Thank you everyone for reading! I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
The last chapter didn't have much action since it was about the vision, but there is a lot of action coming in the next few chapters.
Thank you and Beuty6 for the reviews! They are very much so appreciated.
Living Room
Prue was sprawled out on the couch reading a book. Andy walked in, smiling at the pregnant Charmed One. She was four months pregnant and her stomach was barely visible, but her cheeks had the typical pregnant glow.
"Keeping busy?" He pushed some dark hair out of her eyes.
"Andy, you wouldn't believe how bored I am" she sighed, putting the book down.
"We just want you safe" he smiled. Chris and Phoebe had just orbed back and were in the conservatory. He shifted his gaze towards them and Prue followed. "... And him".
"Andy, do you notice the pain in his eyes?" Prue asked, lifting her hand up to hold his. She noticed his crystal blue eyes soften.
"Prue, I don't think he would be coming to change his future if there wasn't a lot of pain". Andy's posture tightened. He had been wondering about his son's future as well. "But we can change it".
Prue nodded.
"I'm going to make a pot of decaf and then we're going to look through high school photos" he said, jumping up from the couch. "That won't be boring!"
Prue laughed before rubbing at her eyes. The morning sickness portion of pregnancy was finished thankfully. Now she was just exhausted most of the time. She closed her eyes for a moment to enjoy the quiet.
"Mommy?" A soft voice echoed throughout the room. Her brow quirked up. It certainly didn't sound like Wyatt. He was just over a year old and still could only manage to say "Mama" most of the time.
She opened her green eyes to see a young Chris around four years old. She knew it was her son right away.
Suddenly, a demon appeared behind him holding a fireball. His little green eyes widened.
"Daddy!" He shrieked as the demon sent the fireball directly at him. He orbed out of harm's way just in time.
"Chris!" Prue screamed, jumping off the couch. She tried to send the demon across the room but he didn't budge. He didn't even acknowledge her voice.
Conservatory
Chris and Phoebe turned when they heard Prue scream. The could see the Oldest Charmed One standing alone in the living room looking panicked.
"Mom?" Chris bolted towards the door.
Prue did not see her son and sister in the room beside her. She watched as young Chris orbed back into the room, looking terrified.
"Mommy, Daddy where are you?" His bottom lip trembled as the demon advanced closer to him.
"The boy has no parents around to save him" A sinister voice rang in Prue's head.
"Stay away from him!" Prue growled, running towards the demon. The demon continued to ignore her and ran towards Chris. The young boy ran towards the front door and began to run as fast as his little legs would take him.
Prue bit her lip as she watched her son run out the door. She didn't hesitate any longer and she followed the two of them out the door.
Chris and Phoebe watched in horror as Prue sped through the front door. Chris began to run towards it as well when suddenly a tall, dark frame appeared in front of him. He ran right into the man and pulled back to see who it was. A tall Wyatt Halliwell stood before him. His eyes widened in horror.
"You can't hurt her" Chris growled, pushing his cousin out of the way.
"Oh, but I can Chris" Wyatt grinned. "I know her weakness".
Andy entered the room to see his son paralyzed in fear. He could not see who Chris was talking to. He looked over to Phoebe who seemed just as confused as him.
He looked over to see that Prue was no longer on the couch and the front door was wide open. Piper appeared out of nowhere and ran out the door after Prue.
Andy tried to orb to Prue, but he didn't move either.
"You're powerless. You can't protect your family from the magical burden". A hateful tone could be heard in the mysterious voice.
The inspector shook his head, trying to regain his thoughts.
Chris watched as his cousin made his way towards the front door as well.
"She's your family" Chris' voice was desperate. "Wyatt, you know you can't do this".
"So I can't change the past, but you can?"
"I'm changing the past for good … not evil".
Piper's head whipped towards her nephew as she stood on the front step. Why is Chris talking about Wyatt being evil?
She couldn't see who he was speaking to either.
Barbas. She knew it had to be him somehow.
Phoebe was coming to the same realization as Piper too. He was targeting Prue, Andy and Chris only. Maybe his magic isn't strong enough for all of them yet.
She grabbed Chris' arm and pulled him towards her.
"Chris, you need to snap out of it! Prue's in danger!"
Piper ran from all of the questions she had about Chris and Wyatt and bolted towards Prue. She saw her sister sitting at the bottom of the steps looking defeated.
"Prue sweetie, you need to come inside" she whispered, taking a seat beside her sister. The eldest Charmed One was pale and out of breath.
"The demon shimmered away with Chris and I couldn't help … I was invisible" she sighed, raking a hand through her hair.
"Chris is in the Manor" Piper soothed, taking Prue's hand. "And I need you to be too".
Prue nodded. "I'm coming out of it".
Barbas' mental hold on her was disappearing. She stood up and pulled Piper up afterwards.
"Barbas?" She asked, looking around to see if anyone was around.
"Who else?" Piper shrugged, taking the steps two at a time but holding Prue's hand tightly the whole time.
Living Room
Chris took a deep sigh of relief as Prue came back through front door. Everyone made their way to the living room. Chris fell into one of the arm chairs and Phoebe took the other. Prue, Piper and Andy sat on the couch.
"We should call Paige and make sure he doesn't go after her" Piper suggested.
"I think he was only after them" Phoebe added. "But we should still call her".
"I think the bigger problem is that Barbas is back" Prue sighed. Only a few minutes before she had been thinking about how bored she was.
"And he may know about both of you". Andy tried to hide his emotion, but Prue could tell he was worried.
Backyard
"Dimitrius" Barbas hissed. A young man with spiky brown hair shimmered in beside Barbas.
"News?"
"Tell the Source it's true. He can send the Rigor demons". He nodded to the man who turned right away. He reached out and grabbed the demon's shirt before he shimmered away.
"And tell him that I have more information he will want to know, but that he needs to provide me with something in return".
The man seemed hesitant. He nodded back to the demon of fear and disappeared into a shimmer.
