Chapter Fourteen
Adam had talked about Susan once and Wyatt had answered that he didn't love her the same way that he used to. Adam being his best friend took it and as always the next question was that if he had his eyes on someone else but Wyatt didn't answer that one. The girls in the cheerleading squad were torn between Susan's friendship and their hope to be the next girl wrapped between Wyatt Halliwe'lls arms.
He didn't say anything about Susan to anyone else. His parents had tried talking to him about her but Wyatt had dismissed them saying that he was fine. Chris had tried several times to get the reason why he dumped her but he only ended up smirking at his attempts.
The next two months became very much the same. He spent a lot of time putting up appearances when it came to school until he graduated and at home, as when they were attacked he went after the demons that were after them in the first place. The adults in his family were very confused and no one knew what was happening.
The younger Halliwell's were not told as they spend their days with other things besides demon hunting. Wyatt acted as though he too was confused and worried of the new 'threat' as they called it.
"Can it really be a threat when it's killing demons that are after us?" Wyatt had tried reasoining with his mother one evening.
"For all we know the new threat is sacrificing them to gain power." Piper had reasoned as she had stopped dicing peppers. Leo sat just near enough helping her peeling potatoes while Wyatt leaned over the counter picking at the food with his fingers.
"Your mother is right." Leo said as he put one potato down and stared at his son as Piper slapped Wyatt's hand away from the food.
"But if the Elders haven't felt anything shouldn't that be a good sign?" Wyatt pressed.
"The Elders don't always know everything Wyatt." Leo laughed, "Trust me on this."
"I always trust you dad." Wyatt said as he rubbed the red spot left by his mother.
Leo had a pleasant smile on as he watched Wyatt orbed to the attic to find 'anything' on the new 'threat'.
After that Wyatt spent the next month doing the same and the one after that. It was the last month he would spend with his family and Wyatt was feeling weary. How could he protect his family when he was away in college? Even with all of his new worries summer vacation continued he started noticing Chris eyeing him closer.
The far looks were still there and Chris's nightmares had not improved. For being a family whose whole power was founded in family connection theirs had a faulty at keeping things from one another.
He sometimes noticed the sad looks the sisters, his father, and grandfather give Chris when they thought he wasn't looking. Sometimes he would see the sad look that Chris would give them. He sighed, he felt tired from the last vanquish.
He had showered and now he was sitting on the couch flipping the channels. He watched longingly at Chris who was playing poker with his dad the bets being chores around the house. Chris looked back at him; there was a questioning look about him that soon after turned into a brief smile.
Wyatt smiled back and went back to the screen, with the corner of his eye he saw Chris go back to the game and Wyatt took the time to look back. He wanted to protect him so much, he wanted to be there and let Chris fly, to help him reach his goals, as much as he wanted to hold him and never let him go.
It infuriated him that Chris was still with Davis. He felt anger and jealousy towards him. He sometimes wanted to fight Davis head on and claim Chris's heart, so that he would be the one being greeted enthusiastically or even be the one kissing him goodnight. He shook those thoughts away and again turned back to the screen, but as he did that he had not take notice Leo had been watching him.
The tranquil atmosphere had been interrupted as the sisters waltzed into the room all looking worried, annoyed, and pissed off. Wyatt quickly got up turning the TV off with his power as he followed the sisters to the attic having Leo and Chris just behind his heels.
"I don't know who this new threat is but I'm going to vanquish it!" Piper yelled frustrated as Phoebe and Paige were right behind her trying to calm down their older sister.
"What happened?" Leo asked as they had all settled in the attic.
Paige's children were once again with their grandparents and Melinda was out in volleyball camp. Piper was flipping through the book furiously as Phoebe turned around to her brother-in-law and nephews.
"Remember the skinwalkers?" Phoebe asked them but her question was directed at Leo.
"Yes." Wyatt and Leo chorused while Chris looked between his family members.
"They were vanquished." She said simply.
"Impossible!" Exclaimed Leo worriedly. "That takes serious magic."
"Yeah but that's not all," Paige informed as Piper continued flipping through the book furiously, "They were sealed by what it looked to be like a ritual-spell circle of some sort before they were vanquished."
"All ten of them!" Phoebe added.
"Whatever it is," Piper exclaimed looking annoyed as she looked up to her family, "is that it's getting stronger and is growing more confident."
"How is he doing it?" Phoebe voiced.
"You can't assume it's a guy." Paige said slightly annoyed.
"What kind of circle?" Leo asked them ignoring the sisters' side track for later. "I mean do you remember if it was just a circle or did it have something else?"
"It was like this!" Phoebe moved to the table and grabbed a piece of paper and started sketching it.
It was the sign of Life trapped in a circle with thirteen small cosmos spheres going around the border of the circle. Leo was staring at it as he studied it. The color of his face draining the longer he stared at it and everyone looked at him apprehensively.
"Leo?" Piper asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"This is one of the ancient rituals the Elders keep hidden from earth's knowledge. It is called Jahra." Leo informed, "Paige you should orb to the Elders to tell them."
"I'm on it." She said as she orbed away.
"So you think that this new threat is related to the Elders?" Piper asked her husband.
"Not necessarily," Leo said, "I think that one of the Elders must have let the knowledge be known to someone."
"Could it be possible for a whielighter to recognize something like this Up There?" Phoebe asked.
"No. These sorts of things are kept hidden and only an Elder has access to them. When I was a Whitelighter i remember gates that we couldn't enter and when I became an Elder I didn't have time to go through all of the archives. But I do know that an elder had to leak out the knowledge about it because there is no other possible explanation."
Wyatt's heart was beginning to panic; if they found out about the things he had been doing he didn't know what would happen. He didn't want them to find out that he had been lying to them for almost five months about the mysterious threat. Couldn't his family just let it be?
When he had been small he had been taken Up There for protection and one of the Elders had been looking into the symbol of Jahra and Wyatt had seen it. He had asked the Elder and the Elder had seen nothing wrong with telling a small child. He of course had not told him how to perform the ritual or what it really was for but as Wyatt was having more free time now days that he had researche dit.
Once the knowledge of the Jahra was revealed to him it had become easier to put things together with the knowledge they had in earth. It was very similar to other rituals and it didn't require a sacrifice which that of course fell towards the black magic category.
It was a very powerful spell that didn't require a potion but an ancient spell that Wyatt had figured out. he had looked up the names of the cosmos in their ancient tongue and had taken the letters according to their date of birth and placed them together, after that he named off the symbol of Life and entry to the After Life to the road into oblivion with the final touch of his name binding the spell to him.
"Did you find anything in the Book?" Leo asked as he moved closer to his wife and Phoebe.
They spent the next couple of hours searching for any leads but whatever they had the Elder's were not speaking. That of course annoyed the sisters but at least it made them not figure out what next.
"So what's really going on?" Chris asked in general to his family.
"I'm sorry honey we didn't tell you," Phoebe said, "we thought that by now we had found him and vanquish him."
"We still don't know if it's a guy." Paige said from her book before turning her attention back to it.
"In the last couple of months demons that have attacked us have been vanquished by another being." Phoebe informed Chris.
So there it was Chris knew after Phoebe explained of all the things they had found and witness for the last five or so months. Chris looked surprised and worried and Wyatt wanted nothing more than to confess that it was him taking matters into his own hands. After a while they had given up for the day and slowly the attic was becoming empty with Chris leaving first. Soon after Wyatt became tired but confident that they wouldn't find something that night so he went to check on his brother.
As he went near the door he heard Chris pace in the room muttering something, Wyatt came to the door closer and heard the next:
"What am I going to do?" he heard a very worried voice in the bridge of panic, "if is happening again!"
Deciding it was time to get the truth out of his brother Wyatt opened the door to the room.
"What is happening again?" he asked a now very frantic Chris.
