First a thank you to my reviewers:

harryandjamesluvr - I'm not sure how to explain the two time line memory other than because of events in the first and fourth episodes of this series (The Magic Is Back and Chris Perry's Favorite Relative) he remembers everything of both. The young man who grew up in this time line is in control, but he knows everything about what he was like in the other and sometimes he has feelings related to what happened there, especially when it comes to people he only knows from the other time line. If you haven't already, I would suggest reading those two episodes. Hopefully that will explain it for you.

TaintedDarkInuShemeeko - Yeah, I probably did say something before. I tend to repeat things. When I look at each character I see who they are, who they will be, and sometimes how they will end. I am not someone who kills off a character lightly, but I do have characters who will die.

Anym. - Unfortunately I didn't around to updating as fast as you were ready for. I do enjoy putting in info from the other time line and I love making Chris squirm. And some of the things he knows about some of the people from the other time line (such as these two) would very much make him squirm if he ever let those events become foremost on his mind. Right now, of course, he's more focused on the fact that in the other time line both Brian and Genevieve died because of their friendship with him.

lizardmomma - Always best to have a cover story that is the truth. Fortunately for him, he had heard his boss mention her dad.

And now for the next chapter. I'd say enjoy . . . but you'll see why I don't. How about, be prepared to be stunned.


Chapter Four – Left For Dead

Wyatt paused his step as above him lights flickered. Since the time that the phone lines went down so had the elevators and it appeared that the lights would soon be joining them.

And all the while the feeling of someone watching him hadn't left him.

He'd toyed with the idea of orbing somewhere, but decided if something demonic was about he couldn't leave his co-workers to fend for themselves. He was going to hope that his dad got his message and investigated when he couldn't call Wyatt back.

A whoosh was all the warning he got before an arrow whizzed over his head. Wyatt raised his shield even as he spun around.

There was nothing there.

That arrow came from somewhere, he thought as he tried to find something. He felt a tug on the back of his shirt as if something short wanted his attention or something tiny was climbing his back.

Either way something had gotten past his shield or had been in it when he raised it. When he swiped at his back he felt something sharp stab into his hand. He screamed and flung his hand around. He heard a thud as something hit the wall, but still he saw nothing and he still felt something tugging at his shirt and he saw a small dagger protruding from his hand.

Wyatt tried to ignore the pain and swiped at his back, again. This time something stabbed deep into his lower back not far from his spinal cord.

He couldn't ignore the pain and a scream slipped from his lips as he stumbled against the wall and his shield dropped. He felt himself bombarded by sharp objects that appeared to be invisible until they hit him, until they dug deep into his skin.

The sound of running pierced his ears and suddenly the bombardment stopped. No longer able to hold on, Wyatt slipped into unconsciousness and the lights flicked off.


*Evil Grin*. So this was no my idea. It just kind of happened. And if you want to find out what happens next I want at least six reviews. This story has been averaging four prior to a new chapter being posted, so I don't think that's an unreasonable request. And if you take a while, that just gives me more time to work on the next two episodes. One has five completed chapters. The other has about three completed chapters and a full outline.

Oh, and anyone who reads "Imaginary Fiends (and Real Friends)" I will be posting a new chapter of that this weekend, probably tomorrow afternoon. If not tomorrow night.

And anyone who wants to know what happened more quickly, check out my site. It's all there.

UPDATE: I'm still waiting for two more reviews. I am quite ready to update as soon as I have them. Meanwhile I am seven chapters into the next episode.

UPDATE: Waiting for just one more review. I've been pretty busy with other Charmed things, but I did send chapter eight of the next episode off to my beta.

UPDATE: Yeah! Six reviews! Now to get that next chapter posted.
