9. A new threat, a new calling and new powers

A DARK PLACE

Voices could be heard. There was a violent discussion regarding a prophecy about two brothers.

"The child had been born." A male voice said. "The prophecy has been carried out with the boys of the eldest Charmed One!"

"What are we going to do?" another male asked.

"We'll need one of them to achieve our goal!" The female said determined.

"I know that!" The first male responded, a bit annoyed. "But his powers will not awaken until he's been blessed by his family." The other two nodded agreeing. "We'll wait until then."

With that they were gone without any other sign.


MANOR – THREE MONTHS LATER

The family felt happier with the new arrival. The little boy was never left alone, even Wyatt liked his baby brother immediately. What was weird , actually. They expected jealousy but obviously the older version of him had talked some sense into him.

The older boy watched over his brother like a hawk. Noone was allowed to go near by, except his parents. Chris needed his mother and father like himself. Wyatt felt the need to protect his little brother, although they had the same amount of power. All were already in him, but not awaken and so Chris needed his big brother around him. With his forcefield he could protect both of them.

Piper and Leo could never be prouder of their boys. They had seen a different future once, however still feared for them. Evil was still out there and both Wyatt and Chris were easy targets. The older boy's protectiveness was a good sign.

The mother had to go back to her work, but she couldn't. Her three men needed her the most, the little ones and the big one. Everytime the wife looked at her husband he sat with his boys on the floor, kissing them. Piper missed her adult children though, but she had to concentrate on her little boys – to raise them like she did in another timeline. She sniffled a bit and concentrated again on the task at hand.

Leo on the other hand sat down everytime with his boys. He kissed them on their foreheads, especially his youngest. Both Wyatt and Chris had made some sacrifices for a new future. What had shaken him to the core was that his former mentor had tried to kill his children. Both of them. He couldn't trust the Elders anymore and refused to go 'Up there' violently. His sons were Leo's only matter at the moment.

Phoebe watched the family with some saddened eyes. She already missed her neurotic whitelighter along with his older brother who hopefully now lived in a better future. Watching how Wyatt protected his little brother, even though against her and her baby sister she couldn't help but smile. One week the younger Charmed Ones worked on Wyatt to go and spoil little Chris again.

Paige had almost the same thoughts like her older sister. Missing her whitelighter and watching Wyatt how he protected his little brother made her smile. She couldn't help but think about the fate of Magic School, now with Gideon is possible dead. The work on Wyatt with Phoebe brought her back to reality.

Out of nowhere the youngest sister said, "I'll go to check out Magic School. Now with Gid..." She stopped. Looking carefully at her brother-in-law. "I'll come back as soon as I can." With that she was gone.

The family was shocked for a moment, but let her go. Loving magic Paige could only find her way in Magic School.


MAGIC SCHOOL

As Paige orbed in she saw most teachers and pupils were packing books and more in boxes. The youngest sister thought why they were doing this, even though nobody knew about Gideon's fate after he'd attacked Piper and her baby.

"Mrs Winterbourne, what's going on here?"

"Paige," the teacher looked up, "the Elders are closing the school. We don't know anything, still. Do you know something?"

Paige shook her head. "Neither does my family. Why are they closing this school? What about the pupils and new generations?"

"We really don't know, Paige!" Mrs Winterbourne sighed. "The Elders are very quiet at the moment. They're fearing something or someone!"

The youngest Charmed One looked around. Taking all in and suddenly she made her decision. "I'll fight for this school. The pupils and my nephews need a place for practising their powers."

The teacher frowned a bit, but silently agreed smiling. Paige would be a great help. Both women talked a while and contacted the Elders, mainly Odin and the others, to arrange a meeting about the school's fate for the next day.


SHORT CUT TO THE MANOR

Paige came back very late. Phoebe was already sleeping, still thinking about a time-out at work. But somehow the little sister could not imagine her older sister doing it. Her thoughts drifted to her oldest sister and brother-in-law. Slowly she passed by their room to see Leo with baby Christopher in his lap and Piper with Wyatt. The other timeline had shown a different picture, even if it was only short-lived. She smiled as she peacefully dozed off.


BACK TO MAGIC SCHOOL

Her new destiny had given Paige an early call. She was so nervous that she couldn't eat anything at home what made Leo smile after three long months. That made the whole family smile, especially Piper and the boys giggled. Leo's lips now showed his beautiful smile.

As she now stood in front of the Elders Paige had thought back to that happy moment. The Elders were so hard to persuade, so the youngest sister growled from time to time.

"The next generation needs a place to train their powers. These children are our future. They need this place!"

Odin, Sandra and the others listened to Paige carefully. Her arguments were well chosen.

"Do you think someone like you would be able to lead them? After all you're only a few years older than them!" Odin said casually.

"What are you saying? I should lead Magic School?" Paige asked confused.

Odin, Sandra and all Elders confirmed with a nod. The pupils behind the Charmed One laughed, but after a frightened glare from her they stopped. They knew she meant business, after all she was a Charmed One.

Paige looked around. She had found a new destination in her life and she could pass her knowledge on. Especially her little nephews. Thinking of them she had to go back to the Manor. Her work started tomorrow.


MANOR

Piper took care of her boys when Leo slowly became himself again. The four of them were sitting at the kitchen table eating. Well, the boys wore more of them. They looked so cute. Little Christopher tried to reach his older brother's hand, but couldn't. His highchair didn't allow that. So slowly Wyatt went to his little brother.

Phoebe sat in her room. She was still fighting with herself about what to do. The last year was so hectic, naturally thanks to their whitelighter who was now a baby. The boys would need some advices later when they reached that age. Piper would freak out. The decision made she ran to the kitchen to tell her sisters that.

Paige also came into the kitchen. Her work as a teacher and headmaster started today. That meant a lot of coffee for her brain. She saw at first how the boys' hands touched.

Suddenly a power force was being felt. All looked at them shocked. Piper reached for her sisters' hands as well as Leo's. The three looked at him with concerned faces what was on his face, too.

"I'll go up there," Leo said suddenly.

"Be back soon, better as fast as possible!" His wife yelled after him.

The three sisters were concerned while the boys gazed at them innocently. They broke their touch while the power force ebbed away.

"What was that?" Paige asked.

"We'll wait for Leo!" Piper replied taking hold of her boys, with one at each hand.


A DARK PLACE

"Time is near!" a male voice said.

"The powers are immense!" the female continued.

"Only a few weeks. Only a few weeks we'll have to wait!" the first male responded.

"Our aim will be the younger of the two!" the male continued again. The others nodded.


UP THERE

Leo orbed in. The Elder watched his colleagues run around like frightened chicken. Obviously they had felt it like every other magical person. So he asked straightaway, "What's going on? What's with my boys?"

Odin noticed him. "Actually it's your younger son's fault. He had changed his destiny along with the timeline." Leo wanted to say something but he continued anyway. "Shortly after he had come back to the past and made you an Elder, we found a new prophecy about two Twice-Blessed brothers. Yes, Leo, Chris is twice-blessed, too."

With a wave of his hand Odin sent Leo back to the Manor.


UNDERWORLD

"Did you guys feel that?" a demon questioned.

"Yes," a warlock hissed back. "Damn prophecy and damn Halliwell's. It's their fault, more a son from the future."

Some demons looked at him confused. A darklighter voiced their thoughts, "What are you talking about? Why the Halliwell's?"

The man-in-question replied angrily, "Later, guys. We'll need Zankou to get the upper hand in this never ending fight!"

"Why Zankou? He's been captured since forever!"

"That's why. He's the brain and he had lived with the original Source. But we'll wait for our time!"

The warlock and his conspirators nodded. The scene went black.


MANOR

As Leo reformed in the Manor he was greeted with three sorrowful faces. His first gaze however went to his sons who looked at him with shining eyes and smiles. Through his mind raced many different scenarios, but his wife's call brought him back to reality.

"Leo, what did they say?" Piper asked.

The father gazed at her long, "Both Wyatt and Chris are twice-blessed. Chris had made sure of it and there's a new prophecy about them."

Three mouths hung open. The women couldn't say anything. Piper reacted at first, "Are they both in danger now?" Her husband embraced her and together they picked up their children to put them in bed.

The next days were so hectic for the family. They prepared all for Chris like they had already done nearly two years ago. During this time Leo showed his boys the house and their eyes shined with happiness. Wyatt remained at Chris' side everytime.

Sharing a room together the boys' bond grew stronger and stronger. The younger boy called for his parents' attention late at night and sometimes they reacted and sometimes not. So Wyatt took care of his little brother and raised his forcefield around both of them if Chris'd have a nightmare again.


THE NIGHT BEFORE

Little Chris tossed and turned in his crib. His dreams didn't let him sleep and he cried softly to get his older brother's attention. The boy whimpered what finally woke Wyatt up. Big green eyes searched for the familiar blue ones and a tiny little hand was seen.

Wyatt automatically reached for it. His blue eyes gazed into the green ones of his little brother. The older boy took the little man out of his crib and laid him in his bed to sleep together like always. As he touched Chris now he saw something what would be his worst nightmare ever.

WYATT'S DREAM

The blond boy found himself beside his brunette brother. The older brother held Chris' hand tightly. However the younger boy's eyes were focused on strange men who wore black. They talked weird in Wyatt's opinion.

Somehow Chris distanced himself from his older brother. The tiny hand went out of Wyatt's grasp and Chris slowly walked to them.

"Chris, no come back! I need you!" Wyatt cried out. The green eyes who had always looked at him in awe slowly changed.

Time had sped up and the brothers saw each other as adults again. They looked the same as before, so the only difference was: Chris wore black while Wyatt had on normal clothes.

"Join us!" Chris said. "Join the power beyond good and evil!"

The blond man shook his head. "Never Chris. You've never thought this way before!"

The younger man spoke again, "The Avatars have all we always wanted!"

Once again the older man shook his head, but Chris led his powers out to kill his own older brother.

END OF DREAM

Wyatt gasped awakening. This dream or better nightmare was horrible. It seemed to be the opposite from the other timeline. What Wyatt didn't let sleep what was this kind of power? His or his little brother? More likely Chris', because he was half Elder.

Wyatt wouldn't let this dream come true. His instincts told him to be careful tomorrow. The younger boy would get his blessing with the whole family. Anyway, he intensified their sibling bond what let his little brother relax and fall asleep. In the next few minutes the older boy slept, too, but the pictures kept in his mind.

TBC ...
