Queer as Spell.

Chapter One; The Demon of Homosexuality.
Authors Notes; Hi everyone. I decided to write something out of my normal genre of games. I pulled this idea together quickly and here is the result. Please let me know what you think of it, as I am really not sure myself. All the best guys,

One Afternoon....
“Why are we here Paige?” Phoebe asked.
“Because we need to rescue an innocent.” Paige answered.
“And how do we know an innocent will be here?” Phoebe continued.
“Because I managed to work it out, so don't argue with this system that has worked perfectly and keep it down.” Paige retorted. At that point a man walked from around a corner in the alleyway they were standing, and continued in their direction. Just as he did, a demon appeared and grabbed him. Paige and Phoebe ran in for the rescue. The demon muttered something and went to bite the innocent.
“Hey, demon!” Paige called. The demon looked up in time to see Paige and Phoebe coming. He put his hand out and shot a beam of pink light at them. Paige orbed out of the way while Phoebe dodged.
“”What are witches doing here?” The demon muttered. He pushed the innocent to the ground He teleported in an explosion of pink smoke and was gone. Paige appeared on the ground and looked about.
“Well that was no fun.” Paige said sarcastically to herself. Phoebe regrouped with her and they helped the man to his feet.
“Are you alright?” Phoebe asked.
“Yeah. What was that?” the man asked.
“Don't worry for now. Point is you're safe. But what did he say to you?” Paige asked.
“He said it was time for me to turn to the other side.” He muttered. Paige nodded and Phoebe looked at her.
“Well, we will let you go, but be careful and don't walk down alleyways. It isn't good for you.” Paige said, and the man walked off with a nod and smile of thanks.
“So what demon are we up against?” Phoebe asked Paige.
“One with a serious color mix-up.” Paige answered. She took Phoebe by the hand and orbed them home.
“Aunt Phoebe.” Chris said when they appeared in the lounge. He went over to her. “I missed you. You left before I got home.” he said. Chris was 17 and looked rather handsome. He hugged her and let her go.
“Yes Chris, I know I said I'd help you, but Paige needed help with an innocent and she didn't drop it.” she said. Paige shrugged and walked off.
“So, can you help me with my homework?” Chris asked.
“Homework on dating. I still don't understand it.” Phoebe said. She led Chris to the dining table where he had books set up and Wyatt working quietly at the opposite end of the table. Chris handed her the assignment sheet and she read it over.
“I see. You need to write about love in life. How it effects you personally and how it effects people generally. Okay.” She sat down and started talking to him about what she knew from her many months of Collage and her many years as an advice columnist.
In the kitchen, Piper and Leo were walking around, cooking and talking, getting dinner ready for that night. They learned to always have leftovers, in case Phoebe was going to stay for dinner because of some magical goings-on.
“Leo, I am sure that there is nothing wrong with it.” Piper said.
“Well, there is, and I don't think Paige and Phoebe should have gone alone.” Leo answered.
“Why?” Piper continued.
“Because they didn't research who they might have been up against. So god only knows what they are enduring.” Leo said. Piper walked out on the conversation to look at Wyatt and Chris, and saw Phoebe sitting at the table talking to Chris.
“I daresay Phoebe is enduring a trip down memory lane to high school. She is helping Chris with his homework, which leads me to assume they haven't been home long and that they weren't in massive danger.” Piper finished. She turned back to her big pot full of spaghetti sauce and stirred in some herbs.

In the underworld
A well-sized chamber was dimly lit. In the middle was a cage made of stone. In the cage, a dark-lighter and a tracker demon were kissing. Both men were naked and didn't care what they were doing. They both stopped when they heard someone walk in. They looked at the person who stepped in.
“Continue boys, you have a long time to wait in there.” The demon said. He sat down on a chair that was close to the cage, and watched the two men go at it again. “Many demons and warlocks have been in that cage because of their personal opinions against what I do. But be warned. Being in that cage will twist you forever.” The demon said. “You will be so sexually driven for men that when you step out of the cage and your morality reverts to its normal self, you will remember the power I possess and be very disgusted with yourself,” The demon said.
The dark-lighter had come to the demon a long while ago in need of a favor, and the demon had delivered. Shortly after that, the tracker came to the demon in an attempt to kill him, as he was opposed to the demons ideals. He was put into the cage naked, and had posed sexually until he was joined by the dark lighter, as he had not returned the favor. Now the two men were continuously making love to each other. Sucking, fucking and whatever else they felt compelled to do.
“Now, I have a new target in mind. The Charmed boys. I like them. Really cute and strong. I might just have to turn them. After all, that will distract the sisters long enough for me to be able to take my target. No one disrupts Quarthus.” The Lust demon sat back and started to think up his clever plan.

In the Attic, Haliwell Manor
Paige had spent a long time reading the Book of Shadows. She thought she recognized the demon she saw in the alley, but she just wasn't sure. She flipped through the book to the very end. There was nothing. She sighed. Once again, she had no idea what she was up against. She did her best to update the book whenever she felt it needed it. Taking out demons that were vanquished and putting their notes in a separate book, and adding in new demons as she came across them. But the demon was in neither one of the books. Not the Book of Shadows, not the book of vanquished demons. Nothing.
“Paige, dinner.” Piper called up the stairs.
“Coming.” Paige called back. She closed the book and went downstairs. She found her sisters, children, husband and nephews sitting there waiting for her. She took her seat and began to eat.
“Find anything Paige?” Phoebe asked.
“No. He wasn't in there.” Paige answered
“Don't worry, it's not like it's the first time.” Piper said. “And we have enough resources to find out. Eat now and worry later.” Piper continued. Paige, suddenly discovering how hungry she was, started to eat without another word.

Later on, Paige was still searching the book, but there was no sign of the demon she wanted. She closed the book and then looked around. She had a few other reference books on demons, and decided to look there. There was a knock at the door, and she looked up.
“Wyatt. Whats happening?” She asked. Wyatt, now 18, walked in and sat down next to Paige.
“I finished with my homework, and I thought I would give you a hand.” he offered.
“Oh, honey, thats really sweet of you. I have just started, take a book and look about.” Paige said. She patted the vacant part of the couch and Wyatt sat down.
“Right. So, what are we looking for?” Wyatt asked. Paige looked at him.
“For the one who did not see, open inner eye and the vision run free. Show to him what I was ago, in his mind may the vision flow.” Paige cast her spell on Wyatt. He closed his eyes and saw what Paige had seen. The demon was there, trying to hurt the innocent. Wyatt got a look at the face and the demon, then opened his eyes. He thought for a moment.
“I have seen him before here somewhere.” He said, opening a book and flipping through it.
“Really? That's good.” Paige said. She looked over his shoulder as Wyatt flipped through the pages of the book he was holding. He stopped when he came to the demon. There was the demon's face drawn onto the page, and on the other, a womans face.
“Lust demons.” Wyatt said.
“Is that a bad thing?” Paige asked.
“It could be.” Wyatt said. He read over the page quickly before turning to her.
“We have a problem if he comes after us.” Wyatt said. Paige read the entry to herself.
“I think you're right.” She said. “We need a family meeting about this. It is big.” she said. She put a bookmark in and walked out the attic door, Wyatt on her heels.
“Mummy.” Said a voice, as Paige reached the landing.
“Panya, what are you doing out of bed sweetie?” Paige asked.
“I saw something.” She said.
“Saw what?” Paige asked.
“It was in my window, and it was red and it flew away.” she said. Paige looked at Wyatt, who just shrugged.
“Honey, I want you to go back to bed, and I will be in there shortly.” Paige said. Panya nodded and walked back to her room. Paige turned to Wyatt. “Get your Mother, Auntie and your Brother in the lounge, we need to discuss this.” Paige said. Wyatt nodded and went off to do as he ad been asked. Paige walked into her daughters bedroom, which had been added onto the house when she fell pregnant. Her children were asleep, except for Panya, who sat up in bed waiting. Paige looked around the room. There was nothing.
“Panya, what did it look like?” Paige asked in a whisper as she sat on the edge of Panya's bed.
“It was like a fairy, except it was red, and it had bat wings and horns.” Panya answered. Paige nodded.
“That was an evil fairy known as a Scouter Imp.” Paige said. “They look in on good people to see what they are doing, and tell their bosses what is happening. As you know, Mummy fights a lot of demons, so it is not surprising that they send those little guys around to look in on us, is it?” She explained.
“No Mummy.” Panya answered.
“But they can't attack us, because they are simply not strong enough. So if you see one, don't worry about it. Now go back to sleep, and I will check in on you shortly.” Paige said. She kissed Panya on the forehead and tucked her blankets up around her.
“Goodnight sweetie.” Paige said.
“Goodnight Mummy.” Panya said. Paige walked out of the room and closed the door so only a sliver of light came through. She walked to the end of the hall, out of earshot.
“Bastard Imps.” She muttered, heading downstairs.

In the Underworld.
Quarthus finished looking into his books on spells and turned to the other tools he had in his home. He decided on his plan and then snapped his fingers. Shinning red dots appeared but grew quickly. There were the Imps he had sent to the Charmed Manor. They squeaked at him in Imp and then disappeared.
“Good. I know where to find the boys and the basic layout of their activity tonight. They might be on to me, but I can certainly distract them.” He said. He walked over to an alter he had set up against a wall. Above it was a mirror. Carved at the top were two symbols. One of Mars and one of Venus. He tapped the Venus one and it glowed. A light fell onto the floor and out of the pool of light came a female demon.
“Lesbos, how lovely to see you again, my Sister.”
“Quarthus, brother. So what do I owe the honor?” she asked, straightening out her clothes.
“I need you to go and distract the Charmed ones tonight.” he said simply.
“Are you insane?” She asked. “I cannot stand up to them. I can resist their powers and spells, as we cannot truly die. But do you know how much it will sting?” She said in an angry tone. Quarthus looked her over. She had a very slender figure with short black hair. Her pale blue skin showed off her figure perfectly, and her makeup was perfectly colored to match her skin. Her nails and lips were dark purple, and her eyes were colored purple by nature.
“I know what I ask, and I know the consequences, but I have something for you in return.” Quarthus said. He went to a draw and opened it, taking out a pendant of gold with a purple stone on it. She looked at it with widened eyes. She then took it and examined it closely.
“Where did you get it?” She asked.
“Never mind. Will you help me with this quest or will you not?” He asked. He snatched the pendant off her before she got too distracted by it.
“Fine. I will, but only once.” She said. She took a seat in one of the few chairs and looked at the two demons in the cage. “Men, so simply amused by sex. Women are a lot harder to turn in most respects. But anyway, how will we do this?” She asked.
“At night, when they are sleeping, You will appear before one of them who will start the commotion. While that is happening, I will kiss the boys before they know what is happening. Even if I only get one of them, I will infect the other.” He said. Lesbos nodded. She smiled.
“The Charmed line ending because the sons are gay? I like it. Let us go and prepare.” She said. She disappeared in a flash of purple smoke, and Quarthus stayed behind.
“Indeed.” He said. He snapped his fingers and changed what he was wearing. From basic black clothes, he was now wearing leather pants and boots, and a leather X across his chest, which was held by a silver ring in the middle.
“A feast to last me a lifetime.” He said. He ran a hand through his short blond hair and looked into the mirror to make sure he looked alright.

Haliwell manor, The Living Room.
“Not an option.” Piper said. “I will not have a demon force our hand and alter the sexuality or gender or chastity of my sons. If one of them is naturally gay or anything else, then thats fine, but having them turned is a different matter.” She said.
“I know that.” Paige said. “But the boys are willing to play bait.” She said. She looked at Wyatt and Chris. Their expressions differed dramatically.
“I really don't know Aunt Paige,” Chris said. “I really don't like the idea of guys being with guys.” He continued.
“Well that proves how narrow-minded you are.” Wyatt shot back. “I personally don't care. I am straight, but I don't care if guys love each other.” He finished.
“That is still not a good enough reason to make you bait for the demon.” Piper said.
“What about us, will we be affected?” Leo asked, looking a little panicked.
“No, according to this the demons cannot affect men who have sworn themselves in marriage, and same to the women apparently.” Piper said, tapping the line in the book. Leo nodded.
'So we need a plan.” Paige said.
“And we will get one. We will summon, cage and blow up the demon. But I vote for it to be done tomorrow.” Piper said, yawning. “I have done too much today and I need sleep.” She finished.
“Piper.” Paige said.
“What?” Piper answered.
“What if that is what he wants?” She continued.
“Well,we will have a set of crystals in every room. You and the boys can orb the cages around them, and I will keep blowing him up until he either gives up or has a hole in him.” Piper said. Paige nodded slowly.
“I know your blowing up power is really good Piper, but it isn't all destroying.” Paige said.
“I know, but we will be fine. Now come on, it is after eleven and the boys have school.” Piper said. She ushered them up stairs and onto the second floor.
“Piper, are you sure?” Leo asked.
“I am sure. Now go on before I blow your arse up those stairs. Since you're not magical, it will hurt more.” she said, giving him a look. Leo went up without another word.

Do I have you wanting more? Well, probably not, since I am posting the whole thing after proof reading it. But let me know if you like it.
Shiki.

Chapter Two; A Twist and a Turn
Chris and Wyatt were still awake when everyone else had gone to sleep. Even though they knew the other was awake, there were no words to fill the silence. The boys looked out the window of their shared room, or tried to sleep, or sat up and read. Nothing would let them sleep. There was a sudden crash of glass and the boys looked to the door.
“BITCH!” A voice that sounded like Piper yelled out.
“Be careful.” Wyatt said, as they both got up and went to the door. Chris became impatient for a fight, which was normal for him, and ran out the door, a potion in one hand and an Athame in the other. Wyatt was about to follow when someone grabbed him from behind. Before he could call out to orb the crystals, a pair of lips met his. The taste was passionate. The fire was wild. Wyatt felt himself slipping away into a world where all he wanted was to be kissed by this man. He felt a warm longing for his brother. His kin. Chris was one of the most important things to him, although he'd never tell him, and some days he just wanted to be with his brother.
“Chris!” Called some distant voice. There were footsteps and the kisser was suddenly taken away.
“Wyatt?” The voice asked. It was still so distant. Wyatt felt himself falling to the floor.
“Crystals, circle.” Called a voice, but then there was nothing.

Paige looked at Wyatt. He had fallen down and was either unconscious or asleep. She had made a circle of crystals to try and catch the demon, but he had shielded himself from it and disappeared. Piper appeared on the stairs. She looked in and saw her son on the ground.
“Paige, heal him.” Piper snapped. Paige bent down and tried, but Wyatt wouldn't come to. Leo appeared shortly after, carrying Chris in his arms. Chris was the same.
“What should we do?” Paige asked.
“We need Coop. He could tell if their sexuality has switched or something as such. He helps love of all kinds, so he has to know what to look for.” Piper answered. Paige nodded. She looked at her Nephews one more time and then orbed out to Phoebe's place.
“What do we do with them?” Leo asked.
“Lets put them on their beds and let them rest. It might be a spell-like dream, but I can't be sure.” Piper said. She left them and then went to the attic.
“Auntie Piper?” A little voice asked.
“Panya. What is it?” Piper asked.
“I heard noises.” she said, hugging a doll.
“Don't worry sweetie. Go back to bed and either I or your Mummy will be there shortly. Okay?” Piper said.
“Okay.” She said. She turned and walked back to her room, still with the doll in her hands. Piper looked at the slowly walking figure, a tear in her eye. She wiped it away and went upstairs. She grabbed the book and went downstairs again. She opened it to a page for spell-induced sleep.
“Let these words carry the spell, free the minds of sleeping hell. Awaken now and look at me, say my name and be set free.” Piper read aloud. The boys didn't stir. Leo shook his head.
“Only Coop can answer the questions. Just wait.” he said. A moment later there was a flash of pink as Coop appeared and orbs followed closely as Paige and Phoebe appeared.
“I see.” Coop said, looking at the unconscious boys. “Well, if you give me a minute, I will definitely tell you what is happening.” Coop said.
“Who did you get? Coop or Doctor Phil?” Piper asked. Phoebe put a finger to her lips, telling Piper to be quiet. Coop ran his hands over Wyatt's head and then his heart. He nodded and then turned to Chris, doing the same thing.
“I see whats happened. The demon targeted Wyatt, because Wyatt is the one with the bigger heart. Because of this, Wyatt cares a lot more about Chris then the other way around. In so infecting Wyatt, he was able to infect Chris. If it had been Chris he infected, Wyatt would have been able to resist it until the demon kissed him.” Coop said.
“So how do we reverse it?” Piper asked.
“You don't.” Coop answered.
“Wait. Are you telling me that I now have to face the fact I might not be a grandmother, or that my sons will never have a heterosexual relationship?” Piper snapped.
“I didn't say it wasn't reversible at all. But we need someone to heal them. Do they have girlfriends?” Coop asked. Piper looked at Leo, who looked at Coop.
“Chris does, because he isn't as work-focused as Wyatt. While Wyatt takes girls to dances and social events when they are held, he doesn't have a girlfriend as such.” Leo answered. He stood up and took out a pocket book and flipped through it.
“What is that?” Phoebe asked.
“It is a notebook I have to keep track of some things.” Leo answered.
“Like what?” Piper asked.
“Like what girlfriend Chris has this week and what he is doing for the weekend provided he is not grounded and what Wyatt and I are doing for this Sunday so I don't forget.” Leo said, finding the page he wanted.
“So who is the lucky girl?” Paige asked. “At least, this weeks lucky girl?” she continued.
“This week it would be Melissa. But I can't say for sure. Only Coop can say which girl loves Chris enough to reverse the magic.” Leo handed the book to Coop. He looked through it.
“Only one girl really has enough love for Chris to reverse it, and it is not Melissa. It is Holly.” He said. There was a pause. “She was with him from the third of January to the twentieth of March, and she had true feelings for him, but Chris turned her down when her ex-boyfriend, not true love, punched him and he didn't want to use his powers for personal gain.” Coop said.
“You knew all that from just looking at the book?” Phoebe asked.
“No, I knew because Chris told me. He comes to me sometimes for love advice, and so on. Romancing women. You know what I mean.” Coop explained, going a little quiet.
“Well, lets get her here to heal him.” Piper said.
“Piper, it isn't that easy.” Phoebe said.
“Well why not?” Piper asked, getting impatient.
“First of all,it is nearly two in the morning, secondly, she is hurt by him and thirdly she has to still have feelings enough to want to be with Chris again, and same with Chris for her.” Phoebe said. Piper looked from Phoebe to Coop and back again.
“You two should be love professors, you know that? You could make a killing.” Piper stood up and looked at everyone.
“What?” Paige asked.
“You need to go and check on your daughters.” Piper told Paige, suddenly remembering Panya would still be awake and waiting for her. “And if anyone wants something to drink, ask me now, because I am going for some tea.” She said. She walked out of the room and stopped at the stairs. She looked over her shoulder and saw Paige looking at her daughters. Try though she might, she couldn't fight the tears any more. She walked down the stairs, wiping them away. She stood in the kitchen and started boiling water in the kettle. Leo walked in.
“Piper, honey, whats wrong?” Leo asked.
“I am just so tired. And I am seeing the innocent look in Panya's face as she tries to either comprehend or black out the demons she sees. And I can't help but remember when I was still innocent to all this, and wish I still was some days.” She said. Leo hugged her as she broke down into crying fits. Coop walked in and saw Piper crying in Leo's arms. He and Leo exchanged looks and then he turned and walked out.

The following morning.
The sun rose and multi-colored lights flowed through the conservatory. Piper stirred lightly and then opened her eyes. She had fallen asleep in Leo's arms and Paige was in a rocking-chair, her youngest child, Quinn, asleep in her arms.
“Goodness. What time is it?” Piper asked, looking at her watch. It was seven-thirty. She went upstairs and looked in on her sons. They were still asleep. Nothing had changed. A hand touched her shoulder and it was Leo.
“We need to call school and excuse them today.” Leo said. Piper took another look at the boys and then nodded. She walked away and grabbed one of the house phones. She dialed the school number and waited.
“Hello. Yes, my name is Piper Haliwell, I am calling on behalf of Chris and Wyatt Haliwell. They won't be in today, or they will be very late.” Piper said. The voice on the other end spoke. “Sick? Yeah, you see, I'm not perfectly sure if they will even be getting out of bed today.” she answered. “So I will call the school if things change, and I will provide a medical certificate as always.” Piper said. The voice answered her and then disconnected. “Good morning to you too.” Piper said to the dial tone. She hung up and turned to Leo.
“We need to find Holly.” She said.
“I know, and we will, just go to work and I will work on it with Coop and Paige today.” Leo said. “Now go and get some breakfast on while I check on the boys.” Leo kissed Piper on the forehead and then walked off. He went upstairs and walked into his sons bedroom. He sat on Wyatt's bed.
“I don't care if you come back as homosexuals. I don't care if you come back as trans-genders. Just come back to me.” Leo begged.
“Oh they will, and sooner than you think.” Said a voice. Leo looked around as a hand hit him hard over the head and sent him into a bookshelf. Quarthus stood over him.
“I like family outings, lets make this one as father-son.” He said. He waved his hand and Wyatt and Chris's bodies disappeared an a flash of pink smoke. He grabbed Leo's semi-conscious body and disappeared in another puff of pink smoke. Paige, having been the first to hear the noise, orbed upstairs with crystals in hand. She saw the smoke floating around and took a smell.
“Now if only guys smelled like that in the morning.” She said. She then noticed the missing bodies. “If only they were still here.” She said. She waved away the sweet-smelling smoke that still lingered and orbed downstairs to Piper.
“They're gone.” she said.
“What?” Piper asked, looking shocked.
“Leo and the boys are gone.” Paige said. Piper didn't respond.

In the underworld.
Such a catch as to be deemed worthy of ruling the underworld.” Quarthus said. He looked at the prizes he had. Two sons, still under the transformation, and their father, who was in a magical cage.
“What will you do to my boys?” He asked in an angry tone.
“I will watch them. Nothing is better than losing your virginity to someone you love.” Quarthus laughed. He went to the mirror and re-summoned Lesbos.
“My dear Sister. Here is the pendant as promised.” Quarthus said. He put it around her neck and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled.
“Anytime. Make it good. The Sisters will be here for them soon.” Lesbos warned. Quarthus nodded. With that, in a flash of purple, Lesbos was gone.
“You wouldn't dare?” Leo snarled.
“Do you want to challenge me mortal?” Quarthus asked.
“If it means saving my sons from each other, then yes.” Leo said.
“Very well. Here is the deal. You can fight me with any weapon you choose, no magic. First one down and unable to stand is the loser. If you win, I will set your sons free of my spell before it becomes permanent. But if I win, you must join them.” Quarthus said. Leo looked stunned.
“Whats the matter?” Quarthus asked. “Not so sure now, are you?” He turned and looked at the boys, who were still lying on their backs on the floor and at the two demons who were watching the events unfold and whispering what they would like to do to the boys if they had the chance.
“I need to think about it.” Leo said.
“You have until I return, I need to set a few things up for now.” Quarthus said. He disappeared in a flash of pink smoke. Leo smelled the air. It was a very calming scent. He relaxed a little as the smell took him over. He thought hard about the choice he was about to make.

Haliwell manor; The Attic.
Quaarthus appeared in the attic. He took looked around. He quickly found what he wanted and ran a hand over it. He chanted a quick incantation and be-spelled the scrying crystals. He then went to the map and put a magical block over his location. Hearing footsteps, he disappeared again.
“I don't understand why he would want Leo, after all, he is married to me and he can't undo that. There must be more to this.” Piper ranted. She took the book that had been a reference to the demon in the first place and looked it up again. It didn't help.
“I found this last night on the Internet.” Phoebe said. She had arrived with Coop to help with things after Leo had disappeared. She handed the printout to Piper.
“The demons of lust can be very persuasive. When they threaten something a married man or woman cannot change, they are offered to fight for what he or she wants. If the mortal wins, the demon carries out his side of the deal and doesn't follow through with the threats. But if the demon wins, the man forfeits his marriage protection for twenty-four hours. After the time has elapsed, he is turned back into a straight married man, with only the memories with him.” Piper read aloud. She looked at Phoebe.
“Yeah, I'm sorry, but I didn't think it would be important until after work.” She said.
“Phoebe. My sons and my husband are about to do something nature never intended them to do, and if they do that, I am going to feel very odd about kissing my husband again.” Piper said.
“PIPER.” Phoebe yelled, to get Piper to stop ranting. “Just in case you hadn't finished reading, you will notice that the husband can be turned back upon simply seeing his wife. The boys we can turn back if we can find the girls we need.” Phoebe said. “And in good news, we have found Holly.”
“So what is that long face for?” Piper continued.
“It says here that anyone who has had a Lust demon put a spell on them has only twenty-four hours to be turned back, or else the spell is permanent.” Phoebe finished.

Chapter Three; Battle of the Sex Orientations
Leo waited patiently, focusing what he had learned from the Valkries. What he had done to survive. This time, it would be harder, because this time, he had to do some serious damage, not just knock the fighter down enough that he would give up. He meditated quietly, looking within for the strength.
“Snap out of it.” A voice said. Leo opened his eyes and saw Quarthus standing at the open cage door. Leo stepped out and looked at his sons. They were still out of it.
“When will they awaken?” Leo asked him.
“Well, considering how tired they were when I turned them, probably later today. But that isn't important now. What is important is your fate. Choose your weapon, and you shall have it.” Quarthus said. Leo looked hard at his sons one more time.
“Double-edged sword and shield.” Leo said. Quarthus thought for a moment. He hadn't offered a shield or any other defense as well, but he considered it an extra challenge.
“Very well, here is the sword and shield.” He waved his hand and Leo was given the weapons. Quarthus then put a hand behind him and drew out a ninja sword. Leo looked about.
“Surely we aren't fighting here.” Leo stated. Quarthus shook his head. He waved his hand again and Leo felt himself be teleported. A feeling he hadn't had in a while. When he looked again, he was in an empty Colosseum ring. There was a demon here or there in the stands, but no great crowd. He noticed Lesbos was in the stands as well. Quarthus appeared in front of him.
“Ready Leo?” He asked. Leo put his sword and shield up in an offensive position. Quarthus put his sword up in an offensive as well. Leo charged in. He swiped down, trying to hit Quarthus in the head, and was blocked by his sword. Leo spun the shield around to try and hit the exposed body, but Quarthus was ready for it, and he pushed off Leo's sword in time to block the shield with his sword again.
“Come on Leo, try again.” Quarthus said. Leo ran forward, the sword coming in with a swipe and parry, but Quarthus was simply too good, and he managed to put his sword in the way of Leo's sword strokes. Leo tried hard to get past the defensive sword but it was useless, he hadn't trained enough in weapons to pass a demon if such skill.
“Leo, this has barely making me sweat. Hit me with something real.” Quarthus teased. Leo glared, rage building in him. He stood and took the shield off his arm. He held it for a moment. He then threw at it at Quarthus who dodged it, but was then sliced across the chest by an attack from Leo. Quarthus took up his stance and blocked Leo's enraged attacks, but he missed a movement by Leo and was shoved off balance. Leo threw his sword forward and hit Quarthus in the arm, but the shot was poor and it didn't slice deep.
“That was for Wyatt.” Leo said. He jumped forward and kicked Quarthus over, picked up the sword and sliced over Quarthus' torso again. “For Chris.” Leo yelled before using small attacks to try and parry. Quarthus shoved Leo backwards and then swung out, Leo ducked and stabbed forward and hit Quarthus in the leg. “For me.” Leo finished. He withdrew the sword from the stab and sliced Quarthus's arm again. Quarthus fell to the ground, but stood up again quickly. He looked at the damage, before looking at the enraged Leo.
“Now it's my turn.” Quarthus said. He jumped forward in a fast swinging attack which Leo had just enough time to block before Quarthus took a different swipe. Leo did his best to channel his rage into defending himself, in hope that the cuts would slow Quarthus down, but it didn't seem to be working. Finally, Quarthus ducked suddenly and tripped Leo and then pointed his blade and Leo's throat.
“Surrender to me or I will do the damage that will win me the match.” Quarthus threatened. Leo looked enraged. His sword swung around and knocked Quarthus' away. Quarthus tried to slice down, but Leo had rolled away. Leo's sword came up to try and hit Quarthus in the genitals, but the attack was blocked. Quarthus leaned forward and grabbed the sword hilt and kneed Leo in the chin. Leo went flying, losing his grip on his sword. He went to get up, but two swords crossed at his neck. Leo looked at the swords, then Quarthus, He panted heavily, red in the face and exhausted from all the efforts. Quarthus looked at him.
“Surrender, or I will make you lose the battle the agreed way.” Quarthus said in a more serious tone than last time. Leo looked at him, then nodded his head. His rage subsided and changed to crying, which quickly became uncontrolled. Quarthus threw the swords aside and bent down and hugged Leo, teleporting him back to Quarthus' lair.

Meanwhile; At Haliwell Manor.
“Right, we need to get to the demon before he makes a really bad orgy of our family.” Paige said, walking into the attic, followed closely by Phoebe. Piper looked up from her scrying to her sisters.
“I know, and the crystal already has a location. Not a surprising one either.” Piper said. Paige looked over her shoulder.
“That is a gay bar.” she said.
“I know, and that is where our boys are. So if you don't mind, I would like you to go and look around with Phoebe.” Piper said.
“What will you do?” Phoebe asked.
“Well, did you get Holly here?” Piper asked.
“She is downstairs doing some homework, or so she said.” Phoebe answered.
“Well, I need to go talk to her, and hope this works out.” Piper said. Phoebe nodded and took Paige's hand and they orbed and disappeared. Piper went downstairs to find Holly sitting in the conservatory reading a book. She was indeed a beautiful girl. Slender, olive skin and long brown hair that had grown past her shoulders. Piper came in.
“Hi.” She said. Holly looked up. She had stunning blue eyes and a beautiful face. She had the usual signs of teenage life. A pimple or two, light makeup and a piercing or two in her ears.
“Hello. You must be Piper.” Holly said.
“Yes I am.” Piper answered, shaking Holly's outstretched hand.
“It is a pleasure to meet you. Chris has always spoken highly of you.” she said.
“He has, has he?” Piper asked, tying to hide her surprise.
“Yes, He says he loved a lot of things you did for him when he was growing up. You were strict, but he loves you so much.” She said. “I am glad to finally meet you, although I don't know why.” she continued, her tone going a little soft.
“Well, I want to know how much you loved my son. Not to be mean or anything, just, it is important and it might change a few things around here.” Piper said.
“I loved Chris so much. I still do.” She said straight away. Piper looked at her eyes. She was telling the truth. She knew it instantly.
“Well thats good, because I know Chris loves you too.” Piper said.
“But why did he break up with me?” she asked.
“I will tell you, but you must promise to keep it quiet. Not to tell anyone, even if it is to get one of my sons back for something.” Piper said. Holly nodded.
“Of course. I wouldn't do that.” she said.
“Well Holly, the thing is, we are a family of witches.” Piper said. She was rather used to having to tell people, so she said it rather basically as if it was an everyday occurrence for everyone. Holly shook her head in an attempt to understand what Piper was talking about.
“You'll need to explain.” she said.
“Throw your book in the air.” Piper said. Holly gave her a raised eyebrow. “Just do it.” Piper said. Holly did so, and Piper twisted a hand upwards and the book froze in midair. Holly looked at the paralyzed book.
“Wow. How did you do that?” Holly asked.
“It is what I mean by witch. I have powers, as does Chris, Wyatt, their Aunts and their children. Chris broke up with you because he was afraid of using his magic on your ex-boyfriend, because we can't use our magic for personal gain.” Piper explained. Holly nodded. “I need you to help us because Chris has fallen under a spell that might turn him into a homosexual. The only way to save him is for you to declare your love for him before dawn tomorrow.” She said. Holly nodded again, looking lost for words.
“Where is he?” Holly asked.
“I am not sure right now. I sent his aunts to where our magic says he is, but we might be wrong.” Piper said. Holly looked out the window.
“I knew there was something special about Chris, because it was what drew me to him in the first place. But I didn't know this would be it.” She said. She pulled her knees up to her chest and looked at the garden.
“It is a gift Chris was given to do good with. He has saved us many times, and he has helped us defeat some of the most powerful evil forces in the world. So I need you to help him keep doing that.” Piper said. Just then, orbs appeared and Phoebe and Paige appeared. Holly looked on in awe as the two materialized in the middle of the room. Paige and Phoebe saw her and looked at Piper.
“Oops.” Paige said.
“It is okay, I just finished talking to her.” Piper said. “What did you find?” Piper said.
“A number of guys kissing, a few queens chatting up bartenders but nothing special. I think we have been thrown off. Someone is blocking us.” Paige answered.
“So what do we do?” Piper asked.
“We stopped by Billie's place and asked her for the scrying potion, since we haven't updated the book. We have a bottle of it right here.” Paige said, holding up the vial. Piper nodded.
“Well, lets get moving. Holly, why don't you come with us.” Piper said, holding out a hand, which Holly gingerly took.

In the Underworld.
Leo sat crying in his cell while Quarthus had gone to do a few things.
“Who's there?” a voice asked. Leo looked up and saw Wyatt stirring.
“Wyatt?” Leo called out. “Chris?” Chris stirred and then opened his eyes.
“Where are we?” he asked.
“No time, get me out.” Leo called. Chris looked at the cage and saw his father behind the bars. He used his mind and opened the lock and sprung open the door. Leo ran out and hugged Chris.
“I was so worried you wouldn't come about.” He said. Chris hugged him back.
“It's alright dad.” he said. “I feel fine.” He looked over at Wyatt. “But he looks hot.” Chris said.
“Chris, you need to fight this. You have had your sexuality and morality twisted.” Leo said, turning his son to look at him. “Don't do this.” Leo said. Chris looked at his Dad for a minute, and then fell into his arms for a hug.
“How touching.” Quarthus' voice rang out. Leo looked up.
“What do you want?” he demanded.
“In my lair, in my sides home base and in my quarters, I will do the demanding around here. It is time Leo.” Quarthus said. Leo nodded. He hugged Chris again and then walked over to Quarthus. “Don't try and fight me Leo, or else I will make it painful for your son.” he said. Leo nodded. Quarthus put his hands on Leo's shoulders. “Think of it as expanding your horizons.” He said. He leaned in and kissed Leo. The small kiss on the lips made Leo convulse suddenly. He fell to the ground, writhing in a strange agony. Chris ran over to him.
“WHAT DID YOU DO?” Chris yelled.
“I am making your Dad keep up his end of the bargain. He tried to free you, but he lost, so now he three of you will have a lot of fun.” Quarthus said. He turned to the small central cage where the two naked demons were sitting, masturbating each other while watching the events unfold before them. Quarthus raised his hand and a black cloud floated into the cage, blocking the demons view of everything.
Chris held his father, who had stopped struggling.
“Dad, come on. Talk to me.” Chris said.
“I love you.” Leo said weakly to Chris.
“I love you too Dad.” Chris said. He leaned in and kissed his Dad on the lips. Leo passed out.
“Don't worry, he will be around shortly. Now, why don't you explore your new sexuality with your brother?” Quarthus said. Chris looked around to see Wyatt sitting up and trying to find his glasses.

Haliwell manor.
“Here we go, one reminder spell and one scrying potion.” Paige said. She held up three pieces of paper and the bottle. Phoebe and Piper took a piece of paper and looked at the spell.
“We need you to stand in the middle of the circle Holly.” Piper said. Holly stood in the middle of a circle of candles.
“Will this hurt?” Holly asked.
“No, just a slight tingle, nothing dramatic.” Phoebe said. The sisters looked at the spell and started to read.
“Across the many realms of space, the love is gone without a trace. Send to him the feeling so true, and help him restore his love anew.” From Holly rose a swirl of pink lights and they flew away out the window.
“I hope that worked.” Piper said. “If it reminds Chris that he has love for a woman, then it should delay the process.” she continued.
“Now lets see where he is. Piper, we will need your blood.” Paige said, walking to a cauldron full of potion ingredients that were bubbling quietly. Paige opened the vial and dropped in some of the potion. Piper took an Athame and pricked her finger, letting a small amount of her blood fall into the dish. The liquid stirred then swirled. When it stopped, there was an image of her sons in a cage, They were standing really close and talking, but the position they were in didn't suggest it was brotherly.
:Oh no. We don't have long.” Piper said.
“We need to get there quickly.” Phoebe said.
“But how?” Piper said.
“I'm not there yet.” Phoebe said. She sat down and thought about it. Piper covered the dish with a black cloth.
“I don't want to see this. But I do have something else I have to do.” She said. She went to the circle of candles and re-wrote the spell they had cast a few moments ago.

Chapter Four; Kisses of my Blood
“I know this is wrong, but I don't want to live another moment without being close to you.” Wyatt said. He had a hand behind Chris's head, stroking the base of his skull while the other hand held him at the waist. Chris had his arms over his brother's shoulders.
“I know. And I am so sorry for never acknowledging your love for me. For give me?” Chris asked.
“Always.” Wyatt answered. He leaned forward and kissed Chris fully on the lips. Chris responded straight away, pulling Wyatt closer to him, so their bodies were touching.
Quarthus watched on. He had cast the spell correctly. He had twisted their logic enough to make them forget about Incest until after they ejaculated. And if they did, then the incest spell would wear off, but the homosexual spell would stay. He stroked himself while he watched the boys kissing each other, and then he put the next step into action.
Chris lowered his arms so he was now hugging Wyatt around the waist, pulling him ever closer. Chris was getting deeper into his Brother's kisses every moment that passed. He sudden;y felt a pair of hands hold him from behind. He pulled away from Wyatt to look around, and come face to face with Leo.
“Save some for me.” Leo said. He leaned in and kissed Chris on the lips, while Wyatt leaned forward and started kissing around Leo's neck, finding the sensitive point that would make Leo feel impulses running up and down his spine. Chris pulled away from Leo and started to do the same. Leo pulled Wyatt up and started to kiss him instead. A hand started to rub Leo up, but he wasn't sure who it belonged to. It was rubbing his erect penis in an attempt to get him even harder.
Wyatt slipped a hand down Chris' pants, and found his rear. He grabbed the nearest arse cheek he could find and gave it a good squeeze. Chris moaned quietly. Wyatt looked pulled away from his Dad when he felt someone undoing his buttons. It was Leo. As he undid each button, a perfect torso would slowly reveal itself. Leo looked at Wyatt, but he was too busy being kissed by Chris to notice. Leo got the last button undone and pulled Wyatt's shirt off to the wrist that was down Chris's pants.
Chris turned to Leo. He stopped rubbing his Dad up and started to undo Leo's shirt while Leo kissed his neck. Chris moaned slightly. He finished undoing the shirt and came across an undershirt.
“You and your undershirts Dad.” Chris said. Leo stepped back and took it off.
“Better?” He asked, starting on Chris's shirt. Chris turned his attention to Wyatt, who had been kissing Leo's neck before turning to Chris's. As Leo started stripping Chris of his shirt, Chris turned Wyatt around slightly and started to play with Wyatt's right nipple. Wyatt moaned. Leo interrupted them to get the last of Chris's shirt off, before he leaned in and started sucking on Chris's nipples. Wyatt kissed Chris on the lips to shut him up.
Wyatt ran a hand down his brothers front. When he reached the zip of Chris's jeans, he lowered it slowly, putting a hand into his pants and grabbing his cock. Chris moaned louder. Wyatt kept felling him up until a hand knocked his own away and started to play with Chris instead. Wyatt didn't have time to look down because he felt a hand grab his crotch and start to rub him up. Next thing he knew, his zip was being lowered and his cock being pulled out of his underwear. A hand was slowly jerking him off. His long uncut cock throbbed with every pull.
Leo was on his knees to his sons. He was sucking Chris off ever so slowly, with his other hand pulling Wyatt off. When he was ready, he swapped, starting to suck Wyatt off instead. From above, he could hear a lot of moans and hisses as he kept doing what he was doing. Leo sucked hard on Wyatt before going back to Chris.
Chris looked down and saw his Dad sucking him. He loved it, although he really wanted to taste some cock for himself. He looked at Wyatt, who seemed to be thinking the same thing. Together, they removed their pants and underwear, doing their best not to accidentally kick their Father. When they were both completely naked, they grabbed their Father by the armpits and pulled him to a standing position, both kissed him on the cheek and then started to kiss their way down his body. Over his neck, nipple, abs and down to his pants. As their hands scrabbled to undo his pants and lower them, Leo put a hand on their heads. All thoughts gone, only the pleasure remaining. When he felt his pants being removed, he felt two hot mouths come onto his cock. One was sucking the head of his penis, while the other was sucking at the base, licking frequently the give a sensation like none other.
After Chris and Wyatt had sucked their Dad for a while, Leo came down to his knees, equal with them and hugged them both. They fell to the floor, a big hug, kissing whatever exposed flesh came near their mouths and hands running over another body.
Wyatt looked at Chris, a longing of closeness still not satisfied. Chris looked back at Wyatt, understanding dawning.
“You want me inside you, don't you?” Chris asked slowly. Wyatt nodded, felling somewhat guilty.
“I love you so much, and I want us to be together for a long time.” Wyatt answered.
“My sons, getting together so much, the closeness of it all. I love you two.” Leo said.
“We love you too Dad.” Chris said. He looked at Wyatt.
“Me too Dad. You're the best man I could ever love.” Wyatt answered. Leo smiled and nodded. Wyatt looked at Chris and then rolled over, sticking his arse into the air. Chris looked at his Dad. Leo smiled as he showed Chris what to do. He helped Chris get comfortable and then helped him put his cock inside Wyatt. There was a scream of pain as Wyatt felt his anal passage rejecting the invading force. He relaxed and Chris slowly got in. He started to fuck his brother slowly. Wyatt started moaning. Leo lay down next to Wyatt and started to kiss him. As he did so, he came up with an idea. He slowly moved himself so he and Wyatt could be comfortable. He was right under Wyatt and started to suck his dick. Wyatt started to suck his father off.

A flash of blue light and orb noises announced the Charmed Ones orbing into the chamber. They saw the three men together and screamed in horror.
“Paige! now!” Piper said, trying not to cry.
“Leo.” She called. Leo orbed away and landed, butt naked, in front of the girls. Leo looked at Piper, and it all came back to him.
“No.” He said in absolute horror. “I didn't.” He said. “NO!”
“Home.” Paige said. Leo disappeared in a cycle of orbs and was orbed safely to his bedroom.
“How do we break them up?” Phoebe asked.
“We need to call the spell we cast earlier, because it clearly didn't get here.” Piper said. They turned their backs on their sons.

“Oh god Chris, I am so close. Pull me off.” Wyatt said. Chris leaned forward and started to pull his Brother's dick. It didn't occur to them that they were being watched. Chris sat Wyatt up, still with his cock up his arse and started to pull Wyatt off. He moaned loudly and ejaculated in the space in front of him. Wyatt bent over again as Chris kept going.
“The spell we cast that lost its way, come to us and find your prey. We call the spell we cast before, come to this place we do implore.” Paige said. The pink lights that had left Holly some time ago floated in from the ceiling and hit Chris square in the heart.
“What's this?” he asked. He looked at his brother and then at his Mother and Aunties. He felt the love he had for Holly coming to the surface again.
“Holly. Oh no. I love you Holly.” Chris said. He pulled out of his Brother, but then passed out onto the floor. The spell had done its job. Wyatt looked at his Brother as comprehension dawned on him and the spell Quarthus cast faded.
“No. We didn't. I wouldn't have.” Wyatt felt tears building and then orbed away before anyone could talk to him.
“What happened here?” Quarthus asked, looking in from another part of his home.
“Vengeance.” Piper said. She moved her hands in an attempt to blow him up. Quarthus was hit but the spell bounced off him. Phoebe threw a potion she had at him, but it didn't work either. Quarthus disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke and was gone.

Haliwell manor; that evening.
Leo had not come out of his room all day, and nothing Piper said or offered would make him change his mind. Chris had been in his room talking with Holly since their return and he had calmed down a fair deal. But Wyatt had disappeared. He had orbed in to his room and quickly put clothes on but then disappeared again.
“We can't find him anywhere.” Phoebe said to Piper.
“We have scryed but the crystals have been magically rigged. And the scrying potion isn't coming up with anything either. I don't have any other way. He isn't answering to summons either.” Paige explained.
“None of his friends have seen him either.” Piper said, putting the phone down. “And Coop is not picking up his heart and love either, which I blame the demon for.” she finished.
“Maybe we need him to get Wyatt back.” Paige said. She looked at the others.
“No, he has almost destroyed this family, he won't be allowed that opportunity again.” Piper snapped.
“Well, then I have another option.” She went upstairs and came back with a potion and a box of crystals.
“What are these for?” Piper asked.
Well, we are going to summon him, freeze him and then trap him. He can't die and this is the most powerful potion we have after your exploding power. And I found a few other potions we haven't touched in ages. So lets torture him for fun.” Paige said.
“She's rambling.” Piper said to Phoebe.
“But she has a point.” Phoebe answered. “Accordingly he is no more powerful than a lot of other demons have been, and there are few demons left that are immune to our powers.” Phoebe continued.
Piper nodded. “Fine. But I will never forgive you if Leo or Chris do what I saw them doing again.”
“I want to help.” Came Chris's voice. The sisters looked around to see him with Holly on the stairs.
“Fine. Well, come on over and take a potion.” Paige said.
“It's fine, I have one of my own.” Chris said, holding up a vial of cloudy black potion.
“What is that?” Piper asked.
“You'll see.” Chris answered. He looked and Holly and she nodded.
“Lets summon him.” Paige said. “Everyone ready?” She looked around. Everyone nodded.
“I call upon another way, in a being who is gay. Come to me and you queeny dame, come and play this magic game.” there was a flash of white lights and there was Quarthus. Before he could get his head around what had happened, Piper froze him.
“Hurry, he won't hold for long.” she said.
“Crystals, circle.” Paige said. The crystals orbed into place around Quarthus and the cage came into focus. Piper reversed her freeze and Quarthus looked about.
“What can I do for you?” he asked.
“Look at this bottle.” Chris said. Quarthus did.
“Nice color. I never make my potions look that good. Must be a charmed line thing.” Quarthus answered.
“It is an element-less magic potion. Its effects is that of a power hardly given to any witch or warlock. It will blast you with a power that no magic can shield, and I am wiling to bet that you will not survive it.” Chris explained. Everyone looked at Chris.
“Where did you get that?” Phoebe asked.
“Talk to Grams.” Chris answered. There was a silence. Quarthus looked at the potion and considered his options.
“What do you want?” He asked.
“Where is my brother, how do we find him?” Chris asked.
“Is your scrying crystal not telling you? I undid the spells I put on them.” Quarthus answered. Everyone looked at Paige.
“It was the same club we went to before.” Paige said. “How was I supposed to know he reversed it?”
“Well, if you want him, he will be looking for some answers within himself. You will find him in the gay bar.” Quarthus continued.
“Why did you do this to us?” Piper asked. :My husband is distraught and my son is missing. You will wait here while Paige and I go and find him.” She said. She hooked Paige by the arm and Paige didn't argue. A moment later they were in an alleyway near the bar. There was no queue and the place was quiet. Piper and Paige walked into it and looked about. Wyatt was sitting in the darkest corner with a drink and his back to the door. Piper and Paige looked at each other. Piper nodded.
“I'll get him to orb me home or I'll call.” Piper said. Paige nodded and left. Piper walked over to the table and sat down. Wyatt didn't look up.
“Hi honey.” Piper said.
“Hi Mum.” Wyatt said.
“How are you?” Piper continued.
“Feeling guilty and worried.” Wyatt answered.
“We were worried about you.” Piper continued.
“I know, but I needed some time to myself.” Wyatt answered. He finished his drink and put it down. Piper picked up the glass and sniffed.
“Don't worry Mum, it's only cola.” Wyatt said. “I wouldn't go getting drunk on a school night.” he said. Piper smiled lightly.
“Why don't you come home and we can talk about this as a family.” Piper offered.
“No.” Wyatt said quickly.
“Honey, look, I know...” Piper started.
“Do you?” Wyatt asked. “I am sure, I am positive that you, and Auntie Paige and Phoebe don't mind. Chris has many girls and he will be happy. But I am worried about him and Dad. How can I ever look at him again? And the spell has won out. I am homosexual, and I don't know if Dad will accept that.”
“Well, he is going to have to.” Piper answered. “So is Chris. But at the same time, we all need to focus on what is important, and that is that you are still you.” Piper said. Wyatt looked up.
“I know And I am not saying I feel different, except for this change of views, but then again, I feel like it has been this way all my life, and that I never really had a girlfriend.” Wyatt continued.
“Well, I want you to come home and try and deal with this. Your Father is in his room, and not even I can get him to come out. Chris has been talking to Holly all day, and while I think he is a little nervous and upset about what happened, he now knows that you really do care for him.” Piper said. Wyatt nodded.
“Okay. I'll take us home.” Wyatt said. He walked his mother out of the door and into the alleyway. He orbed home to where everyone was waiting for him. He was not impressed to see Quarthus in a crystal cage.
“I have worked something out.” Phoebe said. “If Wyatt drinks the potion, it will up his explosion power. So he can possibly vanquish this demon.” she said. Wyatt took the potion from Chris and looked at it.
“Its okay.” Chris said. “According to Grams, it will only explode if it is in a small break, like a vial smashing.” Chris passed the potion and Wyatt drank it. He looked at his hands and they were smoking black mist.
“Freeze him.” Wyatt said to his Mother. Piper did so. Paige kicked a crystal away and everyone stood back. Wyatt took aim, brought his hands up and cast an explosion at Quarthus. He unfroze but nothing seemed to have happened. Suddenly, everything turned dark. Dark lights moved in towards Quarthus and formed a little ball right in his chest. From there a shock wave blew out from it, and then another and another. Each expanding into a giant bubble, getting bigger and bigger until they faded. Quarthus screamed with each and every ripple until he exploded. Wyatt looked at the scorch mark left on the floor.
“Is he dead?” Piper asked.
“I can't be sure, but it would be a good guess that if he wasn't, he won't be bothering us again.” Wyatt said.

The following morning. The kitchen
Piper sat at the table buttering toast and making a pile for everyone to help themselves. She had tried again to talk to Leo and get him to come out, but he still refused. Piper had taken him food and left him to sleep on his own for the night, spending her night on the couch. Chris came in looking rather tired, but happy.
“Good morning.” Piper said. She hugged Chris and passed him the toast.
“Morning Mum. How's Dad?” he asked.
“Not so good. He still hasn't come out of our room, and is even planning his retirement in there.” Piper said.
“Seriously?” Chris asked. Piper gave a look, followed by a smile. Chris smiled as well.
“But I can understand it. So I spent some of last night working on a way to help him.” She said.
“Oh, do tell?” Chris said, as he ate a piece of toast ad poured himself some orange juice.
“Well, long ago, when Leo became an Elder, he offered to take my pain away and return it bit by bit so I could deal with it. So I think I might do the same.” Piper said. Chris nodded.
“Cool. Well, as long as we have Dad back, I don't care.” Chris said. “And Wyatt and I have talked. We agreed to spend a bit more time together as friends, not just brothers.” Chris continued. “And that way he doesn't feel like I am rejecting his love.”
“I'm proud of you for doing that.” Piper said. Paige came downstairs with her three children in tow.
“Morning everyone.” She said, and a few minutes were spent as kisses and hugs were handed out from the children.
“Hows things?” Paige asked.
“Fine.” Piper said. “We have it all worked out except for one thing.” she told Paige.
“Oh, whats missing?” Paige asked.
“Look around. Who is usually in here with me?” Piper said. Paige realized what was wrong.
“Is Leo still going on about this?” She asked. Piper nodded. “Well, I am going to...”
“Listen to what I have planned and then co-operate.” Piper said. Paige nodded.
“Exactly.” She passed toast around to her children and then grabbed some milk.
“Okay kids, eat up because you have to get to school.” Paige said. The kids left the kitchen with toast in hand and milk in glasses, as they went into the lounge and sat around the television.

Epilogue
Piper cast the spell on Leo, who learned to accept what had happened. He accepted over time that he had been forced into what he did, and he couldn't have gotten out. He mended things with Wyatt and Chris, and they didn't ever raise the subject again.

Paige spends a lot of time with Wyatt and some of his newer gay friends that he made after graduation. They hang out and go shopping, and Paige offers them all advice on how to deal with their lives. On some days, Phoebe joins them. Needless to say, she is very popular with the boys. Her advice never leads them wrong.

Piper accepted her first-born was a homosexual and while she regretted that her grandchildren might not be as powerful as she would like, she still has hopes for her grandchildren to be good.

Chris didn't end up with Holly, but another witch from his University he met by pure chance. Holly and Chris are still friends, and they see each other often.

Wyatt took some time off to work out his orientation correctly, and then got back to his studies. He eventually met up with a white-lighter who was homosexual, and the Elders tried to stop the relationship. Needless to say, there were some power struggles.

The Haliwell family line continued from Chris and Wyatt. Chris had two children, a daughter and a son. Wyatt and his boyfriend had two children through witches who agreed to have their children. Wyatt had a son, and his partner had a daughter. The Charmed Ones allowed each magical member of their children's lovers into their lives with open arms, and soon, the Charmed Covern took on more and more power, creating a high concentration of magic that no force of evil tried to mess with. So as you can see, even with a homosexual in your life, things might just turn out for the better.

As for Quarthus, he did survive the potions effects, but he was seriously weakened and he didn't surface for a number of years until he was strong enough to survive most magical attacks. He certainly didn't mess with the Charmed line again. His many brothers and sisters roam the lands, making peoples sexuality or morality change for the demons sexual desires. Quarthus, however, became more careful in the future, and never went after a witches child again.

The End
