CHAPTER IV: WHY NOT?
-"Risking sounding like a girl.." Said Wyatt after Chris had been staring at the ceiling with a thoughtful expression for like ten minutes "What are you thinking about?"
-"You can't turn me" Chris answered with resolution.
-"uh?" Was all Wyatt said
-"I said, you can not turn me" Even more firmly than before.
-"I wasn't planning on trying to turn you kiddo, relax. Ok, ok, maybe just a little, but I thought there was no chance in hell that you would turn, or there is?" With this last line, Wyatt's baby blue eyes sparkle with hope
-"NO"
-"ahh" he sounded disappointed "OK" he, again, sounded like he didn't care.
Chris was glad that that, was all his brother was planning to do to convince him to turn evil. Or was he?? I mean, he knew he should. But somehow he was feeling really angry.
-"AND I AM NOT A KID anymore, don't call me KIDDO"
Wyatt looked at him confused... Why was his brother so angry? He had been calling him Kiddo since he was born. His mom told him, that actually, his first word had been kiddo and for some reason, that meant Chris, probably when he was a baby he couldn't pronounce Chris and somehow it got transformed in kiddo (A/N: You found it unreal?? My first word was TITA and that is how I called my sister, who's name is Ines! So.. Trust me weirdest thing can happen, and he might heard someone called him like that and he liked it, or something)
Except for like, two months when he was twelve, and in an "I am an adult" face of his life, Chris actually pretty much liked Wyatt calling him like that.
Chris had always been very proud of being Wyatt's little brother and having him protecting him. Wyatt had always been a role model for Chris, especially since he grew up practically without a father. Whenever that useless elder would come and visit,it would just be to take Wyatt to practice with his powers and Excalibur. Of course, why else would he come for? Elders were only after power. He had learned that the hard way. Chris interrupted his thoughts.
-"Why?" Chris found himself asking, despite how idiotic he felt .He couldn't avoid feeling betrayed.
That was all Wyatt was planning to do to turn him? He was his little brother, he loved him, didn't he want him by his side? Wasn't he even going to TRY? He saw the horrible efforts he had gone through, to turn some other people. And that was all he was planning to invest in turning him? Chris felt like the craziest person in the planet, but he was actually jealous of the people that had been torture so they would turn. And every inch of his body hurt, which made a lot harder to, actually, repress any kind of emotion, or not to get angry. OH GOD, THIS IS SO SICK! He thought for the millionth time.
-"Why what?" Said Wyatt more and more confused by the minute.
-"Why are you not going to try and turn me? Don't you want me by your side? I saw the awful things you did to some people so he would turn ... and me? All you do is say "maybe just a little, but I thought there was no chance in hell that you would turn, or there is?""?
-"Do you want to be turned?" Wyatt was thinking that the fever was seriously affecting his brother's brain.
-"NO!"
-"SO?? You are confusing me here, Chris"
-"I just don't understand why you don't try. The freaking leader of the resistance is not important enough to be turned? I am your brother!" He was yelling.
He didn't know where all this came from. His logical brain was telling him "YOU MAKE NO SENSE, DUDE" but his emotions were telling him "HE IS YOUR BIG BROTHER AND HE DOESN'T EVEN CARE IF YOU ARE NOT BY HIS SIDE, HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU, NOBODY IN YOUR FAMILY EVER DID, THEY ALL LEFT YOU ALONE, EXCEPT GRANDPA...AND EVEN HE DIED, LEAVING YOU ALONE AT THE END." "YOU BECAME THE LEADER OF THE RESISTANCE, ALL THOSE PEOPLE FOLLOW YOU, STILL, NOTHING YOU DO IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR YOU FAMILY TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOU!" and everything inside of him kept on saying (come on, repeat with me) THIS IS SO SICK!
-"Chris, I honestly think the fever is making you... You should probably rest...just take a nap, kiddo, you'll feel better afterwards... I'll be right here"
-"I don't want to take a nap. I want you to tell me, why?"
-"Why what? I don't UNDERSTAND what do you wanna know? Why don't I try to turn you? You just said you don't want to be turned!"
-"But why don't you try? Why don't YOU care enough about ME, to try?"
And then Wyatt understood, he was delighted, completely shocked, but delighted none the less.
-"Of course I care, you idiot. If don't try, is not because I don't care. I don't try cuz I care too much. Do you honestly think, that I could do anything to hurt you if I can avoid it? I wouldn't want anything more than to have you by my side. But unless you come willingly, I can't do it. I don't want to harm you"
He looked at Chris current state and was kind of embarrassed.
-"Yeah I know... but I didn't know it was you! I would have never let it happen if I knew it was you"
-"But is OK if is happens to SOMEONE ELSE?" Chris got logically and emotional upset now, and was yelling with reason "Do you think is Ok to torture people, just because?"
-"It's not just because... they are against me! Nothing would happen if they wouldn't be opposing me"
-"You say you wouldn't harm me. Do you have any idea how many fathers, mothers, brother, sons and daughters you tortures and killed, Wyatt? HOW COULD, WY? HOW COULD YOU?? WHY??"
Chris was shaking, he didn't look that healthy and getting all upset wasn't helping. Wyatt wished he was the one that was sick, so it would be Chris the one that had to control his temper. Chris had always been better at that, but he wasn't showing it right now. Everything seemed to affect Wyatt a lot more than in affect Chris. But Wyatt knew that wasn't exactly true, but Chris always had been stronger than him, more resilient. But then, it was true that Chris was sick, because of him.
Some deep part of himself was yelling him 'He is not SICK, you idiot, he's been tortured, almost to death, by your followers! Wake up Wyatt, look at what you did to your baby brother!" but he ignored that voice.
-"Calm down, Kiddo, you are going to hurt yourself, just calm down please. You can yell at me, hit me and kick my butt later, ok? Just now calm down"
-"Wyatt, do you have ANY IDEA of what you've done?" Chris felt the darkness was invading his peripheral vision, and quickly closing in. "Great, just GREAT. Good way to prove my point to Wyatt, fainting in the middle of the conversation". He couldn't really finish his thoughts before he collapsed.

In the underworld Barbas was thinking in that kind of funny/annoying way he always talks.
"Hmm I am sensing a new fear from Wyatt. Wyatt hasn't had a deep fear since he turned. He doesn't even fear his own death. That is so sad... but well... I guess I had more than enough to feed before with Wyatt's fears. Hmm... the fear of being left alone, the fear that everything he ever learnt wasn't real. That good wasn't really good and evil wasn't really evil. That idiot Elder gave it to me in a silver tray. Killing his whole family like that! The boy all confused and scared... and who to turn, but faithful Barbas? I fooled him good! And then feeding from his terror that there was no real good in the world, was so easy. He, he...after that... convincing him of ANYTHING had been so easy. GEE, the boy had served me good. Such a sweet, sensitive, hurt sixteen year old, feeling he had failed his family because he wasn't powerful enough to protect them, poor boy little boy" Barbas mocking
"Boy, Gideon was stupid by killing everybody like that. After what he've done it was so easy to convince the kid all the elders should die, since they were only after his powers. Gideon, your fear that so much power would turn him evil, turn him evil at them end. How ironic...with a little bit of my help too, of course" Barbas smiled.
"But now...after all this time... I am sensing a new fear coming from Wyatt. What can it be??"
--
A/N: yeah yeah yeah I know...such a disappointment Wyatt doesn't want to torture his little brother in order to convert him.. all of you that are soo hoping to have them throwing each other energy balls.. are sad at this point. Why everybody wants to make my boys slam each other into walls?? Anyways, I put the if I can avoid it there.. and still, Wyatt can change his mind once his brother is healthy enough.. Is WYATT he is CRAZY in case you guys haven't notice. I love the dude, I do.. but he has a couple of unscrewed screws in his screwed up head. K?

Pukah: I loved the "I love Wyatt he must be the cutest evil bastard in the whole world" I know, as I said.. after when 2 lives collide I got this kind of AWW Wyatt is so cute.. I guess the whole relationship between them is cute. Though this Wyatt is pretty insane.. and is starting to show it in some points here. But well, that is how you can explain his split personality, and poor dude.. he had it tough.. you whole family dies and then you run into barbas?
Well, I have the ending of this story already, actually that was the first scene that came to my mind, that is why I wrote the story.. I hope is going to surprise a couple of people, and I hope people like it. Of course Wyatt doesn't turn back... but... I am not going to tell you the end of the story, cuz you'll hate me.. unless you are like me, and read the ending of a book right after you read the beginning.
Milk and cookies for you lady, then... though you'll have to go to the manor and interrupt the family meeting cuz all the cookies are still in the kitchen.
CaliforniaChick: Yeah well I always thought that if Wyatt had been so bad, Chris would have never thought that sth turned him. But no, no he is not heartless, he is kind of insane though... he starts showing it in this chapter. He just was caught by Barbas in the worst moment of his life, after being sort of kidnapped by Gideon several times... not good for your mental health. But yeah, is hard to hate the bastard.. right? As Pukah here said "I love Wyatt he must be the cutest evil bastard in the whole world"
No I didn't mention their age, mainly on purpose, cuz I don't know how long my story is going to last and what will it happened, I just knew the beginning and the ending. But I would guess, Chris is around 20/21... but maybe something happened and I need to extend the story 3 years and I make them younger. Why? You think they are too immature for their age or something? Or you just wanted to know how long before Chris travels to the past?
FRENCH "butt kicking" SPARKLES: I am glad you found it funny, once more I found myself saying things that I had no idea people would think they were funny (not that I complain.. I live to cheer people up and it makes me super happy when they laugh).
Hey girl, don't worry about the spelling.. I am a foreigner remember? The Spell check thingy is my best friend!! Besides, trust me 12 am is usually the time, this answers to my reviewers are written, so now you get why they are so awfully written. Cuz at 12 am, my written English is fading away at an impressive ratio. At 2.00 am is when I start loosing my oral English and I start telling my friends that I hate them cuz they don't speak Spanish!!
What were you doing at 12.00 am in front of your computer? Hon, if I am home at 12.00 am, the chances of me being in front of the comp is like 95!! So don't feel bad!
lex : Are you using that name after lex luthor or you are just called Lex? I know... really dumb question.. but I was wondering.. besides... if you are name after Lex Luthor you must know how Wyatt feels.
Anyways... thank you so much for saying I am a great writer. I don't really think so, I just think writing this is fun. I put my day dreams on paper my, and that makes them a lot more nitid. But it does mean A LOT to me, that someone tells me I am a great writer. Specially since, English is not my first language so it's harder for me to write in it. And, still it would be very weird to write this in Spanish, cuz I never saw charmed in Spanish, since in my country, cable shows usually have subtitles.
