Disclaimer: Charmed? Nope not mine, though I do now own a yummy life sized poster of Drew Fuller, so for now that will have to do.
Wyatt formed a fire ball in his hand and prepared to deliver the fatal blow to the witch who had dared defy him. He had been hunting this witch for sometime, and his death would be a relief in Wyatt's mind.
"Wyatt!" his mother's voice shouted at him.
"Sorry mom," said Wyatt, the glazed look he had had on his face vanished, "I just got this strangest flash—"
"Flash?" she asked, "Like what kind of flash? Like premonition flash?"
"No, like a memory, but more like I was there….I was…evil," he said hesitantly and slowly, tilting his head to the side.
"Oh," said Piper slowly. It had happened, the exact moment when the two timelines crossed and changed. That means Chris had just gotten a similar flash, everything Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Leo had hid from them was now revealed. Well we don't have to tell them, said a voice in Piper's head, but another voice said That's hardly fair, and if they figure it out, won't they be mad at us for not telling them sooner? And shouldn't Chris know how brave he was, and shouldn't Wyatt know that his brother risked everything for him?
She sighed and Wyatt said, "What's wrong mom?"
"Nothing," she said quickly, "I have to talk to your aunts and you dad real quick. Don't talk to Chris until I get back."
"Uh okay, not that I could if I wanted to, he's at his new house, remember? That's what all these are for," he said, motioning to the boxes scattered around the room, filled with Chris' stuff.
"Right, just don't go anywhere, promise?" she asked.
"Yeah okay, but when you get back will you explain to me why you are acting so odd?"
"That, and a lot more," muttered Piper. She walked out of Chris' room and down to the living room, "Phoebe! Paige! Leo!" she called. They all orbed over from Chris' new house, where they were helping him set up. "We have problems," she said once everyone was fully formed.
"Did Wyatt have a 'flash' too?" asked Leo.
"Yup," said Piper. "Question is, if they got flashes, then why didn't we?" Suddenly her vision swam and her brain was bombarded with images, demons they had never encountered, people dying they had never known. She was pulled back to reality, she was dizzy and steadied herself. Way to go Piper, she thought to herself.
"Did you guys just get a flash too?" asked Paige.
"Unfortunately, yes," said Phoebe, she had just seen a flash of memory of a daughter she didn't have dying.
"Wow, no wonder Chris wanted to change the future," said Leo quietly.
"Well we knew it wasn't all cotton candy and lollipops," said Paige. Just then Chris orbed in.
"I did it didn't I?" he asked.
Everyone knew what he was talking about but Phoebe asked, "Did what honey?"
"Changed the future! I got another flash, then suddenly I could remember both timelines, Wyatt was evil in one of them. Why did I remember that stuff? I mean, it's not like it's to learn from our mistakes because all that stuff has already happened, and-how come you never told me about this?! I mean, I died in your time and you never bothered to tell me!"
"Chris, just calm down," said Leo, "If you just sit down we'll explain everything."
"Mom!" yelled Wyatt, coming down the stairs, with a look that was confused, angry, and hurt all at the same time. "Evil?! I was evil?! All those poor people, their screams, I can hear them all, as though it just happened yesterday, even the old memories are new! What kind of monster was I?" he asked, putting his face in his hands.
Lilly chose that moment to orb in, "Chris honey, why aren't you at the house?" Lilly was a Whitelighter, she was supposed to have been Wyatt's and Chris', but Wyatt could pretty much take care of himself. She had been assigned to them when Chris was sixteen, and he followed in his mother's foot steps and fell in love with his Whitelighter. They didn't start getting serious until Chris was nineteen, when he was twenty he proposed to her and a few months later they had gotten married. Now two years later they had moved into a house on their own, preparing for their new arrival, Lilly was six moths pregnant. (A/N: I don't know if Whitelighters can get pregnant, but just go with it.)
"Lilly, this is really not a good time, just go back to the house, kay?" asked Chris gently. But Lilly didn't moved, she had sense the pain and confusion radiating off of Wyatt, even she wasn't his active Whitelighter, she was his Whitlighter none the less. She walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, he cringed and moved his shoulder out from under her hand.
"Don't touch me," he whispered, but Lilly didn't move, "I said don't touch me!" he yelled, motioning to throw her into the wall, but Chris reacted fast and used his own telekinesis to save her. "Oh God," said Wyatt with a horrified look on his face.
"What is going on?" asked Lilly shakily, she had never seen Wyatt react like that to anything but a demon.
"I'll explain later," said Chris, "but for right now, please just go back to the house." He then orbed out after his brother.
