Chapter 23 Running.
Everyone was still stunned and none of them has known how much time has passed now. The Twice Blessed power is gone destroyed. Wyatt is now nothing more than a mortal his witch and Whitelighter genes were erased. When the fragments of Cronus' Sundial absorbed Wyatt's power it made its own and the power was changed forever. And Parker a Halliwell witch a member of the family has turned their back on them for power.
"Parker has turned on the family, her sisters have to be told," Chris said.
"They will probably try to talk to her. To see sense, she is their sister after all," Bianca assumed.
"No, she turned against all of us, when she joined a demonic order, she's not family in any sense anymore," Wyatt finally spoke-up his voice harsh and loud.
"Her sisters might not agree with that," George says.
"I don't give a toss, she disowned us, when she sided with demons if they can't see that. Then they're just as bad she is," Wyatt snapped.
"Can you two give us a minute?" Chris asks looking at George and Bianca. Neither really wanted to leave Wyatt and Chris. But the look Chris gave them was really implying that he wasn't asking more like demanding.
"We'll be in the other room," Bianca said, the two then left Chris and Wyatt and entered the bathroom.
Chris and Wyatt must have been silent for minutes. Yet it felt like hours. Neither really knew what the other was about to say.
"Our connection has barely been gone for five minutes. But I miss it already," Chris commented.
"Yeah it made arguments so much shorter and easier," Wyatt replies.
"I guess, we just have to scream and shout at each other for hours like normal people," Chris joked.
"Or we can suppress everything and spend a fortune on therapy in our twilight years. Although we might not make it to the end of the week," Wyatt responds.
"I prefer the first," Chris said.
"Course you would," Wyatt says.
"I don't know what I'm more pissed at you acting like a moron and going to face something. You didn't prepare for, or Parker for deciding to side with a demon," Chris snapped.
"There wasn't time to prepare, I made a split-second decision. It wasn't as if we had premonitions like aunt Phoebe. I've never had a demon who could outmatch me," Wyatt responded.
"That's always been your problem, Wyatt, you've never once thought that there was someone out there who was your equal in anything," Chris shouted.
"That's because before now, I had no equal. I'm sorry that my birth was foreseen Christopher, I'm sorry that I was granted unimaginable power. I'm sorry that I'm the heir to Camelot. I'm sorry that you believe I was given everything, and you were given nothing," Wyatt shouts back.
"You were given everything but humility Wyatt. All those school parties, we supposedly never went to. It wasn't because we didn't like the people we did. It was just they couldn't stand you. They hated how arrogant you were you couldn't have any conversation where you didn't brag about what demon or warlock, you vanquished. They made sacrifices every day that you never had to because you've always had someone watching your back the Elders, the entire Magical Community," Chris snaps.
"I may have had my moments, but I have made sacrifices that you could never dream of," Wyatt replied.
"Like what?" Chris asks.
"Like giving up the man I loved, the man I wished to spend the rest of my life with," Wyatt responds.
"Excuse me," Chris said.
"My sacrifice was giving up the man I loved erasing his memories of all the time we spent together. Having to stay miles apart to keep him hidden. My power granted me near invincibility, but it didn't always protect those I loved," Wyatt tells Chris.
"Elijah the man you mentioned back before we got here. Was he your husband?" Chris asked.
"No, he was my personal trainer, of course, he was my husband," Wyatt barked.
"You erased his memories, why don't we know about him?" Chris asks.
"I couldn't erase your memories; those wards you put in place as a precaution. They were too complex to bypass completely. So, I did the next best thing. I altered your memories to believe that Elijah was just an innocent I helped a few times. Someone whose name you wouldn't really care to notice," Wyatt answered.
"We could have helped you find a solution," Chris started.
"No, you couldn't as long as I am who I am. Elijah anyone like him would be in danger. I almost lost him to death ten times in the short time we were married. We are cursed as Halliwells, we either die young or those we love die young. I decided to change things, to give him his best chance. Even though his best chance didn't include me. If that's not sacrifice Chris, I don't what is," Wyatt says.
"If we're going to get him back, we have to be smart," Chris replies.
"We thought they needed something similar to divine power to restore Cronus' Sundial. But they found a way it also means, they might find a way to bring Cronus back early," Wyatt pointed out.
"We might have to divide and conquer; we have Elijah to save. The Sundial to get and damage control over Parker's betrayal," Chris spoke. The apartment starts to shake violently.
"It's not safe here right now," Wyatt shouts.
"We need someplace more secure," Chris responds.
"Magic School," Wyatt suggested. The two then started grabbing everything they could think of. Chris heading straight for the Zbornak Book of Shadows and the Zbornak Sundial, while Wyatt grabs whatever little potion ingredients they had. Bianca and George enter the living room.
"What's happening?" George asked.
"We're leaving," Wyatt answered. Chris then orbed the group out over to Magic School. While telekinetically orbing Excalibur with them.
The group reappear inside Wyatt's old quarters. The former Twice Blessed quarters is bare a shadow of what it once was.
"Do you think they will follow us here?" George asks.
"I have no idea," Wyatt answers.
"We didn't really think this through, guys," Bianca spoke-up.
"All protection spells were broken by some presumably divine force," Wyatt recalled.
"Everyone here has magic, maybe they replaced the old spells," George says.
"It took decades for the original spells to be placed correctly, with the power Parker has now. She could probably break in with ease," Chris points out.
"We have to keep moving maybe, ask to take whatever potion ingredients, spell books and magical artefacts and weapons at their disposal. To try and even out the odds," Bianca suggests.
"Miss Bone is going to love this, Halliwells begging for help," Wyatt commented as the group left the quarters.
"What if she refuses to help?" Chris questions.
"Freeze her," George suggested.
"Beat her until she agrees," Bianca added.
"I'm going with the second option," Wyatt spoke.
