Bianca looked at Chris, with both love and a hint of annoyance.
"Chris!" Piper demanded, "You know her?" Chris, his mind in conflict over protecting his secrets and aiding the woman he loved, stood rather still.
Unfortunately, the other darklighter took care of it.
"Know him? She's his fiancé!" The darklighter said, with a smug grin sitting on his face. Hehoped his master would be proud of him for spilling one of the traitor's secrets, and being in the Dark Lord's favor was necessary for survival. He looked over to his partner, who nodded at him subtly.
The sisters were in shock. They thought that Chris was many things… but a family man? It never crossed their minds.
Leo, however, was enraged. His face contorted, his mouth twisting up with ire. He was tired of Chris' lies and deceitful ways. He knew that this was just a ploy to try to gain the sisters' trust, so that he could get closer to Wyatt. Leo vowed to himselfnever tofall for it.
The darklighters, seemingly oblivious to all other's torments and confusion, continued to drive their arrows at the force field. Chris, whostood in the middle of the room, was finding it difficult not to come to Bianca's aid. His hands itched to kill those who were hurting hissoon to befamily.
"Hey!" Piper yelled. The darklighters both look at her, distracted by her sudden outburst. She raised her hands quickly, and gestured to blow them up.
The two demons fell back a few steps, and quickly regained their balance.
The Charmed Ones looked at each in fear, then back at the darklighters, who were grinning unnecessarily at them.
"Why didn't they blow up?" Phoebe mumbled, looking from one darklighter to the other, "You can blow up them, you have before. Leo, why didn't they blow up?"
The elder looked panickly at the people in the room. He didn't know why either.
"The Dark Lord has bestowed great gifts upon us, one of which enables us to have a higher tolerance toward your powers, witches." The first darklighter smirked.
"Highly educated, too," Paige said quietly, in refrence to their vocabulary, whcih seemed larger than most demons they have fought.
"He also gave us this…" the second darklighter added, not paying attention to the sister's comments, and flourished a glimmering and deadly-looking knife, that glowed a dim red. He tossed it toward the one who stood by the woman in her protective shield.That darklighterposed, ready to slice through the electric current and the force field, thus slaying the woman inside.
"NO!" Chris shouted, and thrust his hand out in front of him. From his palm shot a bright stream of light, which went straight through the first darklighter, as the other scrambled for his crossbow. The first darklighter was reduced to ashes, and Chris aimed for the second one.
As the remaining one was shot through, he looked at the angered whitelighter in disbelief.
"He said you wouldn't use you powers against us… he lied to us!" he yelled, enraged, as he burned and died.
