Four Days Later – Chris and Bianca's Home – Night

Bianca stood in the kitchen sharpening her knifes and daggers. Wyatt had given her plenty of assignments for the night and wanted to be prepared.

Bianca: Ow!

Bianca dropped a knife as she accidentally cut herself across the palm. She growled deeply. She had been like this all day. She couldn't do anything right.

Bianca: What the hell is wrong with me?

She picked up a washcloth and wrapped it around her bleeding hand to soak up the blood. Bianca leaned against the kitchen table and looked out the window. The sky just didn't look the same anymore. Yesterday morning, no matter what, the world seemed perfect to Bianca. Now, she couldn't spend more than two seconds staring at the hideous world outside of the window. Bianca groaned as she once again thought of Chris.

Bianca: He's out of your life now. Let it go, Bianca.

She tried to talk herself out of caring for him. But, Chris had gotten to her. Bianca sighed as she picked up the knife she had dropped. Spinning it in her hand, Bianca walked out of the kitchen to get her coat.

Bianca: I'm going to hate myself for doing this in the morning.

After putting her coat on Bianca hid her knife in her boot and shimmered out.

Wyatt's Dungeons- Night

Bianca shimmered in and immediately looked around. She tensed as two demons came up behind her. Bianca tightened her grip on the knives she had in her coat pockets.

Demon 1: Who are you?

Bianca: I'm here to see Lord Wyatt.

Demon 2: He asked you a question. Who are you?

Bianca rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath. She was getting tired of these demons. They were low-level scum who shoulder be licking her boot clean.

Demon 2: Answer the question.

He grabbed Bianca's arm and tugged on it tight to get her to talk. That didn't go to well with Bianca. She pulled out knife from her pocket and shoved it into his chest, causing him to go up in flames. The other demon formed a fireball and threw it at Bianca. Seeing the fireball, Bianca did a back flip and avoided it. Bianca moved so quickly that the demon didn't even have time to scream as Bianca twisted his neck and cut off his head. Bianca looked down at the ashes under her feet as she put her knife away and started walking down the dark corridor. She checked each of the cells she went past. But, there was no sign of Chris. He had to be down here. Bianca went from walking to running. She had to find Chris fast. There was no telling what Wyatt could have done to him. Bianca knew Chris well enough to know he would never join Wyatt.

Bianca: Come on. Where are you?

Bianca skid to a stop in front of one cells when she instantly recognized Chris in the back of the cell. She gasped when she saw what shape he was in. He was sitting in a dark corner with more cuts and bruises on his body than Bianca could count. He looked so wounded that all the hatred Bianca had had against him for lying to her was gone immediately.

Bianca: Chris? Chris, can you hear me?

Seeing as he didn't budge, Bianca guessed he was unconscious. She couldn't see his face, so she wasn't sure. Bianca shimmered out and tried to shimmer into the cell. But, a force field sent her flying back and into the door of the cell across from Chris. Bianca winced as she rubbed her arm that she had hit. How was she supposed to get to Chris now? Bianca wondered if she could bring down the force field with her power of taking other people's powers. This force field had to be Wyatt's. Taking a deep breath, Bianca put her fist on the force field and got a jolt of pain as she started to absorb it. She winced as it started to sting her hand and make it feel like needles were stabbing her skin. The field felt like it was burning her flesh clean off. Bianca gritted it out as the force field started to crackle and turn blue. The force field finally came down and Bianca panted as she looked down at her hand. It was burnt a bit. She could handle that later. Chris needed her now. Bianca looked at the lock on the door. It would be easy to break. She took out one of her daggers and brought it down on the lock, breaking it and dropping it to the ground. Bianca quickly opened the cell door and ran over to Chris. She dropped down on her knees and took his face in her hands.

Bianca: Chris, wake up.

Chris groaned slightly as Bianca shook him. Bianca brushed away some of the blood on his face and tried to wake him again.

Bianca: Chris, I know you can here me. I'm sorry about what I said. I do love you. Just please, wake up. We have to get out of here and away from Wyatt.

Chris seemed to react to Wyatt's name.

Bianca: If you don't wake up, Wyatt will find me here with you and he'll punish me for it. Please, don't let him catch us. I have to get you out of here before he hurts you again. You have to wake up. Please.

Chris groaned again as his eyes peeled opened and looked at Bianca. He squinted then, as if he wasn't sure if she was there or not.

Chris: Bianca, is that really you?

Tears started to fill Bianca's eyes as she nodded. She didn't know what came over her. But, she pulled Chris into a tight hug, ignoring his moans in protest

Chris: Ow! Easy.

Bianca laughed, running a hand over Chris's hair and his back. She wanted to feel him. She had missed him so much and she just want to hold him in her arms forever. She knew that had to get out of there though.

Bianca: We have to go.

Bianca put Chris's arm over her shoulders and helped him to his feet. When Chris winced, Bianca became madder at the fact that she couldn't shimmer while in the cell to make Chris's suffering easier. She helped Chris out of the cell, trying to be quick when she saw three demons coming their way.

Demon 3: Hey, you two!

Bianca sighed in annoyance as she and Chris stopped.

Bianca: We don't have time for this.

Bianca left Chris to lean against a wall as she pulled two daggers from her boots and hurled them at the first two demons. As those demons bursts into flames, Bianca slammed the last demon into a wall and pinned him to it with her hand around his neck.

Bianca: Does anyone else know I'm here?

The demon shook his head frantically as he tried to breathe. Bianca knew she couldn't risk having Wyatt know that it was her that had broken Chris out. So, she slipped a knife from her coat and stabbed the demon in the chest with it. His screams echoed in the halls of the dungeons as he turned to ashes. When Bianca turned back to Chris, she saw the disturbed look in his eyes. She would talk with him about the killing she did later. Right now, they had to get going.

Bianca: Let's go.

Bianca took Chris hand and shimmered out, not thinking it was safe for him to orb. At least they were out.

Chris and Bianca's Home- Morning

Bianca stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at her reflection. She was once again confused on how she should feel. She was so happy to have her Chris back. Her Chris. She liked the way that sounded. But, at the same time she didn't feel right. What if someone found out about her and Chris? She was a Phoenix assassin and Chris was not only a good witch, but a whitelighter. Still, she loved him and couldn't bare to let him go. She didn't know what to do. Now she knew why her mother always said love was complicated. Bianca frowned at the thought of her mother. She didn't want to be like her mother. She still felt love for her mother. But, she had no problem with admitting the woman was a bitch and always pressed her suffering on everybody around her. Her mother had been a cold and lonely woman. Bianca wanted to be nothing like that. The idea of being even an ounce like that scared Bianca. She wasn't like her mother, was she?

Chris: Bianca?

Bianca spun around to find Chris standing in the bathroom door looking at her. She saw the question in his eyes at why she looked so sad. She sighed, knowing he would ask her what was bothering her.

Chris: Are you okay?

Bianca: I'm fine. Why?

Chris gave her a look of sadness, almost of pity, as he walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Bianca felt nervous being in a room alone with Chris while she was like this. She hated for him to see her vulnerable like she was at the moment.

Chris: You don't look fine.

Bianca smirked and ran a hand over a bruise on Chris's arm.

Bianca: I could say the same about you.

With a sigh, Bianca lifted herself onto the sink, feeling the need to sit down. Her whole life was changing and she was feeling the heaviness of it all at once.

Chris: What's wrong?

Chris walked closer to her, placing a hand on each of her arms. He could see it on her face and in her eyes that something was seriously bothering her.

Bianca: A lot of things.

Chris: Tell me.

Bianca could feel the heaviness on her growing as she stared into Chris's eyes. She didn't understand how he could do this to her. She had always been able to push her emotions aside. But, Chris had the ability to make her unable to hide how she felt. Right now, she just felt like breaking down and crying.

Bianca: What are we going to do? What if someone finds out about us?

Chris: Bianca, we've gotten this far. We can keep it up.

Bianca: For how long? Someone is going to find out sooner or later.

Chris: Let them. I don't care. I love you.

That did it. Bianca could feel tears filling her eyes and her eyesight began to get blurry.

Bianca: I love you too, Chris. I don't say that to very many people because I don't care about most people. But, you're different. The first time you hugged me, I felt like you really cared about me. I haven't felt like that since I was a kid. I love that feeling.

Chris: That's a good thing. You know that, right?

Bianca nodded slowly as she wiped away the water in her eyes before her tears could fall.

Bianca: That's just it. I'm afraid that someone will find out about us. But, I also don't want to loose the good feeling you give me.

Bianca couldn't stop the tears sliding down her cheeks. But, Chris did. He raised a hand to her face and wiped away the tears staining her soft skin.

Bianca: I don't want to be alone again.

Chris wrapped his arms around Bianca as more tears flowed from her eyes and her shoulders shook.

Chris: I'm not going anywhere. And no one is splitting us up.

Bianca smiled as she looked up into his eyes.

Bianca: You mean that?

Chris: I've haven't meant anything more in my life. Hey, look at me.

Chris placed a hand on Bianca's cheek, staring into her wet, but gorgeous, eyes.

Chris: We're okay.

Chris slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips gently against Bianca's. Bianca closed her eyes as she took in the feeling of his soft lips against hers. She raised her hands to touch his face and run her fingers through his hair. She didn't know what it was. But, there was something about Chris that made her unable to stay away from him no matter how dangerous it was for the both of them.

Bianca: Chris.

Chris held her close as he smiled and answered.

Chris: Yes?

Bianca: You're crazy for staying with me. You know that?

Chris laughed and nodded before planting a kiss on Bianca's forehead.

Chris: Or maybe I'm just crazy in love.

Bianca laughed as Chris picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom.

Chris: Want to go for that baby again?

Bianca: I don't think so, mister.

Chris: (laughing) Just a thought.
