Chapter 3: Secrets.

Three hours later and the whole family was sitting in Wyatt and Bianca's bedroom watching the sleeping figure that lay there. He hasn't moved an inch since they came into the room. Wyatt was pacing nervously, casting regular glances at his sons sleeping figure. When all of a sudden they heard a loud crash from upstairs.

They all looked up towards the attic, but no-one wanted to leave Chris unprotected in the room. Phoenix had the solution. She orbed the crystals into her hand and then lay them around the bed, ready for to place the last one down when they left the room.

Reluctantly everyone left looking back at Chris over their shoulders. When they reached the attic they were all really pissed at being forced to leave him defenseless. What they saw there was a group of 9 demons with weird faces. Deep gorge marks littered their foreheads. "Who are you? What do you want?" Wyatt growled lighting a fireball in his hand.

"Who we are doesn't matter. We are here for Christopher." Answered the leader.

Wyatt was furious. NO-ONE threatens his son and gets away with it. He launched the fireball but to his amazement nothing happened. It disintegrated before it reached them. Now the whole family was angry.

Everyone launched their own powers at them. Freezing, astral projection, molecular acceleration, fireballs, plasma balls every power that the Halliwells possessed were launched at them. But nothing touched them.

"Stupid mortal!" Bellowed the leader. "No magic can beat us!" With that all of the demons pounced onto a member of the family. It was a matter of minutes before they were all captured and wiggling to get free without the aid of their magic. "Tut tut!" The demon said waving a finger at the captured group. "If you keep fighting you will only make it harder for young Christopher." With that they all stopped and stared at the man in horror. They couldn't help Chris if they were defenseless like this.

"That's better." Smirked the demon before snapping his fingers. Several things happened simultaneously. The Halliwells found themselves locked in a dark equivalent of a crystal cage: with the demons outside, a large stone similar to the one that holds Excalibur landed in the middle of the attic, and then Chris landed ontop of the stone. Still completely out of it.

"Chris!" Wyatt yelled as he ran into the force field and gave all of his family an electric jolt.

"Let my baby go!" Bianca shouted furious at the intruders.

"But I have a present I want to give him." The leader said with a mock pout. All the others snickered at him. "Now you all get to watch your precious son die." Ignoring the protest and tears of the trapped family. He walked casually over to the unconscious teenager and pulled a dagger from his waist belt. Waving it in front of Chris's face he watched the faces of Wyatt as his fury came to the surface. Smirking the demon turned back to Chris. "What a waste he is a very pretty boy?" He said. "I'll have to make use of him before we kill him. Whadd'ya think boys?" He asked the rest of the demon's completely ignoring the outraged family.

The demon smirked at them and then moved his hand so it was hovering above Chris's family jewels and his head above his face ready to go in for a kiss. Lowering them simultaneously he closed his eyes.

Just at that moment Melinda and Phoenix screamed in horror "CHRIS!".

Like a shot in the dark Chris's eyes popped open. Unknown to the demons in front of him. He took less than a second to notice what was happening. His arms shot out from their positions at his sides. His right hand tightened around the demons throat causing it to snap its eyes open in shock, while simultaneously his left hand grabbed the demons other hand stopping it from moving any further.

Gasps filled the attic from all of the occupants. The Halliwells in relief. The demons in shock.

Chris took everything in his stride. Looking deeply into the demons eyes he held him in the same place not letting him move an inch. "Now that's not very nice."He said. As soon as those words were out of his mouth he lifted his right leg in the air, kneeing the demon in the face and causing him to go flying around the room due to the force of the impact. At the same time Chris did a back flip off the stone so he was standing facing all of the demons with his back to his family.

The only sounds filling the attic were the demons fury, and the sound of all of the Halliwells jaws dropping simultaneously.

Chris noticed neither. He was facing the lead demon, his face stoic. "Dackric." He said in greeting before changing to a fighting stance.

Dackric looked up into Chris's eyes from his position on the floor and growled "Slayer!"

A/N. What do you think? Is it any good. Or should I just stop what I am doing and save myself the bother.
