Thanks to everyone who reviewer, hope you enjoy…
Having become really unsure of himself Wyatt had quickly made an excuse to leave and left his younger brother staring after him unsurely. He had always been told in his time how a version of his brother from another future had gone back to save him from a great evil but every time he had attempted to find out more the subject was changed. He'd known from then how a family secret from the past was hidden carefully from him.
His parents had explained how Chris of that time hadn't revealed his identity and how he suffered as a result. Wyatt could now understand why his parents were protective of Chris and why they always attempted to get him to show his emotions.
Wyatt knew that his Chris couldn't recall any of the memories from that past future version of himself but from what his parents told they were quite similar.
Him and his brother had always got on really well, that was, until Chris' 23rd birthday. Wyatt figured that was the day he received all the memories of his previous self though was unaware of the reason for why that day.
That had all happened a week before Wyatt cast a spell to go back in time to help his brother who had helped him. The week following Chris' memory gain had caused him to do this. Chris had completely changed after that day, the close relationship they had was completely shattered. Though Chris tried to hide the new truths whilst trying to separate them, the change in him was evident. He avoided all his family at every given opportunity and any communication between them had disappeared. This was most evident with Wyatt and as a result Wyatt had travelled in time to try and aid his brother in the past in order to help him with the future he deserved.
Wyatt began to link Chris behaviour from in his time and in this time. He drew one conclusion from each of the versions; whatever happened in the past had caused Chris to distance himself as much from Wyatt as possible. The main thing that troubled him was the common emotion all three versions of his brother had displayed to him: fear. He decided that this must mean something that happened in the past had caused his brother to fear him immensely.
Wyatt had been so lost in thought that when he glanced up he finally noticed the presence of the person of his thoughts. He sat wrapped in his cover on the seat near Wyatt's.
"You were in the dream," Chris started unsurely, watching Wyatt for a response.
Wyatt nodded mutely, having already realised that.
"…Evil…he was hurting people…a lot…" he continued nervously, though new the importance of revealing the information.
Wyatt wanted to gasp, as he felt himself want to breakdown at the very thought but at the moment he couldn't. He had to focus on his brother in order to obtain the rest of the information.
Chris had gone mute after that and looked ashamed at the thought of having associated that man with his brother. He looked up at his brother who still seemed to be processing the information. Chris could see he wasn't taking this very well and regretted having mentioned any of it.
"It wasn't you." Chris stated suddenly, strength behind his words that caught Wyatt's attention.
"It wasn't." Chris repeated again adamantly knowing Wyatt was doubting his words.
Chris somehow felt that Wyatt needed this information, it would have been wrong to lie and somehow this news was going to make a positive difference in the end.
Seeing that Wyatt needed some comforting Chris got up from his seat and went and sat right next to him.
Wyatt wanted to question that, did Chris not know fear him and want to get as far away as possible from him?
As thought answering the unvoiced question Chris began shaking his head before looking up at his brother with admiration.
"It wasn't you," he claimed confidently, "I know that know, you wouldn't do them things."
His innocent honest words seemed to spark some hope within Wyatt. Despite having yet come to terms with this information he would rather completely block, one look at his younger brother established the positive foundations from which a positive outcome would arise. His brother had faith in him, in the good that he possessed.
What do you think? Any suggestions?
