The Ties That Bind
Chapter Eleven

Wyatt tightened his hold around Jenna's throat, feeling it forcefully moulded beneath his grasp. Unlike with Christopher in the Past, he liked to get information out of his prisoners by his own hand, and not his magical one -that didn't mean he wasn't going to deny his subordinates the chance to have their fun; he just ruled that a lot of the time, the traditional, old-fashioned methods of mortals were often the best, or at least the most interesting. And his rules were followed.
"I'll ask you again, where did you learn of my plans?"

He loosened his grip ever so slightly, giving her a chance to answer. Instead of the information he wanted, he got a stony glare.
Of course, sometimes magic was interesting too.
Especially when telepathy was a power one possessed. He still remembered the witch he stole it from, the way she screamed when he killed her… it was a quick kill. Short. He only kept her alive long enough to make her insane, bombarding her with voices she could no longer stop and tearing through the intricacies of her mind leaving it ripped and frayed. That was a very good day.

Wyatt fingered a lock of her wavy reddish-brown hair, feeling for her mind with his own. He found it, a pool of light that became clearer as he focused, looked more like a spool of many threads, in many different colours and of varying thickness. He started to pull it apart, literally. Just tugging on the edges at first, it was enough for her to bite into her lip, urgently trying to stop the scream that was undoubtedly pulling in her throat.
"Just tell me what I want to know and I'll make it stop." He whispered, twirling the strands of hair around his fingers, "I can make all this pain go away," he stopped his assault for a few seconds, "Or I can make it worse, it's your choice Jenna." Starting up the tearing again he stepped it up, kept wrenching a little harder every few seconds, until she bit through her lip and blood trickled down her chin.
"What will it be, Jenna? Where did you learn of my plans?"
He released his grip on her throat entirely, letting her fall against the chains that held her against the wall.
"Ung -you -"

"Spit it out woman!"

"Never!"

Wyatt backhanded her across the face, hearing a satisfying thump when her head connected with the wall. "You know, if you won't tell me willingly I can always just, find out for myself. It's in that brain of yours somewhere…" he tugged at a few of the outermost threads, read the information idly whilst listening to her pitiful screams.
She had hidden it well.

One minute turned into five, five into ten… Wyatt was getting bored; he stopped plucking single threads and grabbed several at a time… Jenna probably would have cried louder but her voice was hoarse from the constant screaming.
She merely muttered incoherently now.

There. He had it.
Wyatt laughed, "So Ryan finally figured out the bindings I made for all them? That's it? Shame you don't know anything else, Jenna. You're of no more use to me now."
Her neck snapped with a loud crack.
She fell limp in the chains and her head lolled forward.
"Elekna!"

"Yes, Lord Wyatt?"

"Get rid of that."
Wyatt didn't wait for a reply and blinked out -it would be done or Elekna would die. It wasn't difficult.

Right now he had to come up with a new plan to finish of his brother once and for all, though since going directly after Piper hadn't worked, he would have to try a different approach, and hopefully his mother would be among the collateral damage -thus finishing off Ryan and Caden as well.
The twist was… they now had all their powers.

Wyatt shook his head, it was going to be a lot harder to destroy them now, although, a new thought came to him that he never thought of before -they all disliked using them. Or not disliked, as much as feared.
Thanks dad. Another thing his father had bestowed upon him as the only child twice-blessed -obviously when any other sibling displayed powers they were jealous or turning evil.
He smirked; Leo never was able to see beyond the end of his nose.

Chris was always the worst, or best, when it came to his powers… and if he was in the past he wouldn't want to jeopardize the future outside of his 'quest' ergo, Chris wouldn't want their parents to know that all their children were 'twice-blessed', especially since they never even found out in the future.

Maybe… Chris' reluctance would be his undoing. However, with Caden in the past as well, it would complicate matters. She was younger, wouldn't understand all of the details of time-travel, wasn't under Leo's thumb for as long, and she would not be as with strained when it came to her powers. On the other hand… she was younger, would be much easier to manipulate, even 'turn' as his brothers viewed it.

The smirk grew and Wyatt's coal filled eyes gleamed. By now Chris would have set up the prevention spell, just as he had, but it would wear off in a few weeks.
And in a few weeks, Chris would die, but not by his hand. He still couldn't, wouldn't kill Christopher.
He would send Kalister.

His best assassin.

Author's Note: Hmmm, I'm quite oddly fond on this chapter, and I'm not sure why. I enjoy writing Wyatt's thoughts though, so I think that's it. I like trying to make him 3D and it's SO hard! Is it even working?!
