Summary: Wyatt has finally moved out of the manor and loving the independent life. But what happens when he finds out that he might be living with an unexpected roommate?
Chapter Three
Chris flopped down on his bed and looked around his room. It was amazing how much bigger it looked now that he didn't have to share it with anyone. He allowed a triumphant smile to appear on his face. He was free to do anything he wanted now that no one was here to see him.
The only problem now was figuring out what to do with his time. He contemplated seriously for a while about turning up the radio really loud and dancing around in his underwear for a few hours. But he decided against it knowing that in this house anyone could orb/shimmer in unexpectedly. The satisfaction of dancing in his underwear wouldn't out weigh the embarrassment of being seen doing it in the long run. Maybe the best thing to do would just be to go to sleep. He thought. So that's what he decided to do. After all it was one o'clock in the morning.
He settled himself under the covers and turned off the lights before closing his eyes, preparing for sleep to overtake him. He wiggled around in bed trying to get comfortable. Once he finally found a position he liked he relaxed and was soon met with the unmistakable sound of silence. It was nice…at first. It wasn't long before he found the lack of sound disturbing.
He popped his right eye open followed by his left and peeked around the room. There was nothing there. He looked over to his right half expecting to see his brother in his bed sound asleep with his mouth hanging open. But the only sight he was met with was the indents in the carpet marking the space that the bed once occupied. That was when he was hit with the sudden realization that Wyatt was gone and he wasn't coming back. His snoring wasn't either. No wonder Chris found the silence so unsettling.
Deciding that he could no longer take it anymore Chris jumped out of bed, got dressed and headed down the stairs. When he arrived at the bottom he saw his mother sitting on the couch reading a book. Piper heard someone walking down and turned around to see who it was. Seeing it was Chris and he was dressed to go out somewhere she immediately snapped into mother mode.
"Where are you going, peanut?" She asked. Chris flinched slightly at the use of his childhood name. But he had learned long ago that no matter how hard he complained or how loud he got Piper would never stop calling him that.
"To Wy's" he said walking to the front door.
"It's late he might be sleeping." Piper said.
"He gave me a key. I'll let myself in and then wake him up." Once Chris reached the front door he grabbed his keys from the table at the right "See ya"
""Be careful. There are a lot of drunk people out there this late!" Piper shouted only to be responded by the door slamming. "Boys" she said with a sigh before returning to her book.
Chris parked his car on the street in front of his brother house. The first thing he noticed was that Wyatt's house was pitch black. The power must have gone out. Chris thought. But when he saw that the other houses had lights shining from windows he knew that must not be the case. Knowing Wyatt he probably forgot to call the power company. He got out of the car and walked to the door.
He fumbled around his key chain trying to figure out which key was the right one. It was proving to be a difficult task in the dark. So he opted for the one on the right end. He stuck the key in the whole and smiled when it fit. Turing the key with a flick of his wrist he pushed the door open.
The first thing he saw was a ball of light forming in mid air and fling straight toward his brother who was standing there with his back to him and a flashlight in his hand. Acting on instinct Chris swiped his hand through the air sending the energy ball crashing into the couch. Wyatt stared at the couch in shock before turning around.
"Wow…I've never been happier to see you before." Wyatt said. Chris let himself in and walked up to his brother.
"Don't mention it. What happened?"
"I don't know." Wyatt said. Suddenly the sound of frantic footsteps filled the air and Amy appeared from the hallway wrapped in a sheet.
"Oh my God. What is going on?" she yelled not seeing Chris standing there at first. But it didn't take long to see him and notice that he was staring. "Chris! What are you doing here!" she shrieked clutching the sheet tightly around herself. Chris looked between his brother and his girlfriend speechless.
"So this is why you moved out." Chris said to Wyatt who in return rolled his eyes. Chris looked at Amy. "Nice sheet. The color really brings out your eyes." Amy glared at him.
"Take a picture it'll last longer." she said.
"Ok" Chris reached inside his pocket and took out his cell phone only to have Wyatt rip it from his hands instantly.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Wyatt asked desperately wanting to change the subject.
"Nothing, I was just bored. I was going to come over and drag you out of bed. But your night had apparently been much more eventful than mine."
"Ok, ha ha, let's stop with the jokes please it's getting old." Amy said.
"I was talking about the energy ball." Chris countered.
"Oh…wait…energy ball what energy ball?"
"The one that ruined my couch" Wyatt said pointing to the charred smoking hole in the back of it.
"Hey, you should be happy that the hole is in the couch and not in you." Chris said.
"Yea, I guess I have you to thank for that…Still, that was an expensive couch."
"Well it's not like you can't afford another one Mr. Doctor man." Chris said. Wyatt shrugged. He could afford another couch.
"Wait, wait, wait, hold on. You almost got hit with an energy ball?" Amy asked Wyatt. He nodded. "Well did you vanquish the demon that threw it?"
"No" Wyatt said.
"No, what do you mean no? You're the twice blessed that's what you do. Demons try to kill you. They can't. You shoot lightning out of your finger tips. They all fall down dead. What the hell happened?" Amy said.
"I don't know. The energy ball just came out of no where."
"Huh? Chris what is he babbling about?"
"Just that, it literally formed in mid air." Chris said.
"So what does that mean?" Amy asked looking between the two men who were in deep thought.
"I don't know…maybe invisible demons?" Chris suggested.
"That would make sense. Ok we'll check the book tomorrow. Right now let's just all go back to sleep-"
"Are you crazy? I'm not sleeping here." Amy said. Wyatt rubbed his temples in frustration. Not that he blamed her for not wanting to be here. He really didn't want to be here either. But he was tired and he really didn't want to deal with this right now.
"Fine, Chris, take Ames home. I'll come over tomorrow morning to check everything out." He said.
"I need to go get dressed." Amy walked back to the bedroom.
"I'll wait in the car." Chris said before walking out of the house, leaving Wyatt all alone.
"I have a feeling this is going to be a long day…"
Tbc…
