Charmed: Heritage
Episode 1X14 – When Two Wrongs Make a Right Chapter One – Dinner For Five Thu, Apr 22, 2027 The main room at The Manor was almost full. At one table five people in their mid-twenties sat looking at menus. One of them was Akalia Wilkinson, a wide eyed young woman with black hair and almost white skin. She looked up from her menu to inquire of the young man across the table from her. “I see no sea food here. Do they sell sea food, Be . . . CT?” CT Bennett was a few years her senior with mid-ranged brown hair and brown eyes to match. His skin, though not dark, was darker than Aka’s. He sighed as he responded to her question. “Do you have to be so difficult, Aka?” A second young man, Max Keegan, dropped his menu to the table and glared at Aka with yellow eyes. A forked tongue slid across his lips. “Forget it, CT. Akalia never makes things easy.” The other young woman at the table, Brianna McInnis, a curly haired redhead with green eyes smiled, amused at Toby Edmunds, the remaining young man. Toby had straight black hair, tanned skin, and amber eyes. Noticing the look CT focused his gaze on the two. “Say it.” “Say what?” Brianna asked, looking at him quite innocently. “I don’t know,” CT admitted, “but whatever it is, just say it, Brianna.” “Waiter headed this way,” Aka informed them, forestalling whatever Brianna would have said. The other four all turned to see Chris Halliwell walking toward them in something that resembled a waiter’s uniform. He moved to stand behind Toby. “Hello, I’m Chris. I’ll be your waiter for the evening. Is everyone ready to order?” “I want sea . . .” Aka began before Brianna reached to her left and covered Aka’s mouth. “We’re ready.” Chris nodded as he took out his pen and notepad. “Go ahead.” “The chef’s special for me, and an ice tea.” Chris wrote something on his notepad and turned to Toby in front of him. CT watched Chris through guarded eyes. “I’ll take the marinated chicken and vegetables, very rare.” As he finished talking, Toby winced in pain as Brianna, to his left, stepped on his foot. “What was that for?” “You can’t order rare,” Brianna informed him. “Well, I doubt I can order it raw, so shush.” Chris blinked and raised an eyebrow before writing something down on his pad. “And what would you like to drink?” “Salt water,” Toby informed him without hesitation. Both eyebrows rose this time, but Chris wrote it down. He looked at CT next, but CT just shook his head and looked back down at the menu. He turned to Max. “Are you ready to order?” “Eggs,” Max decided. “Fried, but runny. Five. With water.” As Chris looked down to scribble this on his pad, the tip of Max’s forked tongue flicked out. Not noticing this, Chris looked up at CT and Aka. “Do you two need more time?” “Do you sell sea food?”Aka asked softly. “We do have shrimp,” Chris informed her. Aka’s face lit up as she quickly said, “I’ll take that. Black coffee with that, please.” Chris scribbled that down before looking up at CT, again. “Everyone else has ordered. Are you ready or would you like more time?” “Actually, I’d like this,” CT informed him pointing to a meal on the menu. Chris nodded and wrote it down. “Can I get any appetizers while you wait?” No one spoke for a moment. Then, Brianna nodded. “Some cheese sticks would be good. Thank you.” Chris wrote this down. “I’ll be back with your drinks.” Chris turned and walked toward the kitchen. Aka turned to CT. “Is that one of them?” CT nodded. “That’s Piper’s younger son.” “The one that’s half elder?” she asked in a whisper.” “Yes,” CT agreed with another nod. “Now is not the time, Aka.” “But he’s . . .” “Aka, not now,” CT interrupted. “We are here to eat, to relax. Leave that outside, Aka.” “But CT,” she protested. He just shook his head. “Stay and eat or return home, but the subject of the Charmed Ones and their offspring is off limits while we are here. Understand?” Aka nodded as three men in black suits entered from the hall. They were being lead to a table by Drinka Deguilio. “Thank you,” CT breathed a sigh of relief. “Demons at the door,” Aka announced. CT and Toby looked behind them. “The men in suits?” Toby asked. Aka nodded. “Definitely demonic. I doubt they are after us, though.” “Which means Halliwells,” Max scowled. “Man, I wanted to eat.” “Like you care how your eggs are,” Brianna retorted. “We’ll buy some eggs at the store and you can eat them on the way.” “Maybe they don’t mean to cause problems today,” Max suggested hopefully. “They’re demons,” Brianna reminded him. “So am I,” Max retorted. “True,” Aka agreed, “but your aura is good. Theirs is not.” Drinka and the three demon passed by their table and the five friends grew quiet. They had just passed the table when the room stopped moving. Brianna frowned and waved her hand in front of Aka’s face. She looked across the table at CT. CT shook his head and mouthed, “Freeze.” Chris walked into the kitchen followed by his mother, Piper Halliwell. “I’m telling you, something is off, Mom.” “I just froze my restaurant, Chris,” Piper reminded him sounding a little annoyed. “They had better be a reincarnation of the Source.” “Mom, the Source wouldn’t freeze,” Chris protested. “How would you know?” Piper wanted to know. “It’s been years and my powers have grown. I could freeze Cole and he was an upper level demon.” Chris looked at her confused. “Cole?” Connecting the name with his never talked of ex-uncle he added questioningly, “Aunt Phoebe’s ex-husband?” “Right,” Piper agreed as she walked up to the table right behind Max. “Is this them?” Chris nodded. “Now, what was the problem?” Brianna’s nose twitched as she tried to stay completely still. “One of them wanted raw meat,” Chris announced. Piper looked at her son with disgust. “That’s unhealthy and gross, but not demonic.” Just then Brianna sneezed. Piper and Chris’ heads snapped around to look at her. “You can move!” Piper exclaimed stunned. “Witches don’t freeze,” Brianna retorted. “Brianna!” CT exclaimed in warning. Piper and Chris looked at him startled. Brianna heaved in a breath and started chanting. “Since I have to leave, stop and end this freeze. Make the room forget anything that wasn’t yet.” As soon as she quit chanting the room started moving, again. Brianna grabbed Aka’s arm and pulled her out of her chair. CT grabbed Max and Toby both by the arms and started pulling them out of their seats. “What happened?” Toby asked confused. “Hey, let go!” Max protested. “Brianna!” Aka exclaimed, startled. “No time,” CT informed them. Before they could get anywhere, Chris reached out and grabbed Toby. Brianna and Aka got into the hallway and he saw Brianna blink out and Aka dark orb. Max ran ahead and shimmered once he reached the empty hallway. “What did I do?” Toby protested. CT looked at Chris’ lock on Toby’s arm. He looked Chris straight in the eye and said, “He’s good, Chris. You hurt him . . .” He let the threat trail off. The three demonic customers watched the scene with interest. CT looked at Toby. “Remember what Aka said. Keep watch.” As Toby nodded, CT let go of him and ran out of the room. He kept going once he reached the hallway, disappearing not in some magical means of transportation, but on foot.

Oho, complicated meetings and warnings for the Halliwells. And with the freezing and non freezing thing, that should be something to investigate - for both boys! Definitely some investigating to do and it's going to start with an interrogation of sorts. You've met most of those five in previous stories. Aka and Toby were in "Anti-Orb Zone." Brianna is Steve's niece who has been in two or three stories. Max has been mentioned a couple times and was in the last story with Brianna (as a favor to Devia on the Disneyland trip). I don't remember is CT has been mentioned before or not, but this is his first appearance.
Chapter Two – Half Darklighter?! Several minutes after his friends had abandoned him, Toby found himself leaning against a wall staring at Piper and Chris. Chris still had a light grip on his wrist, which was really starting to annoy Toby. He shook his wrist. “Let go. I’m not going anywhere.” “Why should I believe that?” Chris asked, skeptical. “Your friends did. And their methods of leaving weren’t exactly innocent.” Toby shrugged. “Yeah, well I can shimmer and dark orb, but you know that . . . that doesn’t make me evil.” Chris dropped his wrist as if it was on fire. “You’re a darklighter?” Toby wiped off his wrist and glared at Chris. “Yeah. Well, half anyway. My dad was a darklighter.” “Am I needed here?” Piper wanted to know. Chris looked at her surprised, as if he had forgotten that she was even there. “No. Sorry. I think I’m okay. Thanks.” Piper looked at Toby and Chris. “Be careful,” she warned her son before she walked back into the dining room. Chris watched her for a second and turned back to Toby. You said you could shimmer, too. So your mom is a demon.” “Yes,” Toby agreed, “but she’s gone.” “Gone?” Before Toby could answer a couple walked down the hall toward the door. Toby was silent as both he and Chris watched them. Once they were gone, Toby looked back at Chris. “Vanquished when I was a few weeks old.” “Oh.” “Don’t you want to know the rest?” “What’s to know?” Chris retorted. “You’re half demon, half darklighter, and that makes you all evil.” Considering his brother’s best friend, it was mostly the darklighter part that bothered him. How could a darklighter be anything other than evil? Toby shook his head. There was amusement in his eyes as he said, “Not exactly. My mom was a demon and your family vanquished her. I believe it was when you were on one of your vanquish-every-demon-to-protect-Wyatt binges.” Chris stiffened a little. Though he didn’t really consider that himself, the reference grated. “And you want revenge.” A man walked by them on his way to the bathroom. He gave Chris a look. Once he was past Toby grinned. Sobering quickly, he looked at Chris to answer. “No. With my mom gone, my dad was busy a lot. Darklighters have clients and stuff. Anyway, I ended up meeting CT before the shift.” “The shift?” Chris asked. “Yeah,” Toby agreed. This time he was really grinning. “That’s what I called it when my powerful best friend lost all his powers and I could still use some of mine. I was two. He was three. Neither of us really remembers it, but since he was stuck there I had to go to him. Believe me, it’s a troublesome process, so I stayed longer and longer periods of time. My dad never noticed and eventually I didn’t return.” “He’s a witch, right?” “Huh,” Toby blinked at him in surprise. “Yeah, I guess. I don’t really think about it since I never met his mom, but he’s half witch. His dad raised him and more or less me.” “And his dad is?” Chris asked, digging for more information, some clue as to their agenda. He may have trusted Seth with his life, but he didn’t know anything about this demon or his demonic friends. “Not really an open topic of conversation,” Toby admitted, “but he’s a good man.” “And the other. . .” Chris paused as another man headed past them down the hall. Once the man was passed, Chris sighed. “Let’s go somewhere without interruptions.” Making sure no one was coming Chris touched Toby on the shoulder and orbed them out.
Piper wouldn't have left if she thought Chris was in a lot of danger. She doesn't necessarily trust Toby, but she's pretty sure Chris can handle him if he ends up not trustworthy. |

Oha, so Toby knows some parts of the old Chris back in the past and his killing spree. lol Good that he gave some information to Chris and all. Wonder though what will follow now. Well, if your mother was the victim of someone's killing spree, wouldn't you know who was behind it (or at least know as many details as were public about it)? Toby knows a lot about Chris time in the past.
Chapter Three – Recognition The back room at P3 was dark. Chris orbed in with Toby, the light of the orbs lighting up the air around them. He let go of Toby and walked over to the couch and sat down. With a flick of his hand the light switched on. “Have a seat. You aren’t leaving here.” “What do you mean?” Toby asked, eyeing the door cautiously. “There is an anti-orb spell on this room.” “I can still shimmer,” Toby reminded him, unconcerned. “Isn’t that over kill?” Chris asked, slightly amused. “And no you can’t. My brother has a friend who can shimmer and he can’t shimmer out of here.” They had tested that theory the previous week. “The only way out is the door and it is kept locked.” “It doesn’t matter,” Toby admitted. “I’m not leaving anyway. CT’s word is law.” “And CT is one of those with you today?” “Yes.” “The half-witch?” Not that too many witches qualified as anything else, but presumably he was half something demonic or otherwise evil. “Yes.” “And what did he tell you to do?” Chris asked curious. “To see to it that the demons Aka saw don’t get whatever it is they want,” Toby informed him. Something was tugging at Chris memory, something about Toby, something about the name Aka. He’d met Toby before, but when and where? He pushed the thought aside and continued asking his questions. “Demons fighting demons? That’s not a very common practice anymore.” If anything, the underworld couldn’t afford the loss of man power. “How would you know?” Toby scoffed a little. “Do you go to the underworld?” “Sometimes,” Chris informed him, neglecting to mention that it was pretty much all in another time line where things had been very different, where he had been a different person. “Oh,” Toby looked at him surprised. “But you’re obviously not a demon.” “Yeah.” There was challenge in his voice as he added, “So?” “Fine,” Toby shrugged. “I don’t get it, but fine. Let’s get back to the topic of the demons at the restaurant.” “What demons?” Chris tried to remember anyone else that he had seen who might be demonic, but then if they looked demonic, they wouldn’t have been there. “Besides you and your friends?” “Yes, besides us,” Toby agreed, even if he did sound a little agitated. “And only four of us have demonic blood.” It was an odd comment that caused Chris to raise his eyebrows and ask, “Who isn’t demonic?” Toby shook his head. “You don’t get it, do you? Who is and isn’t demonic among my friends isn’t the point here; it isn’t important. The point is that we are on the side of good and one of my friends saw three demons enter your mom’s restaurant shortly before you chased us out.” “In that case, tell me about these demons,” Chris requested. “I don’t know much,” Toby admitted. “They’d only just shown up when your mom froze the room . . . that is what happened, right?” Chris was surprised that Toby had noticed considering the spell the red-headed witch had cast, but he nodded. “Well, tell me what you do know.” Toby sighed. “All Aka said before everything happened was that they were definitely demonic and that their auras, unlike Max’s, weren’t good.” “Their auras?”
The conversation dropped as they noticed a couple headed their way. Both had black hair. His was short with a slight bit of a wave at the tips. He was waving his hands around, apparently trying to explain something to the young woman with him.
Her hair was longer, past her shoulders, but almost the exact same shade as his. While his skin was light, hers was almost pure white. Her eyes were off, her pupils a little larger than normal, but at this distance, no one could tell. She was laughing as she listened to what her friend was saying. As they passed the picnic table she stopped suddenly. When her friend kept walking she exhaled swiftly and in a commanding voice said, “Freeze.”
The young man stopped moving instantly, not even moving his head to look at her. The move was either one of absolute trust or one of magical restraint.
She young woman looked around. Spotting the four at the picnic table she looked them over. After a few seconds a smile spread on her lips. “You have about six feet so just don’t go any farther.”
Disproving the idea of magical restraints, he relaxed visible and turned around to face her. “So what did you just save me from, Aka?”
The young woman, Aka, replied deadpan. “Anti-orb zone.”
Five sets of eyebrows rose at the confident words. Her friend laughed them off. “Then, I’ll just . . .”
“It’s just a name, Toby,” Aka interrupted, not wanting him to finish his sentence. She frowned as she added. “There’s none.”
With an exaggerated sigh at her cryptic words, the young man, Toby, replied. “We’ll just go around.”
“Not if you intend to get home,” Aka rolled her eyes at him. “It’s too big for that.”
Toby looked past her at the group at the picnic table. “And them?”
“All magical,” Aka replied without hesitation. With a grin she added. “Good magical.”
“Fine.”
Not able to stand it any longer, Chris called out to them. “Hey, what do you know of that thing?”
Aka gave him a shrug. “Avoid it.”
“Can’t,” Chris admitted. “Already been in.”
Aka’s dark eyes widened. “Okay, whitelighter. Get back in before your powers are gone for good.”How does she know? Chris tried to keep his stunned response to himself. “What makes you think I’m a whitelighter?”
She shrugged, again. “Fine.” She looked at him closer, or as close as she could from several feet away. After a few seconds, her already wide eyes, grew wider, realization setting in. “Elder.” The one word sounded almost as stunned at Chris felt. “I’m guessing half.”
Chris looked at her surprised. Does she see that just by looking at me? I didn’t think I looked any different than anyone else and she seems to know I’m half elder. How? Pulling his thoughts together, he inclined his head at the battle field. “What is it?”
“That?” Aka looked toward the zone. Her eyes were unreadable, even to Toby. “It’s an anti-orb zone.”
“What’s that?” Chris wanted more than a name. She’s already said the name.
“Nothing you’ll ever find in a book,” Aka admitted. She looked at him, considering.
“Aka,” Toby called, “I think we’d better leave before you say something you regret.”
Aka raised an eyebrow at him. “I don’t regret things I say.”
Toby groaned. “Okay, before you say something I regret.”
Aka rolled her eyes, but after an apologetic look at Chris walked away in the direction they had come from.
That was him, Chris realized, startled. He was with that girl who warned us about the anti-orb zone back in February. Were these auras how she knew about that? “I remember meeting you before,” Chris commented. “That girl with you. Was that Aka?” Toby smiled. “The anti-orb zone, right?” Chris nodded. “She was so worried I’d say something about being able to shimmer,” Toby informed him with a chuckle. “We try to keep a low profile as best we can, play up the demon or warlock sides when in the underworld. When around good magic we play up witch sides and abilities to orb . . . even if we don’t mention it’s dark orbing.” “And what are you playing up now?” Chris wanted to know. Toby shrugged. “I’m not playing up anything. If I was, I wouldn’t tell you that I was a demon/darklighter mix. It would be counterproductive.” He clucked his tongue, thinking. “I guess with you and yours the rule is something along the lines of avoid and don’t lie.” Chris frowned and got up from the couch. “Why on earth would anyone have a rule like that in place? I can maybe understand one or the other, but why on earth would you have both?” “You’d have to understand some things that I am not prepared to tell you,” Toby admitted. “And there is nothing in there that says I can’t avoid the questions.” He sighed. “Look, there are demons that were in your mother’s restaurant and they weren’t there for dinner. Aka’s the one who saw them and the one who saw their auras. I almost didn’t see them, because of your timing. And unless they were wearing those suits again and maybe not even then. Either listen to what I have to say or let me go, because my presence if pointless if you are just going to do nothing and possibly get killed in the process.” Chris heaved in several breaths as he thought about this. “Fine, I’ll play along. Let me call my mom and then we’ll head to my place. I’m going to want my brother’s help with this.” “Play?” Toby mumbled, shaking his head. “I suppose I’ll take what I can get. Just don’t let your playing get someone killed.” |

So, Chris is warned now and hope he remembers that when the fight occurs. But it could be that he's like his old self then but at least there's Wyatt to the rescue. Chris can certainly be serious, but Toby can be way more serious and he doesn't like that Chris isn't taking this serious. This next chapter has a fun title.
Chapter Four – Never Call Security on the Owner’s Son Chris hung the phone back up on the wall. It was kind of funny to have to deal with an older phone, but Piper had been very insistent that if anything changed in this room it looked like something that might have been here at the turn of the century. Of course the phone at the manor hadn’t changed much either. He wondered if he could get her to make some changes now with the changes that had happened in the last few months. Probably not. Chris turned to look at Toby. “Let’s go. We’ll have to actually leave the room before we can go anywhere, because the spell on this room seems to be extremely long standing.” “What did you mom say?” “Just to be careful,” Chris informed him, and to not trust demons.Toby nodded, but the amused look in his eyes indicated he had a pretty good idea what else she might have said. Chris pulled out the door key and unlocked it. He opened the door and headed out running into someone. “Aaaahh!” came a squeal followed by a clatter of dishes. Chris looked down at a young woman now sitting in the middle of a pile of broken dishes. “Sorry about that.” He offered her his hand. She brushed it aside. “Security! Ray, help!” Chris sighed as a burly bouncer came running into the room. The bouncer, Ray Williams, took in the scene and gave Chris a wry look. “Sorry, Mr. Halliwell. Annie, are you okay?” Annie Scottsdale glared at him. “Aren’t you going to hel . . . oh, my word! Did you say ‘Halliwell’?” Ray nodded. “Annie, this is Chris Halliwell, the boss’ younger son.” Annie groaned. “Why me?” “If you don’t mind, I was just leaving.” Ray frowned at the open door behind Chris. “I thought that door was kept locked tight.” Chris nodded and held up the key. “Yeah. Mom only wants me in there.” “But why?” Chris shrugged. “Years ago there was a guy named Chris who stayed in there. When they . . . lost him, they locked it up. It’s a long story, but I have to get going. Anyone special at P3 tonight?” Ray nodded. “The newest pop sensation, some gal named Allegra Felicitous.” Chris chuckled. “In other words, you’ve never heard of her, but your daughter is beside herself with excitement and wishes we’d let teenagers in the club.” Ray laughed. “Yeah, and if I don’t bring home an autographed photograph and maybe the singer herself, I’m not going to be spoken to for the next week. I’m trying to decide if I prefer her ‘eternal’ gratitude or a week of silence better.” Chris laughed and turned around to see Toby glaring at him. “You are not taking this serious.” Chris sighed and closed and locked the door. “Fine, let’s go.” He bid Ray and Annie good-bye and headed up the stairs. As soon as they were out of view he turned to Toby. “How are you with ‘white’ orbing?” “Clearly I survived the trip here,” Toby retorted. Chris nodded and touched his hand to Toby’s shoulder. Seconds later they were vanishing in blue and white orbs. |

If Chris still sees some fun in anything around him, it's good. Also with the locked door at P3 and only him can open it. Cool way, by the way. And the incident with Annie, *laugh*. At least, there's Ray to the rescue and help.

At least, there's Ray to the rescue and help. Yep. I have fun with him. I try to make him similar to season six Chris, but because he was raised differently, I also try to make him different. Yeah, Annie must be a new hire since she's never met Chris before. I liked the idea of them still having P3 in addition to the restaurant, but so far I haven't used it much. I have more plans for it in later stories though.
Chapter Five – Choices to Make, Promises to Keep Wyatt Halliwell pulled the popcorn out of the microwave and plunked the bag on the kitchen table. He grabbed a plate out of the cupboard and picked up a pan from the stove, pouring the contents onto the plate. He put the plate on the table next to the popcorn and took the pan over to the sink. Rinsing it out, he stuck it in with the rest of the dirty dishes. He picked up the popcorn and the plate and headed into the living room. He stuck both on the coffee table and groaned. He ran back into the kitchen and grabbed a fork. Once back in the living room Wyatt glanced at the clock, ten til. Seth should be arriving any minute. It was good to have his best friend back. He sat down on the couch and reached down to pick up his plate. That’s when the sound of orbs reached his ears. Wyatt looked up surprised, his eyes widening as he saw not just his younger brother, but also an oddly familiar stranger. “Chris?” Chris turned around to look at him. He looked at the food on the table with a raised eyebrow. He shrugged and indicated toward Toby. “Wy, this is Toby. He’s . . . well, he claims there was a demon in The Manor and wants us to deal with it. I asked Mom and the people he described left shortly after I did, so they aren’t an immediate threat, so far as I know.” From the look on Chris’ face, Wyatt could tell that Chris didn’t really believe this guy’s story, whatever it was. He got up from the couch. “I’m going to go get your friend something to eat.” “His girlfriend was the mysterious girl who knew what an anti-orb zone was,” Chris commented to his brother. Wyatt stopped and turned around. Toby glared at Chris. “How about we get something clear before we go any further? Aka is not my girlfriend.” “You sure acted like it,” Chris informed him. “How?” Toby wanted to know. “We were just talking.” “You stopped the instant she said to.” “I trust her,” Toby admitted with a shrug. “I would have stopped just as quick if . . . CT or Brianna had told me to stop. Had it been Max, maybe not.” “Why not Max?” “Because Max and CT can both be volatile, but unlike CT, Max is not my best friend.” Toby shrugged. “If Max is in a bad mood, I’m not always so inclined to follow his instructions.” “I suppose you’re the diplomat among your friends,” Chris retorted. “Perhaps among my friends, especially with Max and Brianna fighting right now.” Toby groaned. “Those two can be just exhausting right now and frankly I’m not sure Aka knows that there is a fight going on.” Wyatt raised an eyebrow and decided to head into the kitchen. His movie plans were likely spoiled, so he might as well deal with it. In the living room, Toby was getting very frustrated. “You still aren’t taking this serious. What is it going to take to get your attention? A dead body?” He sat down across from Chris and glared. “You really think these demons your friend saw are that bad?” Chris glared at him. He had no reason to trust this demon. He wasn’t even sure it wasn’t this demon he should be fighting. “Look,” Toby glared at him, “Aka said that Max’s aura was good and their auras weren’t. Max is my friend, but his aura is not all that good. So far as I know it’s never crossed the line into evil since we’ve known him, but it’s always been a sort of darker side of light the way Aka tells it.” Toby sighed and looked at Chris soberly. “And if Aka said Max was good compared to them, then these are some really bad demons. I don’t want to know what they might be up to, but I know I want to stop it.” Chris felt the fight go out of him as he looked at the serious expression on Toby’s face. “You really mean that, don’t you?” Toby nodded. “We don’t know what Aka saw. She didn’t have enough time to tell me, but she was concerned and more so when she realized they couldn’t possibly be after us, since they didn’t know we were there to start with.” “I still don’t get why demons would be after you. You are one after all.” Toby shrugged. “Just because I am a demon doesn’t make me evil. None of us are, but most cannot accept that.” Most weren’t really given the chance, because they liked the ambiguity. Shimmering caused both young men to look up startled. Toby looked unsure. Chris waited. When it formed into Wyatt’s best friend, Seth Silberman, Chris breathed a sigh of relief. “How many times do I have to tell you, don’t do that to me, Seth?” Toby watched them warily. “You trust him, I take it?” Toby asked with a slight frown. Chris nodded. “He’s Wyatt’s best friend, but I take your point. Demonic blood doesn’t make you evil, though I’m not sure how you can be a darklighter and not be evil.” “I can be a darklighter and not be evil,” Toby commented, “because like you didn’t become a whitelighter the normal way, neither did I become a darklighter the normal way. I was born this way. I don’t see how you or anyone else proposes to change that.” It was to those words that a far more unusual form of transportations, swirled hearts, appeared in the room and deposited the teenage form of one of Chris’ cousins. Ladybug Halliwell looked around the slightly crowded room. “Chris, do you mind if we talk?” Concern filled her eyes. “Sure, what’s the matter?” Chris asked as he stood. Ladybug looked at the two others in the room. She sighed. Seth scrunched his nose in thought. “Hey, why don’t I give you the grand tour, Mr. . ?” Toby chuckled. “Edmunds. My name is Toby Edmunds.” Seth turned to Chris in question. “That’s okay, right?” Chris nodded. “I haven’t decided how much to trust him, so I might as well warn you, he is half some sort of demon and half darklighter. Seth’s dark eyebrows rose as he looked at Toby. “That’s some odd combo there.” “Aka’s the same, more or less,” Toby informed him. “Demon/darklighter, that is, though a different demon.” Seth shrugged, not really caring who Aka was, and led the way out of the room. “Now this . . .” Seth said, before Chris tuned him out and looked at his cousin. “Now, what is the matter, Ladybug?”
Toby's funny when he's trying to convince people Aka's not his girlfriend, but he has his reasons. |

Interesting, interesting and obviously very complicated relationships in the house. At least, someone can knock some sense into Chris maybe and now with Ladybug here, it sure has to do with the missing Phoebe and Coop.

Interesting, interesting and obviously very complicated relationships in the house. At least, someone can knock some sense into Chris maybe and now with Ladybug here, it sure has to do with the missing Phoebe and Coop. Yep. I probably would do this part very differently if I rewrote the story, but here you go. Enjoy.
Chapter Six – Being Strong Ladybug leaned against Chris with her eye closed. “I don’t know what to do, Chris. I have to be strong for Cilly and Hope.” “Honey, Cilly knows how you feel,” Chris informed her. “No, I took a blocking potion years ago.” Chris laughed. “Your sister doesn’t need her powers to know how you feel. She’s your sister.” “I try so hard to hide it, but I can’t keep this up much longer. They’ve been gone nearly three months and late in returning almost two.” She groaned. “Are my parents even coming back?” Chris sighed. “I don’t know how to answer that, Ladybug. I can hope, but I have nothing to back that up. This family always lands on its feet.” “But Grandma Patty died when Mom was just a baby,” Ladybug protested. “How is that landing on our feet?” “Do you want me to summon her and you can ask her?” Chris asked softly. Ladybug looked at him startled. “Well, no. I mean you don’t need to disturb her.” There was a pause and she looked at him, questioningly. “You can do that?” Chris burst out laughing. “Yeah. We can do that.” “Will you come with me?” she requested. Chris glanced in the direction Seth and Toby had headed out. He could hear their voices along with Wyatt’s coming from the hall. “What can I do, Ladybug?” “I don’t know,” she admitted. “Maybe you’ll think of something no one else has. You and Wyatt were the only ones not helping us a few weeks ago.” Chris groaned. “Emily.” Ladybug frowned. “How’s that?” Chris shook his head. “Sorry. Emily from work kind of discovered that I’m a witch that day. I was . . . dealing with it.” “You didn’t dust her?” “Where did you hear about dusting?” “I think Aunt Paige’s dad mentioned it in a story once,” Ladybug informed him. “Are you going to come and help?” Chris glanced back at the hall. “I need to talk to Wyatt. We have someone here who claims someone who was at The Manor is really bad news and he wants us to track them down.” “Well, then, you’ve got to do that,” Ladybug informed him. “Much as I hate it, my parents can probably wait.” She shuttered. “I just can’t shake this feeling that something is really wrong.” Chris blew out a breath. “You stay here and I will be back. I need to tell Wyatt that he’s going to have to handle this . . . thing . . . on his own, because I’m going to see if I can find anything out about your parents.” “Are you sure?” Chris nodded as he got up. “Wyatt can handle whatever this is.” He left Ladybug on the couch and headed into the hall. He found Wyatt with Seth and Toby. “Wy, Ladybug has requested my help. Can you manage Toby’s demons without me?” Wyatt frowned at him. “His demons? What demons are those?” “I’ll let him explain,” Chris informed him. Toby glared at the back of him as Chris walked away. “This is how you treat someone who comes to you with a problem?” He looked at Seth. “You’re a demon, too. I saw you shimmer in.” Seth shrugged. Toby glared at him. “Fine, don’t listen. See if I care if they kill you.” In dark orbs, Toby vanished from sight. Wyatt frowned as he watched the orbs disappear. “We should follow him.” “What?” Seth looked at him surprised. “But he’s a demon.” Wyatt shrugged. “So are you.” Seth sighed and shimmered out. Wyatt smiled slightly and vanished in blue and white orbs. |

So, the groups are going different ways. Chris with helping Ladybug whereas Wyatt deals with Toby and all other things. We will see how it ends. Good or bad or if both needs the other's help. You never know with these boys. |

So, the groups are going different ways. Chris with helping Ladybug whereas Wyatt deals with Toby and all other things. We will see how it ends. Good or bad or if both needs the other's help. You never know with these boys. You'd think they would know never to split their forces, but to their way of thinking Ladybug probably doesn't need Chris for long (unless they actually find something) and Wyatt has Seth, so they think they are covered. And besides, so far these guys seem like they might actually be on the side of good. This next one is a bit longer than some. Enjoy.
Chapter Seven – Failed Spies Seth shimmered into the backyard of a single family home. He looked around confused as behind him Wyatt orbed in. “Anything interesting?” Wyatt asked as he came up behind him. Seth held up a hand as the sound of yelling reached their ears. He couldn’t understand what was being said, so he crept closer to the house. “I know what you saw,” Toby yelled frustrated, “but not even you know what that means and they don’t believe me!” Wyatt chuckled softly. “You shouldn’t have given up so fast,” Aka scolded him. “They are in danger or someone is in danger that they need to protect.” “We can protect them,” Toby growled. “We don’t know who they are unless they are the Halliwells,” Aka reminded him. “Who else could it possibly be?” “Are you serious?” Aka asked, sounded bemused. “Surely you don’t think the Halliwells are the only ones with demonic prices on their heads. And in case you didn’t pay attention, demons don’t generally need a reason to attack.” “But they need a reason to stake out their victims first,” Toby insisted. “Not really,” Aka shook her head. “And you call me naive.” “What do you think you’re doing?” a voice behind them asked startling both friends. Wyatt and Seth turned around and looked at Brianna. Seth glanced at Wyatt. “Busted.” “Very much so,” Brianna agreed. “You’re coming with me.” She pointed toward the house. As they got closer she called out. “Toby, looks like you were followed.” Toby looked out through the glass back door. His eyes widened in surprise as he recognized the two friends. “I thought you weren’t going to help me.” “He insisted,” Seth announced, indicating toward his best friend. “Inside,” Brianna ordered them. “I need to tell Dad we need better security at this house. Any old demon can just shimmer in.” “That is rude and racist,” Seth informed her. Brianna looked at Wyatt and Seth in surprise. Her eyes focused on Seth. “Are you saying that you’re a demon?” “Are you saying you didn’t know?” Seth returned. “With a comment like that, I figured that you did.” She shook her head. “Actually I’m kind of surprised to hear that the Charmed Ones let their kids associate with a demon.” “Our family is more open minded than that,” Wyatt protested. “Seth’s my best friend.” “If you didn’t mean me,” Seth looked at her, “then who did you mean?” “My best friends are all part demonic,” she replied. “I was actually just teasing Toby and Aka.” “What does that make you?” Wyatt asked as he stepped into the house next to where her two friends waited. She shrugged and pointed at a couch in the next room. “I’m a witch. Didn’t your brother mention it?” “Actually, my brother has not explained much of anything to me,” Wyatt admitted. “Our cousin showed up asking for help and he decided to split our forces.” She shook her head in discussed. “I hate how you say family means so much and don’t mean it.” Wyatt frowned. “What on earth are you talking about?” “Never mind,” she waved her hand in dismissal. “Just a really old story I heard a long time ago. It really has nothing to do with you. I’m sure for the most part family is very important to you.” “It is,” Wyatt agreed, looking at the three friends confused. “I don’t understand at all.” “Actually, I guess that’s smart,” Brianna admitted. “If your cousin needs help, you should help . . . her? Most of your cousins are I believe, but not all, so I guess it could be him.” “What do you know of our family?” “No offense, but your mom was a Charmed One.” “Actually my mom is a Charmed One.” “I hear they can’t use that power anymore.” “That’s because . . . it only works when all three of them are together.” Brianna shrugged. “I assume you are here, because you want to know more about the demons Aka spotted.” Wyatt nodded. Seth just pointed at Wyatt. Aka chuckled. Toby sighed. Brianna rolled her eyes. “Fine. I suppose we should start with introductions. I’m Brianna McInnis. This is my home. I live here with my dad who, like me, is a witch.” “Wyatt Halliwell,” Wyatt replied. “But you knew that.” Toby sighed. “Toby Edmunds, in case you missed it earlier.” Brianna snorted. Seth shrugged. “My name is Seth Silberman. I’m half human, half manticore.” The last part was directed at Brianna. “And I was raised by my human half, in case you were really interested in how a Halliwell is friends with a demon.” Brianna nodded. “Sorry, I actually know a great guy who is a demon, raised by demonic parents, both of them demonic, so I shouldn’t have said what I did.” “A great guy she’s been fighting with for most of the last five months,” Toby retorted under his breath. “How about we don’t air our dirty laundry in front of guests,” Brianna suggested. Without waiting for a reply, she turned to Aka. “You’re the only one left.” “Akalia Kaella Wilkinson,” Aka informed them. “I’m half Grimlock, which is how I noticed their auras.” Wyatt frowned. “What’s a Grimlock and what do you mean by auras?” “Where to start,” Aka laughed lightly. “Well, a Grimlock is a demon. They are extremely pale.” She waved a hand in front of her in demonstration. “I’m actually dark for a Grimlock because my mother is a darklighter. You’ve really never heard of us?” Wyatt gave her a wry look. “I think I probably needed to pay more attention to my mom and my aunts’ lessons over the years.” Brianna chuckled. “You didn’t think magic was coming back, did you?” He shrugged. “I never gave it much thought. I could orb and I could heal. The rest didn’t seem to matter that much.” Brianna sighed. “How could you think that?” “You said that you’re a witch,” Wyatt commented. “How much use of your powers did you get?” “Just spells,” she admitted. “But I got a lot of use out of those. Any magical powers needing to be used had to be from Toby or Aka.” “Which doesn’t amount to much,” Toby retorted, “especially for Aka, since she has a grand total of two powers even now and one of those is dark orbing.” Aka shook her head. “And yet I have a bounty on my head for the other one.” Brianna watched them for a few more seconds and then headed out of the room. “What’s so special about this other powers of yours?” Wyatt wanted to know. She smiled. “Imagine looking at someone and knowing without any doubt if they were good or evil.” Wyatt blinked. “You can do that?” She nodded. “Not only that but I know what they are. Human only shows up on those whose other parts naturally aren’t, like your friend.” “Explain.” “I look at you and I can see witch colors and I can see whitelighter colors, but I don’t see human colors because both of those are naturally human.” “And what do you see when you look at them?” He asked indicating Seth and Toby. “I see demons,” Aka admitted. “Though I must say it’s very rare to see two demons quite so bright.” “What does that mean?” Wyatt wanted to know. “I see things in different colors,” she informed him. “Those colors come in varied levels of dark and light. They indicate different types of creatures and different levels of good and evil.” “And that’s how you see all the time?” She shook her head. “No, I can turn it off, but it has to be a conscious decision.” “And it’s always been this way?” “No, only since magic came back,” she admitted. “Before that it was just an acute awareness of who someone was.” Brianna returned right then with her dad, Sean McInnis. “Dad, these two young men are Wyatt Halliwell and Seth . . . well, I forget his last name, but he is a friend of Mr. Halliwell.” “Halliwell, huh?” Sean commented, eyeing the two friends. “Well, I suppose it’s a pretty good guess they’re on the side of good then. What brings them here?” “We went out to eat at The Manor,” Brianna explained. “While we were there Aka saw some demons and she thought they might be up to something. Unfortunately, we had to scatter before we could find out what.” “Are you sure they weren’t just hungry?” Sean asked. Five sets of eyes turned to look at him. “Is that possible?” Aka blew out a breath. “Unlikely. They were extremely dark.” “So’s my brother-in-law from what you tell me, but as far as I can tell he hasn’t done anything in years.” “Your brother-in-law is evil?” Wyatt asked, confused. “But I got the impression you were a witch.” “And my wife was a warlock,” Sean admitted. “I have Brianna, so I can’t really regret that, but it does tie me to him. So what makes you so sure these demons were there for anything other than food, Akalia?” She closed her eyes and exhaled slowly. When she opened them, her dark eyes were extremely focused. She looked at Sean and said, “I just know.” Sean considered her for several seconds. “This is like that Finnegan baby, isn’t it?” Brianna chuckled. Toby groaned. “Leave me out of that one. I could have burned Max for that fiasco.” “As if you could have,” Brianna retorted. “You want to test my acid?” Toby asked. Aka shook her head. “I’m just glad that Max and CT aren’t here.” |

Hehe, still complicated if you ask me. All these powers, simple and more, and also interesting pairings out there which the Halliwells never know of, it seems. They should be glad that the boys are now into this field and can get to know more different beings. And well, whoever might be after them, it won't be good.

They should be glad that the boys are now into this field and can get to know more different beings. And well, whoever might be after them, it won't be good. It certainly can be complicated. It definitely will not be good with what's getting put into motion right now. A little more on that now.
Chapter Eight – While You Were Sleeping   and three demons Steve Kessler shut the door to his daughter’s bedroom. Devia had fallen asleep at her desk working on her homework. He wasn’t sure what had so exhausted her, but he had slipped off her shoes and slipped her otherwise fully dressed into her bed. Hopefully when she woke she would be rested enough to finish up. He walked silently down the hall. When he reached the end he was surprised to see three demons in suits. “Don’t tell me you already screwed this up.” “The Grimlock girl was at the restaurant,” one of the demons informed him. Steve groaned. He knew what that meant. “You didn’t do anything to rouse her suspicion did you?” “I don’t believe so,” the same demon conceded, “but the rumor is she doesn’t need action to judge intentions.” “And if you don’t do anything to prove her suspicion in her presence, she will give up,” Steve informed them. “She was here with my niece about a month ago and of course she is suspicious of me, but she has nothing specific. She has no real reason to believe anything. Stay out of her way if you can and if you can’t ignore her. Act as if you have nothing to hide and she’ll believe it soon enough. What of your mission?” “The brothers are separated right now,” a second demon informed him. “One of them is with your niece and her friends though.” “And the other brother?” “He’s with one of his cupid cousins,” the third demon announced. Steve sighed. “Then, that’s the one you need to deal with first. Don’t be seen unless you intend to engage them in combat.” The three demons looked at each other. They nodded slowly and one by one they shimmed away. |

Oha, that means Chris is in danger which these three Grimlocks after him. But he could have his cousins' help then. The Grimlocks could fail as well there. You never know with the brothers. |

Admittedly, Ladybug proboably has less experience fighting that he does, but she does have some abilities that could be useful if she needed to.
Chapter Nine – The End of the Road The room was empty until the air shimmered and two figures appeared. CT wobbled as Max let go of him. “Do you realize that shimmering is worse than dark orbing?” Max eyed him momentarily and rolled his eyes. “That’s probably because Toby has been dark orbing you places since you were three and I’ve only been able to shimmer places for the last few months.” CT scowled. “Yeah, well, if they couldn’t track my movements, I wouldn’t bother asking for help from either of you.” “There’s always Brianna,” Max retorted. “She can blink you places.” “That’s worse!” CT announced. Max, who had known what response he was going to get with that, laughed. “So I want to know why we just left them. I really could have used a fight.” “We only have Aka’s word that they are up to no good.” “If you’re going to start doubting her, then what’s she doing on this team?” “I’m not doubting her auras, but I need proof of her conclusions before I act,” CT replied. “So far all we have is three demons dressed really well shimmering around places.” Max sighed. “They spied on the Halliwells.” “Which might mean something,” CT admitted, “but I’m not sure what.” “It falls into line with Aka’s conclusions,” Max reminded him. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an egg. “Do you mind?” CT looked up. Seeing the egg, he smiled and shook his head. “No, enjoy.” Max stuffed the egg in his mouth and swallowed it whole. CT shuddered. “Your father’s people are very strange.” Max shrugged. “Nothing I can do about that,” he replied before popping another egg into his mouth. CT sighed and walked over to the window. He looked into the house next door to where Ladybug paced the room. He could see Chris talking to her sister, Cilly Halliwell. Ladybug and Cilly’s younger sister, Hope Halliwell, walked over to the window and he ducked down. Max frowned as he noticed CT scrunched against the wall. “What are you doing?” “One of them is looking out the window.” CT peaked around the corner. “In case you didn’t notice, we don’t live here.” Max chuckled. “Yeah, well those demons are nearby. What’s the plan?” “The plan is for you to let everyone else know what we’ve learned.” “And what will you do?” Max frowned. “You can’t stay here.” “I can as long as the owners don’t arrive.” “Yeah, well, considering who the owners are, I doubt they’ll be too happy if they learn a couple of demons were here.” CT frowned and looked at Max. “Last I checked this house was owned by a little old couple that likes to make cookies for those three sisters.” Max nodded. “Thomas and Irena Ludlow.” CT frowned. “Should I know those names?” “Irena’s mother was once married to a relative of theirs,” Max informed him. “She’s a retired doctor. Her father and brother both were as well.” CT nodded. “And why would these people know about demons?” “How about I explain it later when we aren’t chasing down the bad guys?” CT nodded. “If they come home, I’ll be careful.” “You’d better, because you’ll have to get out on your own,” Max teased before he shimmered away. CT looked out through the window and saw Ladybug hugging Hope close as Cilly continued to talk to Chris. He closed his eyes and sighed.
There is a super obscure reference in here with the neighbors, but I might have made it too obscure to get with what little is there about them, but who knows. Maybe you'll get it. Does it ring any bells? |

Yeah, from S2 but I can't remember any names. Sorry. Spying demons - nice. I'll bet they wait for the Grimlocks again who have the order to attack Chris. What will happen then? Nothing good, I take it.

Nothing good, I take it. From season two, yes, but not the demons (although it's been a while, so it's possible I took them from there as well). It's a bit more obscure than that actually. I just checked the related episode title and it's connected to a single statement made by one of the characters in Ex Libris.
Chapter Ten – The Snake Prince Max shimmered into the McInnis house and looked around. The first person he spotted was Brianna since she was directly in front of him. He looked around, quickly taking in the rest of the room. His eyes stopped on Wyatt and Seth and he looked at them with surprise. “He’s a Halliwell, but not the one from the restaurant.” “Brilliant as always,” Aka retorted. “Don’t mess with me, Akalia,” he returned. “Such a loving bunch,” Seth whispered to Wyatt. Wyatt smirked. Toby sighed and shook his head. “You want to see that, you’d have to see Brianna with her cousin.”
“I don’t know you,” the girl informed Seth. “Are you one of Brianna’s friends?”
Seth frowned, not sure what she was talking about.
She sighed. “You have no idea who Brianna is, do you?”
He shook his head. “’Fraid not.”
“I saw you shimmer,” she added.
“I see,” he asked, question in his voice.
“Brianna’s friends can shimmer,” she informed him.
“Really.” Though he seemed to be trying to hide it, there was clear interest in his voice. He was curious as to whom this Brianna was and why this girl was so intent on connecting him to her.
“Her boyfriend is a prince,” the girl continued.
“Prince of what?”
“Snake Lord.” She watched him carefully for a reaction. She wasn’t disappointed.
Seth took a step back at the words. He’d heard of the Snake Lord. Despite a lack of magical powers over the last couple of decades, he had still managed to gain many followers over time and was not someone to cross lightly.
The girl laughed in delight. “Looks to me, you are just the sort of person Brianna would hang out with.”
Seth looked down into her eyes. “And what sort of person is that?”
“The sort who’s got demonic powers, but doesn’t like demons.” And then she walked away toward her house, leaving Seth confused and more than a little curious about this strange little girl.
Seth looked at Brianna with wide eyes. If he was right and this was the same Brianna that girl had been talking about one of these was the son of the Snake Lord. He sighed and looked at them. “Which one of you is the Snake Prince?” Toby’s jaw dropped. Brianna gaped at him. Aka’s eyes widened and she slapped her hand over her mouth to keep a giggle from escaping. Max scowled at him. “What did you call me?” “Bad idea,” Brianna whispered to Aka. “I can’t believe he said that,” Aka returned. “Where did he even hear that?” Toby wanted to know. “I second that question,” Wyatt informed his best friend. Seth shrugged. “When I was trying to track down info about that demon, James Thomas, I came across this girl. She said that ‘Brianna’ was friends with the Snake Lord’s heir. The official phrase in the Underworld for the Snake Lord’s heir is the Snake Prince. I guess he doesn’t like that phrase.” “You think?” Wyatt asked wryly as Max stalked toward them, his face growing red. “I guess not,” Seth returned as he stood. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to insult you.” “Are you so completely ignorant that you think my father would claim me?” Max asked in a growl. Seth’s eyes narrowed. “Are you so completely ignorant that you think it matters if he claims you or not? If it really matters, maybe you can lead an entire demonic race out of evil, because like or not unless he outlives you they will be yours when he’s gone.” “I don’t want that,” Max informed him. He frowned and looked at Seth. “Where on earth did you get the idea they would follow me?” “You are his heir, right?” Max nodded. “And highly despised by all.” Seth looked at him for several seconds a look of surprise slowly growing on his face. “You aren’t full Snake demon, are you?” Max shook his head, slowly. “How?” “Just your reactions,” Seth admitted. “You don’t know much about Snake demons, do you?” “I know enough.” “Find out more,” Seth suggested. “You might learn something useful. Especially find out about your roll. It may save your life someday.” “Oh, I know my brothers may challenge me for the right,” Max informed him. “I have no intention of dying to any of them.” “There’s more to it than that,” Seth informed him. “I only started doing research on it after talking to that little girl, so I don’t know a whole lot, but I have a feeling I know some important things you don’t.”
Merry Christmas! Hope you have a great day! |

Oho, challenges between half demons! Interesting, interesting. Yeah, Seth turns out to be useful in many ways. At least, his research helps - most of the time. lol
