On The Way Down
´Chapter 5´
"You lied to me, you bastard! You swore that he would be all over me!" McKenzie shrieked at the blonde man in front of her, who simply rolled his eyes at her.
"Well, if you're a bitch with no personality whatsoever, it makes things...difficult," The man replied and McKenzie gave him a dark scowl. "Besides, you have to give it time. After all, I know that I still have at least three months before I even have a need for you."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"It means that I really couldn't give a shit about your little issues. I have my own problems and you're only adding to them. So, unless he breaks up with you – don't contact me."
"Just give me another one of those damn drinks!" McKenzie demanded and the blonde rolled his eyes in response as he moved closer to the window and looked out at the street.
"It won't help. I should have known he would be too powerful for it to have a real full effect."
"Don't give me that shit, Matthew! Just give me the damn thing already."
Matthew turned and gave her a dark glare before he rolled his eyes with the shake of his head. "You really are a dumb bitch are you? I already told you it would be a waste."
"You're lying, you tend to do that." McKenzie sneered
"Maybe I am, that's something you'll never find out, now is it?" Matthew asked with a smirk. "If you want Wyatt to be all over you, act more like Chris since clearly it works for him."
"Why would I want to act like a poor worthless little whore?" McKenzie asked
"I don't know, but keep up the good work." Matthew responded with a smile on his face that made McKenzie shudder lightly as she looked away from him. It just wasn't right seeing that smile on Matthew's face; it belonged to someone else and seeing him smile was like déjà vu.
"Fuck you. Chris is nothing to me, he's just a piece of trash; a worthless whore to Wyatt who was stupid enough to spread his legs without even using a fucking condom." Before McKenzie even knew what hit her she was slammed roughly into a wall and her cheek felt like it was on fire. She looked up at Matthew and saw a look she had yet to see on his handsome face. Rage.
"Shut your mouth if you want to live," Matthew snarled. "I didn't ask you for your opinion on Chris; I just told you act more like him. Keep your thoughts to yourself bitch."
"What the hell..." McKenzie whispered as Matthew flamed out of her bedroom.

"Chris, hey! How are you sweetie?" Piper asked as she rushed over towards him when the front door opened to give him a hug and Chris smiled as he hugged her right back. Over the short weeks the two had become quite close and almost never ran out of things to talk about.
"Pretty good." Chris responded with a smile and Piper smiled back.
"Good. How's my little grandson doing?"
"Wonderful, finally sleeping." Chris said with a laugh since he wasn't feeling any kicking or moving at the moment which was absolute heaven. Chris knew that his little boy was going to be a soccer star, he had to be if he had that hard of a kick.
"I bet that must be bliss – Wyatt drove me insane with his kicking. Non-stop kidney shots."
"Oh really? At least now I know where our little guy gets it from." Chris said with a laugh that Piper had to laugh with as well while Wyatt rolled his eyes.
"Hi mom."
"Oh, hi sweetie – sorry." Piper said as she gave her son a hug as well. "So, who wants lasagna?"

"What are you going to do with that girl, Lord Matthew?"
"I'm...not sure yet Alexander." Matthew said slowly as he bit his lip and looked around San Francisco from atop the bridge. It was one of his most favorite places to be, at least, it had been while he was younger and when it was still intact.
"Maybe...Matt, maybe you should re-think this." Alexander said softly and Matthew turned around to look at him with a contemplative look on his face before he shook his head.
"No, I have to do this."
"Why? You could change everything right now. You just have to go to the manor and tell them everything!" Alexander practically begged and Matthew let out a slow deep breath.
"I can't Alex. You don't understand."
"What don't I understand? I've known you since you were born Matt, I know you probably better than you know yourself. Please, just listen to me for once."
"Oh, I've listened to you before. Remember when we were eight? You told me if I jumped off the top of a car I would be able to fly. I had to wear that fucking cast for months!"
"Well, that was a stupid decision to follow." Alexander said with a small smile and got one of those rare soft smiles from his best friend as well as he nodded in agreement.
"It was wasn't it?"
"Yeah, well, I'm trying my best to give you good advice right here. Just tell them truth and put an end to all this shit." Alexander said while trying to persuade Matthew to listen to him.
"Would you give it a rest already? I said no damnit!" Matthew shouted
"Of course, Lord Matthew."
"I can't just give it all up Alex. I've already had a taste of it."

Dinner was a rather loud affair. Chris was rather quiet as he mainly focused on his lasagna and really only spoke when someone asked him a question. Luckily, none of them had any real need to rub his stomach other than Phoebe of course. Every time Chris saw the woman she had to touch his stomach and coo at it for a moment. Chris knew that she was aware of how much it bugged him to, after all, she wasn't an empath for nothing. She just didn't care.
Wyatt was talking rather loudly with Henry Jr. and arguing at any given chance over nothing at all. Piper had stopped up the arguments every now and then when they started to get a bit too vulgar for Phoebe's daughters but other than that it was rather nice. At least, up until desert was served. Chris had taken one look at the caramel dripping from the cheesecake and rushed to the bathroom. He honestly had no idea what made him react that way to it either, up until desert arrived Chris was fairly certain that he loved caramel. He was wrong.
Chris let out a deep sigh when he felt a hand rub circles in his back and knew without turning around that it was Wyatt. He rested his head on the toilet seat for a moment before he flushed and slowly stood up and turned to look at Wyatt. "You ok?" he asked and Chris noticed the look of concern on his face and rolled his eyes with a smile.
"Yeah, I realized that I don't actually love caramel," Chris said with a laugh. "Kind of a stupid thing to get sick about, huh?"
"Just a little," Wyatt agreed with a laugh before they heard a scream from the dining room. Wyatt wasted no time in bolting out of the bathroom with Chris hot on his heels. "Oh my god."
The foyer was literally filled with demons from head to toe. Wyatt quickly threw out his arms and immediately a golden wave washed over the foyer and killed all of the demons but he didn't get the ones in the dining room. Chris quickly looked the demons over and narrowed his eyes when he saw a young man flame into the middle of the foyer and immediately another man shimmered in beside him. He gave them a smirk as he looked around at the destroyed room and almost looked pleased with himself.
Wyatt raised his hand to kill him but before Chris could even think about what he was doing he grabbed it and jerked it down to protect the blonde man. "What the hell are you doing Chris?" Wyatt shouted and the Halliwell's looked shocked and even confused.
"I...I don't know...I...just don't hurt him." Chris stumbled as he kept his eyes locked on the blonde who seemed to be as surprised as the rest of them.
"Why the hell not?" Wyatt snapped and Chris jerked his eyes towards Wyatt and scowled at him.
"Because I said so!"
"As wonderful as this is, I only came to borrow something. I'll be on my way soon." the blonde said with a smirk before he held out his arms and the Book of Shadows orbed into his hands.
"Hey!" Piper shouted and immediately flicked her wrist but before it could hit Chris threw out his own arm and the front door exploded.
"Chris, what the fuck is wrong with you!"
With one last glance at Chris the two men disappeared from the foyer and everyone was silent. Chris took a couple steps away from Wyatt when the said blonde spun around to look at him with rage and confusion clearly evident on his face. "Well?"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"What happened?" Piper asked calmly which shocked the other Halliwell's. Some demon just destroyed their house and stole the book and yet, she was the calmest one there.
"I don't know, I just...couldn't let you hurt him. There was just something about him."
"So you can't even tell us why you let him get away with the Book?" Wyatt asked and Chris hesitated for a moment before he shook his head. "Ok, no big deal. There are just enough spells in there for him to kill us all – really though, no big deal."
"Wyatt!" Piper hissed. "Don't worry about it Chris, it'll all be fine. This has happened many, many times."
"Yeah and every time we die." Paige muttered
"But we come back." Phoebe added as she tried to reassure the pregnant teen. After all, it wouldn't be very good for him to go into very premature labor.
"It still hurts," Paige snapped and earned glares from both of her sisters as she rolled her eyes. "Really though, we'll get it back. We have like seven times before."
"Still!" Wyatt insisted. "We wouldn't have to if you would have let me kill them."
"I'm sorry!" Chris screamed before he started crying and then got angry at himself for crying when he wasn't even sure why he was crying in the first place.
"Way to go Wyatt." Penelope snapped at her cousin.
"Yeah, really nice job." Pandora added in agreement with her twin.
"Am I really the only one who thinks this is a big deal?" Wyatt asked as he looked around and no one said anything to back him up. "Really? No one agrees with me?"
"I do," Henry Jr. said a moment before Henry Sr. smacked him on the back of his head. "Sorry Wy, you're an overeating fucker."
"Henry!" Paige hissed and the boy simply shrugged.
"I'm just never right, am I?"
"No." Pandora snapped and Henry made a face at her in response.
"Chris...please stop crying? I'm sorry, ok. It's not that bad." Wyatt pleaded
"I already started I can't just stop on demand asshole! It's called hormones for a reason."

"I can't believe that just happened," Alexander said as he paced back and forth. "Chris just let you take the Book. Fuck! He practically threw it in your arms."
"Well it did and I'm not too concerned about it right now," Matthew muttered as he flipped through the book for the spell he knew was there. "Where the hell is it?"
"Where's what?" Alexander asked as he stepped closer to Matthew to look over his shoulder at the book.
"The love spell, I know it's in here somewhere." Matthew said as he kept flipping through the pages as fast as he could. It wouldn't be long before all the Halliwell's showed up.
"Maybe it's not in there yet Matt."
"It is, I know it's in here," He muttered before he stopped and grinned. "Perfect."
"What is this going to accomplish Matthew?"
"I need Wyatt distracted so he won't come to rescue Chris when I go after him."
"You mean you sent the entire family after us so you could get one spell? Couldn't you have just flamed into the attic and looked at it there?" Alexander asked
"Hmm," Matthew said with a thoughtful look before he grinned and nodded his head. "Yeah, I guess I could've; but where's the thrill in that?"
Alexander stared at him for a moment before he slowly shook his head and crossed his arms. "I can't believe this. They're looking for us right now and we're going to die."
"Not if they bring Chris along. I have a plan you know."
"Does it involve us dying?"
"...Possibly, yes."
"I don't even want to know."
"That works for me."
Yes, that is it for today. I don't know if I will be able to post tomorrow or not yet but I swear I will the day after if I don't. Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. Anyways, thank you to those who reviewed and I hope you liked the chapter.
