Chapter 21 - Winners are Rewarded!
Previously on Bite or Not to Bite:
Chris, Paige, Phoebe and Victor saw the power list that hovered above Wyatt in the middle, making it easier for everyone to see. Chris couldn't believe some of the powers Wyatt was offering, most of them are powers he knew must've came from good witches.
Cryokinesis - Ability to control, generate and Absorb Ice.
Electrokinesis - Ability to control, generate and absorb electrical fields.
Danger Sense - Ability to sense personal Danger.
Accelerated Healing - Ability to heal rapidly from any injuries.
Natural Armour - Ability to turn one's outer skin into unnaturally tough and durable armour.
Superhuman speed - Ability to react faster than light.
Blinking - Teleportation power.
Cloning - Ability to replicate one's self or other physical objects.
Fire balls - similar to energy balls.
Voyeurism - Ability to spy on your enemies. Similar to Invisibility.
And ten beautiful women, dressed in different colours of pantaloons and flowing scarf's made their way from either side of the crowd, each holding a velvet cushion with a glowing orb situated comfortably in the middle.
~~NOW~~
"Here are the selected powers from the list above." Wyatt said gesturing towards the ladies. "We begin with the slayer of the Witch and the winner of one power."
"The Winner of one power ball is…." The Guard with black parchment said out loud to the crowd. "Fautran, member of Fallen Coven."
At this Wyatt blinked causing the demon to appear before him, who at once bowed down to his knees before Wyatt.
"Well done, state your chosen power." Wyatt said as the Demon didn't dare meet Wyatt's eyes.
"Electrokinesis, my Liege!" Fautran whispered as Wyatt smiled holding his hand out as the women holding the Electrokinesis power ball came forward. Wyatt simply glanced at the ball, which automatically rose into the air from its cushion and soared itself into the demon. Who gasped a little but nevertheless looked pleased.
"Try it out." Wyatt said as the two charmed ones saw a wooden manikin appear at Wyatt's left.
Chris and others saw the Demon hesitate for a second but nevertheless threw his hand out, sending volts of lighting bolts at the manikin causing it to combust in ball of flames. At this the Halliwell sisters glanced at each other before looking down.
"Thank you my Liege!" The demon said his gratefulness reflecting in his tone as he backed down the stairs and joined the crowd, while Cassandra and Wyatt smiled.
"The next winner & the Slayer of the Whitelighter who I am proud is say is none other than my eldest child Victor." Wyatt's voice echoed as Chris looked at his son.
"I'll be close by." Chris said waving his hand as Victor disappeared into thin air. The girls caught the sight of Victor appearing next to Wyatt in the grant hall.
Wyatt was little taken back at his son's appearance as he neither orbed or morphed, he simply appeared out of thin air, although it's not his powers….well Wyatt does not know what kind of powers this kid packs, he never displayed them but the few he has demonstrated on his brothers have shown a very deadly potential. That's why he has bound the kid's powers except selective few.
Victor saw his father smile at him and place an arm on his shoulder to show how proud he was, that he slayed a good magical being. Although Victor wanted to shout and yell for being praised for something evil, he kept his mouth shut and looked at the crowd who all cheered and applause, since pretty much the entire magical community knows Victor is a goody two shoes and would never have the guts to slay anything. Demons would've taken the chance to kill Victor long ago if it wasn't for the fact that his father is the source of all evil with the added bonus of knowing the kid is very powerful to mess with, for he's an offspring of twice blessed witch and a charmed offspring, his brother Chris Halliwell.
If you want to know how this is all happened, simply visit .com or take the Halliwell Manor's museum tour it has details of their relationship after the story of how the Charmed ones got themselves vanquished, but mind you it's a late night tour, due to explicit nature and contents but kids under sixteen go for free.
"However my child has no need for the two powers." Wyatt said to the crowd. "So we have decided that the two powers will be given to a couple who will be chosen later on in the evening." At this another cheer went around the room.
"As for the owner of three powers." Wyatt said glancing at the guard.
"Kerick Logmon Member of snivous clan."
At this the same thing that happened earlier, took place, the demon appeared before Wyatt, he listed his desired powers and Wyatt awarded it to him, but didn't waste time in asking him to demonstrate the powers as he have chosen, Accelerated Healing, Natural Armour & Danger Sense.
"Now for the entertainment of the evening." Wyatt said gesturing towards the back, where a large stage appeared in the corner of the Hall, creating an elegant look - something like a pizza slice - On the stage, there were bands and two singers, a male and a female, both looked pleased and took a bow towards Wyatt and Cassandra.
"Let the show begin." Wyatt said as the singers and the band once again took a bow and started, just as the lights in the grand room flared and changed according to the deafening music.
Enter Song: Bodies by Drowning Pool
Chris glanced at the sisters, who are kind of looking disturbed because of the lyrics, they know it's a song yet they can also tell it has double meaning to the song, it seems as if they want the bodies of innocents to hit the floor, in terms - they mean kill more innocent. The scream is more like a battle field cry as each word seems to echo loudly around them.
The girls saw Wyatt and Cassandra watch the crowd, while Damien and Fork disappear in tunnel of black orbs, while Victor took off in a run up the stairs. The guests have gathered around the stage, some screaming with the chorus.
"Alright you guys find Piper; I'm going to distract Wyatt." Chris said walking out on the girls, who looked puzzled but never the less looked around trying to find Piper in the glimmering disco Tec light before making their way out, hoping to snoop more while others are distracted.
B~~~~K~~~~~
Meanwhile downstairs, Chris made his way through the crowd, glancing around to find waitress are going around with glasses of drinks and blood and god knows what.
Wyatt on the other hand waved his hand, conjuring two gold thrones for him and his wife. Before taking a seat to watch the performance as the girl sang 'Sweet Dreams by Marylin Manson. Wyatt had to admit the party is going great, his children seem to enjoy it, his guests seems to enjoy, even his mother….well he doesn't know if she's enjoying this party or not as she seem to show no emotion what so ever, she's like a puppet doll, doing what she's been told. Of course, under Wyatt's spell, Piper tried to cast spell on Chris to make him submissive to Wyatt but for unknown reason that didn't work out either, so wherever he was, he was protected from her spells.
Chris approached the stage as the song reached its final lyrics. He quickly casted a glance towards Wyatt and Cassandra but they were busy talking to each other more like playing tonsil tennis, so the young witch turned around to find the girl on the stage smile at him, from what he can tell, she was a one of the blood sucking creatures as well. Chris leaned into her and whispered something, at this the girl looked quizzically at Chris but nevertheless nodded. The girl in turn whispered something to the guy next to her, at this the guy showed thumbs up at Chris, who nodded and disappeared into the crowd.
Wyatt was too busy with his wife to pay any attention to what was happening near the stage, if he only glanced towards the stage instead of running his tongue all over his wife, he would've caught glimpse of Chris talking to the singers.
"Shall we dance?" Cassandra said getting off Wyatt's lap, as the twice blessed smiled at his wife's seduction. He let her lead him down the stairs to the dancing floor to the middle, just as the electric lights went out, illuminating the hall with candle flames, giving the illusion of being in the fiery pit of hell, since for some odd reasons, the lights were casting from below, while strobe lights flickered on and off.
Enter Song - In the Shadows by Rasmus
Wyatt swiftly moved with his wife, the music tune turned dark, the tune seem to make his heart beat faster in anticipation of something wicked to happen as well as it seem to have a mystifying and mysterious effect around him in the air. The candle lights casting shadowy figures around. Wyatt turned around, just as he caught a sight of emerald eyes in the mist of the crowd. Only the eyes were visible, illuminated by the candle light for brief second, but rest were hidden in shadows like the hall.
No sleep,
No sleep until I am done with finding the answer,
Won't stop…
The emerald eyes he knew well, sparkled in the candle light, it drew his attention, it questioned him, however when Cassandra spun around in front of him for a split second, he lost sight of the eyes.
Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer…
He glanced to the same spot only to find nothing but darkness.
Sometimes, I feel like going down and so disconnected….
Wyatt kept his eyes out as he danced around with his wife but just as he was expecting, he once again caught sight of the green eyes again.
Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted.
He immediately released his wife from his grip and approached the man in black tux without taking his eyes off in case of losing him from his sight.
I've been watching, I've been waiting, in the shadows all my time…
The moment Wyatt approached the man in black mask, he bowed but Wyatt didn't care for formalities as he grabbed the man by the collar and removed his mask only to find….not the person he was searching for…
I've been searching, I've been living for tomorrows all my life…
Wyatt was hoping for it to be Chris but it wasn't. It was someone else, he too had green eyes but those looked at him with fear and they were not the same eyes.
In the shadows….
Wyatt released him and turned around just as Cassandra approached him, no one noticed this as the most of the hall was swarming in darkness and they are all dancing to the dark tune.
In the shadows…
"What's wrong?" Cassandra asked as Wyatt shook his head, glancing into the crowd as he caught another sight of the familiar emerald eyes.
They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe, but I…
The eyes seem to laugh at him and at the same time they sparkled seductively before blinking out into darkness.
I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave,
He knew they belonged to Chris and somehow the twice blessed knew, the young witch was with him in the building. Chris closed his eyes and turned away, his black clothing helping him blend into darkness.
Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder,
Chris walked around the wall within the darkness but for a spilt second he lost sight of Wyatt, causing him to look around wildly just as he found the twice blessed standing near a statue looking very confused. Chris couldn't help but admire Wyatt in the candle night illumination; however it wasn't long before Wyatt locked his eyes with him, the spooky music only added to the mood.
Somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder.
Chris was about to do another disappearing act when he felt a strong arms wrap around his waist, startling him.
"I always knew you love taking risks." Wyatt's voice whispered in his ears, as Chris saw Wyatt on the other side disappear in smoke, that's when Chris realized it was nothing but an illusion to catch him.
I've been watching, I've been waiting, in the shadows all my time,
The young witch didn't get a chance to react as he was turned around by the arms, that's wrapped around his waist to meet Wyatt's blue questionable eyes in the candlelight.
I've been searching, I've been living for tomorrows all my life,
Wyatt held on to Chris' waist with his left arm, while he held the young witch's left arm with his right. They began to dance to the tune; even though Chris knew people gonna notice something as they are the only two male couples dancing together, Wyatt didn't seem to care.
"You know me," Chris replied back as Wyatt nodded.
Lately I been walking…
"Yeah, so why are you here Chris?" Wyatt asked as he spun around with Chris in his arms. It felt totally normal, it's like he's been doing this for months, yet even in their dance, both are trying to dominate one over another, as they took steps collaborating to one and another. "I thought you were on your quest to save me."
Walking in circles…
"Oh I am, but then again I gotta attend my nephew' birthday party, even though I wasn't invited, after all family comes first." Chris replied back as Wyatt lightly chuckled.
Watching….
"Oh! I would've believed you only if I didn't know you any better," Wyatt replied back as Chris rolled his emerald eyes that seem to sparkle with mischievousness. "I know how you got in or why you're here Chris but rest assure you're not leaving with her." at this Chris only smiled.
Waiting for something…..
"Clearly you don't know me well as you think you do, Wy." Chris said with a raised eyebrow as Wyatt shook his head with a chuckle before pulling Chris close to him, crushing their waist together, leaning down close to Chris, his lips barely an inch away from the other.
Feel me….
"Really?" the twice blessed whispered.
"Really because if you knew me, I wouldn't be here without a plan." Chris said pulling away from Wyatt and grabbing a nearest lady, changing partners as Wyatt returned to Cassandra just in time as the queen approached her hubby.
Touch me….
"Oh I do know that." Wyatt telepathically replied. His crystal blue eyes never leaving Chris, as they danced with their partners.
Heal me…..
"Yeah, the only reason I'm not vanquishing your guests is because I don't wanna ruin your son' birthday." Chris replied back before walking away only for Wyatt to let Cassandra go and quicken the pace to confront his young brother. Chris on the other hand was little taken back when he found Wyatt standing in front of him.
The Twice blessed gave a little bow, Chris didn't know whether to take it as a mockery or sarcastic sign but the actions of Wyatt caused everyone else to form a line facing their partners, and because the twice blessed is facing a male, everyone else paired up with their own gender. So its male-male, female-female facing each other. Wyatt smiled a bit when Chris had no choice but to lightly bow towards Wyatt, knowing he is taking the pleasure of this simply little act.
Come take me higher….
"That's really mature of you Chris, but come on we all know the real reason of why you're not vanquishing my guests." Wyatt's blue eyes glinted as he straightened up from the bow. Chris mirrored the action before taking their handheld fans out from his inner sleeve and with a flick of their fans; they covered their faces leaving only their eyes visible in that darkness. The lights began to flicker, creating a disco Tec effect; at this the emerald eyes before Wyatt seem to shine.
"What is that then?" Chris asked, his eyes mirroring the question.
"It's protected from good magic, you can't use any of your powers here honey." Wyatt said as everyone began to move in circles in the dark, facing their partners yet never removing their fans away from their faces. "And I'm pretty sure you won't use your other powers."
I've been watching, I've been waiting, in the shadows all my time….
"I don't think we would've been here if you only knew me as well as I know you." Chris replied as Wyatt noticed how mesmerizing Chris' eyes looked, every blink, he can tell every emotion in those emerald eyes, the smile, the calculations, the questionable & the challenging look. "But that's alright, I guess what we had between each other was nothing but lust & sex… at least in your point of view anyway," Wyatt's eyes only seem to chuckle at his reply. "And I'm not your honey."
I've been searching, I've been living for tomorrows all my life….
"You know that's not true Chris, I loved you and still do only if promise never to cross me again."
"You know me better than that Wyatt."
"I know, come on Chris, Be with me….that's all I ask." Wyatt said returning to their original partners as Wyatt went back to Cassandra.
"I'm afraid you gotta choose Wy, It's either me or your new love of your life, Cassandra."
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Wyatt replied telepathically as Chris saw the snicker in the crystal blue eyes.
I've been watching…..
"You don't have to, because I knew the answer from day one." Chris replied as Wyatt saw the anger flash in the emerald eyes. This only showed how much Chris loved him, because if Chris didn't, then he wouldn't be jealous of Cassandra.
I've been waiting….
"Oh honey, you sound like you are jealous." Wyatt said as he saw Chris rolls his eyes, it lingered in the balcony for a second, before coming down to meet his. Wyatt automatically glanced towards the place where Chris's eyes lingered, only to find darkness. When Wyatt's eyes met Chris's emerald, they only seem to snicker.
I've been searching….
"What's wrong baby, you're not seeing things are you?" Chris taunted as Wyatt kept his cool, still dancing to the tune, but before Chris knew what was going on, Wyatt left Cassandra and walked right towards him. The young witch was even more surprised when the twice blessed shoved the woman that's dancing with Chris, out of the way to grab his arm and waist.
I've been living for tomorrows….
At this everyone seem to have noticed, including Cassandra. Everyone quickly backed away to form a circle around Wyatt and Chris, while Cassandra stood at the side, inside the circle, looking frustrated and pissed. As If she wants to throw tantrum, she made her way towards Wyatt, but one look from the twice blessed caused her to halt in her steps.
In the shadows….
"Wow, this isn't like you Wyatt." Chris replied back, totally surprised by the situation. "I mean, you chose me over your wife to dance….I guess, I should feel like I'm honoured or something."
"See, you still don't know me as you think you do." Wyatt whispered in his ears as he danced to the tune, while everyone else watched. "And yeah, you should be honoured, not everyone gets to dance with…"
"The source of all evil?" Chris cut in with a smile, as Wyatt shook his head little annoyed
In the shadows….
"No," Wyatt said as Chris caught sight of Paige and Phoebe looking down at them from a higher balcony. "With the powerful witch on earth."
"I also guess not everyone gets the privilege to see you run around naked or change your diaper either." Chris replied back as Wyatt raised an eyebrow at him, but the young witch only smiled, with a twinkle in his eyes.
I've been waiting!
