"Chris, please. You know this isn't right." Phoebe pleaded.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Phoebe. I don't know where the girls are, but I have seen them and they're safe." Chris tried to offer some reassurance.

"For now." Wyatt added, "You keep trying my patience and they might not be."

"Ladybug, please. Come to mama." Phoebe asked, stretching her arms out towards her daughter.

P.J. glared at her mother, "No you left us! You left us alone for weeks! Till Wyatt and Chris came."

"I know sweetheart I'm so sorry. Your dad and I were having to fight demon after demon. We were barely able to get a little rest from the mass of demon attacks."

"Come now, Aunt Phoebe. Don't lie to her." Wyatt taunted.

"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked.

"Can you really look into your daughter's eyes and tell her you couldn't beam out and back to her and her sisters. Sure you may have been fighting demons but even you claim you fought for downtime. You really expect her to believe you couldn't get Uncle Coop to beam the two of you back home at any time."

Phoebe couldn't deny what he was saying. "I'm sorry, sweetheart."

"We were almost out of food by the time Wyatt and Chris showed. He promised we would never want for anything and would keep us safe. He, unlike you, has kept that promise."

"Ladybug please listen to me."

"No, my only loyalty is to Wyatt."

Phoebe then threw some kind of potion at Wyatt that did nothing but upset him.

Wyatt laughed, "Did you really think it would be that easy?"

It was clear Phoebe had expected it to work. Angry at this, Wyatt started to force choke her in the air.

"Wy, please stop.'" Chris begged.

"I told you not to call me that. It's not proper for a king to be addressed so informally."

"Wyatt, please let her go." Chris tried again.

At that he let go and allowed her to hit the ground. After recovering she pulled out a dagger. "I'm sorry, I didn't want it to come to this." She said in a low voice before charging at him.

"Phoebe NO, don't!" Leo yelled.

Suddenly one of Wyatt's demon bodyguards flamed in, stabbing her before she even got close to Wyatt and then he flamed out with her.

"Poor mom, but I don't believe it, I can't believe I would witness mom's death. But I don't understand, I saw what happened. I'd never kill Aunt Paige. I don't believe it. Where are my sisters?" PJ asked, trying to rationalize what she had just seen. She couldn't believe any of it, but she had seen it, and she couldn't make sense of any of it.

Penny was very interested in seeing Phoebe's other children. She hoped they weren't about to see their deaths too.

"Where are they Chris? I know you know where my sister's are!" PJ shouted.

"I don't know, but even if I did I'd never tell you!" Chris responded just as angrily.

"You're working with the rebels against Lord Wyatt." she accused.

"I'm not, but even if I was, you being brainwashed into thinking Wyatt is the only one who matters in this world is the reason I wouldn't tell you. I wouldn't want them to become cold-blooded monsters like you!"

"How dare you! Where are they?" PJ demanded.

"Fine, the report states that someone matching Uncle Coop's description was the one who kidnapped them." Chris said, using the information to convince her that what she was doing was wrong.

"No way, dad would have called for me by now if he had." PJ said, not feeling as confident as she sounded.

"Everyone knows by now you killed Aunt Paige and Henry Jr., and that Wyatt is very proud of you. You're one of his favorites, his new assassin. There's no way Uncle Coop would come for you now. He'd never risk your turning on him or your sisters."

She pulled out the same dagger Phoebe had and lunged towards Chris only to have her arm grabbed by someone. P.J. looked up, "Who are you?"

"My name's Bianca. I'm a phoenix assassin. Lord Wyatt sensed a disturbance here and tasked me with dealing with it. He wouldn't be happy to hear you tried to kill Lord Chris."

Chris hated it when people called him that. He often tried to protest the name only to be told that if Wyatt learned that they didn't call him Lord, Master or some equivalent thereof, they would be punished severely.

"That's how you met your fiancé?" Melinda asked.

"Yes."

"Wait, you're engaged?" Penny asked, giving him a skeptical once-over. "You're too young." she shrugged dismissively.

Chris raised an eyebrow, "I suppose that the family history must be wrong then. As I heard you were engaged at 16."

Penny waved it off. "The 60's were a different time."

"As is my world where you have to fight to survive. You never know when you'll meet your end and by whom. As you just witnessed. It was because of Aunt Paige's death and meeting Bianca that I eventually broke completely free of Wyatt and formed the resistance. Which eventually led to the plan of my returning here to try to prevent my future from happening, by saving Wyatt. There were a lot of people that felt the same way as the elder who started this. They didn't believe Wyatt could be good. They felt he was too powerful and they wanted to send someone back here to just kill him and get it over with."

"Why didn't you?" Penny asked.

"Because despite it all, he's my brother and I love him. I believed that if I could prevent whatever happened that he would be a force for good." Then he pointed towards Wyatt and said, "He's proof that I was right. That if we prevent this elder from kidnapping and torturing him he won't turn evil."

"Well then I guess the two of you best get to bonding so you find the person responsible." She waved her hands and dispersed the shield. "I wish you all luck. My time here is up, I'm afraid. I must return."
