A Destiny To Fulfill
Summary: Set after "It's a bad bad world". Chris died, but he is sent back to fulfill his destiny to save Wyatt (Gideon wasn't the one who turned him in my story). Will he be able to make everything alright?
Chapter 10: A visit from the Angel of destiny
Wyatt was lying in the bed from the guest room in the manor. He still couldn't comprehend everything that had happened in the past hours. When he had decided to get his brother back to the future he had never thought that he would change it himself. But now that he could remember everything from the changed timeline he felt very happy about how things had went. The Memories from the time he came from were hard for him. He didn't want to think about the many times he had hurt his brother.
A smile came across his face at the thought of Chris. He was so thankful to have a brother like him. Though everything he had done to him Chris had still never gave up on the hope that he could be saved. Wyatt had never met someone else who was so strong like his brother. And even though Wyatt would never admit it he realized that he wasn't as strong as Chris. His brother had never chose the easy way in life, he had always fought him even at the times Wyatt had offered him to be on his side. That was real strenght.
He was also glad that his family hadn't treatened him like the evil in person even though he had once been it. When he and his brother had came back from the Golden Gate Bridge Chris had explained everything to them and they had believed him. His mother had even hugged him. It was so long ago that Wyatt had been in her nearness and he had felt really awkard.
Before he could think of his family and his new life any further he heard low voices coming into his room. Curiously he stood up and opened the door. He listened carefully and realized that the sound was coming from the attic. Quietly he went upstairs and listened to what was spoken behind the closed door.
"You have fulfilled your destiny."
Surprised Chris looked up from the book of shadows. He actually had wanted to relax now a bit after Wyatt was finally save but the thought of what would happen to his baby self hadn't let him go. So he had decided to take a look into the book. But now the Angel of destiny who had talked with him on the bridge a month ago was standing in front of him.
"I knew that you would be able to change the future to the better" he said smiling.
"It wasn't me who did it" Chris responded. "It was Wyatt."
The Angel nodded. "Yes but he would have never done it when you weren't be hurt. He cares a lot about you."
Chris smiled. "I know." He hesitated then he asked with a bit fear in his voice "What will happen now?"
The Angel took a few steps in his direction before he answered "We decided that we owe you something."
Chris frowned but a slight hope spread in him "What do you mean with that?"
"You will have the chance to change your own fate too" the Angel answered. "But you will have just one try. If you fail we can't intervene again."
"Err… okay and now english please" Chris said confused.
The Angel smiled. "We let you stay here til your baby self is two. If you manage it to save yourself than your new Memories will become true…"
"They aren't now?" Chris asked shocked. He had really thought that everything was okay now in the future.
"They are what can be when you manage to save yourself" the Angel answered. "If you fail and your baby self dies again we can't save your life again."
Chris sat heavily down on the chair behind him. "Why not? You did it once" he said desperate.
"Yes but we just did it because you needed to fulfill your destiny" the Angel explained. "But now everything's the way it was meant to be and there is no reason why we should intervene again."
Chris sighed. "If I fail, what will happen to me? I mean I won't even excist any longer, right?"
The Angel seemed to think about it for a while. Then he answered "Your situation is unique. Something like this had never happened before. But for what we know is that you can't excist if you're dead in the past."
Chris bent his head down. "So I'll just vanish?"
"You can change your fate Chris" the Angel of destiny said instead of answering. "We'll give you a last chance. Don't waste it." With that he disappeared in white light.
Chris stared to the floor and tried to deal with the things the Angel had just told him. The Memories from the changed timeline were fresh in his mind and Chris was determind to keep them there. He would change his own fate. He would make sure that his new Memories will come true.
Suddenly a voice came from the door. "What the hell was this about?"
Chris looked up and could see Wyatt standing there with a confused expression. "What do you mean?" Chris asked innocently and walked over to him. He didn't wanted Wyatt to know about this even though it seemed a bit late for that.
"You know exactly what I mean Christopher!" Wyatt said and blocked his way to the stairs.
"Uh uh, it's Christopher again" Chris said with a faked fearful voice.
"Don't be a smart ass" Wyatt warned. "Who were you talking to?"
"No one. I was talking to myself" Chris lied and tried again to pass his brother.
But Wyatt grabbed his arm and hold him back. "You can't lie to me. You never could. So what's going on?"
Chris sighed then he answered "I was talking to an Angel of destiny. And now if you excuse me I want to go to bed."
"Do dead people actually sleep?" Wyatt called after him when his brother wanted to leave the room.
Chris stopped walking away and turned back to his brother. "What exactly did you hear?" he asked a bit frustrated.
"Enough to know that you're in great trouble" Wyatt answered. He hesitated a second before he added "You'll die in two years?"
For a moment everything in Chris yelled "Run!" but then he looked into his brothers eyes and could see worry written all over them. "Yes" he then admitted. "I'm actually dead and now I have a last chance to change it or else I'll vanish forever."
Wyatt was shocked beyond words. This just couldn't be. It wasn't fair. He watched how his little brother bent his head down sadly and a sudden determination came over him. He wouldn't let this happen to Chris. "Don't worry lil' brother" he said and put a comforting hand on Chris' shoulder. "I'll do everything to save you, just like you did everything to save me."
Chris looked at him surprised. He was still not used to this version of his brother. But he liked him a lot. "Thanks."
"That's a matter of course" Wyatt responded. "We should maybe tell mom and…"
"No!" Chris quickly cut him off. "They don't need to know."
Wyatt looked him dead into his eyes. "Chris you should finally stop with your unselfish acts. They're killing you – literally."
"Gee thanks for reminding me" Chris said annoyed.
Wyatt grined but quickly became serious again. "I'm not joking Chris. We should tell them."
"But if we can change it…"
"It doesn't matter anyways" Wyatt finished for him. "But we can need their help to be able to change it."
Finally Chris gave in. "Okay you won."
"Ha! See, I knew that I would someday hear these words from you" Wyatt said and grined evilly.
"Stop smiling like this" Chris said. "It makes a shiver go down my spine."
Wyatt grined even brighter. "Well old habits are hard to fight."
Chris smiled cockily. "Yeah? Then you should quickly call mommy before we go demon hunting" he teased remembering a time from the new future where Wyatt had been totally afraid of demons.
What happened after Chris' comment neither he or Wyatt had expected. Suddenly Wyatt grabbed his brother harshly on his shoulder and pinned him against the next wall. "What did you say?" he asked dangerously.
Chris swallowed and looked at him in shock. His brother seemed so… evil. "Wyatt?" he asked uneasily.
Immediately Wyatt let go of him and took several steps back. "Chris… I – I'm so sorry" he stammered. "I didn't mean to do this, it was just…"
"An old habit" Chris finished while he rubbed his shoulder. "It seems like they're really hard to fight."
Wyatt was shocked at his own actions. He really hadn't wanted to hurt his brother but when he heard that Chris was making fun of him he had automatically became angry. Suddenly he started to fear what he could probably do to Chris. How should he protect his brother when he repeatedly attacked him by hisself?
"It's okay" Chris said suddenly. "I think you really have to get used to being good."
"Chris I didn't want to hurt you…" Wyatt began but Chris cut him off.
"I know. Don't worry, I'm not hurt."
"Yeah maybe this time" Wyatt said while his anger rose again. But now he was angry at himself. "But what if I get mad at you for something and kill you?"
Chris laughed slightly. "You're really dramatic. You couldn't kill me in the past and you surely won't do it now."
"How do you know?" Wyatt asked scared.
Chris walked over to him and smiled. "Because we're brothers. And I know that you would never speak it out loud but you know that you love me."
Wyatt smiled too and finally Chris left the attic. After a second his brothers voice called again after him "You were wrong with one thing Chris."
Chris frowned. "Really? With what?"
"I can speak it out" Wyatt answered and added "I love you lil' brother."
Chris laughed again when he saw how hard it seemed for Wyatt to say this words. "Really convincing" he said cockily.
"You know what?" Wyatt asked. "If you continue with this smart ass comments, don't wonder if I do kill you."
"That's my lovely brother" Chris joked again.
Wyatt shook his head in disbelief about his brothers attitude, which he had clearly inherted from their mother, and finally followed him downstairs.
TBC… (The next chapter will be set one and half years later. But don't worry, I'll explain everything that happened til then.)
