Charmed: The Brothers Path

Chapter 1. Wyatt

I wake up on my bed. Another day learning how to be charmed, learning all the rules mom once had to learn, for good. Another day of brewing potions, reading about several demons in the book of shadows-half of them vanquished by my mother and aunts- and even learning how to be a white lighter, training with dad and my brother Chris. Sometimes I think I'm not a normal teenager, instead of vacations I prefer school because it reduces the charmed training, bad luck it doesn't reduce the demonic activity. It is been low anyway, it's been 15 years since the battle with Christy and it's been really peaceful, we have vanquished just two demons this year.

I stand up and take off the white old shirt I use to sleep and put on a red one. I look at the mirror I have next to my bed and realize I have dark wholes under my eyes, anyone would think I haven't slept in days, thanks to all the information I had to learn for today's test with aunt Paige. I take the sheets of paper that are in my desk that is under my mirror and look at the information once more, just to make sure I know everything, or at least almost everything. Somebody opens the door, it's Chris.

"You finally woke up, ready for the exam? Cause I am" he says.

"I'll meet you in the attic" I answer him with an angry sight. Chris has always been the smartest one and he has never had to stay up late because he seems to know all the information even before my mother.

"I can distract aunt Paige for a while so you have more time to study" Chris replies.

"No need of that. I'll be there in a minute." I hate when he thinks I can't learn all the information. He leaves and I hear him going upstairs. I put on my pants and get out of my room.

I take my way upstairs but somebody orbs in my face, dad.

"Hey Wyatt, before you take your exam I have to tell you something..." He starts " We've had a lot of peace for a long while, and that's a really good thing, but a lot of peace could mean demons are up to something. I just want you to be alert"

"Dad..." I had to ask the following "How did you orb here?"

"Don't tell your mother.." He seems suspicious "The elders orbed me here"

I can't believe dad was having communication with them after everything mom told me about them. The stories of the Halliwells and the elders are not exactly about being friends. "What were you doing with them?" I ask in a deffensive mood.

"They had to warn me, that's all." He says but for some reason I don't believe him. "Now go take your exam" he told me as he takes his way downstairs and I take mine upstairs.

I open the attic door and see aunt Paige in front of Chris. She has her red hair again and it makes me proud to have an aunt like her but it makes me sad that she used to live here and now she lives with uncle Henry, in an appartment. I close the door once I'm in.

"It's about time" She says. "Let's start".

"Sure, ask me whatever you want" Chris replies "I'll know it all".

"Here it goes, first question for Wyatt" aunt Paige starts and Chris puts a confused smile, she used to ask Chris first everytime we had an exam.... almost everyday. "Which is the creature that inspire us everyday?" She looks at me waiting for the answer. I know I read about them last night but I can't remember the name. Was it The Source? I don't think so, the name doesn't make me think about something that could inspire me. The Seer? Is the Seer a creature? I read she helped my mother and her sisters some time ago."We can't see them but we could with a spell" aunt Paige continues.The Seer is always visible for us, unless she is already vanquished but I can't remember. I look at Chris and his face demonstrates that he already knows the answer "a demon tried to lock them all in a ring some years ago". I give up, they have vanquished a lot of demons, helped a lot of creatures that the hint gives me no help.

"I don't know" I finally reply.

"Nymphs" Chris says.

"Yes Chris, correct answer" Aunt Paige answers with a sad face, looking at me.

"I failed since I got here, aunt Paige" I start "I'll just go to my room and try to learn something."

Aunt Paige looks at me with a disappointed face. I walk right to the door, but before I can even touch it somebody opens it abruptaly, hitting and throwing me in the air. I end up in the floor and look at the door, there's a man standing there, with a black coat.

"Your dad is right, Wyatt. We're not gone. Actually, we aren't going to be in a really long time" he says as he takes my hand.

"¡Athame!" Aunt Paige screams while pointing to the man. An old athame, which they got from a vanquished demon, that was in the desk orbed right to his chest.The man hits the floor. He seems to be dead.

"Are you ok?" I ask Chris and aunt Paige.

"Wyatt stay back, something's wrong" Chris demands "If he is a demon, they don't just die, they explode". Chris was right, from the few demons we have seen my mon vanquishing any of them left remains. I stand up and walk away from the man.

After second of mystery, the man opens his eyes and takes the athame off his body.

"This is just starting" the man says as he fades out.

"Follow me. I was hopping we didn't have to make this reunion but it is needed. I'll call your mom and aunt Phoebe once we're down." Aunt Paige says as she goes out off the Attic. "We have things to explain".
