A/N: Hey guys. Miss me? Did every one guess that Autumn is Darryl's daughter? I thought I made it pretty obvious but I wanted to make sure. Anyway here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 7: Escape
Autumn walked down the steps with Melinda on her hip. She was hesitant to take Melinda with them but she had her own force field which would protect her and the sisters, not to mention Chris. She approached the guards standing in front of the cell with a regal look about her. She barely looked into the cell, Piper was crying in Leo's arms and Paige and Phoebe seemed to be trying to find a way out. She turned from the cell and looked at the guards.
"Lord Wyatt wishes for me to interrogate these prisoners." She said daring the demon to argue with her.
"He didn't inform us of this." One demon said suspiciously.
"Are you saying that my husband has to inform you of his every move?" She asked her tone turning deadly.
"No, my lady."
He turned to open the cell. She stepped up to the door and then turned to face the guard.
"Leave us."
"But Lord Wyatt said..."
"To enrage me till I beat the tar out of you?" She said icily. The demon backed up knowing she could do what she threatened and there wasn't anything he could do about it.
"No, my lady."
He turned and ran down the hall as fast as he could go. Phoebe moved toward her and glared.
"Who are you?"
"I think you know, Phoebe. My name is Autumn Morris Halliwell."
Her voice had changed completely. It was now soft and caring. Piper looked up at her and noticed that she was the spitting image of Darryl.
"Are you Darryl's daughter?" Piper asked in shock.
"Yes, my mom gets pregnant about two months into your pregnancy with Chris." She explained quietly.
"So you're married to Wyatt?" Paige asked.
"Yes, I fell in love with him just as we were going into middle school. He wasn't always like this. If my dad knew I stayed with him..." She sighed. They then asked the question she had been dreading.
"Where is Darryl?"
"Chis told you about Wyatt killing you, yes? Well that very night Chris was supposed to have a birthday party. We came over early to help set up. The second we pulled up dad knew something was wrong, there was screams and loud bangs coming form the house, he told us to wait in the car and him and mom went inside. After a few minutes I got tired of waiting and went up to the door just in time to see dad kneeling over my mom and then Wyatt hitting him with an energy-ball."
Phoebe, Piper, Paige, and Leo all let the tears fall after her story. Finally Piper spoke up.
"Why did you marry him then?"
"Simple. I love him. Despite it all I still love him. But I can't let this happen, I can't let Melinda grow up in a world like this."
For the first time they noticed the little girl Autumn was carrying. Paige moved forward to see her little great-niece.
"She is adorable."
"Thanks but there's no time we have to get Chris and get you out of here. Come on." She led them out of the cell and up the stairs hoping it wasn't too late.
Wyatt slowly made his way to Chris' neck once again sinking his teeth into the boy's flesh. After licking the wound clean he captured Chris' lips again forcing the him to taste his own blood. Wyatt looked down at his brother's beautiful chest, he revealed only a few moments ago. Wyatt slowly made his way down to the waistband of Chris' jeans and began to pull on them when the door was blasted open. He jerked up and saw his mother, father, aunts, and to his surprise Autumn standing just inside the door. As he stared at his wife his face contorted with anger.
"You betrayed me?!" He screamed at her causing her to flinch.
"I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry. I couldn't let you do this." She said crying.
"You're sorry?! No. But you will be."
He said as he threw an energy-ball at her. Just before it connected a shield surrounded them all and repelled the energy-ball right back at Wyatt. He grunted as it hit him in the stomach and collapsed on the floor.
"Chris, get your ass over here." Autumn shouted.
He quickly got up off the bed and rushed to her side. She then turned to look at Melinda.
"Melinda, sweetie can you let down the shield for Mommy?" She said to her daughter.
Melinda pointed to the ceiling and it glowed blue for a few seconds then stopped.
"That's my girl."
Wyatt began to stir just as Leo gathered them all in his arms. Wyatt looked up in time to see them disappear in a swirl of orbs.
"That bitch will pay for this!" He said out loud as he summoned thirty demons to his side.
They reappeared inside P3. Piper looked around at the ruins unable to believe the club had became this.
"I'm sorry Piper but this was the only place I could think of where Wyatt wouldn't look for us." Autumn said in a sentimental voice knowing how much this club meant to Piper.
"It's ok. Chris are you ok?" She said putting an arm around him.
Instead of answering her he looked up at Autumn.
"Why did you do that?! He's going to kill you now, do you realize that?! He'll kill you and Melinda! How could you do this?!" He said getting more angry by the second.
"I couldn't let him do this Chris." She said calmly.
"What about Melinda? I can't lose my niece too!"
"He wouldn't kill his own daughter, would he?" Paige asked calmly.
"Have you been paying attention at all? He killed his own Mom. Why would he be concerned about his daughter?!" Chris shouted. He sighed then turned back to Paige. "I'm sorry, it's just..."
"Forget it. I understand." Paige said waving of the apology. Phoebe on the other hand turned to Piper.
"Ok, how do we get out of here?"
"Simple we write a spell to take us to the past."
"It would have to be cast at the manor." Chris said looking up.
"Why?" Piper said looking at him.
"Because that's the only place where magic is undetectable. Everywhere else casting a spell is a death-wish. Demons will be on you before you get the first line out." Chris explained.
"He's right. But Wyatt knows this so he'll probably be waiting on us there." Autumn said.
"Ok you guys get to work on that spell, I want to have a word with Chris alone." Leo said finally.
"Me?" Chris said shocked.
"Is there another Chris here?" Leo said laughing.
He walked in to the old store room and waited for Chris to follow.
A/N: I told you the rescue will be in this chapter. Any ideas what I should do with Autumn and Melinda. I got them into this situation and I have no idea how to get them out. HELP!!!!!!! R&R!
