Well, today has sucked. I broke my arm in French class. I stood on a desk to hang up a poster, and fell, and broke my arm. And what's worse? The reason I fell is because the guy I have a crush on bumped into the desk. GGGRRR and so this chapter may end up coming out tomorrow instead of today as planned. I've had a rough day, and so will our heroes.
Ch. 20- The First consequence
Flash Forward 8 months into Piper's pregnancy. The last 8 months have been filled with demon hunts, but no demon has been found tat could possibly turn Wyatt evil That is, until this chapter.
Riley was pacing the floor, after all these months, finally worrying. They hadn't found the demon yet, and time was running out. Chris's reason for coming back was going to be useless in a month's time or less. She knew something in the back of her mind, but couldn't figure it out, but knew it was important.
"Riles, that's not going to help us." Chris teased her and she looked at him.
"We're running out of time, and you're not worried?" She asked a little shrilly. She looked at the man who had been her best friend for 15 years, who in the last 8 months had become more than her friend, but also her protector and lover.
"Of course I'm worried, but how is pacing going to help?" He asked her and she snapped at him angrily.
"I don't know but damn it, do something!" She brushed past him and started down the stairs.
"What do you want me to do, become obsessed like you?" he asked her as he stood at the top of her stairs.
"At least pretend you care what happens to your big brother!" She snapped. Piper came into the room, holding her stomach.
"We have a problem." She panted. Chris looked panicked.
"What? A demon?" He asked looking around.
"Yes! A demon named Chris, who wants to be born now!" Piper felt a contraction go through her, and Riley took charge.
"Chris, go find Leo. I'll call Paige, and I'll watch Wyatt." Riley commanded and Chris nodded as he orbed.
"Paige!" Riley called and Paige appeared a few seconds later.
"What?" She asked.
"Piper's in labor. Take her to the hospital, and I'll watch Wyatt until Leo can be found." She said and Paige nodded, taking Piper's hand and orbing. Riley headed up the stairs. She saw Wyatt awake in his crib and picked him up. She shifted him to her hip, and looked at him.
"You're getting a new brother today Wyatt." She put him in his playpen by the book and flipped through the book, hoping to see something they'd missed. After 10 minutes of searching, she slammed the book shut.
"This isn't helping Wyatt." She told the young child.
"Gwideon." The child gurgled and Riley thought back to the history book where she had seen him, but couldn't remember. Then it hit her.
"Oh my god!" On the day the youngest Halliwell boy was born, Gideon, an Elder tried to kill the oldest Halliwell, but could not. The trauma however, turned him to the dark side forever; convincing him that everyone good was out to kill him. Turning him into the evil being known as Wyatt Matthew Halliwell. Wyatt looked at her fearfully.
"Don't worry Wyatt, he won't get you. Chris!" She called and Chris appeared.
"What can I help you with?" He asked sarcastically before he saw the panicked look on her face.
"Did you find Leo?" She asked.
"Yeah, why?" He replied.
"We've been looking in all the wrong places. I know who turns Wyatt, but you have to watch him!" She said as she took off.
"Be careful! I can't lose you again!" Chris called after her, not knowing he'd be the one to be lost. Chris looked at his big brother, who wasn't that, big at the moment.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." He said as he looked at the book, trying to decide which demon she had seen.
Magic School
Riley had summoned the door to magic school and stormed in. She saw Sigmund, and pushed him against a wall, her hand choking him.
"Where's Gideon?" She asked choking him, and not caring.
"I don't know." He choked out, and she squeezed his throat harder.
"Don't lie to me!" She said.
"I'm not!" he managed to get through his blocked windpipe.
"I'll kill you without a second thought." She growled, and Sigmund knew she was telling the truth.
"You're too late, he's gone." He said and Riley let go of his throat.
"Went where?" She asked, almost knowing what his answer would be.
"To sacrifice the greatest magic ever." Riley spun around and kicked Sigmund in the head, knocking him unconscious, then took off down the long hallway, hoping to get there in time.
Manor
Chris was standing with Wyatt when he heard the footsteps. He looked around and saw nothing, so he chalked it up to nerves. But he knew it was more when he heard it again.
"Time to get you out of here." He said, heading towards Wyatt, but a powerful force threw him across the room.
"Its for his own good, and the good of the world." Gideon said as he threw off his invisibility shield and went to Wyatt. Wyatt knew him, and didn't throw up his shield immediately, which alarmed Chris. He used his telekinesis and threw Gideon across the room. Chris got up as Gideon went invisible again. Chris was halfway to Wyatt when Gideon appeared and stabbed Chris. He pulled the knife out and looked at Chris.
"You made me do that." He picked up Wyatt as Riley burst into the room.
"No!" She screamed as Gideon orbed out with Wyatt and she saw Chris lying on the ground, bleeding heavily. She ran to his side.
"No, oh my god, no! LEO!" She screamed and Leo orbed in.
"What? We're having problems at the hospital. Piper's hemorrhaging." He said before he saw Chris.
"Leo, Gideon stabbed Chris and took Wyatt. You have to heal him, and we'll go save Wyatt." Said a hysterical Riley.
"Gideon?" He asked, shocked as he came to Chris's side.
"He wants to sacrifice Wyatt for the good of mankind." She noticed Leo couldn't heal Chris.
"He won't heal." Leo said, starting to panic.
"Gideon's magic did this to me. It's no use to try and heal me. Go find Wyatt." Chris said pushing away Leo's hand.
"I can't leave you, I can't choose between the two of you." He said.
"I'll go." Riley said, anger evident in her voice.
"Wait, you can't." Leo protested as he orbed Chris to his bed, Riley with him.
"Its my destiny." She said, understanding fully now.
To be continued.
