Chapter Fourteen: Death Takes Two Halliwells

It was dark, and there was a proverbial smell that surrounded Chris as he looked around and he knew he was someplace in the underworld but not exactly sure where.

He was chained to a wall and he felt an ache in his wrists where the chain clung and pinched his skin. "Krystal?" he whispered to himself softly as he remembered his brother's wife was with him before everything blacked out.

He frowned in to the darkened cavern, where the hell was Krystal? He closed his eyes and tried to sense for her but he couldn't find the power within him. He tried to orb but the swirls of blue twinkling lights surrounded him for a second before fading away again.

"My powers?" he mumbled to himself still trying to work out his surroundings. He sighed and quickly thought of a spell to see if those are working. "In now I seek in now I fight, I call upon the power of light come to me and help see in the darkness of this night." He chanted and twinkling white lights surrounded him brightening up the cavern giving him a better view of where he was.

Krystal was nowhere to be seen, where the hell was she, she couldn't have been dead there's no way. "Least I can cast spells, that's a good sign."

Krystal opened her eyes as she glanced around and a sense of panic settled itself into her gut. Where the hell am I?

She sits up in the bed she was laying in and looked around the strange room she fails to recognize, "Wyatt?" she calls out looking up at the ceiling and nothing. "Chris?" she calls out again and he doesn't come either.

"LEO?" she yelled and he didn't respond, she closed her eyes and tried to orb out when a force wouldn't let her tap into her powers, it was almost as if there was wall within her blocking it off.

"What the hell is going on, where the hell am I?" she asked and jumped when she heard a deep voice behind her "I believe I can answer that question." He said with a smirk as he moved closer to the bed she was sitting on.

"Jesus, who the hell are you, what do you want from me?" she asked quickly backing away from him, ready to run off or fend off attacks if he tried anything.

"My sweet Annabelle…" he said inching closer to her and Krystal blinked "Annabelle? My name is Krystal." She said backing away from him again.

The strange man who Krystal assumed was a demon laughed tauntingly folding his arms over his chest and glaring at her with a certain glee in his eyes.

"No, my dear you are Annabelle, Krystal is what you are calling yourself now, but looking at you, you haven't changed one little bit my love, you are just as beautiful as you always were." He said crossing the bed walking over to her.

"I don't know what you are talking about, I am not who you think I am you have made a mistake, I don't know Annabelle I have never met an Annabelle please just let me go okay." She pleaded backing away from him.

The demon sighed and tittered, Krystal frowned as fear began to win over her, "Oh baby, you have been repressed by the might of morality, but don't worry I will help you remember what you once were my princess, what we once were, before those brutes took you away from me." He said reaching out to touch her but Krystal back away and before she could move a force-field appeared and covered her a sudden force of energy throwing the demon across the room away from her.

Krystal blinked and looked around "What the…hell." She muttered looking down at her stomach she frowned, "Oh wow…" she whispered when she realized it was her unborn child protecting her from the demon.

"What is this, I stripped you of your powers how is it you still have them?" he asked marching towards her but, he kept his distance not wanting to be thrown across the room again.

"I…don't, that's not my power." She admitted, hiding the fact that she is pregnant from the unknown demon. "You have become more powerful than I last remember my dear…but don't worry I'm going to save you from all the poison that you have been infected with. You will once again become mine and claim your rightful place as my queen and together we will rule the world." He said with a smirk.

"What are you talking about, I have told you I am not Annabelle I'm Krystal, you are mistaking me for someone else, I'm not who you think I am, I'm not a queen." She pleaded but he was having none of it.

"You will soon see the light my love, but for now you rest as you will need all your energy for the wedding, we must finish what be had begun." He said turning on his heel and exiting the room.

"Wedding? Wait, what you mean wedding, hello?" she called out as panic began to course through her veins. "Oh, my god." She muttered looking around the room she noticed the wedding dress hanging on the door.

"Holy shit!"

Back at the Halliwell Manor, the tension was as thick as fog. Wyatt sighed as he flipped through the book of shadows. "Powers of the witches rise, course unseen across the skies come to me who calls you near come to me and settle here, blood to blood I summon thee blood to blood return to me…" Wyatt chanted cutting himself and dripping his blood into the cauldron, he looked around and sighed defeated.

"In this night and in this hour I call upon-"

"-Wyatt, honey, you have to stop you have been trying all night, the call is too weak they wont respond not if they are in the underworld." Piper said moving over to her distressed son who looked at her, the pain of losing the most important people in his life evident in his blue eyes which were rimmed red and puffy from lack of sleep.

"I don't understand, Chris is my brother, and Krystal is carrying my baby what bigger connection is there than that, I should be able to summon one of them if not both." He said slamming the book shut and pinching the bridge of his nose.

Piper sighed and rubbed her sons back in comfort, "Sweetie, we don't know where they are or what we are dealing with here, wherever they are it could be magically cloaked which is why they are not responding to your call, we have at least find comfort in that they are together, Chris wont let anything happen to Krystal." She assured him but Wyatt didn't relax one bit, he needed, no he wanted his wife and brother back safely.

He knew Chris wouldn't let anything happen to Krystal and would protect her all the way, but he had a gut feeling that something wasn't right and he was not about to sit back and wait while his family fell apart, no he was going to find them even if it meant going down to the underworld and battling every demon down there for answers.

He nodded to himself and closed his eyes, a swarm of white lights surrounded him and he was dressed in different clothes, he was in his 'Ass kicking' outfit which was how Chris had portrayed them.

"Wyatt, what are you doing?" Piper asked her eldest son who was in his combat clothing which he only wore when he was in the underworld. "I'm going to find my wife and brother, mom I can't sit here and do nothing, someone must know something and I'm going to find them." He said and disappeared with a flock of bright orbs.

Piper rubbed her hands over her face and sighed, she looked up at the ceiling

"Leo!"

"Shit!" Krystal exclaimed as she tried to blow her way through the window but it seemed the place was magically cloaked and tapping into the baby's tiny powers weren't doing her much justice at the moment either.

"Come on baby, mommy really needs your help, can you take me to daddy or Uncle Chris…come on sweetie please." She said talking to her belly and sighed.

"Damn it." She sighed and dropped to the floor in defeat, but frowned when a swarm of white lights surrounded her and she was sitting someplace dark.

"Uh-oh?" Krystal mumbled into the darkness, "Where the hell am I?" she asked no one in particular.

"Krystal?" sounded a familiar voice she looked around quickly "Chris?" she called out quietly still looking around and gasped when lights filled the air giving her a clear view of her brother-in-law. "Oh, oh my god Chris I have never been so happy to see you…but wait how am I seeing you? How the hell did I get here…" she stops and gasps not giving Chris a chance to speak "Noo, oh my god the baby brought me…"

"Um actually Krystal it was me, I cast a spell to bring you to me and I guess it must have worked." He said with a smirk and Krystal blinked. "Oh, okay, but how do you have your powers because I don't have mine?" she asked curiously and Chris shrugged.

"Well I don't have my powers, well not the active ones anyway, but I can somehow still cast spells." He said pulling at the chains. "Can you get me out of these please?" Chris asked gesturing to the chains and Krystal nodded and moved over to him and began pulling on the chains.

"Um, these are solid Chris I don't think I can get them off." She said looking at him but before she could move back the chains blew off and Chris groans as he fell to the floor.

"What the hell was that, I thought you didn't have your powers?" Chris asked rubbing his wrists gingerly looking at Krystal who merely blinked.

"That wasn't me, I think it was the baby, earlier a force-field appeared and repelled the demon as soon as he came near me." She explained quietly and Chris nodded.

"Right, well sounds like my little niece or nephew might be following their fathers footsteps, Wyatt was able to use his powers from inside the womb too." Chris explained dusting himself off.

"Well that's great, but right now we need to get out of here before I become the bride of a demon and some kind of world ruling queen." Krystal explained and Chris frowned.

"Bride?" Chris intoned and she nodded. "Yeah, he keeps calling me Annabelle…wait a second if you can cast spells maybe you can call our powers back?" she said and Chris frowned.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking; we could give it a try." He said thinking of a spell. "Powers of the witches rise, come to us from across the skies, return our magic give us back all that was taken from the attack…" he chanted and they both waited eagerly.

Chris glowed which usually meant he got his powers back but Krystal however did not. "Well you got yours back," she said ruefully and Chris frowned. "I don't get it that should have given you your powers back, why didn't it work?" he asked and Krystal shrugged.

Krystal opened her mouth to speak but got interrupted, "What's going on in there?" asked a deep voice, Krystal looked at Chris who held out his hand. "Come on I'll orb us out." He said securely taking her hand into his and a swarm of twinkling lights surrounded them, Chris disappeared but Krystal remained where she was, an invisible force keeping her grounded.

"Oh no." she thought looking around as the guard approached her. "What are you doing in here, how did you get here?" he asked his deep voice loud and frightening.

"Um…"

Chris appeared in the attic of the Halliwell manor and looked beside him and frowned. "Shit…shit…SHIT!" he yelled running over to the book.

"Wyatt?" Chris called out looking through the book for a way to get to Krystal. "Wyatt?" he called again and no response. He frowned, where the hell is he?

"WYATT?!" he yelled this time louder than before and a swirl of blue and white orbs filled the room along with Piper and his aunts rushing through the door.

"Chris thank god." Piper said hugging her son where as Wyatt was relieved to see his brother was looking for his wife frantically. "Chris…where's Krystal?" Wyatt asked moving towards his brother who returned to the book.

"I was just with her, I tried orbing her out of there but something was holding her back…she has no powers, I think who ever it is that has her doesn't want her to leave." Chris explained and Wyatt narrowed his ocean blue eyes.

"Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me that you left my wife who is carrying my unborn child back there completely defenseless, with no powers?" Wyatt asked his voice low and hoarse illustrating his anger.

"No, I didn't just leave her Wyatt, and she's not completely defenseless, it seems your unborn baby is coming into his powers early, it formed a force-field and repels any evil that comes close to Krystal, so she's safe for now, but I don't know for how long, I called our powers back but only mine returned." He explained flipping through the book.

Wyatt began pacing the room, "Chris where were you do you know where she is, where you where?" He asked quickly and Chris nodded. "Yeah I can orb back there but I'm sure they know that I have orbed out and they have probably already blocked any magic entering into the lair." He explained looking up at his older sibling whose eyes were filled with concern.

"She's safe for now, she has the baby's powers to protect her, I never got a look at the demon that took her but Krystal mentioned something about becoming a bride and a ruling queen of some sort." He said and Wyatt's eyes turned a different shade of blue.

"A bride?" he asked worriedly and Chris nodded. "Yeah, she said he thinks she is someone called Annabelle?"

"Wait, did you just say Annabelle?" Wyatt asked quickly and Chris nodded. Wyatt frowned for second "Durain, look for a demon named Durain." He said moving over to his brother side who shot him a wary look.

"Sweetie?" Piper asked and his blue eyes narrowed for a second. "Krystal mentioned something about a dream she had, but she said it didn't feel like a dream but a premonition, I was going to check it out but we got attacked and I guess it must have slipped my mind." He explained and Chris stopped at a page and nudged Wyatt who followed his finger.

"Durain is an upper level demon, he was once a mortal but fell in love with a witch named Annabelle, she was going to give up her powers for him and they were to get married until his lover got murdered and Durain lost his humanity and made a deal with a demon to find his fiancées killers and revive her." Chris read and thought for a second.

"Krystal said that she looked just like her, maybe it's her past life?" Wyatt said and they all frowned. "Could be a possibility, is there a vanquish?" Paige asked and Chris nodded.

"Yeah there's a potion." He said and they girls nodded. "Well I guess its time to divide and conquer, Wyatt and Chris you get on that potion, and the girls and I will come up with a very powerful spell to break the enchantment on his lair." Piper said and they all nodded and got on with their tasks.

Krystal sighed as she looked around the room she was back in once again, the door swung open and the demon from before entered. "Look, I know what you want from me okay, but it's not going to happen I'm already married and I'm sure you have heard who my husband is, I can assure you that right now he out there looking for me and when he finds me and which he eventually will, he's going to kill you in the worse possible manner, so in the best interest of you I suggest you let me go." Krystal rattled on and the demon rarely blinked.

"Lord Durain, we are ready sir." Another demon said from behind him and Krystal's face froze. "Dur…Durain?" she asked and he nodded. "Yes my love." He said sitting beside her on the bed.

"That's why you seem so familiar, I saw you in my dream the other night, but how?" she uttered scratching her head confused.

"It wasn't a dream my dear, it was a memory, one of which you shared with me." He said and Krystal frowned. "I don't understand, and I just really don't know what you're talking about." Krystal mumbled standing up.

"You and I were lovers, we were very much in love, until those killers murdered you, when they found out you were a witch, well at least I thought you were murdered." He said leaning in to touch her but Krystal flinched and moved.

"I was not murdered okay, and I was never in love with you, I don't know who you are, I love Wyatt my husband whom I am happily married too and expecting his baby." She said in one quick breath and Durain's eyes widened.

"You are carrying Wyatt Halliwell's child?" he asked his black eyes smoked over and Krystal froze. "Um, well yeah I am, look I'm sorry but I am not your lover, you have made a mistake." Krystal said and Durain began to walk towards her and Krystal retreated.

"How could you?" he asked quietly at first, and Krystal frowned "How could you do this to ME!" he roared and Krystal jumped from the sudden intensity in his voice. "Please just let me go." She pleaded and Durain's eyes blazed over with fire and with a wave of his hand Krystal flew in to a wall a few meters away.

She got back up on her feet to only be thrown into furniture; the sounds of her anguished cries filled the air. "Stop!" she cried as she spat out blood, but Durain was only beginning "If I don't have you then no one will, you and your brat will die" he growled and Krystal cried. "No." she breathed tears streaming down her face.

"Wyatt!"

Wyatt was pacing the room as Chris finished off the potion and his mother and aunts wrote the spell. "ARGH!" he exclaimed as a sharp pain shot through his brain, "Wyatt?" Piper went to his side and he fell to his knees. "Krystal…" he breathed between cries of pain. "His hurting her." he roared through his pain.

"We have to go, is the potion ready?" Piper asked and Chris nodded holding the vial with the yellow liquid in it.

"And the spell?" she asked her sisters and Phoebe nodded and they both stood up. "All right lets chant the spell." Piper said moving over to join her sisters. "To get through the gate, door unlock, no magic block!" the girls chanted and Piper and Paige both glare at Phoebe. "What, it's the best I could come up with at such short notice okay." She defended.

"Wyatt, can you orb?" Chris asked helping his brother up who nodded. "Yeah, yeah I'm okay." Wyatt nodded standing straight, with that said they all orbed out.

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I'll pray to the gods let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside,
Now I know why

"ARRRRGH!" Krystal yelled as she was yet again being thrown across the room from wall to wall. "Seventy years I was looking for you…and you…you betray me….you will DIE!" he growl conjuring an athame and walking towards her. Krystal was beaten up badly, she was covered in bruises and cuts, her head was bleeding but she was still standing.

"No, please don't…NOOO!" she screamed and her breath caught in her throat, her green eyes widened and tears streamed down her cheeks as the blade twisted in her gut.

Orbs filled the room and formed into the halliwell family just in time to see Durain pull out the blade from Krystal's stomach and watch her crumble to the floor.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments,
Imagine you'd be here.
All of my memories keep you near,
Your silent whispers, silent tears

"NOOOO!" Wyatt roared his blue eyes wide, with a wave of his arm Durain went flying back into a wall. Anger blazing in his icy blue eyes Wyatt raised his arm and Durain hovered 5 feet in the air, when began tightening his fist telekinetically squeezing the life out of his heart Durain struggled for breath. "You're child…is…no…more." He said with his last breath and smirked before Wyatt let him fall to the floor.

"Vanquish him!" he yelled to his younger brother who wasted no more seconds and threw the vial and it erupted into flames leaving Durain screaming in a pile of ashes.

Wyatt ran to his wife's side and took her into his arms, "Krystal, god baby I'm so sorry." He said holding out his shaking hand and waiting for the golden glow to heal her.

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go home.

Her wound very slowly began healing, but before he could finish healing her a swarm of demons began attacking them again. "Wyatt!" Chris called to inform him of the new invasion and the fireballs that were heading his way.

Wyatt put up his shield around himself and his wife as he healed her, cries of pain vibrated the walls of the lair, Wyatt's eyes were fixed on his wife's almost healed wound. Krystal gasped and her eyes flickered open being greeted with her husbands pain filled ones. "The baby…" she trailed off and Wyatt dropped his gaze and shook his head. "No, no." She cried shaking her head, Wyatt saw the pain in her eyes and she backed away from him.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments,
Imagine you'd be here.
All of my memories keep you near,
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

"MOM!" Chris yelled as he rushed towards his mothers bleeding form, "Wyatt!" he screamed and with one last look at his wife Wyatt rushed towards his mother. Krystal stood up her anger spilling over the surface of her emotions when the cavern began shaking violently.

"You killed my baby." She said as tears escaped her green eyes she held out her hand and a mass of energy blew out of them and fried all the demons in her way blowing them all up.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I'll love you

"No, come on!" she heard her husband yell when the wound in her heart didn't heal, she moved over to stand beside him. "No, no please come on, you can't die, YOU CAN'T!" Wyatt yelled desperately trying to heal her.

After the third attempt, Wyatt gave up and collapsed on to his mother's limb body, his body shaking in horse heartbreaking sobs, the only sounds echoing in the walls of the lair was the cries and whimpering of the loved ones of Piper Halliwell.

Phoebe and Paige we holding onto each other crying, Chris was holding his dead mothers body in his arms rocking her as Wyatt was crying into his wife's chest who held him close as they all cried over the loss of yet another Halliwell.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments,
Imagine you'd be here.
All of my memories keep you near,
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

All of my memories...
