Chapter six: Breakfast with Wyatt

When Chris opened his eyes the next morning, he found Wyatt sitting at the edge of his bed, just looking at him. He jumped, scared. ´He knows!´

"What do I know?" Wyatt asked calmly.

But Chris had trained himself at the whole meaning of words. He could get over that just answering something that was true Wyatt knew but that wasn't necessary what was on his mind.

"You know tons of things...brother"

Wyatt seemed annoyed. Chris decided he had to make him think of something else

"Especially that that way of appearing scares the crap out of me. Last night I almost had a heart attack when you whispered that I should follow you"

Wyatt smiled lightly. "That will teach you."

Chris sat on the bed. "What are you doing here? I thought you said you'd call me"

"I decided to come and check on you. I've been doing that the whole night. I just can't believe I have you here finally"

Chris could sense an honest joy coming from his brother. That made him felt almost guilty about the night before. He tried to think of something else.

"I thought you could sense my presence. Why come in here?"

"Cause is not the same, little brother...I just missed you and I miss when I got up at night and went to check that you were all right"

Chris gave his brother a genuine smile.

"Oh..I remember those times" he answered thoughtfully.

After Piper had died, Leo had spent all his time searching for her killer. And Wyatt had been the one that had taken care of Chris. Chris was still a teen and Wyatt had been the one that took care of him. He even had a job even if he wasn't much older than Chris.. His job was assisting a teacher at magic school. Chris was sure Wyatt was a great teacher...and then...after Leo died...Wyatt had turned, leaving Chris all alone. Wyatt used to check up on him at night after Piper died cause Chris had developed a huge response to his dreams. When he would wake up and find that Piper was gone the grief of losing her again could have destroyed the city...if Wyatt hadn't been there to calm him down. Chris had helped Wyatt to get the job. He had also helped him when their mom had died and Wyatt's own grief had caused him problems at work and school. Those days had been rough for both, especially for Chris waking up at night all sweaty and with his room shaking, without parents, only Wyatt. They had been rough days but now sometimes Chris felt nostalgic of those times.

"We'll have to stop thinking of old times, Chris. It's useless"

"I agree. But it's your fault. You mentioned those days and you sent me those dreams...and now I keep thinking of mom."

"I'm sorry. You'll have to help me at vanquishing that demon. I wanted you to know that after all this time I had finally found the way. And the spell doesn't start working at all its potential immediately so I wanted to probe it by a mental bond with you until it would be fully working and just bring you here when you couldn't resist at all."

"Well, it worked. I'm all yours now" Chris said bitterly looking at his sheets.

"Everything will be all right." Wyatt looked at Chris almost smiling trying to make him feel better but his brother looked away. Wyatt stood up avoiding Chris's look.

"Do you want to have breakfast with me?"

"Why do you ask? Am I not like your servant now?."

Wyatt was starting to lose his patience. Chris felt sorry his brother's initial joy was disappearing.

"I want this to work, and I want you back too. But if you don't want to spend time with me I'll respect that and I'll just call you for work stuff. " Wyatt seemed angry but Chris's heart was touched when he realized Wyatt was anxiously waiting for his answer.

He also felt it was a hard choice. If he could spend time apart from Wyatt it would help his interest. He could think of ways out and besides his brother was always dangerous cause he could read his feeling and thoughts. But at the same time, he missed Wyatt and he was touched by his brother's behavior. And he really didn't want to hurt him when he was being so kind to him.

"Well...of course.." he answered hesitatingly, not very sure if this was the best to answer.

Wyatt smiled enthusiastically. "Good choice. Cause there is no way out, Chris. Get dressed with some of the clothes I've left you and I´ll call you when everything is ready. This will be great, don't worry. You are finally by my side." he orbed out smiling, leaving Chris with a conflict that was torturing his heart.

Chris got dressed as his brother had ordered; almost smiling when he saw that the whole wardrobe was black. That was so Wyatt's style. Leo's job had been a great issue to him and now he hated everything related with white-lighters...even white wardrobe. He realized he could postpone obeying the orders by thinking he would do them later when Wyatt didn't say now. But he had to avoid using that until it was really necessary. He would need all the knowledge about how to avoid or postpone Wyatt's orders later. Because he couldn't guess what Wyatt would do to him when he learnt about the warnings Chris had made. But just the idea scared the hell out of him.
He decided he needed something to distract him whenever his thoughts went to something he didn't want Wyatt to know..what could it be..may be a song. He remembered a commercial he had seen on TV in the past. That would work. It wasn't related to anything and it helped sending thoughts away. So whenever Wyatt asked something he didn't want to answer he would think of that song and tried to say another truth if there was any. That wasn't much but at least it was something. The good thing was that thanks to Brittany and Ashcroft the resistance against Wyatt would be warned and he could give Wyatt any information without causing real damage. But he had to be careful and hide his thoughts and feelings to delay Wyatt in learning about his warning and the way he had done it. Because once he learned of this, he would not only be pissed but he would also understand he hadn't been careful enough with his orders.
Chris almost shook. He knew his brother and he knew he had a plan for him. He didn't even want to think what the plan was about but he knew he wouldn't like it.
Sighing, he looked at the mirror. He looked like a dark-lighter, he even looked a little like Wyatt. Whatever...at least he wasn't looking like Leo. He vaguely thought of him. He wondered if his relatives at the past were worried about him. He remembered something, for the way he had left things he would probably never be born. And now no one could help him fix that. It didn't really matter. From what he knew, things couldn't have been worse. May be it would be better not to be born at all.
Still he was surprised to find himself a little anxious for his breakfast with Wyatt. He missed those kinds of things. With his parents he had always been hiding. With Brittany there had always been distrust. Only with Bianca and Wyatt he felt he could be himself. Well..with the old Wyatt. But he couldn't help thinking a part of him was just happy he was living with his brother again. Well, that part should remember that Wyatt wasn't the brother he had loved anymore. But it was hard. Wyatt was honestly happy to have him there. He could tell by his empathy. Still Wyatt had killed Bianca, and many others. And he had tried to kill him. And the spell...it was disgusting...he knew Wyatt could have made it so much worse and made him suffer so much more with it but he still hated the idea of being someone's slave, even Wyatt's. Besides his brother hadn't hidden what he was planning to do, and that he would take full use of the spell. That was just scary. As he had no problem in making him betray his friends he wouldn't have a problem in ordering more horrible things.
He was looking in the mirror again when he heard Wyatt's voice in his head 'Chris, come here". In just a minute he appeared by Wyatt's side in a sort of office. His brother was at a set up table, smiling.

"I'm glad you joined me, brother"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Piper was feeding baby Wyatt in the kitchen. Phoebe was at the table working on her column. Paige was at her job number two hundred and Leo had gone to see the elders to see if he could find out something about Chris.

"Chesse...chesee"

Piper looked at her baby.

"What sweetie? You want cheese?"

The baby looked at her sadly.

"Chesse cheese"

"Oh..you mean you miss Chris"

The baby just stared at her.

"Ya..swettie..me too" Piper played with her son's hair.

Suddenly Paige orbed in making Piper scream.

"You scared the hell out of me, Paige! Don't do that"

"Sorry" Paige shook her hair that was covered with a strange thing. "Just came to work on my hair and then I´ll go back to work"

"I thought your job was baby-sitting...what happened to your hair?"

Paige's hair was covered with...something...it was difficult to tell.

"Apparently it was a magical baby! That didn't want to eat and can really handle telekinesis, her parents don't know what's going on with her BTW. She's adopted. Someone adopted a telekinetically baby and her parents think she's Carrie. Dam adopting system! Why do I keep doing these things? It was supposed to be NORMAL job." Paige played with Wyatt's hair. "But she wasn't as cute as you, my favorite nephew..you are so cute"

The baby smiled at her.

"See? He knows me! You know Aunt Paige, right fellow? Can you say Paige?"

"Shheissh"

"Close enough. See? He loves me!"

"He just said Cheese and I think he meant Chris"

"Nothing yet, hum?" Paige's look was sad. It was as Chris had never existed. No news, no trace no nothing. As he had never been there.

"Leo went to check with the elders..but I don't really have hope"

"You wouldn't put a spell on Chris, right baby?" Piper played with her son's hair. He looked at her seriously.

"Cheesse...Cheeesse"

"Ya. I know"

Leo orbed in. Piper´s face lit up.

"Any news?"

"No…as Chris comes from the future...they don't know who the hell he is or will be...no way to find out either"

"This can't be happening...may be we should try to go to the future." Piper looked thoughtful.

"It's too risky. First of all Chris never told us how far from the future we are talking about, just that Wyatt is as an adult there. But the thing is: if Wyatt is really evil and put that spell on Chris there is no way to bring him back. Wyatt can order him to go back any time he wants…the only way to really help Chris is lifting the spell" Leo said sadly.

"But only..." suddenly Piper's look was caught by the baby and she continued.

"Hey…only Wyatt can do it…but Wyatt is here...if the spell worked for him, may be he can lift it…you said time and space didn't matter.."

"Well...ya but the proof has to be the same...so we'll need future Wyatt´s and Chris' blood…and still the spell needs to be cast, talking...and even if Wyatt could talk which he can't, we have to mention the bond and we just don't know which it is".

"But Wyatt used blood...so it has to be a cousin or brother"

"I don't think he's Wyatt's on...we are separated. Perhaps it's far away in the future and he's Wyatt's son" Leo looked at Piper. He was more in denial than anything. He didn't even want to think he had treated his son the way he had treated Chris. Besides, the kid had always shown some animosity toward him. So, did that mean he was a terrible father? It had to be. He really didn't want to think of that possibility.

"Who would put a spell like that on his own son?" Paige asked. She was pretty sure now that Chris was Leo's son...it had to be...at least by the stubbornness. No, Chris was too hot to be her own son.

"And who would put that spell to his own cousin or brother? And how did Chris hide so well he was related to us?" Piper seemed really upset. She was feeling the truth inside her but she couldn't believe it she hadn´t recognize him...her own son...she had sensed nothing but no...it couldn´t be...Leo was right, they were separated so it wasn't possible. Still, she was uneasy.

"May be we can make the baby undo a spell for his brother and for his cousin" Paige suggested. "When I saw him I thought he was so hot...he can't be my son"

"Oh...I'm going to answer that to "Hopeless from Dallas"...she gave her son away and now she thinks he's a guy she knows. She asked me how to be sure. I'll tell her that if she thinks he is hot then he isn't" Phoebe joined the group.

"Haven't you got a premonition or something?" Leo looked at her.

"You know I don't call them, they just come... I tried thinking of Chris a lot but I got nothing"

"Baby Wyatt is a good idea to undo the spell, we still need to figure out their bond but some words must be there...do you think he can say through time and space?" Leo looked at Piper.

"If he just says Cheese...cheese...think that would help?"

Leo shook his head sadly and he looked at Wyatt. Wyatt smiled at him and Leo took him in his arms.

"You can learn...right son?"

"Daaaada"

Leo hugged him.

"Ya..you know who I am"

He thought for a while and he continued speaking with the baby in his arms.

"I think it's a good idea to make the baby lift the spell. It'll take time but we can do it. We'll start teaching him the main words...even if he doesn't say all of them if we are all together with the power of three and Wyatt's presence it may work. But Wyatt should say "Through time and space" and the words than mention the bond...it's the only way. We'll have to think on how to get future Wyatt and Chris's blood and how to find out how they are related."

"Can't we try to summon Chris...at least talk to him?" Piper looked at her ex-husband.

"We can't. We don't know how far in the future he is...and we have nothing that belongs to him, not to mention that Wyatt can make him lie. Summoning Wyatt could be easier"

"Oh...I don't think that Wyatt would want to cooperate...what do you think?" Phoebe glanced at the baby that was clearly happy to be in his father's arms.

"No. The same goes to going to the future. If Wyatt is so powerful it would be too risky and almost impossible to take his blood...and Chris'...and we still don't know how far in the future they are. I suggest we keep looking from here and teach those words to the baby. The best for Chris is to lift the spell"

The others nodded. Piper nodded absently. She didn't show it, but she didn't agree at all.

"Ok...I'll take care of my hair. "Paige orbed out to go upstairs.

Phoebe looked at Piper and Leo and she slowly went back to her office. When she looked back they were holding each other. She didn't think Chris was her son either.
Piper just hugged Leo. She could tell he was upset. "And Chris...where are you?...how are you?...are you my son?" she just couldn't stop wondering. She was still in Leo's arms when she promised herself "I don't care what Leo thinks, I'll try to find a way to go to the future and find Chris."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I'm glad you joined me, brother" Wyatt had spoken with real honesty.

"Just for breakfast" Chris answered coldly to Wyatt. He was kind of pissed of the sudden way Wyatt could orb him wherever he wanted.

"At lease it's a start right?"

"No, it's not. Cause I'll never join you really"

Wyatt looked disappointed at his brother's answer. Chris noticed this and he asked himself why but he still felt sorry for that jerk.

"Don't get mad, bro. It's your spell, you said answer always with the truth and immediately if it wasn't for that I would have said right or not answer at all. You should lift that order, Wyatt. No one handles the truth all the time. Not even you"

Wyatt smiled "Oh...I forgot. But I can't lift that, it's too useful"

"At least for breakfast? I don't want to piss you off without a real reason."

"Sorry but no"

"Well...then just stick to the consequences and don't get mad at me for saying the freaking truth" Chris looked around trying to think of something else or he would get angrier. He was already desperate at the situation and getting pissed at Wyatt over stupid things wouldn't solve anything. He wondered if he should have said no to have breakfast with his brother. But he missed Wyatt and he knew him. And even before turning his brother was to fear when he felt rejected. And his attitude had been so touching. Chris wished he could solve the conflict in his heart.

"I can read your thoughts, Chris. May be you are right about how I react to rejection but I was honest. I wasn't planning on doing anything if you said no. Just sit with me and calm down"

It wasn't Wyatt´s intention to give an order but Chris obeyed immediately. When he realized he had sat just because his brother had told him to, he felt angry, but he decided that none of this was worth a discussion. He moved uncomfortably in his chair.

"I know you are angry but it's not worth it. Stop fighting and everything will be all right. And sorry the table is so small I generally have breakfast alone. " Wyatt had tried to sound even sympathetic. As it wasn't his fault Chris was so angry.

"Oh, does that mean that there isn't any powerful witch in your life, won't I have an over powerful annoying nephew?"

Wyatt smiled.

"There are tons of girls. But I haven't found one that's powerful enough. "

Chris shook his head.

"Powerful enough...you are really changed brother...next thing I'll know is that you've married some green old witch with a big nose just because she's powerful enough. "

"That's not funny, Chris" but he was laughing. Chris smiled at him.

"I thought the source didn't take jokes".

"Just from you if you are careful".

"Well you were never good at that anyway, I remember being slammed to the roof for one little joke."

"Oh...poor Chris…as you've never done worse than that. And you got angrier than me at jokes"

"No"

"Tell the truth, Chris"

"Well...yes" Chris realized what he'd answered and he looked angry at his brother..."Damn you Wyatt"

Wyatt just smiled. Chris felt he had to add something."But your jokes were always worse than mine"

Chris focused on the table to avoid his brother's look. He couldn't help noticing that Wyatt had remembered his favorite things for breakfast. Wyatt seemed to be honestly happy he was there. His brother was too sure of his power over him, Chris thought. He tried to avoid thinking of what Wyatt would do when he realized about how he had warned Ashcroft. When he realized his thoughts were going there, he immediately thought of something else.

´Oh, I'd loved to be an Oscar Mayer Wiener
That is what I'd truly like to be
'Cause if I was an Oscar Mayer Wiener
Everyone would be in love with me´

"What's that?" Wyatt was surprised.

"What's what?" Chris just smiled, it had worked.

"You´d like to be what? That thing you are thinking. What the hell does it mean?"

Chris laughed " Nothing in particular, some commercial I heard in the past...it just gets in my head from time to time"

"I should definitely forbid those kinds of things now that I run the TV, but they are useful for manipulating people"

"My brother, the evil ruler of the world, I feel so proud." Chris said mockingly, and then he added firmly. "I know you are powerful and control everything, you don't have to brag"

"You didn't know about all the networks. I took them while you were gone". He made a pause as he was going to shut up but then changed his mind and added. "And I wasn't bragging".

"Yes you were. Modesty was never one of your virtues, if you had any "

"Oh...you are just jealous. But don't worry; you'll rule things too, first step is done. Now you have the proper outfit. But let me fix it...you don't look threatening enough"

Wyatt fixed Chris' jacket that was uneven. Chris moved.

"What the hell are you doing? I don't want to look threatening" Chris said angrily. He was going to unfix it but Wyatt stopped him.

"But I want you to and that's what matters. And it's better this way. Now you look like a cute little demon. And leave it that way. I need you to look threatening"

Chris stopped trying to fix it and he looked annoyed.

"What for?"

"I'll tell you later. I don't want to ruin things right now "

"Oh yea cause your spell makes them so great us." And he added angrily. "And I don't look like a demon."

"Yes you do. Say that you are a cute little demon, Chris"

"I'm a cute little demon" Chris said angrily and rolling his eyes. "You know, for someone so powerful you have fun too easily, and your spell is still better than being choked to say stupid things as you did when I was little. And you know, you are in an annoying, dangerously good mood today." he added angry at his brother smile but a little annoyed at his childish behavior.

"Oh...so I was the worst brother in the world. Choking you and slamming you to the roof, right?"

"Wrong. You were the best" Chris said sincerely. Wyatt almost smiled at the answer. Chris looked down after hearing what he had just said. "I remark the past tense" he added sadly.

"Well, of course I'm in a good mood" Wyatt said trying to change Chris' sad one. "I'm glad to have you here. How long has it been since the last time we had breakfast together?"

"Years. Since you'd killed Daniel and I left your jail"

"Daniel was a jerk. And he wasn't your family"

"He was my best friend. You killed him just because you didn't like him and because he was a white-lighter. Dad liked to leave; he would have been away even if he had another kind of job. You should understand that"

"I killed Daniel because he was fighting me, his job or dad's had nothing to do with it. The fact that I didn't like him just made it easier. I hope you'll get over that some day"

"I'll never get over that"

Chris talked fixing his eyes on the table and trying not to but thinking of Bianca. He had thought he would marry her and have kids with her. Wyatt had killed that dream too. Wyatt's voice surprised him.

"I tried to save her"

"Who?" Chris was surprised.

"Bianca. You were thinking about her, right?"

"Yes. But you've killed her...why would you...?"

"I've never meant to kill her as I've never meant to kill YOU. But you insisted on fighting and she got in the middle. I was just defending myself and then you got me too mad...but after you left I went and tried to save here. I'm sorry brother, but it was your fault too. If she would've made you join me as she had promised none of this would have happened. If you had just quit with that stupid going to the past plan she would be here. Not to mention the stupid good and evil ideas that you put in her head "

Chris knew that part of that was right. He hadn't thought of her when he was fighting Wyatt and he had left her behind thinking he would change things and she would be safe. And he had failed her, and Wyatt. Wyatt read this thought and he felt almost touched.

"I don't need to be saved. There's no way of saving me. You'll have to quit that stupid good and evil concept...and it's really risky to go the past. You can learn and change things that are supposed to be that way"

Chris knew that that was completely true. He tried to avoid the thought that he had destroyed himself with his trip to the past. But he wouldn't let Wyatt get off with that that easily.

"Bianca wanted to risk herself because she loved me and that's my fault. But that doesn't change the fact that YOU are the one that killed her."

"I told you I'm sorry and that I tried to save her. There isn't anything else I can do. Try to get over that and I'll try to get over you going to the past just to destroy everything I've built, and the fact that you said you'd forget you were my brother just because I'd killed that stupid white-lighter and the fact that you made a potion to vanquish me, using our family magic and sharing it with strangers."

"Whatever" Chris looked down again. He would fight Wyatt if he thought he had a chance. It was good to know he had gotten so pissed when he had said what he said about forgetting he was his brother. He didn't really mean that and he knew Wyatt had gotten what he really meant. Again, he tried to avoid thinking of the past. He'd have a chance to get even with Wyatt but that one just wasn't the proper moment.

"I can sense you are angry Chris but you have to change those silly ideas about good and evil. You know why Aunt Phoebe changed them? For love"

"I've always known that that was why Phoebe was your favorite aunt. But you know how his love ended right? Dead, killed by her, Aunt Paige and mom.

"Well, he came back after that. But yes, bad example. But you know, I don't think mom would have vanquished Aunt Phoebe. Even if she had stayed as the source's consort...the bond they shared as sisters was stronger than that."

"And it made Aunt Phoebe go back to normal"

"Normal is this. You'll have to get used to this. And this is for our own sake."

"I'll never get used to this. You know that and you also know that Aunt Phoebe would have never put a spell like this one on her sisters."

"Well her sisters weren't as stubborn as you are."

"You are a jerk...you know that right?"

"No. I'm not. I'm doing the best for us. You'll understand that one day."

"Lift the spell and I may try to"

"Promise to join me and I'll lift it"

"Are you serious?" Chris looked surprised.

"Of course. If you promise to join me willingly I'll lift it"

"I can't do that."

"Well, then I can't lift it. "

Chris hesitated before going on. "But you know, I could have lied and said I would even if I wouldn't"

"As you said before, I know you better than that. And I know you wouldn't lie like that, and you didn't lie even when you were powerless, why would you lie now?

"Yep. You do know me" Chris looked down again, sad. He wished there was a way out. Besides, they were ending breakfast and he couldn't help fearing what Wyatt had planned for him after that.

"Now tell me what you did in the past that bothers you so much" Wyatt looked even concerned when he asked this question.

Chris felt angry. He had to avoid talking about stopping his own birth to happen. He had to think of something else. He tried to win time.

"I don't want to talk about that"

"But I want you to tell me so tell me."

"You are such a son of a bitch. And you are too full of yourself. But as you are making me talk, I'll tell you. Hope it makes you happy. I saw mom and dad back then and they were so worried and involved with you, I'm sure they weren't expecting another son. I always had the feeling I was a surprise but now I know it for sure. I was completely unplanned while mom talked all the time about how hard she had tried to get pregnant with you.."

Wyatt seemed actually sorry. "See Chris, going to the past is dangerous. But listen, you don't have to get upset over that. May be mom and dad weren't expecting to have another kid then. But how many parents plan to be parents? Most kids don't have the chance to see their parents when they are young that's the only difference. The important thing is that mom and dad loved you and we both know they did"

Chris didn't know what to answer. Noticing that his brother was still upset, Wyatt went on.

"You never had doubts before. You really shouldn't have gone to the past. You were closer to mom than what I was...and dad...he loved you in his own way of course"

"You like to think I was closer to mom. She just didn't want you to brag about your powers. That didn't mean she didn't love you. And dad and me… well...I really don't want to think about it, if you allow me to drop the subject" Chris said ironically.

"Fine. I was just trying to help. I don't want to talk about mom and dad either. But I thought that mom had recognized you"

"She didn't. She just sensed something. You were the only one that seemed to recognize me. Your baby self even called me once telepathically after you did the spell. He just wanted me to hold him"

"Of course, brother. I would recognize you anywhere" Wyatt looked directly in his eyes.

"I know. So would I" Chris gave him a weak smile. "Who would have known such a cute baby would turn into such a big jerk?. And that summoning power is annoying. I would appreciate if you warn me before using it. "

"I may warn you if you want and I see I can trust you."

Chris looked surprised and happy. That was a huge step for his brother. He tried not to think that Wyatt's good mood would be ruined when he learnt what he had done the night before. He was surprised to read that Wyatt was thinking almost the same about Chris's good mood. But that he would change it after breakfast.

"Well "Wyatt stood up. "Breakfast is over. Now to the important issues"

Chris felt fear grew inside him. But he answered quietly.

"Why do I have the feeling that I'm going to hate those words?"

"May be you will. But remember, this is for your own sake, Chris."

Chris shook his head in disbelief.

"Just come with me, brother. And I'm sorry but some things have to be done"

Without even thinking Chris stood up and he followed Wyatt through a corridor filled with demons. None of them moved when they passed through. Wyatt led him into an office. Three demons were guarding it and they looked with interest but with their heads respectfully low when they entered. Wyatt closed the door. There was a large table. Wyatt pointed at a chair next to it.

"Sit, Chris"

Chris obeyed trying not to show fear and anger at the fact he was unable to fight that.

"Why didn't we orb in? Why walk? I thought you use your powers for everything now."

"I wanted my people to see you with me."

"Why?"

"I'll tell you later. Now there are more important things."

Wyatt gave him a map of the city and a pen.

"What the hell is this for? It's a good map" he tried to tease. Of course he knew what Wyatt wanted and he tried to avoid feeling relief because it was useless thanks to last night's escape. Wyatt was reading him carefully and if he noticed that, everything would be lost. He had to give his friends as much time as he could. Besides he couldn't believe Wyatt would really make him betray his friends. Luckily Wyatt was focused on his next word and not in Chris' thoughts.

"I want you to mark every place where your friends hide or used to hide. All the places. I'm especially interested in your ex-girlfriend. Mark the last place where you've seen her. After that, I also want you to lift any spells that are protecting the places. The ones you made and the ones you didn´t make but you can lift with your magic. Now" He added firmly noticing Chris hesitation.

Chris threw a chair toward his brother telepathically but he started looking at the map immediately. Wyatt just laughed stopping the chair with his own power. Chris tried to hold his anger for a better chance.

"When I was little you would have beaten me up if I had betrayed my friends like that. You taught me to be loyal; you above all people should understand why I don't want to do this. "

Wyatt smiled at Chris' rambling about the past again.

"Family is first and this is for a good cause. "

"I thought good and evil didn't exist" Chris smiled weakly while he marked because he just couldn't help doing that.

"Good doesn't exist as a general concept but my own good exists. And yours"

Chris shook his head again and decided to change the subject.

"How did you know there were spells protecting some places and that I've made them?"

"Just a guess. Besides, I can sense the power of three."

Chris smiled reading Wyatt's real thoughts.

"You couldn't lift them" he said smiling happily.

Wyatt looked annoyed.

"Well, no I couldn't but it was just a matter of time:"

"Then lift them by yourself, you powerful source"

"Taunting me won't help you. And well it would take me a long time to beat your magic. Happy? Now mark those places, lift the spells and don't leave the room. I'll be back soon and we'll continue this"

Chris felt fear again. He could read Wyatt was thinking that he would hate what was about to come even more.

"What do you mean with continue? Why are you interested in Brittany? "

Wyatt smirked. Chris tried to read him but he couldn't. Wyatt was blocking him out.

Wyatt opened the door telepathically.. " Don't try to read me and keep the door opened. I'll tell you what this is about later, brother. Wait for me here." with those words he flamed out.

Chris shook his head with disgust. He hated to see his brother's demonic powers. He continued marking the map, at least he could think quietly now that Wyatt wasn't there. He was happy Wyatt would find no one in any of those places. Still he was angry he couldn't stop marking. And he was worried about Brittany. What would Wyatt want with her? He could see the demons looking at him. Wyatt wasn't taking any risks. Now he couldn't astral project. He wanted to blow the demons up even if it was just for fun but he'd have to deal with Wyatt if he did that. And once Wyatt knew about his talk with Ashcroft and Brittany he would be pissed enough. He hated to fear his brother so much but a pissed Wyatt was a good reason to feel fear. Especially with the amount of power his brother had over him after the spell.
He continued marking the map, thinking there would have to be a way out but unable to find one.

Later, when Chris had finished marking and was still lifting the spells, Wyatt flamed in and closed the door telepathically.

"Time to continue, Chris. This is going to be really great."

Chris felt like he could kill his brother just to erase the smile from his face but he just swallowed and looked at Wyatt unable to hide his fear.

"I don't think I really want to know what the hell you mean"

Wyatt smirked making Chris close his eyes and just wishing he could disappear.
