Talking with Henry
A/N I do not own any of this (Sorry this wasn't put up before) but I enjoy it
Please R&R so I can be sure this story is still stimulating
Wyatt kept to himself for several days, mulling over what he had overheard between Chris and Aunt Phoebe. He had been evil, and killed Chris's best friend Yvanne. He had never thought of himself as ever turning evil, he was half white lighter-part angel, How could he turn evil. As he thought about it he wondered if this meant he could turn evil in this Future too. Could he become the Source of all Magic? Could be end up being cruel and unloving? Could he really be responsible for the deaths of people he loved? The thoughts scared him and he knew he needed to talk to something. He didn't want to talk to his parents though, they would insist that he is good and he really wanted an impartial opinion. He couldn't ask his Aunts because they would say the same thing, as would his grandfather and Uncle Coop. Then he thought of his Uncle Henry. Henry was a mortal but he knew about Magic, and he had always been rather straightforward and honest with Wyatt for as long as he could remember. Wyatt smiled to himself; Yes, Henry would be honest with him. Henry would tell him if he thought Wyatt could become evil.
Having made his decision Wyatt glanced at his watch and then headed out. He stopped to grab a burger first and arrived at Henry's office just as he was starting to get ready to leave. He smiled when he saw Wyatt though, "Hey Wyatt, everything ok," he asked
"I was wondering if we could talk for a minute…I didn't know who else to come to," he said honestly
Henry waved his hand towards a chair in front of his desk, "Sure, what's up? Girl trouble?" he asked curiously
Wyatt shook his head, "No…I uh, I was eavesdropping the other day on Chris and Aunt Phoebe and they said some things that made me nervous," he said, not wanting to admit he was afraid, "Did Aunt Paige tell you that Chris came back in time before he was born?" he asked, curious if he knew about it
With a serious look Henry nodded, "Yeah…she mentioned it once right after we were married," he murmured softly
"I heard….I heard Aunt Phoebe say I was evil in that future, she said I killed Chris's friend Yvanne, Does…I mean does this mean I am destined to be evil? I mean what is Chris just put off what was inevitable?" he asked, seriously concerned
"Wyatt, just because you were evil in a different time doesn't mean you would be evil in this time. From what Paige told me you were traumatized severely, and that caused that different future. It didn't happen this time, Your parents and aunts stopped it from happening so that means that you're not 'meant' to be evil," he told him seriously
"But how do you know? I mean…How does anyone know?" Wyatt asked, trying to find answers
Henry chuckled, "Wyatt, we all have darkness in us. You, Me, Your Aunts, even your parents, Having that darkness doesn't define who we are, it means we have to make a choice. It means that every day we wake up that we have to decide what we will be. Will we be a good person or a monster? You're old enough now that you make that decision everyday, consciously or not. Yeah, you were evil in an alternate future, but obviously Chris still loved you even then to try to change it. And Not just for you, but for everyone. Because of that you were never traumatized to the point that you went insane. You're normal Wyatt, You're just a normal 17 year old kid that has to make serious decisions now, especially now that you know what you could have been compared to who you are now," he said
"So…You don't think I'll end up being evil?" Wyatt asked with a wry smile, feeling better
"No I don't, you might have that darkness that we all have but No, I don't think you would ever be that way," Henry told him honestly, "Is that all that was bugging you," he asked
"Yeah…Well, there is another thing but I don't think you would know why," Wyatt said honestly
"What is it?"
"Well…I don't understand why I killed Yvanne…I mean it seemed like there was a reason but I didn't stick around to listen if Phoebe if she said it," he said sighing
"If there is a reason I don't know it Wyatt, but someone might, If its that important to you then do what you can to find out why," he said
Wyatt nodded as he thought about it, "You're right…And I know just who to talk to," he said before orbing out of the office. Henry frowned a little then shook his head, he knew Wyatt could handle himself
