The Realization
As it happened Wyatt didn't get a chance to give Yvanne that talking to he want because he didn't see her until it was time for Chris and Yvanne's high school graduation. But he had every intention of talking to her about it then. Even after breaking up with her cheating boyfriend she had decided to come to New York. She had told Chris that she felt like she was being called to New York-something she never could explain why. Wyatt didn't mind, it was obvious the girl was getting herself into dangerous situations without thinking of consequences and he wanted to keep a close eye on her.
After sensing to be sure no one was around Wyatt orbed into the manor kitchen, he went straight to the fridge and opened the door, took out a jar of orange juice and began drinking it. Not bother with. Just as he was swallowing he heard the back door clock and spun around to see Yvanne who's eyes were filled with laughter, "Don't you know how to use a glass," she asked, laughter in her voice as well
"How did you get in," Wyatt asked a little irritably as he tried to get his bearings. He was stunned by her. The alley had been dark and he hadn't noticed how much she had changed over the past two years. Well, she hadn't really changed but the way he saw her was definitely different. He didn't notice before just how creamy her skin was and how it set off the dark red in her hair. He didn't remember ever noticing how beautiful her violet/blue eyes were. And he sure as hell never remembered her body looking that….wow before.
"I have a key," she said interrupting his thoughts as she hopped up on the kitchen island, "If you remember Chris gave this to me when We were 13. Considering…what did you call me-Right, a Permanent Fixture," she added with a smirk
"Oh…well I forgot," he snorted defensively, as he tried to avert his eyes from staring at the rise and fall of her chest
Luckily his mother walked in at that moment. Piper smiled when she saw Yvanne, "Hi sweet-You're early," she said giving her a hug once Yvanne slid off the counter
"I know, You know me, Miss Eager," she said with a grin as she hugged her back, "So do you like my new dress," she asked, excitement clear on her face
"Its lovely…A little short though," Piper said, trying to be diplomatic but she was still a Mom
"I know but My legs are really my best feature, Might as well show them off," Yvanne said with a bright smile, "Besides, I saw Pictures of you when you were younger-You can't tell me you never wore any short dresses," she told her with a grin
"Ok Missy-Chris is up in his room with your cap and gown," Piper said, ignoring her comment. She had just noticed that Wyatt was staring at Yvanne's legs and trying to hide it. Yvanne flashed them a smiling before running up to get his stuff from Chris. Piper rounded on Wyatt, "What was that about," she asked sharply as she looked up into her oldest son's face
"What was what? What did I do," Wyatt asked his mother with big eyes
"You staring at Yvanne like you were a starving man and she was a feast," Piper replied, narrowing her eyes a bit
"I did not-Mum You're imagining things! Yvanne is Chris's best friend, I would never do something like that," Wyatt insisted, not about to admit to his mother that he had been fantasizing about Yvanne's legs as well as other things
Piper didn't look like she believed a word of it, "Well you better remember that when you're in New York," she insisted firmly, "Its bad enough that Chris is dating Bianca, I don't need you trying to seduce a girl that is practically family," she told him firmly. She had no idea that Yvanne was meant to be with Wyatt. Phoebe had never said anything and neither had Chris
"Ok Ok- I get it Mom…Stop stressing," he said rolling his eyes in frustration and grabbing an apple before heading out. Piper shook her head, not sure about that. She figured she could talk with Leo about it later.
An Hour later they were all sitting on cramped bleachers waiting for their two students to accept their diploma. As Wyatt zoned out a bit from the speeches he realized for the first time that he didn't feel on edge. Since he had gone to New York he had become increasingly reckless and didn't feel like himself. He also suddenly realized that after that night in the alley he had felt better for a few days, like he had when he was younger at home. He had just figured it was from being so far from his family but now…Now the words of the See came back to him as his eyes focused on Yvanne who was chatting softly with some girl sitting beside her.
"With how powerful you are You must have your soul mate with to-To stop from your power corrupting you. This is why she was always there as Your brothers friend-Her proximity to you give your soul the comfort it needs until the two of you become Bonded."
As the words came back to haunt him he heard Yvanne's name being called and heard his family cheering. He clapped too but was too busy thinking about this change. In the new years since he had moved he had become reckless and stopped worrying about others safety. He had started to feel superior to everyone including his family and had even had strange day dreams about taking power from everyone. It dawned on him now that it was because he was so far away from Yvanne. The seer had been right. He needed to be close to her regularly to keep himself from being corrupted by his power. Two days before he never would have even considered it.
Was this really possible-was he so close to losing himself that only Yvanne could keep him from that Precipice? Didn't the fact that he was raised in a loving home mean anything? Were his moral and Core values so easily tossed aside?
No, He was strong but he now realized he wasn't strong enough. Without Yvanne to…comfort his soul, as the seer said, he couldn't control his power. But what if Yvanne died? One of them would need to die first, even if they became very old. If she died before him would he become corrupted? And what about her? The Seer had said she would be Powerful. She was his match. Did that mean she was as powerful as him and if so did that mean she could be corrupted too? Wyatt was unsure about everything now. He began wondering if he should make another visit to the Seer.
He was about to orb away without thinking when he felt a tugging of his arm and glanced to his right, "Wyatt, its over, Picture time," Melinda said with a grin, she had noticed her big brother zoning out but she figured he just had a lot on his mind. Melinda had no idea just how much he had on his mind
"Right, thanks Mellie Girl," he said teasingly as Melinda made a face. That was her nickname from her brother when she was Little! She was 15 now! Most definitely not a baby anymore. She decided to ignore that for today though and headed down to where their parents were. Piper and Leo were already hugging Chris and Yvanne and trying to get pictures as they were all talking and laughing.
It was hours later before Wyatt was able to get away to see the Seer. When he arrived she smiled, "I knew you would come King Wyatt," she murmured softly
"I want to know more-Is this why I've been slipping? Because I've been away from her," he asked, not even bothering to say hello
"Yes…I told you three years ago that her nearness was vital to you…But you're corruption would take time obviously," she said
"Being near her today reversed what I was feeling-Is that possible?"
"Yes-For now King Wyatt," she told him, "There will come a point where that is no longer possible-Where she will not be able to save you."
"Like in the other world-The other future," Wyatt murmured, without thinking
The Seer smiled and nodded, "Yes, by then it was far too late for you. Though she did begin healing you. However…" she trailed off with that word
"I killed her," Wyatt finished softly. He closed his eyes and sighed, "Tell me…who will die first," he asked, his voice soft but his request clear
"The future is not laid in stone King Wyatt-Your decisions and hers will affect that outcome, even I could not tell you that," the Seer responded
"What if she dies before me then? Will I still become evil," he asked, a hardness showing in his voice
"That will depend."
"Depend on what?" he asked slowly
"If there is a child."
"Explain-Now!"
The Seer laughed a bit coldly, "Who are you to demand answers from me," she asked harshly
Wyatt came forward and grabbed her by the neck and squeezed, "I am the only one who can destroy you-As you so willingly stated 3 years ago. Tell me what I want to know or you will meet your demise now," He said, a harsh tone in his voice as he threw her away from him
She fell against her chaise coughing but also smiled, "See that? Three years ago you never would have done something like that. See what two years away from her will do," she asked with a delighted cackle
Wyatt felt the blood drain from his face at her words. What she right? Had he already been that corrupted? No-He refused to believe it. She was simply egging him on, "Tell me what a child has to do with it," he asked, an energy ball appearing in his hand, "I can find other sources Seer," he added
"But none with my accuracy King Wyatt," she said but looked unsure now, "Very well…If you and Queen Yvanne have a child together then you will not turn evil. Because your children with her will carry that same magical quality that makes her keep your soul intact
"So…The son you mentioned 3 years ago-He's still going to be born," he asked, truthfully he had put it from his mind. His mother had always thought a daughter would come first but instead he had come.
"You are meant to have a son King Wyatt, He will take your throne after your death. He will be incorruptible though because he will be born with that quality that keeps Queen Yvanne from letting you be corrupted," she said coldly
"And my son-will he have a soul mate," Wyatt asked without thinking. If he couldn't be corrupted then would he need a soul mate?
"Everyone has a soul mate King Wyatt," the See said in annoyance, wishing he would be done
Wyatt sighed, he still felt confused. But he had one thing definitely made clear to him-He needed Yvanne close to keep his mind on straight. Without another word to the seer he orbed back to the manor.
