As he wept over his brother's lifeless and terribly pale body, Chris didn't see his hands light up. Through his tears, he finally sees his hands shining above Wyatt's body.
"Oh my God !" Chris breathed.
When he saw his brother's color returning, Chris clasped his hands together and brought them to Wyatt's heart. The glowing golden halo intensified and slowly brought Wyatt backā¦
"Come on Wyatt, come back." Chris said as his tears started to dry up.
When Chris' hands went out, Wyatt opened his eyes as he caught his breath. He sat up on his bed, and looked at his brother.
"I knew you'd do it." he said.
The two brothers fell into each other's arms, and Chris began to cry again but with relief.
"I really thought I lost you. Why didn't you tell me ?" Chris asked.
"That love was the trigger ? You had to find out for yourself, otherwise it wouldn't have worked." Wyatt replied. "I'm proud of you, bro."
They moved away. Chris's relief was more than evident, and he made no attempt to hide it. He dried his watery eyes.
"The next time you do something like that to me, I'll kill you myself." he threatened jokingly.
Wyatt burst out laughing, before Keira's face flashed in his mind.
"The potion to defeat Crowley ?" Wyatt asked, getting serious again.
"It's ready." replied Chris.
"Okay, prepare some vials, I'm going to take a shower and then we're going to Magic School with the Book of Shadows." Wyatt explained.
"Let's go !" Chris nodded.
At Magic School, Piper and Paige had just discovered the same thing as Phoebe in Bianca's mother's book.
"It gets complicated." Piper said.
"But nothing is impossible. With a good strategy, we'll defeat him." Melinda affirmed.
They were all stopped in their conversation by a flood of blue light typical of the Whitelighters. Wyatt and Chris materialized in the middle of the room, Wyatt the Book of Shadows in his hands, and Chris the vials containing the potion.
"Wyatt !" Piper breathed.
"You are alive !" cried Melinda.
She jumped around her brother's neck, and he had just enough time to let go of the grimoire from his hands to receive his sister in his arms.
"Were you scared for me, little shrimp ?" Wyatt joked.
"Of course I was scared." Melinda replied. "And don't call me that."
He hugged his sister as hard as he could, before releasing her. He dried the few tears that were beading in the corner of Melinda's eyes, before going to take his mother and father in his arms.
"We were really worried." Piper told him.
"I'm fine, thanks to Chris." Wyatt reassured them.
In turn, Wyatt hugged his family members, and when it was over, he said :
"Keira must be rescued."
"It won't be that easy." Phoebe said.
"Why ?" Wyatt asked.
Paige handed him Bianca's grimoire, and Wyatt discovered Crowley's hidden side : a ruthless demon, who was always protected by witches.
"He hides behind demons, he's just scared." Wyatt said, putting the book down. "He doesn't scare me."
"He should not be taken lightly." Billie expounded.
"This motherfucker took my girlfriend and he almost killed me, I'm not going to hide or anything just because he's protecting himself. We also protect ourselves, and we are stronger than him or those demons." Wyatt retorted.
"I agree with Wyatt, we've wasted enough time." Chris said.
"But it all depends on the number of witches and demons he has won over to him, there won't be enough of us if only the three of us go." Bianca said, pointing at the three of them.
"What about us ?" Melinda said indignantly.
"It's too dangerous." Bianca told them.
"We know how to defend ourselves." Melinda assured them.
"We practiced a lot." pressed Prudence.
"When ?" his mother wondered.
"Uh, we were training in secret." Melinda said, feeling her mother getting mad at her.
"Show me !" Piper told them.
"What ?" Melinda and Prudence wondered.
"Show us what you can do." Phoebe encouraged them.
The two cousins settled down, and by mutual agreement showed those around them what they were really capable of.
Coughing from the dust in the cave, Keira gave up trying to sleep. At the same time, how could she in this sordid place ? She thought of only one thing : Wyatt ! Was he alive ? Had Chris managed to find the strength within himself to save his brother ?
"I would know if he was dead." Keira thought. "I would have felt it."
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. With her hands behind her back, still trapped in her chains, she called on one of her powers, but discreetly. Slowly, she felt the cold attack her chains that she held firmly in her hands. It might take a while for it to be weakened enough by the cold to manage to break them, but she had to try everything.
"Peckish ?"
She looked up and saw Crowley approaching her with a wooden bowl.
"It's meat, do you want some ?" he offered her.
"Choke on it !" she snapped.
"Keira, Keira, Keira, my little witch, don't be so defensive. I'm offering you a truce so you can feed yourself." he laughed, offering her the bowl.
"Crowley, you fucking pathetic demon bastard, I don't want anything from you, and you won't get anything from me." she replied.
Crowley sighed loudly. Keira knew he was getting more and more impatient, and she was internally gloating.
"You are not very cooperative, my little Keira." he lamented.
"Because you think after killing my family and hurting my boyfriend, I'll do whatever you want ? Go fuck yourself !" she told him.
"Speaking of your boyfriend, he must be dead by now." smiled Crowley.
A flash of rage passed in Keira's eyes, which Crowley noticed and he smiled even more.
"Crowley ?"
A man entered. Keira looked him over to see who he was. He looked like a man of twenty at the most, with messy brown hair and the look of a biker with his leather outfit and thigh-high boots.
"Cliche !" Keira thought.
"What are you doing here ? go back to your position." Crowley ordered him.
"Precisely, we are going to stay there keeping watch for how much longer ? It's clear that no one will come to save this bitch's ass." the demon retorted, pointing at Keira.
"I prefer not to take any risks. The Halliwells are very cunning, they will find us, and if they do before I have what I have been coveting for so long now, I want them to be given the proper welcome." Crowley said.
"And this Whitelighter ?" asked the demon.
"He's probably dead by now, now go back to Taila and Asher, and tell the other three to be careful." Crowley commanded.
The demon stalked off again, and Crowley turned his attention back to Keira. The latter let out a smirk in spite of herself.
"What ?" Crowley asked her.
"You hide behind demons, I knew it, you're scared." Keira replied.
"I'm not afraid of anyone, and even less of those old witches." countered Crowley.
Keira turned her head away, and continued to freeze her chains as discreetly as possible.
At Magic School, Melinda and Prudence risked a glance at their loved ones after their little magic demonstration.
"Wow !" Bianca giggled.
"Um, honey, when did you acquire your gift of ubiquity, and how do you manage to do telekinesis in your astral form, in your two astral forms ?" Phoebe asked her eldest.
"I practiced a lot." replied Prudence.
"Prue never could, and she was the strongest of us." Piper said, referring to their missing sister.
"I'm proud of you, my dear." Phoebe said hugging her daughter.
Piper looked at her only daughter with a raised eyebrow, and Melinda could only smile.
"So, can we be part of the rescue mission ?" asked Prudence.
The Halliwell sisters looked at each other, and agreed.
"Only if you listen to Wyatt and Chris." Paige told them.
"Understood !" nodded the girls.
"We have to prepare !" Piper said.
As Wyatt took back the Book of Shadows, which he had dropped on the ground after his little sister's assault, Bianca's mother appeared on the school grounds. She and her daughter Bianca were the only "demons" allowed inside.
"Mom ?" Bianca wondered.
"Crowley has six demons in his service and they protect the cave where he takes refuge. You will have to be very careful." Bianca's mother advised them.
"You haven't been spotted ?" Piper asked him.
"No, but I advise you to be on your guard when you release Keira." she replied.
The Book of Shadows slipped from Wyatt's hands, and landed on the ground as the young man was seized with a strange sensation. He was in a trance and almost fell to the ground but Chris caught him.
"Wyatt, you're alive thank goodness !" Keira's voice came to him.
"How many times have I told you not to surprise me like that !" Wyatt growled.
"Sorry, but I had no choice. Crowley has guards, be very careful." she told him.
"We know, Bianca's mother took care of everything." Wyatt said.
"I will sense your presence as soon as you are in the Underworld, and I will take advantage of that moment to attack Crowley." she explained.
"Be careful." he warned her.
"I'll be careful, I love you !" she told him.
"I love you too !" he replied.
The telepathic transmission was severed, and Wyatt came back to him, taking a deep breath.
"What happened ?" Piper asked.
"Nothing, it was just Keira contacting me." Wyatt replied.
He repeated to them his conversation with Keira, and the plan was set in motion. There was no time to waste and go to Keira's rescue !
