A/N: Hi! It's me the girl that never updates. I'm really sorry, I really wanted to update sooner but I couldn't write a single word in weeks. November is always crazy but hopefully December would be quieter. I want to thank Teal-Lover for her help, you are great! But really, really great!
Thanks for you wonderful reviews. I know this is slow, please bear with me. I promise another chapter before Tuesday. And in the other two you'll have some revelations about the family and who Christa is. Also, in this one there is a hint of why that prophecy was important and I hope that would be clear in the next chapter that's why I want to upload it soon. It makes complete sense together with this one but they were two long to put them in the same update.
That said, let's go to the chapter! Thanks for reading and please bear with me, I just want everyone to know a little more about what might have happened/really happened to Wyatt before the reunion.

Chapter 17: Incomplete memories
When Chris reformed next to the table Wyatt was already there looking at him with anger. He couldn't even finish reforming when Wyatt made him fly to the roof.
"I thought that would tell you not to play more tricks and you think you can punch me? That was really silly, Christopher"
From the floor, after falling a second time, Chris had to agree with Wyatt. That had been silly, he needed to calm down, and getting angry wouldn't help at all.
"I'm sooo sorry, my lord." Chris stood up and he remarked the "my lord" part imitating Tom.
"Naaa, you can't do it as well as he did. I know what you are thinking and that takes all the respect away" Wyatt laughed.
"How can you not care about people's pain?" Chris asked furiously, not believing his brother could tease after something like that. "About my pain? How could you do that to me? Why? Only because I tried to save people from suffering your torturing methods?"
"No, because you keep defying me and because you let our closest chance to get Brittany go"
"Why is she so important?"
Chris regretted asking that because Wyatt got immediately angry again. He took him by his shoulders almost shaking him.
"You have to know what you've done. You let the chance of taking revenge on our mom's death just go away. You care so much of this people's pain? You want pain? I'll show you pain! You don't seem to remember what we've been through, what this people made us suffered"
Chris studied his brother unable to react and before he could do anything Wyatt locked eyes with him while he put his hands on his shoulders. Chris found impossible to look away. Wyatt pressed his shoulders while he intensified his gaze and Chris could sense his mental bond with his brother become stronger. After a silent mental command, Chris felt his mind invaded by images of his mother's death once again.
"No, Wyatt, please" Chris was unable to stop the images from coming to him and tears came to his eyes as he saw his mom's horrible death play again in his head.
Wyatt's pressure became stronger. "I'm sorry but you seem to have forgotten about this, thanks to you that demon is still walking around...I know where he is and I know how to kill him all I need is Brittany to do that and you've made it harder, twice. Why don't you take a look at this too?" Wyatt frowned because his connection with Chris was too strong and his own grief was getting in the way. But he had to keep going. Taking advantage of the distraction Chris threw Wyatt to the opposite wall with telekinesis, temporary breaking the strong mental connection. He wanted to try to reason with his brother but Wyatt choked him before he could even try to talk. Chris fell to the floor and Wyatt choked him with more strength. He only stopped his choking power when he was next to Chris and his brother's face was almost blue.
"Do I have to do everything the hard way with you, Chris?" Still choking him, he shook him. "Why can't you see that I'm doing my best to keep you alive? I don't want to kill you. I'm taking a big risk here and you keep making me angry. Why?" Wyatt's tone was almost pleading and his eyes were shiny. Chris couldn't find a good enough answer.
Wyatt calmed down a little when Chris didn't answer and didn't resist either. He sighed and he roughly pulled his little brother to his feet. "Stay still, don't try anything until I finish and don't break the connection again" Wyatt said angrily. Chris obeyed but still thinking on how to escape. His pain for those memories was bad enough; he didn't need to relive them again. But of course, Wyatt could read that.
"Don't play tricks. I'll make it harder if you do, if you want this to stop soon and you don't want it to be harder, just obey. You don't have another choice. Now, look at me. You know about this but you haven't seen it. Let me show you how it felt"
"No, please" Chris said even while he was already looking at his brother's eyes, Wyatt didn't listen and new images assaulted Chris' mind.
"Aunt Phoebe" Ten year old Wyatt orbed into his aunt's Phoebe's bedroom in the new house his aunt and her husband had bought. Wyatt missed his favorite aunt but he knew she couldn't go so often to his house now that she was pregnant, she was eight months pregnant and she was BIG. Wyatt hadn't seen anyone so BIG in his whole life. The kid laughed thinking that his aunt was so big, but he was having a really hard time trying to find her. It was weird she wasn't in the bedroom, he orbed to other parts of the house still calling for her. .He couldn't understand why she wasn't answering
"Aunt Phoebe, you promised me to play with me and to..."Wyatt stopped at the sight he finally found in the living room. On the couch he saw his uncle, a powerful witch; he was dead, with no traces of what had killed him.His aunt was lying on the floor, energy balls had been thrown at the stomach several times.
"Nooo" The kid shouted running towards the dead body
Before Chris could say something, Wyatt quickly changed the memory.

Leo looked at the whitelighter angrily.
"You better start telling the truth or my wife will blow you up and your daughter will have a good reason to need adoptive parents, better parents. There is no way that such a prophecy would exist and I wouldn't know about it."
"Well I don't know what you Elders think most of the time so I can't answer that question. But one thing is certain, you haven't been an Elder for long and no white lighter was aware of this prophecy, the Elders had always been afraid of it. But it's really strange they didn't tell you when you became an elder. "
"And if that's the case how do you know about it?" Paige asked suspiciously
"I didn't hear about the prophecy but I think I've heard about you, your face looks familiar." Leo interrupted her sister in law looking at the white lighter suspiciously.
"Yes, my name is Reny" the man said tiredly. Leo nodded, now he placed him. "And I know about the prophecy because Lanzara told me."
"Oh. Lanzara, yes, she was one of the most powerful demons. She was vanquished not long ago. Weird thing, we didn't do it" Leo answered thoughtfully.
"You didn't do it, because the Elders kept it a secret. They sent me to track her; they didn't want anyone to know about it. They were scared to acknowledge they believed and feared the prophecy. But they had never been able to vanquish her until...until." he looked thoughtfully at the child in his lap.
"Oh...so you fell in love with her and Lisa is your child?" Phoebe couldn't help smiling slightly.
"Yes, she was about to leave everything for me, to take care of Lisa, she wasn't evil any more, she didn't want Lisa to become the source or anything and the Elders still vanquished her. Our relationship weakened her, she was softer and the bastards took advantage of that."
Leo looked doubtful.
"It's the truth" Reny repeated defensively.
"Come on, Lanzara was one of the most feared female demons in the underworld,. One of the most powerful too. "
"Oh, yes you are right, she was feared and powerful just as Balthazar was," Reny answered with a hint of irony glancing at Phoebe purposely.
"Hey, you have to give the man a chance, demons can change," Phoebe turned a little red.
"Or they can change and come and back and turn evil and change and come back and," Paige was almost singing.
"Shut up" Phoebe interrupted her little sister.
"Just a thought" Paige said looking now at Lisa who was smiling at her from her father's lap.
"Ok, mister. You have two minutes and if we can believe you, we might help you. We all like Lisa and we don't think she's evil. So why do you think the elders want to kill her? And most importantly what do you know about that source that will kill the elders? What do the Elders know about that source? " Piper tried to sound calm but she looked at Leo nervously while she made the last question. Could Wyatt be in danger? Why didn't the prophecy say anything about that? Was Chris lying? Or was something really wrong there?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wyatt was still holding Chris and even if Chris wanted to struggle his brother's previous order was stopping him. Even if remembering his mom's death and the last memory about his aunt Phoebe had left him in tears, he wasn't prepared for the next memory at all. He knew it would be bad because he could feel how hard it was for Wyatt to show it, the effort of showing the memory was making Wyatt hard to block Chris out. Still, Chris wasn't prepared for the shock of what he saw.
Twenty-one year old Wyatt orbed up, his father had been calling him. But his voice has sounded weird, so Wyatt was being cautious about it. He just expected that he wouldn't want him to train. He was too old to keep taking the elder's crap for longer.
"Dad!" he said surprised, his father wad tied up and looked beaten up and weak. Still, he lifted his gaze when he felt Wyatt's.
"Leave Wyatt" he tried to shout but only a small sound came out of his mouth, "Watch out, it's a tr"
Before he could say anything lighting hit Wyatt and it threw him towards a wall before he could put his shield up. Surprised, he looked at the persons attacking him and he recognized Zola, an elder that he thought it was his dad's friend. And Simon, and elder he hadn't seen much. At first, he was too shocked to react then he quickly put his shield up. .The lighting struck the shield continuously, but he focused on freeing his dad. He finally managed to free Leo, who then managed to hit Zola. Surprised, Zola turned against Leo while Simon kept attacking Wyatt but checking how Zola was going. That gave Wyatt a small chance He called for Excalibur and the sword came quickly to him. He tried to help his dad. He used all the powers he knew but after some minutes it was clear he was losing. The two elders attention was divided between him and his dad and they were wining.
"A spell" Leo mumbled weekly" You'll need a spell, you are not powerful enough"
Wyatt looked at his dad and then he thoughtfully said a spell to block the elder's magic. It didn't work, he couldn't take all the magic away but he decreased it. The elders looked shocked; if a regular witch had said that spell nothing would have happened. Wyatt had been too fast and now they couldn't bind his powers or stop him magically. They had underestimated him and they were going to pay for it. Wyatt knew he had to be fast, the first thing was to weaken them. When they were weaker, Wyatt and Leo would be able to take them. Wyatt blew them up several times, hurting them with Excalibur and choking them. When he was satisfied he finally killed them with the sword, taking off their heads. Leo helped him weaken them and made them fight fair until Wyatt was able to kill them.
Once they were dead, Wyatt felt a lot of power rushing into him. It felt good and for a moment,he just stood there, enjoying the new feeling, unable to do or see anything else. When he finally looked around, he realized with horror that everything had been too much for his father. Leo was already too weak and he fell. Wyatt ran to him, taking him lovingly in his arms.
"You'll be all right, dad. I'll take you home, Chris will make a potion"
"There is no potion that can help me. "
"Don't say that"
"It's true. I can sense it. Listen, Wyatt, the book exists. Find it and kill the bastard that killed Piper." Leo was so weak that Wyatt had to kneel down to hear him.
"And Wyatt..."
Chris had been unable to stop the memories at first and then he just didn't want it to stop. Even if it was hard for him to see it, as he was seeing it through his brother's eyes feeling his pain and all, he wanted to know. If he hadn't gone to the past he would have been sure that that had turned Wyatt. But if that was the answer, why didn't the spell take him to that moment? He suddenly realized that Wyatt had broken his mental connection with him and he wasn't staring at him any more, even if he was still holding him.
"Why did you stop?" he asked angrily, his eyes still wet by the tears in his eyes.
"First you don't want to see it, now you don't want to stop."
"Why did you stop? What else happened you don't want me to see?" Chris insisted angrily..
"You know what happened. I took him home and he faded away there. There was no way of saving him. The bastards killed him."
"But what was the last thing he said?"
"That the book exists"
"No, he said something else, why did you stop the memory?"
"Cause is not important and you don't need to see anything else." Wyatt pulled away but Chris caught him and stared at him, trying to bring the connection back.
"Stop, it Chris. I'm using the spell to show you things and you'll see only what I want you to see"
"So, you are lying" Chris looked down now.
"If that's what you want to believe...I've always told you that those two elders had killed dad but you never believed me, you listened to anyone else but me"
"I wasn't sure if I could believe you or not. You didn't tell me that right away and then I just didn't know what to think but that didn't mean I didn't believe you, I just couldn't understand your reaction, but even if that was true that didn't mean all the elders..."
"The elders were bastards. All of them. How can you have doubts after what I showed you? That wasn't the first thing they did against us."
"What else did the do?"
"Nevermind" Wyatt looked thoughtful.
Chris realized that Wyatt was thinking of something. He couldn't read him but he could sense Wyatt wasn't blocking him out completely, yet. With the spell that took some time. He had to act quickly and without thinking. Before Wyatt could stop him, he suddenly took his brother's hand and stared at him, increasing his power to read Wyatt's mind. Wyatt had known Chris would try this with Leo´s memory but he wasn´t prepared for his brother doing that at that moment. They both knew Wyatt was thinking of something else now and the thought was so painful that he wasn´t paying much attention to Chris.If it wasn't for the spell Wyatt would have probably been able to block Chris out, but as they were too connected now, he couldn't stop Chris from reading the memory. .
Eve was lying in a bed in the underworld in a lot of pain. She was clearly pregnant.
"I´m sorry, Wyatt. I can´t take it any longer."
"Noo. Let me try again." Wyatt put his hand on her belly and they glow but nothing happened.
"I'm sorry, dear. I don't get much of this magic thing, but I can tell you that is not working" she said with a weak smile.
"But it should. I've healed you before. Those bastards are stopping me now. They are not letting me heal you. But they can't block all my powers, they are there, I just need to enhance them Hold on, I'll call Chris, he'll canalize my powers and I'll heal you"
"You said Chris wouldn't come here. I thought you two had fought"
"He doesn't like this place. He doesn't understand what I'm doing. And he doesn't know about the baby but he'll come if I tell him, I'm sure." Wyatt wasn't thinking very carefully. If the Elders didn't want Eve to heal canalizing the power wouldn't mean that much, and Chris didn't have healing powers of his own.
Eve's face was covered with tears and Wyatt could see blood on the sheets.
"I'm sorry, baby, it's too late."
Wyatt took her hand crying desperately.
"Just a little time Eve, after I kill them I´ll be able to heal you, I know it"
"I wish I had it, Wy"
"It´s my fault, I should have never let you go on with the pregnancy. You knew it was going to be risky"
"I´m glad you did. I wanted our child to be borne. I'm sorry I couldn't make it." with her last amount of energy she woke up in the bed and she kissed Wyatt softly on the lips.
"Thanks for being with me, Wyatt Halliwell. I love you" she said, tears covering her eyes, breathing painfully. Then she just closed her eyes.
"No, Eve, you can't leave me. Please, not you and my baby, please. He looked up, yelling."At least let me heal her once" He put his hand on her belly again, she moved and he felt his hope come back. Then she smiled at him and closed her eyes again, this time for ever,
Wyatt tried to heal her for a while still but he couldn't. When he realized she was dead he took her body in his arms, crying.
"I´m sorry I couldn't heal you, you or my little daughter...but don't worry those bastards will pay, I'll make them curse the moment they decided to mess with my family."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII TBC IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII TBC IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
A/N: No, Christa is not Wyatt's daughter, (in case it seemed that way), Wyatt's daughter is dead. She was never borne.
