Chapter Three-Trouble at Home
"Hey Christopher."
"Don't call me Christopher, Wyatt."
Chris tried to walk faster as his brother came up behind him. He really didn't want to talk to anyone right now, especially not Wyatt.
"Hey! What's up? What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Chris growled.
"Whoa!" Wyatt stepped ahead of Chris, his stride much longer. He put his hands on his brother's shoulder and stopped him from walking away.
"I'm going to be late to class." Chris mumbled, trying to push his way past his older brother. Wyatt was too strong.
"You have thirteen minutes Chris. What happened? Walk with me, talk with me."
Chris reluctantly let his brother put his arm around his shoulder and let him lead him down the hall.
"Alright, spill."
"Donny saw me."
"Donny saw you." Wyatt repeated back, head nodding, eyes squinting, and eyebrows creasing in mock understanding. He then shook his head. "Say you what?"
"Use my powers."
Wyatt laughed. "Good one bro. You really had me going there." He slapped his brother on the back, making him stumbled a step. Chris kept a serious face and kept walking, eyes lost in front of him.
"You're not joking?"
"I'm not laughing." Wyatt once again spun his brother around and tried to look him in the eyes. This was becoming increasingly difficult, as his neck seemed to be slowly disappearing.
"What were you doing?"
"Orbing back from home."
"Why did you go home?"
"Melinda is sick and I went to check on her."
"She's fine, right?"
"She is now. Mom was fighting off three ugly green demons, but Melinda and I helped her out and it's all good now."
"Well, good. What are you going to do about Donny? Did you erase his memory?"
"No, I don't know how. I just ran."
"Chris! Now I have to go clean up your mess."
"You don't have to clean up my anything. I'll do it later."
"Later? Do we have 'till later? Will he tell anyone?"
"Yeah."
"Who?"
"Clark Kent." Chris pulled away from his brother and disappeared into his classroom. The bell rang loudly, causing Wyatt to jump.
"Damn." He looked around quickly and seeing no one in sight he orbed out.
"MOM!" Wyatt dropped his bag on his bed and opened his door.
"MOM!" He yelled again. Piper came walking down the hall towards him.
"Why aren't you in school?" she whispered.
"Is Melinda okay?"
"She's sleeping." Piper grabbed his arm and led him quietly downstairs.
"What about the demon?"
"I haven't had a chance to look at the book yet."
"Glad you're okay. Is there a memory spell in the book?"
"Why?"
"Nothing Mom, I'm taking care of it.
"Taking care of what?"
"Chris was caught in the act."
"The act? The act of what?"
"Orbing."
"WHAT!?"
"Well is there a memory spell or not. I though there was the last time I checked but I've never used it…" Wyatt began to walk away.
"Wyatt! Stop right there."
"Mom, I have to stop him before he tells Clark."
"Stop who?"
"Donny."
"Tell Clark. Clark Kent? You're kidding!"
"No, I'm not. If he tells Clark it will be in next weeks newspaper."
"Wyatt, that spell is dangerous! You never know what it's going to erase."
"I'll modify it" Wyatt whined, already heading up the stairs.
"Be careful. And be quiet, don't wake Melinda up."
"Kay mom." He shouted down at her. Piper listened as her eldest son stomped through the house to the attic and slammed the door shut. Piper shook her head, but she couldn't help smiling at him.
"Teenagers."
