Chapter 5

"Piper?!" Leo shouted.

"Piper?!" Phoebe and Paige shouted

"In Wyatt's room," I shouted.

I sat on the rocking chair with Wyatt in my lap. I had not let him go since I got back to the Manor.

"Thank God," Paige said walking into the room with Leo and Phoebe.

"Are you okay?" Leo asked.

"I'm fine," I said. "I have Wyatt where he needs to be. Where he is safe."

Leo nodded his head.

"Where's Chris?" I asked.

"Right here," Chris said, walking into the room.

I smiled at him. "What about Gideon? What are we going to do about him?"

"I'm going to the Elders right now," Leo said. "I'm going to talk to them about this. Do not leave Wyatt alone."

"God, no. I'm not stupid, Leo!"

"I know you're not, baby. I just needed to say it."

I nodded my head.

"I'll be back," Leo said. He orbed out.

I sighed as he did.

"May I?" Phoebe asked holding her arms out.

I nodded my head. I handed Wyatt over to her. Phoebe took him and gave him a hug. "We won't let that mean old man near you, Wyatt," She said. "No, we won't."

"Chris, why didn't you tell us you knew who turned Wyatt evil?" I asked.

"I wanted to be sure," Chris said. "I needed to be sure. I guess I got my answer today."

"We all did," Paige said. "Now it's up to us to make sure Wyatt stays safe and away from Gideon."

"I wonder what the Elders will do." Phoebe said.

"Well, many of them will definitely have something to say about me and Leo," I replied. "There are quite a few of them who didn't want Leo and me to get married."

"Who cares what Elders think," Paige said. "We only know what they want to do about Gideon."

"Something is going to be done. I will not let my son out of my sight."

I quickly stood up from the rocking chair. I grabbed Wyatt from Phoebe and left the room. I actually ripped him from her arms. I left the room and went to my own.

Meanwhile on the Golden Gate Bridge, Leo stood with all the Elders, Gideon included. The Elders had called him from Magic School and he went. He did not deny a call from the other Elders.

"Gideon wants my son dead and he admits it," Leo said.

All the Elders looked at Gideon. "Wyatt is too powerful, Leo. Take a look at Chris, your son from the future. He is just a simple witch and Whitelighter and like Paige is. Wyatt is too powerful…"

"You already said that and I know my son is powerful. He will raised in white magic, good magic. His mother and aunts, the Charmed Ones will make sure he is influenced by good magic. I am good! I will make sure my son uses his magic for good, not for evil!"

"How do you plan on doing that?" Odin, an Elder asked. "You are an Elder."

"I told you yesterday, I am not embracing myself as an Elder. I am staying at home with my wife and son where I belong. Besides being an Elder is what makes Chris hate me so much in the future anyway. I will give everything up, my powers if I have to. I just want to make sure my son is safe."

The Elders all exchanged looks. They looked at Gideon. "We are in a jam here," Sandra said.

"What do we do with you Gideon?" Zola asked.

"Keep him away from me and my family," Leo said.

Gideon shook his head. "Oh, Leo, I can't do that. I can't let your son live. In fact, you might be a little too late."

"What do you mean I might be too late?"

LEO!

"Piper," Leo said. Leo quickly orbed out.

Meanwhile at the Manor, we were being attacked by demons, warlocks, and Darklighters.

"What the hell do we do?" Paige asked we all hid together.

"Come on out, witches," A demon said.

"Or just let us have the child and all this can be over," A Darklighter said.

"I would rather die," I shouted. "LEO!"

"I don't think that was a great idea," Phoebe said. "There are Darklighters…"

"Piper," Leo said as he orbed in right where me and my sisters were hiding, which was down-stairs.

"Darklighters," I said.

"Shit," Leo said as an arrow flew past him. He quickly took my hand. I had Wyatt in one of my arms. "To the attic," He said.

Leo orbed us up to the attic. Paige orbed herself and Phoebe up to the attic. Chris orbed up to the attic too.

"Quick we need a plan," Phoebe said.

"How many Darklighters?" Leo asked.

"Just two," I said. "There are also two warlocks and two demons."

"Did you try blowing them up?"

"No, I was thinking about Wyatt."

"Come on out, Piper and Leo," Gideon shouted.

"Oh, hell no," I said.

"Shh," Leo said.

"Just give Wyatt to me and nothing bad will happen to you," Gideon shouted. "No harm will come to you, your sisters, or Chris. I just want Wyatt."

"What do we do?" Paige asked.

"I'm not giving my son over to him," I said.

"No duh," Phoebe said.

"I have an idea," Leo said. "But it requires me to kill Gideon."

We all looked at each other.

"Let me take Wyatt," Chris said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Let me take Wyatt to him and see what he wants to do. Trust me, I don't let anything bad happen to him, Mom. This is my older brother. I want to save him."

"Okay."

Chris took Wyatt from me. Chris walked out of the attic and down-stairs to the second floor of the house. He saw Gideon.

"That's a good boy, Chris," Gideon said.

"Where are the demons, warlocks and Darklighters?" Chris asked.

"They are down-stairs."

"Paige, orb me down-stairs," I said. "I'm going to blow them all up. Then you are going to get a Darklighter's arrow. Leo, you get Gideon."

We all sprang into action. Paige orbed Phoebe and me down-stairs. Leo orbed to the second floor. We executed our plans with no troubles. I blew up the demons and warlocks. Paige and Phoebe got rid of the Darklighters by shooting arrows at them. Once they were gone. I ran up-stairs. I heard screaming. I knew Leo was using his powers on Gideon.

By the time I got up-stairs, Gideon was dead and Leo had Wyatt in his arms.

I went to walk past Gideon's lifeless body to get to Leo, Wyatt and Chris, but he grabbed hold of me and was on his feet. Gideon had a tight hold on me.

"Surprised?" Gideon said.

"Let her go, Gideon," Leo said. "This is between you and me."

"I think not, Leo. This whole thing started when Piper came along."

"Is this what this is all about?!" I said. "About me?"

"Yes," Gideon said. "You and Leo never should have married. You two should have learned from Patty and Sam."

"You supported me and Piper to get married. Why did you?"

"Because I'm a stupid Elder, who thought his student would have followed the rules instead of marrying a witch. Now you have a choice, Leo. Either you choose Piper and give Wyatt to me or I kill Piper and you lose the love of your life."

"How about neither," Phoebe said. She levitated and kicked Gideon in the face. That got him to let me go. I quickly ran away from him and over to my husband and sons. I saw lightning shoot from Leo's hands then. Gideon started screaming. Leo made sure Gideon was good and dead before he stopped.

Once he knew Gideon was dead. Leo collapsed to the ground. He was crying suddenly. I got down on the ground with him. We all did—Chris holding Wyatt, Phoebe, and Paige.

I held Leo in my arms as he cried. He had had to kill his mentor and trusted friend. He had been betrayed by Gideon, we all had.
