Room 306, later Tuesday Morning
After the attack by the spider demon in the Preserve, Wyatt, Chris, and Prue hit the Book of Shadows to find out more about what they were up against.
"The Book really needs a table of contents," Wyatt muttered as they flipped through the pages in search of an entry on spider demons.
Prue"Tell me about it," Prue said, frowning. Of course right now she just hoped there was an entry on them. So many things they had seen in Fandom weren't in there.
Chris"I've been trying to figure out a way to index it," Chris admitted.
WyattWyatt snickered. "Why am I not surprised?" he said.
PruePrue chuckled a bit herself. "How's your arm, kid?"
Chris"It's fine," Chris said, pacing a little.
Wyatt"Dude, our ancestors should've been more OCD," Wyatt said, continuing to look. "Wait, here it is. Spider Demon. An evil creature that emerges from its hidden lair every hundred years, to capture and feed off the most powerful and magical demon it can detect. " Wyatt glanced at his aunt. "I guess it thought you would be a good snack."
Prue"Figures. At least it went after me and not you guys," Prue said, going over to the book to read the page herself. If it was in the book then that meant there was probably a way to get rid of it. While the demon couldn't kill her, it would be kind of annoying to be spider food for eternity.
Chris"Is there a vanquishing spell or potion or something?" Chris asked, trying to read over Wyatt's shoulder as he absentmindedly rubbed his arm.
WyattWyatt was busy pouting for a moment. "Why didn't she come after me?" he said.
PruePrue resisted the urge to thwap her nephew over the head. They'd have to work on that ego problem later. For now she gave the simplest answer. "If the demon fed off of you, Wyatt, you'd die eventually. I wouldn't."
ChrisChris rubbed his temple. "How do we stop it?"
Wyatt". . . point," Wyatt said. He glanced back down at the Book. "Vanquish potion right here. So we cook it up and introduce the spider to the Halliwell version of Raid."
PrueA short time later the Halliwells had a vanquishing potion brewing and they were one step closer to getting rid of the spider demon.
"It's looking good," she said, leaning over the pot they were mixing the potion in. "Just keep stirring it."
ChrisBy this time, Chris had gotten rather distracted. The scratch on his arm was bright red and he was scanning the floor, looking for something.
"Here," he said, picking up a potion vial. The glass stuck to his hand for just a moment before he handed it over to his aunt.
Wyatt"Dude, did you not have your morning caffeine or something?" Wyatt said, noting his brother's distraction.
PruePrue took the vial from her nephew and looked at him worriedly. "Yeah, you're not looking so good."
Spider DemonChris didn't get a chance to answer, because at that moment, a spider crawled in to the room and transformed into the demon, shooting webbing in Prue's direction.
Wyatt"What the. . . ?" Wyatt snatched up the vanquishing potion and threw it at the demon.
Prue"Whoa!" Prue barely managed to dodge the webbing. She turned around quickly to see if Wyatt had managed to vanquish it.
ChrisWith one hand, Chris reached out and snagged the potion before it could hit the demon.
Spider DemonThe demon gave a snarling grin in Prue's direction and aimed more webbing at her, intending to pin her to the wall.
Wyatt"Dude!" Wyatt said, staring at Chris in confusion. "What the hell are you doing?"
PruePrue found herself pinned down to the wall with webbing. She stared at her nephew in shock. "Chris! Throw the potion!"
ChrisChris's eyes went red and he orbed the potion away.
Spider DemonThe demon continued to shoot webbing at Prue, until she was fully cocooned.
Wyatt. . . leaving Wyatt facing both the spider demon and his apparently possessed brother. He moved in front of Prue's cocooned body. "Chris, dammit, snap out of it," he said. He didn't want to hurt him but he had to protect his aunt.
Chris"Snap out of what, big brother?" Chris asked, his red eyes flashing.
Wyatt"Right, you're absolute fine and this is such a good look on you," Wyatt snapped. Keeping one eye on Chris, he flicked his fingers to TK the remains of the potion in the pot toward the spider demon. The pot splattered harmlessly on the wall as the demon turned back into spider form and skittered away. Wyatt lunged toward her, trying to push by Chris and step on her before she got away.
ChrisChris blocked his brother's way, allowing the spider to escape freely. "You really don't want to do that," he warned, his voice hollow.
Wyatt"I am so kicking your ass!" Wyatt said. "What the hell is wrong with you? You let her get away!" The spider demon must've infected Chris somehow. Okay, step one, get Prue off the wall. Step two, despiderify Chris. Step three, find the spider demon and make her pay for screwing with his family.
Chris"You can try," Chris said, his eyes shining as he primed for the fight.
Wyatt"Sorry about this," Wyatt said, then threw a punch at his brother's jaw.
ChrisChris went down like a ton of bricks.
Wyatt"Dammit," Wyatt muttered to himself. He picked up Chris and dragged him into the bathroom, setting him in the tub before locking the door. He moved over to his bewebbed aunt and poked at the silk cocooning her. The webbing zapped his hand and pushed him back. "Perfect," he said, digging his cell phone out of his pocket. He had to make some calls for help dealing with this.
