Chapter 7

All I could ever remember was loving you, Autumn thought to herself as she stared at the picture of her and Wyatt by their bed. From the time her mother and father introduced her to him till the here and now. Their parents were best friends so it was only natural that they would become fast friends and eventually lovers. She smiled to herself as she thought back to the first day they met. Autumn was only six years old and Wyatt nine. When their parents told them to go play nice, Wyatt ran over to her immediately taking her hand in his and leading her up the stairs. From that moment on he was her protector, making sure she was safe at all times and fighting the boys who hurt her in anyway. Even though it was never a very fair fight seeing as how he was a martial artist like his aunt Phoebe. Their friendship turned into much more once they hit junior high school, it was at this time she found out how Wyatt really felt about her.

There was this boy named Jason Murray who was the hottest guy on campus, most thought and of course a hot guy needs a hot girl, so naturally Autumn, the girl every guy wanted was the one that he set his eyes on. When word got back to Wyatt he was livid. The smile slightly faded from her face when she remembered the incident that followed. Wyatt had beaten the boy so severally that he lapsed into a coma for 2 months. Lucky the boy was ok after a while and Wyatt's only punishment was being forced to see a psychologist for a year to learn to control his temper. This was when she finally got to see the bad side of him, which frightened her at first, but there was no way she was going to stay away. And this was also the day that they had their first kiss. It was back at Wyatt's house, before the police came. She was sitting by his side cleaning the one cut that Jason had put on him As she did so, she was yelling at the boy. "You know, you can't go around beating up all the boys who say they like me Wy. At some point I'm going to have to date someone. And then what? Are you going to beat him up as well? And another thing" But before she could finish the boy pulled her close and kissed her, tongue and all. Staring at him in shock, the boy spoke. "The only person you'll be seeing Autumn is me. You know as much as I do that we belong together." He finished as he wrapped his arms around her. At that moment she knew that he was the one for her, even if she was only 13. Now any normal girl would have run for the hills, but not her. It wasn't as if it were some stranger walking up to her out of the blue and saying this, it was Wyatt someone who by that time she had a major crush on, but felt that he only wanted her as a friend, and in that moment everything changed.

The relationship between the two of them was perfect all the way through high school where she was the captain of the cheerleading team and he was the captain of the football team. The night of their senior prom was going to be their first time together in that way.They had convienced their parents that they were going to an all night party. Since they knew that they would spend most of the time with each other they didn't mind. But they were really heading over to a five star hotel where they had thee most azaming night. Wyatt had already called ahead so when they got there the place was already set up. She didn't know how he knew everything she wanted. There were rose pedals that led from the door all the way to the king size bed, candle light, soft music and a hot bubble bath. The two quickly undressed and headed into the bathtub. That was just the beginning of a wonderful night. After they finished their bath they went straight for the bed where Wyatt had chocolate covered strawberries waiting for her, he always knew what made her happy, whether he used his Wicca powers or just listened to her, it didn't matter to her as long as he knew. When all the teasing was over, they got down to business, and Wyatt definitely knew what he was doing, and if he didn't he sure did a great job acting as if he did. He awoke things in her that she didn't even know existed. Using his tongue, hands and another very special and quite large part. The thought sent chills up her spine. How she loved that man with her whole heart and soul.

Thinking of Wyatt made her think of someone else, Chris and the amount of pain that he was putting him through. How could he do this to him? Doesn't he know how much Wyatt cherishes him? How much he loved him? Part of her hated the younger Halliwell boy for what he was doing to his older brother but the other half of her missed him dearly. Chris was an extension of her and Wyatt. Where ever they went, he was there also; it was almost as if he was her brother as well. Damn it. If she could understand then why couldn't he? Then a worse case scenario went through her head. What if Chris declines Wyatt's invitation to talk things over and Wyatt gets angry again? What if the brothers try to kill each other? She had to try and shake these awful things from her mind and wish for the best. Standing up from the bed she felt a wave of nausea come over her. Why do I feel so sick all of a sudden? Covering her mouth she quickly ran to the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind her.

Wyatt was sitting in his throne with two of his best demons kneeling in front of him. "How may we serve you my Lord?" one of the demons asked. "I want you to take a message to my brother. Tell him that I would like to meet with him at "our spot" tomorrow at 12 p.m. Let him know that there will be no tricks involved and I that I wish him no harm. I just want to talk. Did you get that?" "Yes Lord Wyatt" the second demon responded before they both flamed out. Sitting back Wyatt just hoped that his brother would except his offer, before it was too late.

"Can you believe this, their going after kids now?" Chris asked Amber as they stood on top of what was left of the Golden Gate Bridge. "How could he do such a thing?" Looking at him with sympathetic eyes, she responded "I don't know honey. I just wish there was some way for you to talk to him. If he doesn't care about most witches, if there is any good left in him, then maybe he will spare the lives of the children." She knew that this had to be hard for him. Amber didn't want to think about how she would react if it were her own sister or brother that was the bane of everyone else's existence. Before she could say anything further, two demons flamed holding their hands in the air. Forming an energy ball in his hands Chris was ready to throw, until one of the demons spoke. "You sure a hard one to find, Christopher. Never the less, your brother request your presents at your "spot" tomorrow at 12 p.m. And he promises that their will be no tricks and that he means you no harm. He just wants to meet with you and that's all." Before he could respond, the demons disappeared just as suddenly as they had appeared. Amber was the first to speak "do you trust him?" Turning to her Chris replied "I won't know for sure until I get there". "Chris" the girl began, not wanting him to go at all. Sensing what she was going to say the boy pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry; I know that no matter what Wyatt would never hurt me. Plus, it's just a meeting. What could possibly go wrong?"
