CHAPTER IX: There is no Solution.
Wyatt started crying once again. Chris hugged him.
-"It's ok, Wy. It's ok. We'll sort it out. I promise" He said soothingly, comforting him, like when they were kids.
It was funny how, Wyatt had always been the powerful one, the oldest, the strongest, the protector. Yet, Chris had always had the strength of Character, Chris has always been the leader, the cool headed, the comforter. Yet, their dynamic always seemed to work perfectly. They balanced each other.
Wyatt smiled at his brother with a lot more conviction than Chris would have expected.
-"So.. wanna go for a walk, kiddo?"
-"Sure" He stood up. Wyatt had gone to one of the closets and handed him a jacket. That being Wyatt's was a little too big for Chris.
-"Are you ok? Cold, tired? Are you sure you are up to it?"
Chris didn't really bothered to answered and walk to his brother.
-"So where we going?"
-"Balcony" And he opened one of the glass doors that lead to the balcony. It was a beautiful garden, in a city in ruins. His brother lived like a king in a city of beggars. Chris tried not to think about that.
-"This is beautiful, Wy"
-"Come.." he lead him exited, the balcony was huge, probably occupied a whole side of the mansion Wyatt lived it. Part of it was covered with a glass roof, like a green house. And at the very end of it "Look. Isn't it exactly like mom's?" He said with a big smile.
Right in front of him, was an exact replica of the manor's garden, even he door that lead inside looked like the manor's door, inside the little square, one could forget that you were not at the manor.
-"Sit" Said Wyatt, leading his brother, that already looked tired, to one of the chairs. Chris sat down, and Wyatt kiss is hair. He swing his arm and a tray with cookies, two glasses of milk and a cup of tea appeared. "Just like mom's. I come here often, and eat cookies and milk and pretend that at any second you and mom are going to come and have cookies with me.. like in the old days. I always set two glasses of milk, and a cup of tea for her. I think she is probably watching us from there...Do you think she likes it? That I leave a cup of tea for her, I mean"
-"I bet she loves it, Wy" Chris smiled sadly. Realizing the death of his family had been really rough on Wyatt. He loved his brother...beyond everything, beyond reason. But Chris started to think, that there was something off in Wy's head. Wy wasn't evil, Chris was getting more and more convince, that all his brother needed was a really good shrink.
Suddenly Chris had a flashback, of something he never remembered before..
He was laying on the floor, hurt and Wyatt was crying, hugging him
-"I was the one that was suppose to die... Because...I can not live if you are gone. You are the one that can take anything, you are the strongest one. I just can not go on, if you die "
-"Yes you can, Wy. You have to have to"
-'I will go insane!"
-"Wy, you have to promise me, you'll be strong! You don't understand.. you are the double blessed, you life is more important than mine."
-"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. don't EVER say that! You are the best of all of us...you were always the best of all of us"
So apparently he did go insane. Chris felt really sorry for his brother, and also felt sorry for abandoning him. Though he never did, but he wondered... If he would have stayed conscious, if he would have stick with his brother. Would any of this, ever had happened? Was this massive destruction the world was enduring, his fault. Could he had prevented it? Guilt possessed him. And also a tremendous sadness and pity for his brother. Since he had to have suffered a lot, to loose his mind like that.
-"I never could brought myself to go back to the manor after that day, but I built a little sanctuary here" Wyatt interrupted his thought. And gave him a cookie. He was eating one himself "Aren't they good?" He said smiling childishly.
-"They are awesome, Wy" He smiled sadly at his brother. They were, just like his mom's. Being there, with Wyatt it was easy to imagine that at any minute his mom would appeared.
Wyatt kneeled in front of him.
-"Did you miss me at all, Chris?" Wyatt asked him, his eyes full of childish pleading, full of hope, full of pain, full of insecurity, full of insanity.
-"I missed you every day, Wyatt. Every single day. Grandpa said, I kept on calling for you at the hospital, over and over again. I didn't accept that you were dead... I looked all over for you. Even if grandpa said that there was no hope, I didn't care...I too pictured in my mind over and over again, what would happened if I ran into you"
-"And why wouldn't you come to me, when you knew who I was? Why didn't you show your face before?"
-"Cuz... I thought you would kill me, bro."
-"You thought I would kill you. WHY?... oh no... you believed the rumors, right? You thought I killed our whole family?"
"No, Wy.. I never believed that"
-"You are lying.. you thought I killed them all, and I would want to kill you too"
-"Wy, look at me. I am NOT lying, I never, ever believed those rumors... but try to understand, I didn't know what to do.. I was confused. I woke up one day and my whole family was dead, and the next thing I know.. my brother is killing everything that moves. I didn't know what to do...but never, not even for a split second, I believed you killed our family.. I was just.. scared"
-You were scared of ME?" Chris didn't answer. Wyatt pulled him into a hug "No please, Kiddo. Don't be scared of me... please don't tell me, you are scared of me"
-"Wyatt.. do you have any idea of what you've done? Are you nearly conscious of the destruction you have create?"
-"I didn't have a choice, its power.. it's all they ever cared about.. and they sent all this people to kill me...just because I was too powerful. The were all against me.. everybody was trying to kill me"
"Great, now he is not only psycho but is also paranoid." Thought Chris.. "next thing I know, he also hear voices! And he is also, schizoid" He just felt so sorry for his brother.
-"I love you, Wy" Said Chris, grabbing his head by the sides, as to make him look right into his beautiful emerald eyes "No mater what happens, always, always remember that I love you, I always did and I always will, ok?"
-"OK" Said, yet another pair of beautiful, baby blue in this case, eyes.
-"We'll sort this out. Together, like in the old time, right?"
-"Right"
Chris was the one that pulled his brother into a hug this time.
-"I love you too, Chris"

Wyatt was pacing around the room, while Chris slept. He was getting fine so quickly, it was unfair! Wyatt wanted to throw an energy ball at him, just to keep him longer, but he couldn't do that to his baby brother. He wanted to lock him in a room and never let him go, but he had promise he would be able to leave, once he was fine. And Wyatt couldn't break, yet, another promise made to his brother.
What to do? He couldn't leave with him. He knew that, even if he believed Chris' cause was the right one, that he didn't. He couldn't abandon his movement and expect to survive. If his guys didn't kill him, Chris' guys would. Besides, who has ever heard of someone joining a resistance, against himself? That was ridiculous. He wished Chris would see the light. Understand what was all about. That good and evil didn't exist. He did feel kind of sorry for the people that had lost their lives. But as in the good versus evil charade, in the power quest he was on, the law was the survival of the fittest. It had always been about power, even in the good versus evil times. It wasn't his fault if he was the fittest, and what was he suppose to do? Let them kill him? He played for his team, and the rest played against him. The sad part was that his brother was on the looser team, and what you lost in this game, was extremely precious. He couldn't even begin to grasp the concept of his brother dying because of him AGAIN.
He had to make him see the light! HE HAD TO! But he couldn't bring himself to tell him what really happen. He didn't even know. if he was going to convince him, his brother had inherit the Halliwell's stubbornness. But he knew of one person that could.
-"NALA" he whispered, not to wake up his brother. Nala Shimmered in. "Take care of him, I need to go somewhere"
--
Chris woke up.
-"where is Wyatt?" He asked Nala.
-"He left"
-"Where?"
-"How would I know?" She shrug
Chris wondered where his brother left...scary thoughts crossed his mind. Please let it not be any of that. But he doubted it, his brother was the source of all evil after all. And no matter who much he wanted to delude himself. That was the truth. "What happened, Wy? How could you?" He thought, seeing his brother, so loving, so frail. He just couldn't understand how that same person, could have done all that.
He loved his brother, more than anything in the world. And this situation was killing him. And there was no way out. What could they do. He just couldn't join Wyatt movement. He couldn't, it would go against all his belief, all his family beliefs. He had to save Wyatt some way. But how? It was true. If Wyatt joined him, he was a dead man. What was he suppose to do? Go back to the resistance and say. "Hey this is my brother, Wyatt... he wants to join us?" Maybe they could use a spell to change his face, so nobody would recognize him. But then.. would Wyatt join the resistance? Who could Wyatt believe so firmly in something that was SO wrong.
A/N: Ok, next posting will be from back home, in Argentina, since I am leaving today my beloved San Francisco! And if anyone has the chance to come and visit the charmed city... do so (though Charmed is filmed in L.A), I love this city I've been calling my home for so long!
--
Pukah: heheh the last one just a joke, obviously! Nahh Barbas will torture Chris.. soon, not now.. but I think the ending is coming, and its getting more an more obvious! So Wyatt has been questioning everything since he found Chris. And Chris is starting to wonder if his brother is not insane. We'll see what happens next... maybe Wyatt went to find Leo to confess... what do you think?? Who do you think it is? I already know who.. maybe Barbas...maybe someone else.. dun dun.. :) I know you are missing menaces, right?? I will, soon, I have a lot written, but its not funny enough.. and I am not very funny nowadays. Besides, no truth, no menaces. Have you been reading my other story, with my other nick? Thedifferentone , "its not such a bad world"? Most of the dialogs are pretty funny, it has some other stuff too, but you'll probably laugh.
Well there are more people involve in Wyatt tyranny its true. I mean no one cant expect to have such a big tyranny and not have a lot of layers of power.. that is ridiculous, Wyatt has a lot of followers that would love to take his place, just they are scared of Wyatt.. Wyatt leaves, and someone else would rise... the thing is if they are powerful enough to hold the power. On the other hand.. you can see that Barbas also has a lot of control over Wyatt! But yeah.. Wyatt still thinks he is right! Hehehe your cookies tasted kind of weird, the pills didn't add a good flavor... so I stole some of Wyatt's tray!
Hehehe no my characters can't die.. Chris has to go to the future, and except if I decide that Chris crossed never existed, Wyatt has to be alive. Barbas.. he can die.. we don't need him.
GOOO for your mom!!
Yep you could send a short replay.. I like the longer ones better.. but I understand.. you have to sleep sometimes
ME: Thanks again, and sorry for not answering your other review on time, if it was the same me. Well, here you have a little or more sibling bonding. Still, I guess the story won't last a lot longer, or the sibling bonding, at least. Unless I can come up with something else they need to talk about. Because the guys are already way too confuse and its just stretching the inevitable, and repeating the same dialogs. As much as I love to torture their sweet little confuse minds and make the love and hate each other at the same time. Don't you think?
FRENCH "butt kicking" SPARKLES : THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSS for all your reviews. First let me answer, Memories the song fic. Hey girl... it's not a stupid question... none of us knows all the songs in the world. And trust me, I should know!! The song is called Memories, and its from the musical "CATS" it's an awesome song. You probably heard it, just don't remember. I love that song... and it's true, I heard it the other day, and I was like.. this is so much Chris.. that is weird.. cuz its not a thought you have when you hear a song. THANKS for your kind review on that one.
YEAHH Barbas is so evil. Don't worry, Pukah just sent the evil demon Teddy bears against him. They are devouring, but yet keeping him alive, so I can bring him back if I need him here. Can't be killing my cast like that.. you know.
Gideon, on the other side, we summon him back and let the evil ewoks eat him alive. It got nasty!
Here more cookies!! I hope you liked them.. they had milk, no Tea.. tea is for Piper, can you imagine Piper giving tea to her kids?? Nahh me neither. So milk had to be.
teallover : there you go.. more sibling bonding. Poor kids.. they are about to throw themselves out of the window!! They'll just hide in the secret garden forever. "Did barbas have something to do with that too?" BARBAS.. Barbas has always something to do when it comes to poor little Wyatt.. the tiny whiny baby! You'll see hopefully you'll like it.
Drewfuller4eva: Ok, you wrote your review after I wrote this chappie, and actually more sibling bonding kind of won, but I am starting to feel, as much as I like sibling bonding, its just getting a little to much, to make any sense. I promise Wyatt will have some epiphanies next chapter!
