14. Deals, friends and brothers

UNDERWORLD

Zankou paced in a big cave with his followers. The Avatars had given him an order, but he wanted to do that. The demon was thinking and walked through some near caves as well about how to attack the eldest child of Piper. He'd heard about a demon who gained trust of children and made them evil in process. He smiled. That would be a good attempt.

Before he was prisoned there were rumors about three great witches of the Warren line. It seemed they had been born and obviously the next generation was as powerful as the Charmed Ones. He knew the house was built above a spiritual Nexus who can confirm both good and evil. It only depended on who had the power of the house. This was Zankou's second option.

But first the child. The boy was twice-blessed and he should give this special demon a bit of time. Zankou can wait. He had this ability what his followers didn't . "Be patient. Time is on our side." His followers growled. "It's time for our first attempt." With a wave of his hand he called Vicus.

"What do you want?" the man shouted. "I don't have time for you. I look for my next victim!"

"In this case I can help. Ever heard of the Twice-Blessed child? He's the son of a Charmed One," Zankou spoke with a winning smile.

Vicus'eyes lightened up."I'm all ears.What do you get,Zankou?"

"That's not your concern, my friend. You'll have the child and turn him evil. I'm going to give you enough time. Deal?" The man held out his hand for accepting.

Vicus looked at him. "OK, deal. Thanks for the time. I'm going to need it. You want to become the next Source, don't you?"

"As I said before. I have my plans and you got yours," Zankou answered. "Go!"

Vicus disappeared. One of his closest followers stepped forward. "Why didn't you tell him about the younger boy? Is that power force everyone feared."

"I'm fully aware of that. The boys will play with him, I'm sure. But that gives me enough time to work on the Nexus."

Zankou evilly smiled. His companions smiled, too and would follow their leader till the end.

THREE WEEKS LATER

At the Manor everything seemed to be normal. Phoebe went to her work at the Bay Mirror, but anytime when she got complaints she wanted to finish her study. These lawyers worked on her nerves and that's why she needed a finished study at university. Another decision she made and her family to accept it.

One morning the middle sister told the family her decision to go to university. "I want to study again. So noone can ever rewrite what I wrote," she said matter-of-factly.

"Did something happen we don't know about?" Paige asked ever so happily.

"It did, " Phoebe confirmed. "But Elise helped me. So it was just peanuts."

"Speaking of peanut?" Piper interrupted. "Where's Chris?"

"Here," Leo came in holding his son over his head. The boy giggled happily.

As his father put him down Chris looked ever so sadly to his older brother. Wyatt had started preschool two weeks earlier and from day to day he started to be different somehow. The little brother felt it but couldn't tell anyone. That meant using his own powers. Green eyes searched for blue ones, found them and both locked.

Blue eyes locked with green ones, but shortly after the older boy had to break contact. Wyatt felt miserable. He never hid anything from his little brother, because they shared all, even his Wuvey. The bear meant the world to him. So did his little brother. But of one thing Wyatt was sure Chris'd figure out. After all he was smarter than him what he had proven more than once.

In the last time someone spoke with him. The friend named Vicus told him things he wanted to believe and the man tried to convince him to give him his Wuvey. But that was not an option for Wyatt – at this time. Maybe later this week. The blond boy was pulled out off his thoughts as his mother, father and brother brought him to the kindergarten and returned home.

His father met with Paige who led Magic School and he helped her. The man was fond of this work, liked it even, because here he could teach his boys and later on grandchildren about their lives as witches, whitelighter and may be an Elder. This last thought made him smile. He was interrupted as Paige called him to work, help and take off some weight of her shoulders. Something he should have done with adult Chris. The whitelighter sighed and went over to Paige. He looked forward to being at home again with his sons.

Piper meanwhile had taken care of her little boy and took him with her to the club P3. There she busied him with toys while she had to look through her papers. But her mind couldn't focus. Everytime she watched her youngest son the eldest sister was reminded of the strange behavior of her eldest boy. Wyatt always shared everything with Chris, but now he acted cold as if he were talking to someone else. Some little sobs caught her attention back to her surroundings.

Chris was lifted up by his mother and wrapped his arms around her neck what his mother returned by kissing him. The little boy drifted into his afternoon nap while his mind worked on his older brother and a way to get out off this mess.

A NORMAL DAY AT THE HALLIWELL'S

Back at the Manor the boys were put in their room with an invisible Vicus. The demon smiled as the mother left the room to call her sisters and husband to discuss Wyatt's behavior.

Paige orbed while Leo brought Phoebe with him who protested but stopped as she saw Piper's face. Both younger Charmed Ones looked worried at her while Leo embraced her tightly.

"What's the matter, honey?" he asked. "Something wrong?"

His wife nodded. "I spent the day with Chris and he had also sorrows. I think he thought about Wyatt with his little mind and I have to say I agree with him."

"What are you saying?" Paige requested. "Someone's trying to turn Wyatt?"

Her older sister nodded. "But how?" Phoebe asked.

"Well, that's the big question," Piper sighed but she felt her husband's arms around her. And suddenly she got an idea and she stood up abruptly startling Leo, Phoebe and Paige.

"What are you doing?" Phoebe questioned.

"Trying to find out what's going on!" was the answer all got.

Piper wrote a spell to understand her son. The others looked at her strangely as she recited a spell to ... Whatever she did it worked as strange white lights were shining to indicate an arrival.

FUTURE

In an apartment two young men were sitting on a couch side by side in a serious mood what didn't last long. A short moment later you could only see blond and brown hair mixing. The men laughed happily as they were acting like kids again when suddenly a white light engulfed Wyatt. The older man reacted immediately and laid one hand on his younger brother, so that both of them were transported to wherever they were summoned.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

The family gasped as the white lights were gone and the boys were seen.

"Wyatt, Chris, why are you here?" Leo asked.

"You tell us!" Chris replied. "You summoned us!" He crossed his arms angrily over his chest.

"I only wanted to understand little Wyatt and his lately strangely behavior towards his little brother," Piper told her boys.

The brothers looked at each other briefly, but when Wyatt started to respond all were distracted by a scream coming from upstairs. The boys' room. All linked hands and orbed there.

BOYS' ROOM

For twenty minutes Vicus tried to persuade the little boy but he was strong. Surely his brother was a great help for Wyatt, but this would end soon.

Wyatt looked at the man and moved his bear to him. The demon laughed but in the next second Chris orbed over and blinked once and Vicus was visible.

"How's that possible?" he asked. The boys smiled at each other. Vicus gazed at them but with hate at the younger boy. He took him out off his crib what the little boy returned with screaming.

This scream caused his parents, aunts and other versions of them to orb in as well as Wyatt look at Vicus with hate.

Vicus' gaze wandered around. He saw the family and smirked holding the little boy tightly. "You want him? Sorry guys, too late!"

Chris turned into orbs as Vicus held him high and wanted to smash him onto the floor. The family was stiff, except Wyatt – both of them. They glared at Vicus who threw the orbs to the floor. Nobody reacted, only Wyatt who blinked and vanquished Vicus.

The tiny orbs caught another one. The adult Chris. Both adult brothers breathed relieved while little Chris cried heavily. Little Wyatt walked over and took his little brother in his arms to calm him down. He cried with him because it was his fault Chris had been in a critical condition.

The adult boys watched the little ones with worry but little Wyatt's work seemed to have an effect on Chris. So they freed the rest members out of their catatonic state.

"What happened? Is Chris safe?" Piper asked immediately. Leo was worried as well. Phoebe and Paige feared for Chris.

"They are safe," Wyatt said. "Little me is taking care of him. Both are crying, but it's slowing down. Give them time!"

"Mom, Dad, you should talk with them," Chris retorted at once. "It seems Wyatt's blaming himself for it!"

Piper and Leo nodded before walking over to their boys. That was the sign for the others to leave the room.

The boys had calmed down a bit as their parents came over to pick them up. They made shushing voices and the boys sobbed quietly from time to time.

"Wyatt, what happened?" Leo asked quietly his eldest while his wife held the youngest boy close to her chest.

The blond boy looked away. "It's my fault, " he repeated over and over again. "It's my fault my little brother nearly died!"

The parents gasped. Piper reached over to stroke Wyatt's cheek. "Was it a demon why you acted so strangely lately?" Her son nodded and looked over to Chris.

The blond boy went out of his father's hold and walked to his little brother to ask for forgiveness. "I'm sorry, Chris. I promise this would never happen again," he whispered. The answer he accomplished was tiny arms around his neck.

The parents stroked through their hair to get them sleep. A few minutes later their little sunshines were sleeping in one bed peacefully while Leo and Piper silently left the room to catch up with the others.

LIVING ROOM

Phoebe and Paige sat opposite Wyatt and Chris and tried to let them talk, but they refused vehemently. The sisters and brothers sighed at the same time. All looked up as Piper and Leo came downstairs.

"Everything OK? With us?" the boys asked with one mouth.

"Yes, you're sleeping now," Piper answered. "I mean little you. That's weird." Her sons chuckled. Phoebe, Paige and Leo also did.

"Mom, send us home," Wyatt pleaded. "We're no longer needed." His brother nodded.

With a heavy heart all hugged the brothers and the mother spoke the return spell. Her boys vanished with a smile waving good-bye. The Halliwell's greeted back with kissing hands.

Not sooner the boys were gone a light went out off Leo. His whitelighter powers left him. The mission to save his boys has succeeded. The man smiled as his wife hugged him. Finally he was a mortal and could live with his family until the end. Phoebe and Paige smiled as well. Now the family can grew old.

Little did they know that there were big threats and dangers coming soon.
