Chapter 25 Planning and Relationship Issues.
"What you're suggesting is mad," Wyatt says.
"How is it mad Wyatt? I leave this dump, they sense me, they come I'll freeze them. So, you guys can orb down and save Elijah," George asks.
"Because, there too many downsides than advantages," Wyatt answered.
"They know how your powers work, George, if they did come, they could easily use something to restrict your hand movement. Making you powerless. You couldn't even freeze Parker only slow her down. We can't risk them getting their hands on you," Chris pointed out.
"Right now, our main concern should be getting that damn amulet, Parker's practically invincible with it," Bianca says.
"Without it, she would return to her original strength," Wyatt said.
"She wouldn't be able to take all of us by herself than," Chris replies.
"There the matter of Elijah," George says, "How do we know, if he's you know,"
"Alive, he has to be," Wyatt replied.
"If he's alive, we'll save him," Chris said.
"For now, I suggest Wyatt, you get used to fighting without your magic, while Parker has the amulet it will be too risky to use Excalibur, she could probably seize control and ownership over it. Chris potions to enhance our powers and vanquishing potions. George, you come with me," Bianca instructed taking charge of the situation. She had no plans on losing her powers or her or Chris dying any time soon.
Chris was set to his own devices in the almost useless kitchen. He had to improvise, using old saucepans, with no gas, he still placed the saucepans onto the hobs and cast a small fire spell. He started to add whatever ingredients of their small supply that worked well together. He still hasn't really come to accept Parker's betrayal. He knows there no way of denying it. It was just that before his mother passed Piper and her sisters drilled into him, Wyatt and their cousins the importance of family. How irreplaceable it is and how it has to constantly be taken care of, so you don't lose it. Chris promised his mother after her death, he would do whatever it takes to keep their family whole. And to his shame he failed in his own eyes, he couldn't see Parker was drifting he and Wyatt should have done more to help Parker's sisters save her. Maybe just maybe Parker wouldn't have walked out on their family and messed up the entire balance.
As Chris is working on the potions, we have Wyatt in the grotty living room, sorting through various weapons, they 'borrowed' from Magic School. Well nicked would be the correct term but right now, they are desperate. Wyatt never really bothered to pay much attention to magical weapons, the only ones, he had little knowledge over were Darklighters crossbows and arrows, Athames and Excalibur. He had no idea which weapon would be the best fit for him at all?
"I ask the spirits to hear my call and cast some light on the right choice of weapon. I should wield in this upcoming battle," Wyatt chanted obviously nothing happened. Yet the former Twice Blessed Wyatt still had a small part of him, his heart wanting it not to be true. Apart of him waiting for the spell to answer his plea.
"A bow and arrow are a great weapon for attacks from a distance, but your aim and precision have to be perfect, no second for doubt," A voice commented from behind Wyatt. The now mortal turns and sees Bianca standing there.
"Come to gloat Bianca?" Wyatt replied, in truth they never really got along. They would often share passive-aggressive remarks towards each other. They were only pleasant towards one another if Chris was around.
"As tempting as that is Wyatt, I've come to help," Bianca says.
"I've never needed help before," Wyatt said.
"You've never been mortal before, Wyatt. I haven't come to fight this battle affects us all," Bianca replies.
"It affects Halliwell and Bianca, you're not a Halliwell," Wyatt spoke coldly. He tried to like Bianca at first, he really did but she came from a family of assassins. While technically Bianca and her family are witches, they acted more like demons. Yes, Bianca had supposedly decided to take a different path her family is on. It didn't mean, she didn't have their traits.
"I will be soon, I'm engaged to your brother," Bianca pointed out.
"Or maybe after this battle is over, Christopher will finally come to his senses and realise just how wrong your relationship is," Wyatt responds.
"I've spent years, trying to get your approval, your blessing. Yet you refuse to see me as me. You can only see my lineage," Bianca said.
"I see you as what you're truly are, right now you're a ticking timebomb waiting to explode. We can't escape our blood, no one is an exception," Wyatt says.
"My family was abandoned in the Salem Witch Trials, they asked the Elders for help and they condemned them, they were so new to the craft. So easily exposed their Whitelighter did nothing. As my ancestors burned, they vowed to never be so naïve and trust in anyone outside their line again. They hoped in their next life, they would find one another again and be born into a world where magic is loved not feared. Esther my oldest ancestor a woman spared by the mayor of that small town as a thank you for ensuring his wife would survive labour. She drew upon the magic of the blood moon that night to forever change her children, she ensured their ashes would rise and they would be reborn to survive," Bianca revealed.
"I'm sorry that happened to them, that Esther couldn't let them go, she violated the balance," Wyatt apologised.
"She saved her children and gave them a fighting chance, she took charge when her family was abandoned by those you served blindly," Bianca responded.
"I don't serve blindly, I protect the innocent, I use, I mean I used my magic to help those in need. I wouldn't do what Esther did," Wyatt said.
"Are you sure? Wyatt that if someone you loved, someone like Chris was burning at the stake or something similar if you had the power to save them as she did. Would you really have let him die?" Bianca asks.
"I can't pick favourites, Bianca that's where I and Chris differ, he believes everyone deserves to be saved. I know that we can't save everyone," Wyatt answered.
