Chapter Twelve
"Hello, Lexy."
Lexy jumped as she turned around to see Wyatt who had just shimmered in right behind her while making a potion in the attic. "What are you doing here?"
"Now is that any way to greet your future husband?"
"Unless you find a way to get rid of the source's powers and turn back to good, we will never be married," Lexy retorted.
Wyatt, however, was not offended by her words and remained surprisingly calm. He was expecting this reaction from her. "You think that just because I'm evil I don't care about you anymore? I still love you, Lexy."
"Then why can't you change back, and come back to your family. They are the people that really care about you."
"And give up all my power? Everything I worked hard to achieve?" Wyatt responded. "I think not. However I do have an offer for you."
"I'm listening," Lexy answered.
"Join me. Join the dark side and become my queen."
"You are out of your mind. You actually think I am going to join you and turn evil?"
"You were on my side before you came back do the past. What's changed?"
Lexy shot back, "What's changed is that after seeing your family and how much they care about you, well baby you, I realized that evil can't love and care that way."
"Lexy, this is about power! Not good verses evil! We can still have children if you want and we will raise them together. Our kids will grow up to be strong and powerful and we will still care about them."
"They will inherit the source's power and be evil, Wyatt, just like you!"
"There is nothing wrong with having power. With both of us together we can rule the world. You can have control over anyone, especially those who are weak."
"No one deserves that kind of power, Wyatt, least of all you."
"I'm sorry you feel that way. If you change your mind just call before it's too late." And after that statement Wyatt disappeared leaving Lexy alone in the attic.
Underworld
"Well, what did she say," the Seer inquired as Wyatt returned to the underworld.
"She won't join me," Wyatt answered simply.
"That is no shock to me. It is not in the nature of good to understand the importance of power."
"But they do understand love," Wyatt replied.
"Be careful," Seer warned. "Don't let your feelings for this girl get in the way of your success. The last source that fell in love with a witch lost all his powers and his life."
"I am well aware of this story," Wyatt replied frustrated. "It was my Aunt Phoebe that he fell in love with. But this is different. I'm sure if I try a little harder I can convince Lexy to be on my side."
"And what about your family? What are you going to do about them?"
"I will eliminate them I they get in my way."
"You have not killed any of them yet. They will try to take away your power. You must be careful."
"They won't be able to turn me back without baby Wyatt, which is still here, right?"
"I have demons looking after him right now. I assure you that he is safe. But that is not the only thing that they need to change you. Your brother has worked really hard to turn you back. I assure you he won't give up easily."
"And what do you suggest that I do about that?" Wyatt asked.
"You must eliminate him immediately."
"How!" demanded Wyatt. "I already tried and failed."
"You are in the past now. In this time Chris has not even been born. If you kill your mother, then you will destroy him as well and also demolish the power of three. Then there will be no one ever near as powerful as you are."
"You're suggesting that I kill both my brother and my mother?" Wyatt remembered the guilt that he felt when the thought he killed Chris. He could not imagine what it would feel like if he killed his mother also.
"Sometimes in order to achieve and maintain great power you must make sacrifices." The Seer turned to see that Wyatt was still struggling with this idea. "I give you some time to ponder over this plan, but do not take too long. You can't waste anymore time debating on what to do. You must have a plan ready and fast."
And when Wyatt looked over his shoulder she was gone, leaving him in complete disorientation over what to do.
