Wyatt was in the dark basement. The only light that showed was the light coming from the kitchen because of the open door. Wyatt was now having a conversation with the shadow.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Wyatt asked the shadow.

"Chris," said the shadow slowly.

"Done. But how? I know Chris, he'll be ready to say the vanquishing spell right away once he sees you. Especially when he realizes that I turned," said Wyatt.

"Make him think that you are on his side and trick him to get him down here," ordered the shadow.

"As you wish," said Wyatt and he headed upstairs and out of the basement. Knowing that Chris would be home soon, Wyatt went into the living and grabbed his laptop and pretended to work.

Chris orbbed home within the next couple of minutes on the kitchen floor disoriented. When he orbbed from P3 he had both feet on the ground and was ready to land on both feet on the kitchen. He had no clue why he had landed flat faced on the floor.

He started to think of how it happened while he got up and looked for Wyatt. Then the thought came to him, the shadow must have been out so long that it must be starting to take over the house.

When Chris found Wyatt he was in the living room.

"Sorry it took so long, I tried to get out as fast as I could but things kept coming up," apologized Chris and then continued, "have you tried orbing since I left?"

"No, Why?" asked Wyatt.

"When I orbbed something threw me off and I landed on my face. Do you think that it has to do with the shadow being out to long," explained Chris.

"Doubt it. I bet it's just because your clumsy," said Wyatt coldly, "don't give it another thought – just focus and you'll have it down. Now if your done, I'm not in the mood to comfort you about your powers." Then Wyatt walked upstairs and out of sight from Chris.

Chris looked more confused than when he first orbbed home. He had never seen his brother talk to him like that. He knew that his brother had stronger and more powers than he did but Wyatt had never rubbed his face in it. He thought that something might have happened to Wyatt but then thought that he might just be in a bad mood and would have to come out of it soon.

It was the next morning and Chris noticed that Wyatt still hadn't come out of his mood. Wyatt told Chris he had already finished eating breakfast and was taking a day off work.

Chris thought that it was for the best because they needed to vanquish the shadow, especially since Chris was positive that the shadow took over the house and that was the reason he was knocked to the floor when he orbbed inside.

"What did you do to keep yourself busy last night," asked Chris pouring himself a bowl of cereal.

"The usual," said Wyatt quickly.

"So what's up…Why are you acting like this?" asked Chris.

"Nothing…So how are we going to get rid of the shadow?" Wyatt said trying to change the subject.

"Okay…Let's go and vanquish the shadow once I am done with this okay," decided Chris.

"Fine," agreed Wyatt. He waited for Chris to finish his bowl of cereal.

Chris finished and got up, "Remember, I got your back, you got mine."

Chris went first and headed down the stairs of the basement. Wyatt pretended to follow but stopped at the top of the steps. Chris was at the bottom of the steps when he realized that Wyatt was not following. Chris turned around and looked at Wyatt.

Chris asked, "Wyatt are you coming?"

Wyatt opened his mouth and started to answer but the shadow spoke before he did, "Your brother belong to me." Then the shadow gave its laugh. Chris looked back up at his brother and Wyatt gave an 'its true' look and smiled.

"Now it's your turn to be taken over," said Wyatt.

"I don't think so," replied Chris and he waved his hand at the door and it instantly shut, then continued, "One evil at a time." He turned his hand and the door locked. He knew it would not stop Wyatt but at least delay him for a couple seconds.

"Now, it's your turn," said Chris turning to the shadow.

Then Chris started to recite the spell, "I am light…" The basement door bust open because Wyatt body checked the door. Chris' arm flew backwards and stayed, shutting and keeping the door shut.

"I am one too strong to fight…" Then the door blew up. Chris turned his head fast to see Wyatt and quickly looked back at the shadow.

"Go back to dark where shadows dwell…" Small white lights started to appear. Wyatt said Chris' name softly and waved his hand. Chris flew sideways into the wall.

"You can't have this Halliwell…" More lights appeared and started to encircle the shadow.

Wyatt was now at the bottom of the steps. Wyatt looked at his brother and realized that he could not continue hurting his brother. Then the influence of the shadow took over again. It was obvious to Chris that Wyatt was trying to resist the shadow.

"Now go away and leave my sight…" The lights were moving faster around the circle. Wyatt's hand started to rise. Chris' was faster and wove his hand forcing Wyatt to fly backwards into the opposite wall.

"And cast away this endless night," finished Chris. The lights circled and enclosed the shadow forcing it to retreat back into the ground and sealing itself inside.

Wyatt was sitting on the ground where Chris had pushed him. He was holding his head, Wyatt was now himself again. Chris got up quickly and ran over to Wyatt.

"Hey! Are you okay," asked Chris and got onto his knees, checking to see if his brother was okay.

"Yeah, I am fine, just a headache. Listen I didn't mean to…" began Wyatt but being cut off Chris.

"I know, I saw you trying to resist it. He was just too strong," said Chris then continuing, "Orb upstairs and take an aspirin. We'll hang out tonight at the club."

They both disappeared in orbs leaving the basement.

Later that night……

Chris and Wyatt are at the bar, both having a beer. Wyatt decided to change the conversation from what they were previously talking about.

"So how come you haven't said it yet?" asked Wyatt.

"I wanted you to say it this time," said Chris.

"Fine. You were right, I was wrong. Just because I have more powers we should go with a plan and not just wing it," admitted Wyatt.

"Was that so hard," said Chris jokingly and both smiled. They turned around listened to the band, Wyatt looking at the girls and Chris was watching to see if his fiancé, Bianca, to show up.
