Silhouette of a Dream Chapter 6, a charmed fanfic

Chapter 6

A smile cracked on Chris' sleepy face as he heard a set of small feet creaking on the floor board making its way to the room that he shares with his elder brother. The figure of the two little feet that was walking crept up quietly into his arms. "You're too old for this Andy." Chris whispered as he wrapped his arms tighter against the five years old Andrianne.

"The boogieman is coming for me." Andrianne giggled as she whispered.

"There's s no boogieman under your bed." Chris replied as he kissed the top of Andrianne's head. "But you already know that. You're just finding reasons to sleep with me." Andrianne just giggled as she tugged on Chris' arm to hug them. "Sleep in your room tomorrow okay, princess." Chris whispered softly. Andrianne shook her head softly. "And why is that?"

"You get to sleep with big brother and I get to sleep alone. Not fair." Andrianne said sulking a little.

"I'll ask mom to have another sister then." Chris joked. Andrianne pulled away as she sat on Chris' bad. "Now what?" he asked softly.

"I had a sister, right?" Andrianne hesitated before she started. Chris groaned. "Chris, I'm asking. Is Azalea really my sister or is she just living in my room, like a ghost?" Andrianne asked. Chris fell stunned by her question. Never that he thought that name was going to appear again other than in his memory.

Chris sat up on his bed still trying to find his voice to answer to his little sister. "You want to hear a story, Android." Wyatt said a groggily as he turned on the bed side lamp. Andrianne scrunched her eyes and threw her teddy bear at Wyatt. She hated that nickname, yet Wyatt loves it. Or at least she thinks he does.

"Oh come on you two. Can't you just sleep and you stop teasing her." Chris said trying not to look at either sibling of his. "I… I have to go." Chris said as he turned on his heel and made his way out of the room.

Andrianne pouted even more as she reached for Chris's pillow and threw it towards Wyatt. "See what you did." Andrianne said as she stomp her little feet making her way out from the room. Mumbling, as she stomps out of the room.

"That's all on you, Android." Wyatt said as he trailed her. Andrianne muttered something but it was beyond his ability to hear what she just said. "Andrianne." Wyatt said with a little chuckle as he picked his little sister up from behind. "Is she really there?" He asked. Still pouting Andrianne nodded. "Not just another reason you want to sleep with Chris?"

Andrianne sighed. "Okay. A part of me just wants to sleep with him. But she's there, just that not always, sometimes she there." Andrianne admitted feeling a little guilty for ruining both her brother's night.

"But not tonight?" Wyatt spoke more of a statement rather than a question. Andrianne just shook her head. "Let's find your big brother. He got a test tomorrow and he needs his sleep. As for you, little Android, you sleep with me." Wyatt said as Andrianne hit his shoulder a few times with her little hands.

"I'm not an android, Wyatt. Stop calling me android." Andrianne said pouting.

"I really don't want to see my little sister becoming a little android bird. Don't pout so much. You'll look like the girl version of Chris." Wyatt said as he let Andrianne down as Chris came into sight. Andrianne quickly ran to Chris and hugged him from behind as she whined about Wyatt to Chris.

Chris smiled a little as he returned Andrianne's embrace. "You miss her don't you?" Wyatt spoke as he sat beside Chris.

"I really do have a sister. Azalea is…" Andrianne spoke as her eyes search for response from her two brothers.

Wyatt just gave his little sister a little nod. "She was. She passed away before you were born." Chris caressed his little sister's hair gently but absently. "In a way, she was you. Android." Wyatt smiled as he uttered his words and Andrianne's little hand found its way to his arm.

"Enough, Andrianne. Go to sleep, okay. I'll tell you the story tomorrow. I just need sometime alone tonight." Chris said as he looked over to Wyatt. "tuck her in tonight, please." Chris said more of an order rather than a request.

Wyatt just nodded mockingly at him. "Ha. Right, and blew off tomorrow's French test. Very smart." Wyatt quipped. "What you need, is to sleep." Wyatt said as he tugged on his brother's hand. "I'm still your big brother whether you like it or not. I over rule you." Wyatt spoke with such arrogance. "In a good way I mean."

Andrianne rubbed her eyes as the heat of the sun seeped in her room slowly dancing, casting shadows on her floor. Lazily she got off her bed and head towards the bathroom. Either Chris or Wyatt must have put her to bed after yesterday night's incident. "Morning, Azalea." She said groggily as she smiled to the mirror.

"Now do you believe me when I said I am your sister?" The mirror fogged up as the word was spoken, yet other than Andrianne, no one could see the young girl. "I did tell you. But you never listened."

Andrianne sighed as she wiped the mirror for the second time. "Can you please not speak, I'm trying to brush my teeth, and I can't see my reflection with the mirror all fogged up." Andrianne said with the toothbrush in her mouth.

"Andrianne, honey, is everything okay?" Piper startled Andrianne as she knocks on the bathroom door. "What are you doing in there?" She asked.

"I'm getting in the shower mommy, we're going for the interview later. I want to be pretty like Azalea." Andrianne said smiling at the reflection of her and her undead sister in the mirror. "I'll be right out."

Andrianne herd Piper sighed at the mention of the name Azalea. "Your brother told you about your big sister, didn't he?" Piper said as she sat and has her back against the door. "She was pretty, just like you. And Chris loved her very much."

"I know mama, she told me everything." Andrianne said awkwardly. "And she told me that you and daddy never loved her. And let her die! Why did you let her die mama?" Andrianne said almost shouting as she pulled at the door causing Piper to stumble backwards. "Why did you let me die? Why did you let me die mama?" the girl in Andrianne's body shouted. Her pupil were dilated and frozen as if she was not alive.

"Azalea? Let go of your sister." Piper commanded.

"Why mama? Because you love her and not me? Or is it because of she's Leo's daughter?" Andrianne's voice spoke. Though the tone and the pitch were different, it came out of the daughter that her son almost died delivering.

"It doesn't matter whose daughter you are. But you are certainly not my little sister." Chris said appearing from thin air. "Because you're a demon. A demon that takes form of a dead human and possesses their prey. You're a disgusting demon that exist at the very bottom of your kind."

An evil laughter escaped from Andrianne's lips. "What seems to be the matter Chris? You would not hurt me would you?" she spoke sarcastically. "I mean you would never hurt Andrianne. You can't stand seeing her hurt. But you can't protect her forever and you know that. That is what scares you and you know that deep inside everyone has their evil."

Chris just answered the demon with a sneer. "A demon should know better, I would rather see my family dead than giving in to you. I'll fight for their life but I am sure as hell to kill every demon that infer with my family." Chris said with such determination. "Pro abyssus defaeco sententia , quod Olympus contemno sententia , vadum terra expello sententia , pro iam quod pro infinitio." Chris chanted.

Andrianne arrogant face writhes in pain as she slowly sank to the ground. As the red glow in her eyes fades, her energy seems to fade with it. Chris rushed towards his sister and held her. "I thought she was my friend. I let her in my room and she tried to kill you. I'm sorry Chris." Andrianne whispered as Chris assisted her back to her room.

"Everything is going to be just fine, princess." Chris said as Andrianne sat on her bed. "I'm going to talk to mom for a second. Hold on to this." He said as he took a tiny pillow like packet filled with herbs. "Nothing can hurt you now." He smiled then he kissed her forehead before he gently escorted his mother out of the room, out of earshot of Andrianne.

"Is everything going to be alright?" Piper whispered questioning her son as they walked. Chris just nodded answering his mother's question. "Then, what is wrong, Chris? How did you know the demon was coming?"

"She talked about Azalea to me and Wyatt yesterday. He came to us before mom. The same demon, the same time. Only as a different person. For eight years, it has been like déjà vu seeing them all. Where did I go wrong mom?" Chris asked. "I don't want to imprison her like I did. I want her to have friends, we both saw how happy she was in the past, but it's too risky with these demons targeting her to get to us."

"We don't have to Chris. We'll protect her. She doesn't need to be imprisoned." Piper said softly. "You said it yourself; everything is going to be fine. Go back to school, we'll talk about this later." Piper smiled at her son as he shimmered back to school. Piper went straight back to Andrianne's room.

"Where's Chris mommy?" Andrianne asked as she saw Piper walking into the room by herself. Her hand were still fiddling with the tiny pillow that Chris gave her and raising to smell it from time to time.

Piper smiled as she sat beside Andrianne. "Chris went back to school." Piper said. "Do you think you are okay going for the school's interview?" Piper asked. "If you don't feel well, or if you don't feel like it, we can reschedule it."

Andrianne frowned. "I'm fine mommy. Chris is just overly scared all the time." Andrianne whined. "Mommy smell this." She said giving Piper the tiny pillow that Chris gave her. "It smells almost the same with the pendant daddy gave for me to wear every time I go out to play."

Piper smell it and smiled. She knew very well the flowers that was mixed up to make that special smell. "You like the smell?" Piper asked. Andrianne just nodded as she asked for her pillow back. "Where do you want to keep that?" She questioned her daughter.

"in my pocket for now." Andrianne said as she hopped down from her bed and to her dresser and she took the necklace that her father gave her to put it on. "Can you put it in my teddy later mommy. So my teddy can smell nice forever."

"What is your teddy's name?" Piper asked as she took as she took the necklace and put it on Andrianne. Piece by piece Andrianne put on her uniform.

"I like to call it…" Andrianne pause to think for a name. "Riley. Yes, Riley." She said giggling as she handed her mother a brush and a rose colored ribbon to tie her hair up. "But I usually just call him Teddy. Because he is a teddy and the pink bunny, Bunny. " Andrianne said giggling as she placed the little pillow in her pocket and she cuddled her teddy bear. "I can bring Riley along right mommy? I'll leave him in the car during the interview."

Piper just smiled and nodded at her youngest. She has always been the talkative one and the imaginative one. It was no wonder that she was so smart in the past. "Okay, right after the interview, we'll go right to the mall and have ice creams. Would you want that?" Piper asked.

Andrianne shook her head pouting. "We have to pick up Wyatt and Chris first than we can go to the mall. I don't want to eat ice cream without them. It's no fun." Andrianne said.

"Alright then, we'll pick up Wyatt and Chris then we go to the mall." Piper said. Andrianne nodded happily and hugged her mother.

"I love you forever mommy." Andrianne said as she pecked a kiss on Piper's cheek.

Translation:

Chris just answered the demon with a sneer. "A demon should know better, I would rather see my family dead than giving in to you. I'll fight for their life but I am sure as hell to kill every demon that infer with my family." Chris said with such determination. "For hell purge thou , and Heaven despise thou , shall earth banish thou , for now and for eternity." Chris chanted.
