Hey, so thanks for all the reviews! I'm glad you're liking this story so much! I've decided that, when I finish this story (and I'm not sure when that will be...I need to decide at what age to cut this off...hehe), I'm going to rewrite it, add some chapters, put some more character in it...I guess. I dunno...I've been watching the early episodes of Charmed, and I've noticed that I need to just...add more..hehe.
Oh, and just so youall know,this is (quite obviously) AU. Ihave nointention of putting Coop,or Henry, or any of their real kids in this...I didn't even really get used to that plotline...I have no idea if I like it enough to make it part of the story (which I apparentlytake FAR too seriously..HAHA!)
Anyways, also, I wanted to say that I'm sorry this chapter is short. I wanted to end it at a certain part, and well...it doesn't really matter or anything...so...ENJOY!
On with the story!
Wyatt Halliwell-Wyatt is a weird name- and other random thoughts...
by MEEEEEEEEEEEEE- and me.
The family stared at Leo for a good long while.
"He's a what?" Piper said, in complete shock.
"A what?" Yeah...Chris just had no idea what his daddy was talking about...
"You're a what?" Wyatt said, eyes wide. He'd heard about these people!
"I'm a what?" Paige asked. Everyone looked at her, and she grinned. "What...I wanted to be in it, too..." When everyone stayed silent, she looked down and noticed that the top of her paper- thin shirt had ripped. "I think I'll just go...man...I think I need to change my shirt..."
"Yeah..alright...so, Leo...let me get this straight...Chris is the heir to Excalibur...and an empath?" Piper tried to understand. No child is that blessed...never.
"Well...can we talk about this in ...a different room?" Leo urged his wife.
"Why?"
"Becuase...well...it has to do with...Chris." Leo hissed. Piper looked confused, and then realized very quickly.
"Oh...yeah, sure. Why not...Chris, Wyatt, go to your room."
"But, I wanna know what an Impact is!" Chris whined.
"Empath, dummy. I know what one is. I'll tell you." Wyatt said, orbing up to their room. Chris quickly followed.
"Don't call your brother a-" But they were already gone. "...never mind. You're not listening anyways...alright. Now, where were we?" Piper turned to her husband.
"Wyatt! Cwis! YOU'WE NOT WATCHING!" Melinda was screaming her head off, and levitating at the same time. Now that was a gift.
"Melinda, please. My head hurts!" Chris wished he never became an impact...or...empact...Wyatt was trying to explain, but Melinda kept levitating onto their bed and shrieking with laughter.
What happened to her bad dream, you ask? Well, her mother decided to "do her job" and sooth her child...stupid Phoebe. Now, no one will EVER get a moment of peace.
"CWIS! CWIS! STOP COVEWING YOUR EYES!" Melinda screamed in her cousin's ear, who winced and telekenetekally threw a pillow back at her. "OW! MOMMY!"
"No! Please, don't call Aunt Phoebe!" Wyatt said, scared to get grounded three times in a day...or was it four...either way, Wyatt didn't want to set any records...
"But-but Cwis hit me!" Melinda said, tearing up. Wyatt rolled his eyes, while Chris magicked the pillow back to him and put his head under it. His head hurt so much!
"Yeah, but he didn't mean it!" But it was too late. Melinda ran out to get her Mommy, so that she could get Chris' mommy to ground him- again.Oddly enough, Chris didn't seem to care.
"Wyatt...it hurts!" Chris whimpered himself, really hating this new power. He just kept hearing everyone's feelings and thoughts...right now, his Mommy and Daddy were downstairs, and they were both sad for some reason. Auntie Paige had a tummyache, and Melinda was angry- probably at Chris for hitting her.
Of course, this meant that Chris was feeling some version of all of this. Sick, sad, and angry. Not the best feeling in the world.
"I'm sorry, Chris."
"No, you're not." Chris could kind-of tell. Wyatt was not sorry at all. Wyatt was...jealous?
"Yes I am."
"No, you're not. You're jealous...of me." ...Maybe this power wasn't so bad...
"What? Jealous of what? Of your giant head? That you're a whiny brat?" ...As a sudden burst of anger hit, Chris hated his power once again.
"No...I dunno...Wyatt, I don't wanna talk right now!" Chris was feeling everyone else's feelings at the moment. Why on earth would he want to have some of his own?
Now, that surprised Wyatt. "Woah...you don't wanna talk? You're head must kill."
"Really, now.." Chris replied, sarcastically. Maybe if he slept a bit...
...ok, he will never sleep again, apparently. Too many voices...
"Wyatt..." Chris was in absolute misery...absolute...misery...
"What?" He was going to be sympathetic to his little brother if it killed him...well, maybe not if it killed him. But if Wyatt had to cut his hear or something to be sympathetic to Chris, he'd do it!
"Can you orb down the street and help Mrs. Franklin with her chicken? She's being really loud about the stupid chicken..."
...Wyatt was in shock. A chicken? What the hell was Chris hearing?
And whycouldn't he hear it? You know, for being the "Twice Blessed" and everything, Chris was a lot more powerful than him...
"Believe me, you don't want this, Wyatt." Chris replied, and started to cry. His head REALLY HURT!
"Um...I'm going to get Aunt Phoebe. She's am empath, too. Maybe she can tell you how to handle it..." Wyatt said, running from the room. He was scared...true...but mostly, he didn't want Chris to read his ...whatever...anymore...
Meanwhile, downstairs, Leo figured that the best way not to get blown up in this situation was to ease into what he was going to tell his wife. "...Do you remember...when you went into the past the first time?"
"The first time...no, sorry...can't remember that far back." Was Piper expected to remember every single demon vanquish and time travel incident? It wasn't as if someone released their lives on DVD...according to season...and made it into a Primetime TV show...or anything.
"When you had to break the bond between the demon Nicholas." Apparently, Leo watched these non-existant DVD's every night...
"The demon Nicho...how the hell do you remember them all?"
"It's a whitelighter thing...but do you remember?" Nicholas...pretty ring...used to try and kill them (who didn't)...Phoebe's obsession with baby pictures...a very vague recollection was coming to her.
"I guess...yeah...when we met little Prue and Piper, right?"
"Right. Well, Grams said, over and over from the time you were little, that you have to be really careful when you change the past." Piper never heard that phrase...nor could she think of a way that Grams could have said something like that without one of them replying that time travel was impossible...but she didn't want to fight with her husband right now.
"Alright, whatever. Get on with it."
"When Chris came back, he knew what he was and wasn't supposed to say and do."
"Following so far."
"Saving Wyatt and telling us he was our son was a definate no-no."
"Ok. Stopped following. Why would he come back if it wasn't to save his brother? And what was he supposed to do, then? Let Gideon get to Wyatt because we kicked him out? Leo, would you rather have an Evil Overlord for a son!"
"Piper, you know I wouldn't. But Chris wasn't supposed to stop it. When he did, he messed up everything."
"What did Chris mess up that's worse than his brother killing everyone?"
"Chris messed up his own existence. He's not supposed to be this powerful. And he's definately not supposed to be an empath."
"How did he manage that? Think he 'picked up a few things' from the womb, do you?" Piper couldn't believe her ears. Her son was kind of odd, true, but mostly, her son was perfect.
"In the original timeline, I wasn't an Elder when he was concieved."
"...What?"
"I was a regular Whitelighter before Chris-"
"I know what you mean!" Piper replied angrily. "So, instead of half-whitelighter...Chris is half...Elder?"
"Yes. But, Elders are just more advanced Whitelighters."
"So, why is this a problem?"
"It's not the only thing he changed. When you do a force of great good, you change your future. In Chris' case, he changed his entire life."
"Again, get on it with it, Whitelighter."
"Chris is an empath, only because he saved his brother."
"I still don't understand why this is a problem."
"Empaths are supposed to be earned over lifetimes. So that they can handle their gift. If it's just given like it was, the witch has well..." Leo hoped his wife would understand what he was getting at.
"...Wait, are you telling me that Chris isn't going to be able to handle the empathy?" Piper said, standing a little straighter. "Didn't Prue almost die because she couldn't handle it?" Why couldn'ther sons be normal...break bones...bruise...scab? Why was it always near-fatal?
"Now you see the problem."
Alright, hope you liked it!
I'm off to bed, seeing as it's 3 in the morning and I have graduation in...3 days and 11 hours! Good night, people!
WATCH RE-RUNS IN ORDER!
PLEASE REVIEW!
Sincerely,
Leora the soon-to-be High School Graduate...
