Thirty-Seven – The Hard Part
Chris used a large piece of chalk to draw a triquetra on the wall in the attic. Behind him Wyatt stood at the podium looking at the Book of Shadows. The Book was opened to the entry on Vicus. “Mom.”
Piper and Paige were at the potion table working on something in a caldron. Leo and Phoebe were on the floor with little Wyatt and baby Chris.
Piper looked up from her potion. “What is it, Wyatt?”
“Do you mind if write in the Book?” Wyatt asked.
Chris looked up from what he was doing. What are you doing, Wy?
Wyatt didn’t bother looking at him as he waited for Piper’s answer. I just want to explain what happened and how Vicus was defeated.
Chris rolled his eyes. You made him visible and Aunt Paige threw a potion at him.
Wyatt smiled. I guess I mean how his curse was lifted.
Chris nodded. Check.
“Wyatt, are you listening?” both brothers suddenly realized their mother was asking.
“Sorry, Mom,” Wyatt gave her a sheepish look as he added, “Chris was talking to me.”
Piper raised an eyebrow at Chris who smiled, inclining his head. “Be that as it may, what are you wanting to write in the book?”
“I just wanted to explain what happened with Vicus today,” Wyatt informed her, “and explain how the curse was broken, in case there are more out their like Vicus or any victims who still are cursed.”
Piper smiled as she nodded. “I think that’s a good idea.”
“Do you have a pen?” Wyatt asked.
Make sure to use your best hand writing, Chris admonished.
Wyatt glared at him as Piper handed him a pen. Cute.
I mean it, Wyatt, Chris pressed. Show respect to that Book. The spells and other information within it have saved out family on more than one occasion.
I know, I know, Wyatt iterated, slightly annoyed. I never would have been able to save you back in January if not for a spell written within its pages. And the spell I wrote when Aunt Prue and all of them showed up from the other reality was based off something I found in the Book. Getting rid of Trae certainly came out of the Book. I know this Book is important. I’ll write legibly.
Chris shrugged and went back to the triquetra. Good.
Wyatt uncapped the pen and started writing in the Book, concentrating hard on not only what he wrote, but how he wrote it.
