A Bigger Picture

A/N: Sorry it's short, the story's actually moving now yay. I realised I had everything set up, so hopefully I'll be able to update more frequently. I apologise again about the quality of the writing of this, I was aiming to make it kind of fast paced and have something always happening, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Wyatt ran downstairs and found Sian and Seren were no longer Sian and Seren, but in fact they were small, grey, scaly looking demons, with five claws on the end of each hand. And to make matters worse, the very pissed off Leuctra Wyatt and Skye had orbed to Bermuda was sat in the kitchen, seemingly giving instructions to the smaller demons.

"Damn it," Wyatt muttered.

The three demons turned to Wyatt as he muttered, and Wyatt began orbing himself to the kitchen to obtain a weapon, but as he did the Leuctra threw a fireball at him and Wyatt was hit in the chest and thrown back against the wall.

As he crumpled to the floor, his brother and Whitelighter came down the stairs, armed with ready-prepared potion vials from a trunk in the attic. Chris took one look at Wyatt and ordered Skye to orb his brother upstairs to safety and to heal him. Skye seemed to hesitate in following Chris' demand, but one look at Wyatt confirmed that Wyatt was in greater need of her assistance than Chris would be.

As she orbed Wyatt up to the attic, she took a glance at Chris' determined face, and looked towards the demons, all of whom were watching Chris intently. Skye laid her hands on Wyatt's arm and orbed him away to safety.

Chris took up a fighting stance, and raised one of his potions in his right hand and threw it at one of the smaller demons. It smashed, but very little happened the demon, al that happened was a slight burn on the demons chest where the potion had struck it. Chris prepared to throw a second, but the Leuctra used Chris' focus on the smaller demons to teleport behind Chris, grab his arms, and teleport him away.

Wyatt awoke with a start as Skye finished healing him. His instincts were to instantly jump up and run down to aid his brother in the battle against the Leuctra and two smaller demons.

Skye, however, stopped him from doing so. "You know what happened last time. You went down, unprepared and almost got yourself killed! Do you want to do the same again?"

"Chris would want me to help!" Wyatt said, furious that their Whitelighter was almost trying to stop him from helping his brother. "I'm a witch, it's what I do!"

"What?" snapped Skye. "Get yourself killed?"

There was a pause before Wyatt answered, "It's a risk I'll just have to take," and with that, Wyatt took off downstairs.

Skye, alone for the moment, sighed to herself and orbed away.

Wyatt reached the bottom of the stairs just to see the Leuctra teleport Chris elsewhere. "No!" he called, leaping towards the spot they'd been standing in before, but they were gone before Wyatt could do anything.

The two little demons laughed at his failure, before disappearing themselves.

The Leuctra must have knocked Chris out, because he came to in a small cell, with just a hard prison bed and a small pot in it. He attempted to orb out, but to no avail; the cell must have been blocked from orbing, which also meant that Wyatt wouldn't be able to find him by scrying either.

Chris picked himself up and tried kicking the cell door open, but was thrown back by a powerful force field, no doubt placed there by the head demon himself, Honjuu. Nursing a few bruised areas of his body, Chris tried to listen to what was going on outside, but the walls were either too thick, or extra magical protection was there to stop him hearing anything.

The only thing left to do was wait.

And he didn't have to wait long.

The door opened a half an hour later, and in walked a demon taller that the seven foot Leuctra, with fierce red skin and piercing blue eyes. His teeth were all long, sharp and pointed, and Chris thought that without a doubt, he was looking at Honjuu.

Honjuu clicked his clawed hands behind him at the door, and growled, "Bring me the knife and the vial."

Chris' heart almost stopped when he saw who obeyed the demon's orders.

"Bitch," he whispered.

It was Skye.
