Chapter Three
IT was 8PM when Wyatt orbed into the Manor's kitchen. He was greeted by his mother, washing dishes. He smiled at her.
"Hey mom." He said, hugging her.
"How was band practice?" She asked, drying her hands.
"Oh, it was good." He lied. "Made lots of progress." He felt so bad.
"So, how was your evening?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Oh, uh, it was OK. Your sister has a new power, and isn't talking to me." She said.
"Damn. What power? And why isn't she happy with you?" He asked.
"Long story, we had an argument." She said. Wyatt nodded.
"So…Power?" He asked.
"Oh yeah, Empathy."
"Damn, now I know why she's been so bitchy lately."
Piper laughed.
"Don't talk about Mel like that. Anyway, I gave her a mild binding potion, to block out everyone else's emotions"
"Nice, I'll go talk to her, Ok?" Wyatt said.
"Pft. Good luck." Replied Piper. Wyatt left and walked upstairs.
He knocked on Mel's door.
"Mel, are you sleeping?" He asked.
"No." She said from the other side of the door. Wyatt entered her room. Mel was sitting on her bed. She still looked upset.
"I heard you're not happy with mom." He said. She nodded.
"Well, you want to know what I think?" He asked.
"Ok.." She said.
"We have a wonderful mother, she took care of us Mel, after dad left. She had to raise all three of us. She's always been there for us." He said. Mel was silent.
"And although you're not happy with her now, she still loves you and cares about you. I don't want to sound too harsh, but I think you should aplogise to her, don't you?" He asked.
"Yeah.. I guess, It wasn't fair of me to take my bad mood out on her. I'll apologise to her tomorrow morning." She said. Wyatt smiled and poked her.
"That's ma girl!" He said. He gave her a quick hug and then she pushed him away.
"I'm gonna go to sleep now. Goodnight Wy." She said.
"G'night sis." He said, walking over to the door, he turned the bedroom light off and left. He walked down to the stairs, and into the kitchen. He was stopped by Piper.
"How'd it go?" She asked.
"Pretty good, I think I've talked some sense into her." He laughed.
"Thankyou! I'm going to bed now, you should too. It's late." Wyatt laughed.
"Yeah, Like 9.30pm is late, mom! Goodnight anyway!" He said, and walked down the basement stairs. When Mel was born, Piper decided that Wyatt was a little too old to still be staying in the nursery, so they decided to convert the basement into a bedroom. Wyatt didn't particularly mind, He was living in a room just about the spiritual nexus, it made him feel powerful, and power was the one thing he craved. When Chris reached the age of 6 He moved into the basement with Wyatt, it was sure big enough. Now that all the kids where a little more grown up, Chris and Wyatt shared the basement, Paige and Sam shared a room on the second floor.
He took of his shoes as he entered the room, and went to sit on his bed. Chris was still awake, but barely, he was sitting at the desk, slumped over some school books. Wyatt went over and poked him. He woke with a start.
"Hmmm, what? What did I miss?" He said. Wyatt laughed.
"Nothing, you were asleep, you should go to bed now, if you're that tired." He advised. Chris got up and went over to his bed.
"Good idea." He said, as he collapsed onto his bed, pulling the covers over him.Wyatt walked over to the wall to turn the light off, then retreated to his bed. They lay in silence for the next few minutes. But the silence was then broken by Chris.
"Wy?" Chris asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do you ever miss dad?" He asked. Wyatt thought for a moment, then replied.
"No, I don't."
"Really?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because he left us Chris, maybe I'd miss him if he was a decent father, but he's not, I haven't seen him since I was six years old, and you haven't seen him since you were 4 years old. He's never sent letters, birthday cards.. He doesn't deserve to be a father."
"Wow… that's deep."
"Well, its true isn't it? Why, do you miss him?" Wyatt said.
"Well, Yeah, sometimes, I wonder what It'd be like to have dad around.."
"Just forget about it Chris, we've got mom and Aunt Paige & Phoebe, we don't need a lost cause like him." Wyatt said.
"Yeah… I guess." He said, and drifted off to sleep.
Wyatt hated his father.
The next day was a day that all children love, Saturday. However Wyatt wasted his Saturday mornings by sleeping in until twelve. But this day, he was woken up early, by the sound of screaming. He jerked up right, flew out of bed and up the basement stairs. He ran into the kitchen, to see what had happened. It was actually nothing bad, His siblings and cousin were playing tick, and screaming in the process. Wyatt and put on an angry face and yelled at them for making such a racket. They backed away and ran outside to resume the game outside. Piper walked into the kitchen, and laughed at the sight of Wyatt's half asleep state.
"Good afternoon, my little vampire" She kidded. Wyatt laughed.
"Hah, yeah, so funny. Is there any breakfast left?" He asked.
"No, It was devoured by the kids, your aunts and myself, you'll have to have cereal." She said.
"Ok with me." he said, grabbing a spoon from the drawer. They were interrupted by a scream from outside. Not an ordinary scream, a scream of pain. Wyatt dropped his spoon and ran outside, followed by his mother.
Sam was laying on the ground outside, Chris and Mel were towering over her. Piper pushed into the towering circle.
"Samantha, Are you OK? What happened?" She asked, panicked.
"I fell, I think I did something to my ankle.." She cried. Piper sighed.
"Ok honey, let me see it." Chris and Mel moved out of the way. She observed the ankle, it looked painful, it was bloody and bruised, possibly broken.
"Ok, Wyatt can you pick Samantha up, we need to take her to the hospital, Chris, stay here and look after Mel. We'll be back soon, alright?" She asked.
"Sure," Chris said. "Come on Mel" He took her inside. Wyatt picked Samantha Up and placed her on the backseat of the car, then he got into the passenger side, waiting for his Mother. Piper ran back into the house to get her car keys and cell phone, shut the door, and got into the car.
"Paige is gonna be maddd" She said, and they drove off.
