Chapter 10

New York, Diners, and … Max?

~ Chris ~

Why do I have to do everything? I mean Wyatt is the Twice blessed- why couldn't he have just went on this damn vanquish without me? Now we are both stuck in New York City without our powers, because something stupid is going on somewhere and everyone lost all their powers, and now- because of my useless brother we are stuck here and I'm pissed!

So as I was saying now we are stuck in some part of New York, this place looks even worse than, well most of San Francisco. "Wyatt why did you have to drag me with you here?, I have classes that I need to be at tomorrow- and well the rest of the week for that matter, Now I'm gonna miss them because we are stuck in some fucking place called…" I started to trail off looking around for any sign of where we actually are right now "Williamsburg, whatever that is, and we have no powers whatsoever to go along with that" I finally say as I notice a sign on the corner of the street

"Well maybe if you stop your bitching and helped me find someone who can tell us how to get back to San Francisco, we can get the fuck home and find out what the hell is going on with our powers" Wyatt all but screamed at me, I looked him right in the eye and yelled back at him, "Wyatt, Listen, and Listen Good! I'm not going back to the house when we find our way home, I left to go to college so I could get away from all the magic and the evil that we have to face every single day" he started to get that look on his face that said he was guilty "I think I deserve a little bit of a normal life, Don't you? Is that too much to ask for?" I decided that maybe I should probably stop yelling at Wyatt, I knew that he didn't deserve to be yelled at like this but once I got started I couldn't stop until it was all out there, and now that it was I couldn't help but feel so bad for everything I was saying to him.

~ Wyatt ~

I knew Chris was right, he did deserve at least a semi-normal life, Chris had gone through so much throughout his whole life in high school, he really needed it.

"Yes Chris, You do deserve a normal life' Chris looked at me, I could tell he was feeling guilty about yelling at me. "Look, let's just find our way home and we will talk about it then" Chris nodded and turned around started to walk in the direction of this diner across the street from us "Let's go look in this diner and see if we can find someone who can help us" he told me stating the obvious- as he usually does, so I agree with him and start walking with him inside the diner.

As we walking inside the diner my cell phone starts to go off, I grab my phone from my back pocket and check to see who is calling, when I look at the screen it turns out to be my mother calling. "I'll be outside Chris- mom is calling" Chris nods to me and walks toward some old black man who is standing behind the register

We walked inside of the diner, hoping to find out how we can get back home, I hear Wyatt's iPhone go off and I turn around to look at him, wanting to find out who was calling "I'll be outside Chris- mom is calling" he told me so I just nod, turn around and start walking towards the register so I can find a way home.

"Excuse me mister" I say to this old guy just standing behind the register who was talking to some young chick with black hair, they both look at me, I see this girl roll her eyes at me with annoyance "Yes?" the guy says to me "I was wondering if you could tell me where the bus station is, me and my brother need to go back San Francisco" "I'm sorry, but the busses are shutting down at the moment, there is a big snow storm coming and there will be no transportation out of New York until next week"

"What is going on?" Wyatt asked as he came up from behind me "Well, Wyatt ummm what's your name?" I asked the cashier "his name is Earl, I am Max and we are lovers" The girl- Max told us, all I can hear from behind me is Wyatt asking her if she is serious or not "No she isn't, she is just kidding- being her typical self" another girl- a blonde one told us while walking our way "I'm Caroline, it's nice to meet you" well, she seems friendly "Hi Caroline I'm Chris and this guy behind me is my brother Wyatt "Hello" Wyatt and Caroline both told each other "So what was it you wanted to know?" Caroline asked now looking back at me "Oh we just wanted to know if there was any way we could get back to San Francisco, but Earl told us the busses aren't running anymore, so… I guess that we are just going to have to get a hotel room somewhere until the busses start running again" " Okay have fun!" Max said to us and turned around going into the back room.

Well then, that was interesting, It has been a few hours since our meeting at the diner and now we are just walking around looking for a place to stay the night. Neither of us have said much to each other since we left and it is a little bit too quiet for me, so I decide maybe I should start a conversation with him, so I was just standing beside my brother- both of us quiet when I remembered that Wyatt got a call from our mother earlier. "Hey Wy-" I started, he didn't respond so I looked at him to see if he was even listening. He just stood there looking at me as if to ask what I wanted "What was it that mom wanted?" " Oh ya, I forgot about that" Of course he did, "Mom wanted to ask what was going on, apparently they kept calling us" I just looked at him for a few seconds until I realized he wasn't talking about on the phone "Um Wyatt- Doesn't mom know that our powers are down?, I mean they really should, it's not like anyone has them."

"Ya about that-" "Okay what's going on?" Now I'm getting a little bit confused if everyone's powers are down why didn't they realize we wouldn't be able to hear them? "So mom asked me why we weren't answering when they called so I told them about our powers, and apparently- It was only us that lost all power"

"What the hell are you talking about Wyatt?" I said raising my voice a little "Did you not notice the demon we were fighting lost all of his powers too?"

"No Chris, by us I don't mean just you and I, By us I mean all of New York. The Elders are looking into it as we speak but as of earlier today any magical creature that takes a step into New York will lose all power" Wait! Did he just say- I mean All of New York "So then what we leave New York and we get our powers back" as I said that I remembered that right now- In the middle of winter we are outside, in the open, late at night talking openly about our magic "Um Wyatt, maybe we should continue talking about this somewhere… alone!" After I mentioned this Wyatt looked around and paled "Oh dear god, I hope nobody heard us"
