Matt starred at Chris blankly. "What!"he exclaimed "You…. You think I'm your brother. You think I'm Wyatt?"
"Yeah," Chris answered cautiously. Matt didn't seem to be thrilled with what he was suggesting.
"No," Matt said shaking his head more than he really needed to. "No it's not possible," It couldn't be, he thought to himself. If he was Wyatt then his family weren't his family. The people, who he had been calling mom and dad for the past fifteen years, weren't who he thought they were. They wouldn't be his parents and he wasn't going to accept that.
"I…I need to go," Matt informed him getting up from the floor and heading for the door.
"Matt wait… Please," Chris pleaded.
Matt span around looking at Chris angrily. "Your Mad Chris! Your bloody Mad!" he answered shaking his head in disbelief.
"Please, just listen to me," Chris begged "Two minutes that all I ask. Then if you still think I'm a basket case then I won't stop you running for the hills!"
Matt could see that Chris genuinely believed what he was saying. He had to admit that he wanted to know why this kid, that he had known for just a couple of hours believed without a doubt that he was his long lost brother. Matt nodded in agreement. "Alright two minutes,"
"Okay," Chris began. "If you weigh up all the evidence it all points to this conclusion. Firstly you have the ability to not just orb, but to freeze time and see the past and future. These are powers that you have got too have inherited from your parents. You yourself said that you don't believe your mom and dad posses these powers,"
Matt just nodded; he didn't believe that his parents could do the things that he could, for a start they would of told him. They were terrible at keeping secrets. He remembered once when he was six his pet hamster Ben had died and his parents had bought a replacement and decided not to tell him. It would of worked too if his mother hadn't of broken down and confessed all to him as soon as he had seen the animal. He couldn't understand why she had told him. He hadn't noticed the difference, it looked the same and it wasn't as if the hamster was going to introduced it's self as an impostor, now was it!
Matt refocused his attention on Chris and what he was saying. "Then there's the fact that you had the premonition, the fact that you described in detail my brothers disappearance. You recognised my mother as soon as you saw her,"
"Chris I'd just had a head splitting vision in which she guest starred, so that could explain that one," Matt argued.
"Maybe so," Chris answered. He wasn't giving up yet. "But then there's also the book. It knew you. There was a connection. When we both touched it there was a feeling, wasn't there?"
Matt nodded "Yeah," he sighed, Chris' argument was becoming more and more convincing. "There was some sort of bond,"
"Exactly!" Chris' face lit up with excitement. "When you saved me from that pasting Tommy was about to give me, for a split second, when I saw you I thought you were my dad. You look so much like him,
"I don't know Chris. This is all just too much," Matt's voice faltered with emotion. "If what you say is true, then my whole life has, is a lie. I don't think I can handle this at the moment. I'm sorry," Matt apologised heading down the attic stairs.
Chris quickly followed him "Matt wait!" Chris wasn't giving up that easy. Matt was Wyatt. That he was sure of. Even if all the evidence wasn't there. There was this feeling; Matt had summed it up perfectly. A bond, they had a connection, they both knew it. They were both outsiders, who didn't exactly fit in. They had found each other this morning. Both cutting class and being in the same place at the same time. All of this was more than a coincidence. He wasn't letting his brother go that easy. It might take some time but Matt would come round to the idea eventually, this was just shock.
Matt rounded the corner at the bottom of the attic stairs and bumped straight into Piper. "Hey there," she answered with a smile. "What's the rush?"
Matt just stared at her. If by some small chance what Chris was saying was true then this was his mother. If he was Wyatt then his was the woman that he should be calling mom. "I…I," he stuttered
"This my friend mom," Chris answered from behind Matt "Mom this is Matt. Matt this is my mom,"
"Nice to meet you Matt," Piper smiled warmly at him.
Matt just starred again. Finally he found the words "Yeah, you too. Sorry I have to go," He ran past Piper towards the stairs that led to the ground floor. Piper gave Chris a look that said 'what the hell', but he ignored it and quickly followed Matt down the stairs.
Piper followed to hearing her son call for his friend. "Matt wait we need to talk about this,"
"No we don't," Matt yelled. He stopped dead when he saw a woman being thrown against a wall.
"Paige!" Piper screamed. She tried to blow him up but he shimmered out and back in before she had chance too. "Leo," she screamed "Leo get down here. Paige is hurt,"
The familiar sound of orbing filled the room. "What's going on?" Leo asked barely dodging a fireball.
"Demon," Piper yelled as more demons shimmered in "Heal Paige,"
Leo ran to her side and began to heal her. Paige woke with a start "Are you alright?" he asked her.
"Yeah," she answered as Leo helped her up "Chris look out!" she screamed noticing an energy ball being thrown at her nephew. Both Paige and Leo watched in horror as ball closed in on Chris. Chris saw it coming just in time and orbed out of its path. He re-materialised next to his aunt and father just in time to see another energy ball being thrown. This time it was at Matt, who had been frozen to the spot since the attack had begun.
"Matt," Chris screamed. But it was no good. Matt seemed paralysed.
He could hear Chris, but he couldn't register what he was saying. All he knew was that a bright ball of something that was probably going to kill him was heading straight at him. He closed his eyes. I'm going to die, he thought. Please, Please God get me out of this. It seemed like an eternity, but nothing happened. He was waiting for something to happen. But it never did! Opening his eyes he was met by four stunned faces starring back at him. Well three stunned faces, Chris' was just grinning. After a moment he noticed something weird. Everything around him had a strange blue tinge to it. A blue dome surrounded him.
The adults were still starring at him. Chris' mother had tears in her eyes. Matt closed his as she uttered the one name he really didn't want to hear. "Wyatt!"
