Chapter 4 – Escape
Victor slowly opened his eyes and stared up at a strange ceiling that he didn´t recognize. He sat up and saw two woman one of the where hold his book.
"GIVE THAT BACK" Yelled Victor and jumped up. He was hit by some kind of field and it knocked him back. The zap dazed him and he felt tingly all over his body, he looked down and saw the crystals and flicked his hands and before it could hit the crystal the energy barrier and exploded that knocked Victor off his feet. He stared at the two women that was keeping him imprisoned, they had been scared of his out burst because the women had dropped his book on the floor.
"Oh my god! That scared the hebejibis out of me!" Said one of the women with brown short hair.
"Who are you? Why have you taking me prisoner!" Growled Victor.
"Did you see that. He has the same power as Piper!" Said the woman who had been holding the book.
"You tell us who you are first!" Said the woman with short brown hair.
"Victor" He looked around and didn´t see away out.
"This is Paige and I am Phoebe" Said the woman with the short hair. Phoebe and Paige Victor had heard those name before but right now he didn´t really care all he wanted was get out of this crystal cage. Phoebe and Paige looked at him. He remembered spinning around in some kind of vortex that had transported to where ever this was and the black smoke demon he had followed.
"Where is the demon!" He spate.
"You mean that black smoke thingy! Piper chased it of!" If they chased it of that would mean that they were powerful so he needed to be careful.
"Dammit" He had lost the demon and he had been so close. Victor flicked his hands and there were a small explosion against the energy barrier that had him trapped. Paige bent down and picked up Victors book of shadows.
"Don´t touch that!" Yelled Victor and flicked his hands and caused an explosion on the energy barrier.
"I´m just putting it on the table here. Okay!" Said Paige and placed the book nice and easy on the table. He needed to get out of this cage but the only way out seamed to be the two woman that had put him in it.
"What do you want with me!" Victor asked.
"We just want to know how you ended up in our house!" Said Phoebe.
"Why do you want to know that?"
"Well it´s not every day a portal opens up in you dining room and a demon drop in!" Said Phoebe. They were obviously some sort of magical creatures but what sort, witches, demons some other kind but one of them had touched the book so she was not evil but that didn´t mean he could trust them.
"I interrupted some kind of spell and then I got sucked in to that portal and the next thing I know I am imprisoned!" He told them.
"Oh! So you didn´t mean to come here!" Phoebe asked. Victor shook his head.
"No! Why would I wanna come here. I was after the black smoke demon but got sucked through the portal just like he did!" Said Victor.
"So you don´t know where you are!" It was more a statement then a question so Victor didn´t answer.
"Paige! Maybe we should let him out of the crystal cage to show a little trust" Said Phoebe.
"I don´t know if that´s a good idea Phoebe!"
"Why not! He is obviously a witch. He freaking has the same power as Piper and you could heal him so he isn´t evil" Said Phoebe
"Fine!" Said Paige and picked up a box that was sitting on the table and opened it.
"Crystals" She yelled and the crystals around the futon disappeared in blue and white orbs and reappeared in the box Paige was holding. Victor took his chance and ran for his book of shadows and pushed Paige out the way and manged to grab it but then the floor exploded. Victor was tossed back and lost his grip on the book witch skidded a cross the floor.
"What the hell is going on here" Yelled a woman from the door. He was out numbered three to one and they were powerful so he did the only thing he could, he faded away.
Victor stumbled as he appeared a few feet over the ground. He looked around and he was there were only trees and bushes around so he was safe for now.
"Dammit" He screamed and through his hands up and a young tree shattered nearby, he had just lost the one thing he cared about the most and he ran instead to fight for it. There was something off about this hole thing, it was on the tip of his tongue but he couldn´t kind figure out what it was. Victor shook his head, he needed to get the book back and fast before they did something to it. He picked up a branch and started to draw the symbol that was on the front of the book and on his chest, when he was finished he recited the spell to summon the book witch his mother had made him memorize in case anything happened to it but he had to make a small change to it so the book would come to were he was-
"I call upon the Ancient Power,
To help us in this darkest hour, Let the Book return to this place, To claim refuge in this space"
White orbs filled the symbol on the ground and then the book appeared. He smiled and picked up the book but their was something off about this. He looked at the book and it was greener and a lot lighter then I should be. He opened it up and started to flip through it and a ice cold feeling that to grip his heart.
"No no no!" This was not his book there were a lot of text missing but if this wasn´t the right book then that must mean that those woman had his book and he had theirs. Why would this book appear when he summoned the book of shadows, it didn´t make any sens. If he had this book then that would mean that his book was still with those woman.
There were something about those woman, something that felt familiar. He knew that he had heard those name before, Pheobe, Page and Piper. Then it dawned on him and Victor started to laugh, he had just figure it out were he had heard those name before and why he was standing with a book of shadows that looked very much like his but wasn´t his. Then the portal he had been sucked in to was a portal through time and space, he had read about the charmed one experiences with time travel and it was never easy so he needed to be careful and get back to those woman but how. He didn´t know where he was, he had just faded out of pure instinct and god knows were he had ended up. So now he needed to find his way back to the charmed ones he had just escaped from and since he had no clue to where he was Victor needed a guide. He flipped through the book to get a idea on what to do but this version of the book of shadows didn´t have any helpful tips on call a guide.
"Ow" He said and looked at his finger. He had cut it on one of the pages in the book a few droops fell to the ground before he stuck it in his mouth. But now he need a spell so he could find someone to take him back to the Charmed ones.
"I call upon a guide
to cross the great divide
to help me in this time and space
so I won´t get lost in the place!" Victor chanted, the symbol on the glowing red and black sparks discharged from the symbol and Victor backed away as the wind picked up. He held his hand to cover his eyes from the debris that was flying around. The red glowing symbol on the ground intensified and three black sparks discharged witch looked on to each other 8 feet above the symbol. The symbol on the ground started to move rapidly and became a black and red mass witch exploded and through Victor against a tree. The air pressed out of his lungs as he hit the tree, he gasped and air rushed back into his lungs. Victor was crouching on his hands and knees when he a pair of black shiny shoes.
"Are you okay?" A mans voice asked him. Victor looked up and saw a man, he had black short hair and blue piercing eyes. He was wearing a black suit with white shirt under his jacket that had a few buttons undone.
"Who are you?" Asked Victor with a strained voice.
"I am Cole!"
