Chapter 7- The mistakes of the past (You know that I don't own charmed)
"I know you miss him. I miss him too." I hear Piper's voice, she's sad, but she needs to be strong for this,
"I need help."
"Uh, excuse me, this is my bedroom. You can't just walk in here anytime you want to." Well technically it used to me my bedroom,
"Yeah, I know, but your sisters need you. I got them working on the Titans but I don't know how long that's gonna last." Why is she giving me that look? She hears what I'm saying right? Dammit, this was a mistake,
"I thought you needed me." Oh for God's sake! WHY IS SHE DOING THIS?!
"I did. I mean, I do. I need you 'cause they need you. Actually, they need Leo. Look, will you please just go deal with them?" How the hell does she expect to defeat the Titans with her attitude?!
"What's the matter, Chris? The all-knowing running out of answers?" Does she honestly not realise what she's doing?!
"Yes, yes, I am. If that will motivate you, yes. I'm losing control because I'm watching history repeat itself and nobody's willing to do a damn thing about it." Why the hell are you acting like this?!
"I feel your frustration." Dammit I'm going to lash out at her soon if I can't control my emotions!
"Piper, if it helps, I get it, okay? I do, really. You need Leo. Your sisters need Leo. But if you can't stop,"
"You forgot the baby. The baby needs his father too." I don't need him, I've never needed him!
"Fine. But if you can't stop missing your husband long enough to see the bigger picture,"
"There is no bigger picture than my family." THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU ABANDON YOUR FAMILY?! STOP BEING SUCH A DAMMED HYPOCRATE!
"Well, then pay attention because the world I grew up in families hardly existed. I never had a chance to know mine." Prue died before I was born! Paige died when I was only a few months old! Leo walked out! And you! You were never there for me! Phoebe was the only one who was ever there for me!
"Not my fault." Yes, you were never there! You didn't stop Leo from leaving!
"Not yet."
"Is that what this is about? You blame us for what happened to you?" I do in fact!
"I just want you to get it right this time. Use your power of three. Use your power as gods. Save the world from going to hell." What the hell is up with her?! Why isn't she trying to stop this! If she cares so much about "the baby" and her "family" then she'd be trying to save them!
"If that's what you want, then I will say it one more time and maybe you will hear me. We need Leo. Now excuse me, I have to go warm up a bottle." You self centred bitch, how dare you walk out on me and Phoebe! You're family!!
Well it looks like I don't trust myself either, I'm putting up the force field. Well they say that babies are sharp, I think little Wyatt senses big Wyatt's anger, "Don't worry, you'll come to trust me in time. They all will."
I don't want to see the mistakes be repeated. If Leo is what they need then I'll get him, I promised Phoebe I would fix this and I damn well am going to fix it! I'll have to orb to him, the potion would've worn of by now, but it's all I can do,
Hmm hiding behind a pillar, not the best strategy but I'm not here to argue with Leo, "What are you doing? You're gonna expose us!"
"Shh! That's the idea."
"WHAT?"
"I said shush!" I peek behind the pillar, and whistle, ooh! Fire, those Titans seem pissed!
"Hurry, go, Piper needs you!" There he goes, time to orb like hell.
Well these Titans are certainly hot on my trail. Damn them, I've never had to orb so much in my entire life! I need a rest, I need to orb somewhere were they won't sense me! But were the hell can I go? If only I knew were the sanctuary was! Hmm, a premonition would be handy right about now. . .ah. . .a sewer, well that narrows it down a bit. . .hmmm. . .P3! It makes sense, there's a sewer under that that goes for miles!
This doesn't look like the sewer under P3! It looks like we're in a forest, how come everything is so hazy?
"Where am I?" I didn't even realise I said it out loud,
"You're in the sanctuary." Ah, an elder, I must be in the sanctuary, but why is everything so blurry? "Forgive me, my name is Roland, I am an elder."
"I orbed to the sewer under P3, this isn't it, where are we?"
"In the sewer under P3," He answered simply, "It doesn't look like it, if evil were to orb under here then they wouldn't be able to see it, just a normal sewer, if you can see the forest and us then you must be good." I can see the forest, but it's so hazy. . .wait, what the hell does that mean?
"Why is everything so blurry?"
"Blurry? Is your vision blurred?" He asks,
"No, I've always had good eyesight,"
"No, I mean your vision of good and evil. Is that blurred?" What the hell?!
"I don't know what you're on about,"
Why is he looking at me like that, I'm not evil! "I see, you're emotions are in chaos at the moment, you're afraid, you're angry, you're upset, no wonder you're vision is blurred. You posses great power, I sense that, I can see why evil fears you so."
Okay, he's starting to scare me, "What do you mean? I'm only a whitelighter,"
"Do you really think you can keep you're name hidden from me Wyatt?" What the! How the hell does he know?!
"I don't know what you're talking about," Did that sound convincing? God I hope it did,
"I think you do young Wyatt. You didn't do a bad job of disguising yourself, but there are some things that you can't disguise,"
"Does that meant hat Leo knows?"
"No, he's still on the road to becoming an elder, once this is all over and he returns with us to the heavens he may be able to sense you."
"What do you mean when he returns? He's staying home, right?"
"No, he's an elder, he has received the power, this isn't just a simple case of clipping your wings, he is compelled to go,"
"But what about Piper?"
"Piper will cope, I notice you didn't mention that yourself as well,"
"She won't cope, I know she won't!"
"I foresee that she shall."
"You foresee? Well I was there! I'm from the future remember? She won't cope! She can't cope!"
"I know what happened in your time, but this time the circumstances are different. This time she will cope, and when this is all over you will help her to cope, Leo has to go up there with us."
"Why? There's enough of you there! And what do you mean I will help her to! I'm going home after this!"
"No, you can't, you've changed too much. When Leo leaves you shall be there whitelighter. It hasn't been decided upon yet, but I foresee it. Leo has to leave, you must understand this."
"No I don't understand, he won't go," He won't, he can't, he promised!
[i] "Chris! Where ever you are, get your ass over here!"[/i]
"Wyatt, you must learn to accept this, it is destiny that chooses, not me or you or Leo."
[i] "It's okay, Chris."[/i]
"Go to them Wyatt, they need you. You must learn to accept fate, then your vision will be clear."
I orb out, why is fate so cruel dammit!? I know everything happens for a reason, but this is ridiculous! Leo. . .only those who are deemed wise become elders, maybe this has to happen, maybe I don't know. Maybe by becoming an elder, he can help people who need his help. . .maybe this is the reason for this.
"This better be an emergency. You are going to lead the Titans straight to us."
"What's happening to my husband?"
[i] "Help her through this Wyatt, help both of them, even if you don't like it. . ."[/i]
"Something amazing." God if just kills me to do this,
"You know what? Cut the crap. You knew the Elders were gonna die. You coached Leo up there. You knew all of this was gonna happen." I didn't want it to happen, but I guess I sort of knew that it was inevitable.
"Did you?" I told him when we were up there that it was going to happen! Is he really that stupid?
"You're not serious." Jesus Christ he knew that this was happening!
"Whatever it is you think you're doing, you need to make it stop."
"Piper, nobody chose this. It chose Leo. What he did up there for all of us was nothing short of a miracle. Now he's receiving the ultimate reward. A chance to become. . ." This is torture, how am I supposed to keep a straight face when all I want to do is lash out at destiny for doing this,
"Don't you dare say it." She's not going to survive this. . .
"The world needs sources of good to watch over it. Do you know a source of pure goodness better than Leo?" He's a good guy, I've always known, Phoebe always told me stories about him, I don't like this one bit, but it's not about me anymore,
"Leo is not. . .He's not an Elder, okay? Because Elder's don't live on earth. They don't have families. Okay, just tell him you're not an Elder."
"I don't know that I can." He doesn't want to go, he really doesn't, maybe it wasn't abandonment after all,
"I think you should get back to your sisters." The Titans will sense me soon; we have to get this done,
"No. Not until you tell him." Dammit, I wish I could do more,
"They're waiting for you."
"Chris is right. You need to get back to Paige and Phoebe." This is killing Leo, this really is killing him! I understand that now,
"No. Not until you say it." Dammit! Just do this Piper!
"The Titans are gonna be here any moment"
"I SAID NO!" Holy shit! OWW! Dammit pain, darkness, I pity the Titans if it hurt me this much. Everything is going dark, oww. . .go Piper defeat the Titans, do this once and for all.
"I know you miss him. I miss him too." I hear Piper's voice, she's sad, but she needs to be strong for this,
"I need help."
"Uh, excuse me, this is my bedroom. You can't just walk in here anytime you want to." Well technically it used to me my bedroom,
