Wyatt’s bedroom was a mess, but then Wyatt’s bedroom was always a mess. Clothes were strewn around the room. Even the covers on the bed were crumpled, but they did a fairly good job of covering the topless body of Wyatt Halliwell, so Wyatt didn’t care. And if Wyatt didn’t care, who was to object?
Chris’ room was the exact opposite of his big brother. It was neat, everything its place. Even the sheets covering the sleeping body of Chris Halliwell were neat, which was no small feat considering he was under them.
In the Halliwell Manor only one bedroom was occupied these days. It was shared by Wyatt and Chris’ parents, Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt. Like Chris’ room, it was neat and orderly. In a large bed with the headboard against one of the walls Piper and Leo lay sound asleep. In his sleep, Leo was spooned up against his wife and had his arms around her.
Back in Wyatt’s room the air distorted and formed into a creature with pale green skin. His hair was short, slick, and white. His eyes were an amber color, big and bright. He walked over to the bed where Wyatt lay asleep. As he stopped a few inches from the bed he held up his right hand and held is still as it slowly began to glow red. Once it was bright and pulsing he brought his hand down and held it against Wyatt’s forehead. Several seconds passed and the demon raised his hand. His hand still bright and pulsing, the demon shimmered out.
He shimmered to the other side of the apartment when Chris’ room was. He walked up to the bed, brought down his hand, and held it against Chris’ forehead. Chris stirred in his sleep causing a frown to grow on the demon’s face. When nothing more happened, the demon relaxed and removed his hand. He looked at it and sighed, satisfied. His task there complete, he shimmered out without any more movement from Chris.
This time the demon shimmered across town to the Halliwell Manor. He appeared on Leo’s side of the bed. He walked over to the bed and placed his glowing hand against Leo’s forehead, holding it there for several seconds before removing it.
Instead of shimmering out, the demon walked around the bed to Piper’s side. He stopped there and placed his hand on Piper’s forehead for several seconds. Once he lifted his hand he turned it over to look at the palm.
On the palm of the demon’s glowing red hand were four pale blue circles and four pale yellow circles pulsing even faster than the glow of his hand. He shook his hand causing the circles to merge into one large, pale green circle. He closed his hand and shook it again. When he opened his hand the circles had separated and there were four pale green circles in the place of the large one.
The demon lifted his hand close to his lips and blew on it. Four pale green balls of light whisked away from his hand, two of them landing on Piper’s and Leo’s foreheads, two of them flying out the window, even as the demon shimmered out of the room. In his sleep Leo rolled away from Piper and onto his side.
