The Breaking Point

[Fiji221]

DISCLAIMER! The inspiration for this FanFic comes from the RPG, Annimosity of Affinity!



2027 Mel=19 years old, Chris=22 years old, Wyatt=23 years old

Chris Halliwell was lying on his bed staring up at his ceiling, trying very hard to comprehend what had happened just yesterday. He tried hard to brush it away but the memory of what had happened came flooding back...

Chris had been up in the attic of the manor, searching through the Book of Shadows when he heard a scream coming from downstairs followed by a crash.

"Mel..." he muttered to himself. He ran down the stairs, expecting to see a demon and his sister fighting, but he had not been prepared for the truth. Melinda was starring at Wyatt with panic in her eyes, it was not the same brother that had beem standing there a few minutes ago. His hair had turned long and scragily, and his clothes became all black.

"Wyatt!" she shrieked at her older brother "What the hell's the matter with you!?" Wyatt just stared at her in disgust,

"Shut up" he scowled at her. He hit her backhand and sent her flying against the wall. Melinda sat up and saw Chris, she stared at him with fearful eyes. Chris didn't know what to say.

"Get out of my house" Wyatt said coldly. And with that he sent his younger siblings out of the house in a swirl of black and dark blue orbs.

It was at that point that Chris had realized Wyatt had turned. Mel and Chris tried to get back inside to try to talk to him, but every time, they were shot back in a surge of electricity. Recently the two of them had orbed into the house, quietly gathered a few of their things and bought an apartment in another part of the town, for they knew that they were no longer welcome in the manor. Chris was filled with hate, not towards Wyatt, but towards himself. He should have realized that Wyatt was beginning to turn, what with all of his talk about power. He was shaken from his daze when he heard a soft knock at his door. He sat up on his bed to see Mel standing in the doorway. Her face was blotchy and red. Chris patted a spot next to him on the bed, indicating that she should sit down, and she did. She stared up at her brother with a frown on her face.

"How did this happen?" she asked quietly "how did our big brother, become our enemy?" Chris didn't know how to respond, but he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.

"I'm scared Chris" she confessed. Chris grasped his baby sister tighter

"Me too" he whispered, "me too'

2 months later

Chris quietly orbed into the appartment he shared with his sister, praying that she was still asleep.

"Hey" he heard a voice say. He winced busted. He turned to face his sister who was lying on the couch reading a book.

"Hey Mel" he replied. Mel looked flushed and tired, as though she hadn't slept in weeks.

"Chris, I feel like I hardly know you anymore, seeing as I never see you." she said rather bluntly.

"I've been out" he began heading towards his room, hoping to end the conversation.

"As a Halliwell I've learned one thing, and that's the fact that you don't keep secrets from the people you love" Chris turned to look at Mel when she said those words with a confused look on his face.

"How am I supposed to know that your not out there becoming some kind of demon god? Turning evil just like Wyatt did? How am I supposed to know these things if you don't tell me?" she said with a hurt look on her face. It was a look that Chris very rarely saw, and never liked it when he did. He walked back over to her.

"Mel I would never do that and you know it. I would never turn on you." He suddenly realized that the couch was made up like a bed.

"Did you sleep out here?" he asked as he sat down beside her.

"Yeah, some demon fried my bed last night. But don't worry, I got him" she added with a smile. She looked around the room,

"What time is it?" she asked. Chris looked down at his watch,

"8:30" he replied. Suddenly Melinda shot up and started running towards her room.

"Aw $h!t, I'm late" she said. She quickly got dressed and brushed her teeth. She then headed for the door.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Speaking of never being around. Where are heading off to." She stopped in the doorway,

"I'm meeting Lindsey over at the cafe, we were gonna grab a latte or something before we headed off to work. You're welcome to join us."

"Nah, that's alright, I think I'll just catch some sleep" he replied. She shrugged, grabbed her purse and headed out the door. Chris went into his room got on to his bed and began to drift to sleep.

Melinda walked down the street towards the cafe when a demon shimmered in front of her. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"You know, I'm late as it is so can we make this quick?" she asked casually. She lifted up her hands and flicked them at the demon, but he shimmered out of the way and she missed him. She began to glance around looking for the demon. He grabbed her from behind and drew an athame to her neck. He put a small slit about a quarter of an inch long before she elbowed him in the stomach and took aim again. This time she got him and he blew up. Mel sighed and headed back on her way towards the cafe when Chris orbed in front of her.

"Oh my god! What? Lindsey's gonna freak, I'm already late. She's gonna think I'm dead or something." Melinda cocked her head as Chris just stared at her.

"What?" she said making him jump a little bit.

"Oh right, are you ok? I sensed you were in trouble." Mel just looked at him and she began walking again, with him following.

"Yeah I'm fine. It was just some lower level creep. I thought you were sleeping" He nodded,

"I was." They walked in silence for a minute until he noticed the small slit in her neck.

"What happened?" Melinda placed her hand on the cut and pulled it away, looking at the blood remembering what the demon had done.

"Oh, it's nothing. Hey since you're here do you wanna grab something at the cafe. My best guess is Lindsey's already gone, and seeing as I'm an hour late for work, I'll just call my boss and take the day off. so you up for it?" Chris was surprised that they were already standing outside of the small coffee shop and nodded. The two siblings went in and grabbed a seat.

Not to sound like a self-centered b!tch or anything, but it would be nice if you could put a disclaimer saying you were inspired by our RPG. We've worked really hard on it.

I do enjoy where this is going.

[Fiji221]

[Assassin Witch]

No problem, CharmedGurl. Again, I'm glad we could help inspire you.

I'm looking forward to more.

[Fiji221]

Melinda dug her cell phone out of her purse and began punching in numbers. Chris listened in to her conversation with her boss,

"Mr. Henway, before you bite my head off for being late, I just want to remind you that I haven't been late or asked for a day off in months, but there's a first time for everything and I'm asking now........." she bit her lip and waited for her bosses response, then smiled "thanks a bunch" she hung up, put her phone back in her purse and smiled up at Chris. They each ordered a coffee and began chatting. About a half an hour later Mel sighed deep and put on a huge smile.

"What?" Chris asked not being able to help smiling as well.

"This is nice Chris. Ever since..." she swallowed hard "Ever since Wyatt...ya know... we've been all about stopping him and all about turning him back. We've never really had time to just have a nice brother-sister chat. Chris thought for a moment and realized that she was right. He noticed her beginning to pull a twenty out of her purse, but Chris stopped her and put his own money up. They walked out of the cafe and onto the street.

"Here" he said reaching out his hand "I'll orb you back home" Melinda shook her head

"You go ahead, I kinda feel like walking" Chris nodded and orbed off. Mel began walking down the sreet when she was cut of by dark orbs. Mel looked up and almost screamed.

"You son of a b!itch. What the hell do you want?" she asked getting ready to blow him up or freeze him

"Mel, Mel, Mel, is that any way to talk to your big brother?" Wyatt sneered. She just glared at him, then realized it was not safe for her to be alone with him.

"Chris" she muttered quietly "Chris you get your a$$ over here, now"

"Calling for Christopher I see. Need your big brother to protect you?" he asked in a babyish tone. She could feel her blood beginning to boil and she lost it. She began repeated attempts to blow him up, putting more and more energy into each one.

"You" *boom* "slimy" *boom* "ba$tard" *boom*boom*boom*

Wyatt barely flinched at the blasts. Chris orbed in unnoticed by his siblings and pulled Mel back, not noticing who she was fighting. Then he heard him,

"Chris, what a nice surprise." He said. Chris began to push Melinda behind him but she refused to, she stayed firmly at his side. Out of the blue, Wyatt began shooting electrical bolts at them. They both dove in opposite directions both coming dangerously close to getting hit. Chris had never once though about actually attacking his brother, but he had attacked first, so he began shooting them back as Melinda began attempting to blow him up again. The two siblings on the side of good were shocked at the fact that they were actual trying to hurt their brother, but they had no choice. They could tell that Wyatt was getting angry with them. He began throwing the bolts like wild. Melinda dodged them skillfully, Matrix style, Chris doing the same. Wyatt began shooting two at a time. Chris groaned in pain as one of the bolts passed through his chest.

"CHRIS OH MY GOD!" Mel cried out. She ran towards her brother and Wyatt ceased fire. He smiled satisfyingly as Mel sat on Chris's side. She stared up at him with hate in her eyes.

"Wyatt, you ba$tard. You evil son of a b!tch." Wyatt just laughed an evil laugh and orbed out. Melindad stared down at Chris, the bolt had gone all the way through him and he was bleeding uncontrollably.

"Jason!" Melinda cried out for their whitelighter. He orbed in instantly and spotted Chris on the ground. He quickly went over and healed him. Melinda breathed deeply as her brother sat up. She hugged him tightly.

"What happened?" Jason asked.

"Wyatt..." the two siblings said in unison each with a hint of disgust in their voices.

Wyatt had crossed the line when the bolt passed through Chris. Before all of this, Mel and Chris thought him as an innocent, their brother. Not anymore, he was no longer innocent, he was their enemy... it was war.

[RP Muse]

ps: no offense to the RP people of that Rp game[/glow]

[Fiji221]

*Thanks everyone for your comments!*

Chris orbed Mel and himself back to the appartment as Jason ran off to attend to another chair. Mel thrust her purse onto the floor and sat on her couch, resting her head in her hands.

"This is ridiculous!" She shouted. Chris just stood on the sidelines and watched his sister explode,

"Wyatt, our Wyatt! The same boy who made you soup when you a pnemonia and watched TV with you. The same boy who sneaked me out to Lindsey's house after mom had grounded me for destroying the attic because of a backfired spell. Our brother! Has officially turned on us!" Chris walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Calm down Mel. Last time when you got mad like this..... well, I'm sure you can still tell where the hole in the wall of your room is." he said trying to lighten the mood. They both laughed a small laugh.

"What are we going to do?" she asked quietly.

"Well, we're going to do whatever it is we have to do to keep eachother safe." he replied, not entirely sure himself.

"Aw... isn't that sweet?" The siblings groaned and turned to face the voice. The last person on earth, that they wanted to see right now was standing in their living room.

"Marissa..." Chris replied coldly.

Marissa was Wyatt's personal assassin. Ever since he had found out that Chris and Bianca(his late, personal assassin) had been having an affair, he had killed Bianca and hired another. She stood in all her leather glory. She summuned an athame and threw it at the pair. They ducked and it flew into their wall. Mel decided that she had had enoguh magical combat and decided to go hand to hand, which she had learned from her aunt Phoebe. As Marissa and Melinda started beating the crap out of eachother, Chris began orbing various sharp, or breakable objects towards her.

"Chris!" Mel yelled at him. He stopped short expecting something flying his direction but there was nothing.

"You put that lamp down right now! That was mom's good crystal!" She shouted. Chris noticed the lamp he had covered in orbs, groaned and set it down. They continued their fighting until Mel kicked her square in the chin, and Chris orbed a large plate and smashed it over her head, rendering her unconcious.

"What do we do with her?" Melinda asked, starring quizzically at the unconcious assassin. Chris flicked his hand and orbed her off to the manor.

They searched the room and noticed there was major damage. There were various smashed objects, the table was in half... it looked like a disaster zone.

Mel walked over to a smashed picture and held it up so she could look at it. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes. It was a picture of Chris, Wyatt and herself all smiling and laughing, all covered in a slimy purple substance. She held it up for Chris to see.

"Remember this?" she asked. Chris smiled,

"We were all making a potion, Wyatt had slipped in the wrong ingredient by accident. So in the end, it exploded, and we got that purple slime just started laughing so hard until it hurt."everywhere! Mom got so mad, because we trashed the kitchen, but we all started laughing until it hurt." He and Mel began cleaning up as they continued to talk.

"This isn't going to be easy. I mean what if it ends up to be so serious that we actually have to end up hurting him? Or... killing him?" Melinda thought out loud. Chris sighed, he had actually been thinking the same thing.

"I don't know. Let's focus on trying to get him back on our side for now"






Sorry, that one wasnt very good, I'm getting a major writers block, lol!

[AjentAnjel :)]

YES, finally bianca is dead!!! haha just playing i love bianca, just my character doesnt

[Fiji221]

haha

[vanillabliss]

Don't be silly it was very good! cant wait to read more.

[Fiji221]

Back at the Manor, Wyatt was pacing the floor as he spoke to a few demons he had summoned.

"The little brats are going to be ready next time, that's why we're going to go back with more power. Demons on their own have not quite been effective. We need to hit them with armys, that way they can't team up. I say we send at least 6 demons, put 2 on Chris, and 4 on Melinda. She's weaker then him and won't be able to handle that many at once, and then Chris will be to busy handling his own demons and won't be able to help her. It's brilliant." He stared at the demons, waiting for a response.

"Well get on it! Get the strongest you can find! No lower level creeps!" He shouted. The demons shimmered away quickly. Wyatt stood alone in the room and smiled a sly smile as he picked up a photo of his siblings.

"I will destroy you" he said quietly to himself.


_________________________________________________________


Chris and Mel finished cleaning up the room. Mel decided that she would make them their dinner.

"What do you want to eat?" she yelled from the kitchen,

"Eh, I'm good with... Oh Sh!t" he said. He watched as a large group of demons shimmered in. Mel ran to his side when he saw the horde.

"Alright, you take one half, I'll take the other." she suggested. But the demons had other plans. Two of them went running towards Chris, while the four biggest headed for Melinda. Her eyes got big, but she didn't hesitate. She positioned herself in a fighting stance, completely forgetting about her powers.

"Mel what the hell are you doing? Blow them up!" Chris yelled at her when he noticed her doing hand to hand combat.

"Oh, right" she replied meekly. She then began hitting each demon with a large dose of her power, though she was extremely surprised when they hardly flinched.

"It's not working!" She yelled at her brother, who was fighting the demons using electrical bolts. The demons began to circle Mel. She had to spin around to hit each of them. Suddenly, one of them grabbed her from behind and threw her against the wall, head first. Chris glanced over as he saw his sister slump to the floor as the other four demons advanced on him. He wanted desperatly to make sure she was ok, but knew that wasn't an option. He fought like hell sending bolts off like wild fire. One by one, they each were reduced to ash. Finally the last of them screamed and was engulfed in flame. Chris sighed but then remembered Melinda. He went over to her, no blood, she was just unconcious. He decided against calling Jason, figuring she would be awake in an hour or two. He set her on the couch and sighed,

What a day he thought.


_________________________________________________________


An hour later Melinda woke up to find Chris peering over her.

"Owwww... what happened? Wait, don't answer that, I don't care." she said. She glanced at their appartment,

"D@mn, didn't we just finish cleaning?" she asked, smiling. She got up and went over to the kitchen,

"You know, you never answered my question, what do you want for dinner?" Chris smiled,

"Let's just order a pizza."


_________________________________________________________


Wyatt brushed the things off of the table violently,.

"D@mm!t! Those little pests are getting better! No matter the cost, we WILL KILL THEM!" he yelled at his minions.






MAJOR WRITERS BLOCK! lol!

[phoebe11]

very interesting u r very good at this u should have wrote some of the show scripts

[Fiji221]

About 20 minutes later there was a loud knock at the door.

"I'll get it, it's probably the pizza" Chris stood up and headed for the door, he had barely turned the handle when it burst open and Mel's two friends Lindsey and Kyle walked in.

"Mel! Oh my god! Are you guys ok!? We were so worried when you didn't show up for work!" Lindsey cried running to her friend.

"Oh, hi Chris" Kyle said as he headed for Mel as well,

"Hope you don't mind us dropping by like... what the hell happened in here?" he asked laughing,

"Looks like a hurricane hit this place" Lindsey added,

"Worse, our brother's minions did" Chirs remarked. Even though his sister's friends were 3 years younger, he still liked them and didn't mind hanging out with them.

"Ouch..." they remarked in unison. They knew about the Halliwell's magic, even though they didn't posses any powers themselves.

"Do you mind if we hang out here for awhile?" Lindsey asked glancing between the two siblings.

"Um, no not at all. Would you excuse us for a second?" Chris pulled Melinda into his bedroom.

"Mel, this is not the time, if I know Wyatt, he's probably pissed by now seeing as we've avoided him.... what? Four times today? We can't protect them and ourselves if more demons show up!" he pointed out.

"I could always freeze them..." Meinda replied. Chris just gave her his famouse 'don't think so' look. She sighed and walked back to her friends,

"Actually, now's not a very good time" she said meekly. They nodded and walked back out of the room.

"Happy?" she asked her brother, who just smiled,

"Very" she laughed along with him.


_________________________________________________________


Wyatt was flipping furiously through the Book of Shadows back a the Manor looking for ways to take out his brother and sister.

"Obviously, numbers are not the answer, and I underestimated the younger one." he said to himself.

"Power, I need power!" he pondered for a moment.

"Maybe I can try taking them out myself, this afternoon was child's play, if i gave them full power, then i could most definetely take care of at least one of them, and that will leave the other weak, making them the perfet target." he smiled,

"Oh, but where's the fun in that? I'll leave that as a last resort..." he laughed meniaclly then sighed as he continued his search in the book.


_________________________________________________________



"Maybe we can cast some kind of a spell to figure out what Wyatt is planning to do next, then we can be prepared" Mel suggested. Chris was about to knock the idea, but then thought about it,

"You know, that might actually work" he said. He walked over to the kitchen, grabbed a paper and pen and began jotting down a spell.

"Alright, you ready?" He asked as he read over the paper again, making sure there were no flaws. Mel just nodded.

"ok..." he held the paper out so Mel could read it along with him.

Let Truths Be revealed,
And Secrest unsealed,
To Learn our enemy's thoughts
So we may stop his evil plots

"Was that really the best you could come up with?" Mel asked sarcastically.

Suddenly bright red lights began swirling aroun their heads for a few moments until they shot into their heads.

"Ok, that was wei...whoa" Chris said. Suddenly in his head he began hearing Wyatt's voice in his head.

"Are you hearing his voice to?" He asked his sister. She nodded, having a concentrated look on her face.

"He...is....going to hit us with more power...stronger demons....like....Barbus...Shax...Zankou..." Mel shook her head, as if trying to get the voice out.

"Didn't mom, aunt phoebe, aunt paige, and aunt prue kill all of those demons?" She asked. Chris nodded,

"I guess my spell worked, just not as planned" He hit his head, like you would if you were trying to get water out of his ear,

"I hope this isn't permanent." he added. Mel smirked,

"It was your spell..." Chris narrowed his eyes at her playfully,

"Well, at least we have a general idea of what he's planning. Power" he said.

"That means we have to build ours..." Mel added. They both nodded.

"Let's start training... we don't know when he's going to attack next." she advised

"Actually, we do." Chris listened to Wyatt's voice for another moment

"Tomorrow night..." he said.

"Let's get started"

[Fiji221]

This is going to be the last addition for awhile, I'm going to be gone for a week or so, but I promise to have so really good stuff to add when I get back. Enjoy!



Mel and Chris knew that harnessing their powers was not going to be enough to destroy Wyatt, but it was going to have to do. So for 24 hours straight (well, almost), the duo trained their powers so they were at their highest potential.

"Holy $h!t..." Mel exclaimed as she stared at the hole in the wall that she had created using her power. Chris, who had been in the room opposite of the wall stared through the hole at Melinda.

"Did you do that?" He asked, his mouth hanging open. She gave a weak laugh,

"Yeah, I guess I did....cool."


_________________________________________________________



Wyatt stared down into a bowl of water that he had enchanted so that he could spy on his siblings.

"Ha, idiots, they think that honing their power is enough to defeat whatever I have coming to them? They know me better than that. Well anyway, thanks to their stupid little spell, I can now manipulate them, seeing as they can read my 'thoughts'. I can make them do whatever I want!" He laughed


_________________________________________________________


"Well, I guess we're as ready as we'll ever be" Chris said. He and his sister were positioned in fighting stances, preparing for Wyatt's attack, but what actually happened, they had not been ready for. At the stroke of midnight, a large portal opened in front of them.

"What the hell?" Mel asked taking a few steps back from it. Suddenly, the vortex began swirling violently and sucking things into it, including Chris.

"Oh my god!" Melinda yelled out as her brother was sucked in, and the portal closed.

Oh d@mn" she muttered as multiple demons shimmered in before her.

*********************************************************

On the other side of the portal, Chris found himself in a dark, secluded area of forest. He turned around, hoping the portal was still open so that he could go back, but no such luck.

"Hello brother" Chris turned to the bone chilling voice of Wyatt.

"So, was this your real plan? To separate me and Melinda so you could kill me?" Chis asked coldly staring into his brother's eyes. Wyatt laughed,

"Chris, you are so simple minded. Why would I kill you? You could become a great help to me. No, I separated you and our sister, so I could kill her. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go have a chat with our little sister" Chris's eyes grew wide as his brother orbed out.

*********************************************************

When Wyatt arrived at his siblings apartment, he was not surprised that all of his demons were dead.

"Where is Chris? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?" Mel yelled in his face.

"Oh, don't worry about him... he's been.... taken care of" he said with a sly smile. Mel felt her stomach drop. What did that mean? Had he killed Chris? Mel began throwing her power full force at Wyatt, who on the first attempt was blown into smitherines. Melinda stood with a confused look on her face, that had been way to easy. Suddenly she was grabbed from behind.

"That's a nice trick isn't it? Yes, cloning is a new power I have just required, it sure does come in handy" He drew an athame across her neck tauntingly.

"Say hello to mom for me" he whispered into her ear. With that he drove the athame into her stomach and let her drop to the ground.

*********************************************************

Chris paced along the forest ground. He had tried orbing several times, but figured that Wyatt had put some kind of spell over the area. Chris jumped when Wyatt orbed in front of him, holding a bloodied athame.

"No....no..... NO!" He yelled. Wyatt had killed their sister.

" You b@$tard! You son of a b!tch! I WILL KILL YOU! No matter what I will kill you!" He began shooting bolts of electricity like wild fire at his brother. Suddenly a swirl of white orbs appeared, and there was Mel.

"What? You're supposed to be dead!" Wyatt yelled at her. She smirked.

"Wyatt, you didn't actually expect me to go to battle unprepared?" she held up a vile of blue liquid.

"Healing potion? D@mmit!" He orbed off. Chris ran over to Mel and hugged her until she turned blue.

"Oh my god, I was so scared, I thought he had killed you!" Mel smiled,

"Ditto" Chris stared down at the potion in her hands.

"What is that?"

"Oh, it's a healing potion a whipped together. Just put a bit on your wound and it heals it. I call it, whitelighter... in a bottle!" She said playfully holding the bottle like you would on a commercial. They laughed.

"Let's head back, I'm starving!" Chris said. He wrapped his arm around his sister's shoulder and they orbed away.
