Chapter Two

"Chris." Alyssa said. Chris opened his eyes. He realized who it was and he was embarrassed to see that Alyssa found him.

"Alyssa. I was just watching the sunrise. I guess I feel asleep." Chris lied.

"Oh..." Alyssa said.

"So, I take it you and Wyatt are out on a walk?" Chris asked.

"Yeah... do you want to come with us?" Alyssa asked.

"I don't think so... Wyatt might put up his forcefield and we don't want that happening." Chris said.

"I'll deal with Wyatt." Alyssa said. Chris saw Wyatt looking at him. He knew that look. Wyatt wasn't going to let him get close to Alyssa. Chris looked at Alyssa.

"I have to go they are calling." Chris lied. He turned and found a place where he could orb out with out anyone seeing him. Alyssa moved Wyatt walker so she could sit on the bench.

"Wyatt is it me or is Chris avoiding me?" Alyssa said looking at Wyatt. Wyatt jus t looked back at her. Suddenly a fireball came whizzing by Alyssa head. Alyssa immediately got up and started pushing Wyatt's walker. There were at least a dozen fireballs heading her way. Alyssa was able to dodge every one of them. The last batch of fireball missed her except for one. The fireball hit her shoulder and burned her bad. She didn't scream out in pain. She turned around to face the demon. This demon didn't look good at all.

"So, you are defenseless. Hand over the boy." The demon said.

"Never." Alyssa said.

"So be it." The demon said, throwing a fireball at Alyssa and Wyatt. Alyssa redirected the fireball back to the demon who wasn't expecting it. He yelled in pain as he exploded.

"Wyatt, I think we better get home so I can look in the Book of Shadow to see who that was." Alyssa said. Before she knew it they were back in the Manor. Alyssa went upstairs and put Wyatt in the playpen. Then she went into the attic to look at the Book of Shadows. Her shoulder was hurting bad.

"Chris." Alyssa said. After a few moments Chris appeared. Chris looked at Alyssa and saw the injury. He moved to her side and healed it. Alyssa let Chris heal it. She wanted to know it he was avoiding her

"Are you okay?" Chris asked.

"Yes, a demon was after Wyatt." Alyssa said.

"Do you know who?" Chris asked.

"It was a Xenthos demon." Alyssa said not even looking at the book. She remembered reading that in the book last night.

"Okay, don't you think we should let Piper, Phoebe, and Paige know about the demon going after Wyatt?" Chris asked.

"After you answer my question." Alyssa said.

"What question?" Chris asked.

"Are you avoiding me?" Alyssa asked.

"No, Wyatt doesn't like me and if I get near him he will put his forcefield up." Chris said.

"I'll go get Wyatt and see if this is the problem is." Alyssa said, she left the room and went to get Wyatt. As soon as Wyatt saw that Chris was in the room he put his forcefield up.

"Wyatt put the forcefield down." Alyssa said. Wyatt was watching Chris and wasn't paying attention to Alyssa words. Chris looked at Wyatt then at Alyssa after that he orbed out. Wyatt let his forcefield down. Alyssa looked at Wyatt.

"Wyatt, why are you giving Chris a hard time? Do you still think he's bad?" Alyssa asked looking at Wyatt. But getting no answer. Alyssa put Wyatt back in the playpen after moving it to the kitchen. She grabbed the portable phone and the baby monitor to keep listening to Wyatt if anything was wrong. She could get there in a hurry. She went down to the basement. She had a feeling that Chris didn't have a place to sleep let alone his own clothes to wear. She noticed that he was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. The basement was large enough for a bed. Alyssa was going to set Chris down here until she can find him better accommodation. Alyssa started to clean. She got a mattress down there and got it ready to be sleep on. The phone at her hip started to ring. She picked it up on the second ring, so not to wake Wyatt.

"Hello the Halliwell resident. This is Alyssa speaking how may I help you?" Alyssa asked. Not knowing who was on the other end of the line.

"Hello Miss Winters this is Evan McCoy with Wrinkle Attorney. We are contacting you because your father died and left a will. Will you be able to make it to the Will reading at 3:30 pm." Mr. McCoy asked. Alyssa looked at her watched and saw that is was 3:15pm.

"Where are you guys located?" Alyssa asked. They told her the direction. As soon as Alyssa was off the phone she woke Wyatt from his nap and got to the Will reading at record speed.
