Chapter 3
The brightness of the sun that streamed through his bedroom window made the man's eyes flutter several times before he was actually able to open them. Once he was fully awake the man couldn't help but smile as he thought about the wonderful night that he spent with his wife. Not the evil soul that had taken over her very being as of late, but the woman that he had married so long ago. The man's smiled widened as he looked down at his wife that was still sleeping soundly on his chest. "It will be all over soon sweetheart and then we can take the boys and go for a picnic in the park like we always used to" he finished giving her a kiss on the head. Although Wyatt always protested the particular little gathering, claiming that the leader of the universe shouldn't be caught doing such things and how it would ruin his reputation. Autumn would simply laugh and say ok, knowing that he would join her and the boys only seconds after they arrived at their destination.
"Ok, all I have to do is make sure that I get down to the kitchen before everyone else so I can slip the potion into their food" he spoke softly trying not to wake his bride. "Then I can finally have them back" he said while tightening his grip on the woman and pulling her closer into him. As his mind continued to drift the smile that was on his face faded away. "Shit, what if they hate me for what I've done and I lose them all over again?" he whispered. Shaking the thought from his head he came up with a way to turn things around. "Well I can restore the state of the world like I did before and erase everyone's memory" he concluded sounding very pleased with himself. "But I have to be careful and not erase too much or they're going to way to suspicious seeing as how Amber already had Paris, they're going to wonder how time passed and they didn't have any memories of it" His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Autumn slight moans signaling that she was just about to awaken.
Looking up at him the woman smiled as she planted a soft kiss on his lips. "Hey there sexy" she said as she ran her hand over his shoulder length blond hair. "You're not to too bad yourself there darling" he said giving her yet another kiss. They sat in silence for a little bit before the woman spoke again. "Listen I've been meaning to talk to you for a while about something" "Ok, what it is" the man said as he pushed himself up into a sitting position. "Well I've noticed that something has been weighing heavy on your mind as of late, care to discuss it?" she spoke with venom evident in her voice. Not sure what to make of it the man answered very cautiously "Nothing that you should be concerned about. But don't worry it will all be over very soon, I assure you" She then thought, ha, so sorry to disappoint you my sweet but that little plan of yours isn't going to work, that I made sure of. As he continued to lie trying hard to cover his tracks she couldn't help but think about how much she missed the strong domineering man that he used to be the way that people around the world feared him. No matter she thought. Sooner or later he will be that man again and she didn't care what she had to do, to make it happen. Not being able to stomach his lies any more she pushed back the covers and made her way to her feet. Seeing her in her natural state immediately caused the man to stop dead in his tracks. "So are you going to just stare at me, or are you going to come join me in the shower" with no words spoken the man followed Autumn's lead into the bathroom.
About an hour later the pair was showered and dressed and ready to start their day. "Listen sexy I'm going to go check up on the boys and get them cleaned up and I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast, ok?" the woman spoke as she wrapped her arms around the man's waist. "Alright I'll see you an about 40 min" he said returning the embrace. "Later" the woman called out as she disappeared through the door closing it hard behind her. Once Wyatt was sure that the woman was out of sight, he made his way towards the draw where he was hiding his secret weapon. "I've got to make sure that I get down there before everyone else" he said opening the draw and that's when he began to panic. "WHAT THE HELL?" he yelled trying hard not to destroy everything in his path as he searched for the vial. "Ok, ok. I need a moment to think here. Who is the only person that could have known about the potion and had the opportunity to take or destroy it" at that very second he turned to see fragments of glass that remained in the fire place. "Alight destroy it" he said throwing his hands up in the air. Then it hit him "Damn you Autumn" he screamed as the all the widows and mirrors in the room shattered.
Outside the bedroom door stood a very pleased Autumn. "Sorry baby, but I couldn't let you do it no matter how pissed off you get. In the end you will see that this was the best thing to do for our family" with a smirk planted firmly on her face the woman walked away and headed towards the room of her youngest son.
