Chapter Nine: Game on

Chris lay in bed or in something very close to a bed. The basement was musty. Not only did it smell like socks but it was all humid. He envied Wyatt, who was in an actual room, in an actual bed, and probably sleeping.

Why did I say I wouldn't sleep with Wyatt?

I'm not scared of him, I never really was at least not much, I was very close to hating him but I never truly could. So why did say no?

Realization hit him, or more likely he assimilated the truth. I don't trust him. I don't trust him. I can't! Not knowing how much evil he's done, I want to. I truly do, but remembering…everything it's impossible, or at least damn near impossible to forget, to trust. Trust is a hard thing to gain back.

He sighed and closed his eyes, trying to sleep. He needed the sleep, but something kept him awake.

The last thing he remembered before something took him, not sleep, more like a waking nightmare. His eyes were opened but he was very far away.

"Chris, oh Chris, hello! You have quite the reputation in the demon world. Killing demons are you?" a mocking voice echoed throughout Chris's head.

Chris looked around, it was all gray.

"WHO ARE YOU?" He demanded angrily. "What do you want?"

"Why Chris, I want you. With you out of the way, taking Wyatt will be a piece of cake. I will take both Wyatt's, I will be invincible!!" the voice laughed sending a chill down Chris's spine.

"I won't let you!" yelled back Chris. Was this the demon that turned Wyatt? Is this the one?

"SHOW YOURSELF! SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!" yelled Chris.

A dark hooded figure appeared in front of Chris.

"Who are you??"

The hooded demon chuckled evilly. "I am the puppet demon. My name is no name. I am no one, and I am everything. I am behind the most evil of demons. I control them; they are my puppets without knowing it. I control most of their actions, not completely but enough. I will control Wyatt like that. I will take the older Wyatt completely, and the young one in time….in time….you will not stop me. The Charmed ones will not stop me."

Chris shook his head. He would not let this happen.

"What are you going to do with me?"

"You will play my game, win you live and have an attempt at truly stopping me, but lose and you die!" the demon answered raising his hand and jerking it rapidly to the left. Instantly the background turned into a maze and Chris was right in the middle.

He looked around. Where did he go?

"Find your way out but beware I shall be watching you, and I shall throw various tests at you, tests that shall test you in the most dangerous ways, ways that will hurt you terribly. Learn to move with the pain and to overcome it," the Puppet demon informed Chris, then left Chris all alone.

There must be a way to contact them. He closed his eyes; maybe he could communicate with Wyatt.

Wyatt!! Wyatt!! Wyatt help me! He called out with this mind attempting to establish contact with Wyatt. No response….

"Ugh!!" he cried out frustrated. He started walking taking a left, where before he knew it a fire bolt was headed his way. He threw himself to the right, and hit the maze's wall where he felt an electrocuting pain run throughout his body. He cried out in pain.

He lay there for long time, breathing deeply. The demon was not kidding; this was definitely going to be painful.

Minutes later, Chris stood up, the pain coursing throughout his body. He groaned painfully.

Wyatt!! Come on, can't anybody hear me!!?? Can't anybody sense something's wrong?? Leo….yes he might hear him.

"Leo!! Leo!! Help!" he yelled out. Then mentally he cried out Leo, Leo!!! Leo I need your help.

Had someone heard him?

Chris felt so frustrated, he started walking again. He limped painfully.

"Come on! DAD! Dad!"

DAD!!! DAD!!!!!

Piper!

DAD

Mom!

DAD
Wyatt!
DAD

There was no help coming, Chris was going to face this alone…like always.

(Back to the real world)

Leo woke up startled. He had heard…Chris. He was sure of it. His son had called him. Something was wrong with Chris.

He glanced quickly at the digital clock, 1:00 am. Should he check up on Chris? He looked at sleeping Piper, yes better make sure everything's ok.

He orbed down to the basement where he saw Chris in bed, probably sleeping. He approached the bed quietly. He glanced down at Chris, he jumped back startled. Chris was unmoving and his eyes wide open.

"Chris are you awake?" asked Leo nudging his son slightly.

There was no response. Leo quickly took Chris's pulse. He was alive, but was wrong??

"Chris can you hear me?" He tried healing him and to his surprise something was wrong with Chris. The healing worked a little than stopped. Was Chris hurt?? I have to get Piper.

"Piper wake up, come on honey. Chris is in trouble," he whispered, nudging Piper gently.

Piper mumbled something as she opened her eyes.

"Piper something is wrong with Chris," Leo whispered urgently.

Piper's eyes instantly snapped open and she was wide awake.

"Chris? What's wrong with him?" she cried out.

"I don't know, look come with me..." He orbed them down to the basement.

Piper approached Chris slowly; afraid of what she might see. She leaned over Chris and stared into his open and empty eyes.

"Is he..?"

Leo shook his head. "He's alive, Piper," he told her.

Piper sighed, relief washed over her.

"Chris, can you hear me? Honey?" she whispered attempting to bring him back from wherever he was.

She glanced at Leo.

"What do we do?" Her chin trembled, as a slow sob escaped her lips.

"Let's look in the Book of shadows. Wake the girls and Wyatt up," decided Leo. Piper nodded. She ran up the stairs to the kitchen then to her sister's room.

"Phoebe Wakeup!"

"Paige Wakeup!"

"Wyatt Wake up!"

"CHRIS NEEDS US!" SHE YELLED FRUSTRATED AND SCARED

She really hoped Chris would be ok. Her chin trembled as another sob, threatened to escape her lips.
