CHAPTER XV: Knowing your love ones (And holding it against them)

Manor-Attic

AWy, I need you to go back to sleep and focus on having your nightmare again. Piper said as soothingly as she could.

AWHAT? Wyatt screamed in panic ANo! I dont want to. He said backing away from his mother.

AI know, hon. She said sympathetically. ABut you have to.

ANOOO I dont want to see it again. Why? I already told you everything about it! Any question you might have, I can answer itY I dont need to see it again. He said scared.

AI knowY but I need you to keep on dreaming, take this. Piper told him offering him a vial. AIt will stop you from waking up, so we can see what happened to Chris after that!

AMomY please. He begged with glassy eyes. AI dont want to see how I hurt my brother!

AIts not you, sweetie! Emma said lovingly.

AShe is right, he is not you! Piper reaffirmed.

AYES, he is! Wyatt said devastated.

ASweetie, well be all here, beside you, taking care of you! Phoebe said affectionately, caressing his face.

The three girls ran to him wrapping his legs with their arms, affectionately. Wyatt picked Prue up, adoringly.

AThe three of us will lay beside you and take a nap with you too, would you like that, Wy? Prue said sweetly.

The charmed ones nodded, knowing how much Wy loved the three kids. Wyatt buried his face in his little cousins shoulder.

ASome other day, baby! Please mom, you dont know how it feels to see it all! he pleaded.

Leo, who was already mad at Wyatt and worried sick about the whole situation, snapped badly.

ASo you actually are that selfish, arent you Wyatt? You only think about yourself and about nobody else but you? Sometimes I wonder what sort of son I raised! You are whining about how you feel? Can you imagine how Chris is feeling? Trapped, hurt, and you just dont care about that? You are willing to let him die? No wonder you end up turning into a monster, I wonder if the monster is not already in there! As soon as Leo said those words, he regretted them. He had let his insane worry, concern, frustration and anger speak for himself, and he snapped, with the one thing he knew freaked and hurt Wyatt the most. He knew that would make Wyatt react, but at what cost?

Leo ran to his son. AOh god, Wy. I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorryY He kept on repeating, hugging him close to himself and caressing his hair; but Wyatt couldnt hear him anymore. He had put Prue down as soon as his father started his monologue, and now was rigid like a rock, almost as if he was in trance.

Everybody was in silence, the only thing that could be heard were Leos words, begging for forgiveness.

ADad, his face is getting all red! C.J screamed scared.

Leo looked at his first born, Wyatts breathing, that had been a little uneven since the last time C.J woke him up from his nightmare, was now completely erratic, he was hyperventilating.

AWyatt, honey, calm down! Piper said as calm as she could, getting him away from his father.

Leos eyes started filling up with tears. How could he had been so cruel? He knew how much Wyatt feared turning evil, and he also knew his son was really on the edge of a nervous break down lately, he didnt need anyone telling him his worst nightmare had come true, least of all, his father, his role model, the person that was always supposed to be there for him, to comfort him.

Piper, held her sons hand and tried to take him to a chair; still Wyatt didnt move, at least not voluntarily. He seemed to be stuck to the floor, with his eyes lost somewhere, while his body shook with spasms and his body seemed to be about to loose balance. Still his expression showed he probably was unaware that he was having trouble breathing, or the reactions of his body to the excess of carbon dioxide.

AWy, sweetheart, calm down please. Piper tried again, trying not to cry, not to scare the boy if he was in fact conscious of anything that was going on around him.

AWyatt, baby! Emma tried, but he didnt seem to register her either.

AWyatt! BRO! Look at me! C.J shouted at him, standing in front of him. Wyatts eyes seem to react for a second, moving towards the boy, before turning back into stone.

On the corner, the little girls started crying insane in Coles arms. Eric, still hiding from the aforementioned demon, had trouble hiding his satisfaction grin, this was the legendary double blessed? This pitiful excuse of a man? D.J didnt know how to help his friend, and that made him feel horrible.

The three charmed ones were doing all they could think of to calm the boy down. Wyatt spasms increased, his body was swinging, they were all scared he might faint in any second. His face was covered with sweat, but he seemed unaware of all this.

Finally Jake got an idea, he felt bad tricking Wyatt, but it was better than having him hyperventilating till he passed out. He rubbed his ear and glamoured into Chris.

AWyatt, bro. he said in Chris soft voice walking to the double blessed. He put his hand on his shoulder and stepped into his vision field AEverything is ok, I need you to calm down for me, ok? I am fineY He said soothingly.

Wyatt stayed immobile (or as immobile as his spasms and lack of balance allowed him to), but his eyes went into Jakes (glamoured as Chris) direction.

AThats right, bro, calm down, nothing is going to happen. You are good, you are really good, and Ill never let you turn into that monster. Jake said calmly and soothingly, holding him steady so he wouldnt fall.

AI already have. Wyatt mumbled, though he sounded like an automaton, it was some sort of progress.

ANoY thats not youY well find him, and solve it allYok? Do you trust me Wyatt?

Wyatt looked at him, focused on him. AI am scared, Chris. He admitted, defeated.

And Jake hugged him dearly, Wyatt finally hugged him back. AOk, breathe with meY follow my leadYinYoutYinY

AI dont want to hurt you. Wyatt said devastated, his breathing more and more erratic.

ABreathe, WyattY just breathe, ok?

AI dont want to be evil! He continued.

ADamn it, Wyatt! Jake said desperate shaking him, Wyatt looked at him scared and startled. ANOW YOU WILL FOLLOW MY LEADY OK? BREATHEY NOWY He yelled at him AInY outY inY Wyatt looked at him, and followed the instructions. ANowYlets go with your mom. He said gently leading him to Chris bed where Piper was seated.

AYour mom? Wyatt asked confused, Jake, looking as Chris, ignored him and leaded him to his mom, who was waiting for him with her arms wide open.

Piper embraced him and kissed his temples; he rested his head on her shoulders and she lovingly helped him into bed.

AI dont want to sleep, mom. Wyatt begged.

AShhY everything is going to be ok, dont sleepY just lay down and relax, concentrate on your breathing, ok? Piper said softly.

Wyatts eyes wondered around the room and saw his dad was still crying, far from him, as if he was scared of getting closer.

ADad. He said, looking at him.

Leo was there in an instant. AI am here son, I am so sorryY I was worried; I am so worried about whats going on with you, and with Chris and everythingY I justY I have no excuse.

AI am not a monster, dad? He begged him to reassure him, hyperventilating again.

ANoY calm down, Wy pleaseY calm down, you are not a monster, you are a great brother, ok? He said holding his hand. Wyatt nodded, his breathing still unstable. ANowY just restY calm downY

Wyatt focused on breathing as he was being asked, his eyes wide open, fighting against exhaustion, he was really having a hard time relaxing and stabilizing his respiration.

Nobody saw C.J convincing Emma, or knew what he was convincing her about. Suddenly Emma sighed and took the little vial C.J was offering her. They both walked together to where Wyatt was lying. Emma took her shoes off and crawled inside the blankets near her boyfriend. C.J kept his parents from preventing it.

AHey, sweetie. She said lovingly, pecking his cheek.

He looked at her and smiled blissfully, wrapping her in his arms searching for tranquility.

AWhat are you doing here? He asked kissing her neck.

AYou told me a few hours ago that you would sleep better if I was here beside you, right? She turned around so her face could be right in front of his, as C.J leaded his VERY reluctant parents outside of Chris bedroom area and close the curtain that served as a division from the rest of the attic.

ATrust me. C.J mouthed to them.

The other two did, but werent happy about it.

AI dont want to sleep. Wyatt said, holding her close.

She just kissed him passionately, lovingly. AWhat about doing this?

He smiled happily and kissed her again, for a long time. Wyatt was facing the ceiling. She elbowed the bed, lifting herself a little and started sweetly caressing his face. Seeing how actually part of C.Js plan had work, forcing him to think about something else, helped him to forget about his hyperventilation, his breathing was now pretty stable, and he actually was smiling; while his girlfriend caressed and pecked every inch of his face.

ADo you know how much I love you, Wy? She whispered in his ear.

ATell me over and over againY I will never get bored of hearing that. He smiled happily.

AI love you more than anything, sweetieYremember that, ok? She sweetly pecked his lips, he wrapped her in his arms and forced her to turn her peck into a long, deep kiss.

AJust so I dont forget. Wy excused himself with a mischievous smile.

AWyY she whispered, kissing his neck.

AWhat? He let go a pleasure sigh and caressed her back.

ADid your father ever told you why they think I lost my powers? She whispered casually, but could feel how he started getting hysterical again. She kissed him and caressed him, trying to calm him down. ACalm down, my dear.

Emma felt her ribs crack with the pressure her boyfriend was inflicting in them.

AWhy? He asked.

AThe rumor in the underworld is that the new source came from the future; that he came with his wife and has her in some untraceable chamber in the underworld. For what they say he also has a man, a young man, in there; they say he is sickY that he hurt him himselfY but he wont let him die. They say these two people are the two only real weaknesses of the new source. She said as softly and calmly as she could caressing him soothingly.

ASoYI brought you from the future and have you and Chris trapped somewhere? He said sadly.

AAnd you married me. She said playfully, pecking his lips, trying to keep a light mood, for his sake.

AYeahYit figures thats the only thing you would care about. He said kissing her amused, holding her close to her.

ASo nowY She said seriously, looking at him.

Wyatt just looked at her scared.

AYou wont be able to sleep peacefully again until we solve this, or at least until you see everything you are meant to see, Wy, you know that, right?

Wyatt nodded sadly. AButY

AThat wasnt Chris, honeyY I am sorryYnowYOpen your mouth, Wy! She pleaded, placing her arm underneath his neck.

Wyatt swallowed in fear, sadly, but did what she asked him to. She uncorked the vial with her mouth and helped the content through his throat.

AIll be right hereY well all beY you dont have to be afraid. I love you so much, sweetie! She mumbled in his ear comforting words until he finally felt asleep.

ADoneY She said sadly, opening the curtain and walking to where everybody was waiting.

Manor-Attic.

Agregar Eric thoughts about Cole

Meanwhile, while they were all busy with WyattY

Cole entered the attic and gasped, he fought against the tears in his eyes, his little girl was sitting there on the couch, beside her cousins. Cole felt his heart pumping like never before. It was his dream come true, and he wasnt going to waste it.

He sat beside his girl. AHello, I am Cole. He said sweetly to the three girls.

AI am Penny, and this is my sister Patty and my cousin Prue. Penny introduce them affably.

ANice meeting you! Cole smiled, you cant even imagine how nice, he thought to himself.

AWhat are you doing here? Penny asked him.

AI came to help your family

AAre you a friend of them? Penny continued, the other two were focusing in the discussion in front of them.

AI used to beY a long time ago. I was a very good friend of Prues mom. He said sadly.

Prue looked at him and smiled, he couldnt help caressing her dark hair lovingly.

AAnd you are just as beautiful as her. He mumbled sweetly and adoringly.

She kept on smiling at him sweetly, the two other girls smiled too. Prue was always the shyest of them all, so if she liked him, the other two would automatically vouch her in that.

Wyatt started screaming hysterically, and Prue looked at him scared, startled by her favorite cousins screams.

Cole picked her up and placed her on his lap, wrapping her in his arms. AIts okY he is going to be ok, I wont let anything happen to him, sweetheart. He cooed at her and she snuggled in his chest looking for comfort. The other two got closer to him, resting on his sides. He wrapped them all in his arms, comforting them.

After a while Patty ran to Wyatt and the other two followed, wrapping his legs affectionately, the three kids did all they could to cheer up his cousin. And Cole could help sniffing.

He had watched those kids grow up, maybe they couldnt see them, but he did; and he loved them, as if they were his family. All of them, despite everything, and despite the problems he might have with Piper and Paige or even Leo, he adored not only his little girl, but all the kids in his family, as if they were his nephews.

Prue and the girls ran back to him. Prue climbed back to his lap, and snuggled against his chest.

AWhy are you crying? Penny asked him sweetly, resting her cheek against his lap. Patty stretched to caressed his hair comfortingly.

Cole just caressed her hair. ADont worryY its okYI guessed I have been wishing I had three sweet little angels around me for a long time. He said sweetly.

The three girls smiled and accepted his compliment in a way no grown up would have done.

&&&&&&&&&

Underworld- Wyatts Lair, Chris Chambers.

Emma entered Chris room meekly; her steps were slow and uncertain, her hands behind her back.

AIs everything ok, Emma? Chris asked concerned.

She didnt answer, she just walked to him and offered him what she had been carrying, hidden behind her back.

AYeahY I found one of Wyatts flaws, sort ofY something that he was obviously going to overlook. She said sadly.

AWHAT? Chris bursted excited and eagerly. AWhat he didnt think about?

AWyatt doesnt know a thing about female products and he loves me too much not to give me everything I want. She gulped sadly, her voice was practically a whispered mumbled, her face, looking down.

AWhat do you mean?

AWhen Wyatt conjured my room, he conjured everything I might needed, everything that I have in our houseY he also conjured the case where I have my make up. She whispered.

Chris took what she was giving him, a piece of white cloth; a black and a red eye liner.

AYou should be able to use them to write a spell. She said sadly.

AThanks! Chris smiled at her happy and grateful.

APlease tell me I am doing the right thing here! Her voice was hoarse and uncertain, about to break down.

AYou know it isYeverything is going to be okY we are going to save him. He said reassuringly.

AAnd you? The poison? She said scared.

Chris smiled, glad to see she cared. AYou have four antidote vials that should buy us enough time to find a solution to that too. He tried to restore her confidence.

She nodded, obviously still frighten.

Wanna help me? He said as cheery as he could.

Emma sat down on the bed. AAny ideas?

AIt has to be vagueY Wyatt had probably thought of all the most obvious ways to get out of here; so we cant take chancesY we have to make something broad enough to contemplate all the options.

AWhat do you mean? She asked.

ALike the spell should say something like ATo let us out of here. Without specifying howY so the spell itself would "try" all the possible options, until it finds a way to let us get out. he explained.

AAnd then we will have to start figuring all the options, so we can find out what the spell actually did? Emma said.

ABasically. Chris nodded, thinking.

AIt might take us a long timeY She sighed.

AYeahY but better that than trying something and failing.

&&&&&&&&&

Manor-Attic.

ATeddy Prue whispered in Cole´s chest AAre Wyatt and Chris going to be alright?

AHow did you call me? Cole asked shocked.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
