Chapter 36 - Locked Away So I can Feel Safe!

Wyatt's Voice: Previously on Shock or Surprise. We took a sneak peek into my past, more specifically my special moments with Chris and the love of our sex and food. We also learned that the Olsons were up to something. At the Club, I got smashed out of my head for losing my unborn child. Helen also indicates that something is going on in the underworld and Chris finally tried to break through my defense in order to connect with me, but only he failed. Now let's see what happens…

Now~~~~~

Back of P3 at the delivery port.

"You're right. We have got a huge problem. We need to get the Book of Shadows as soon as possible." Helen said to Shane, who nodded.

"We get the book now…" Sky said as Shane shook his head in disagreement.

"We can't go now, the sisters would be home. Not to mention Faith and the kids." Shane replied back to them as Sky only rolled his eyes.

"We'll simply attack them." Sky replied back with a smile as Shane shot him a look of 'You-have-gotta-be-kidding-me' but the serious look he received from his son, only made him worry and frown.

"Listen, I know how much you want to target them, I do, but the girls are not our problem or the kids." Shane replied back as Helen nodded in agreement with her husband.

"We need to find a way to lure them out of the house or keep them busy until we can get to the book." Helen replied back as Sky looked as if he wanted to say 'Duh'

"That's why we should attack them, distract them." Sky said as Shane only glared at the response.

"You don't get it, do you? What will you do if you get yourself vanquished by the Charmed ones?" Shane asked as Sky shrugged.

"I'd like to see them try!" Sky replied back cockily.

"No! We are not going to do anything until we have a good plan that won't backfire on us because we will only have one shot at this. If the sisters find out about this, then Chaos will be unleashed and we can't afford that. We need to go through this properly, we can't make mistakes countless of other demons have made." Shane said as the Olsons nodded.

"Well it should be piece of cake for us." Sky replied back with a smirk.

"But before that, we're going to need their blood." Helen said just as a knife smoked into Sky's hand. Shane only shook his head at the kid's enthusiasm in regards to the Halliwells.

Matthew watched victor carefully. Something wasn't right about the kid. He could tell that the kid was hiding something - it's the same vibe he got from his neighbor's kid but he doesn't know what it was….ever since faith lost her baby; things are awfully calm and quiet around the Manor. The usual attack of demons barely came, as if demons have either been told to stay away from them or lost interest in them – even the odd appearance of them trying to steal the book or little Peyton never came. Also what bugged the eldest grandson was, with the holiday's finishing in 3 days, he doesn't know whether he's glad to leave this place or worried about leaving his grandparents with the odd neighbors and the newly arrived brother and his child.

Matthew inhaled deeply. His instincts are telling him not to trust the new arrivals since he could feel that whatever they are brewing silently is going to cause a big cosmic chaos and at the same time he doesn't know how to confront them to confirm his beliefs. Right now the kid - his so called Cousin Victor - was watching TV like ordinary kid, but as they say 'looks can be so deceiving'. Matthew realized this when he caught the cold blue eyes. The witch was taken back by the cold gaze and the harshness that reflected in them, he tried not to shutter visibly in front of him. If that kid had a power of 'looks could kill' He's pretty sure he would've been dead by now.

But that's not what bothered him more about this kid, it's the fact how un-socializing person he was….Matthew once tried to introduce Dean and Sam to him, but the kid discarded them as if they were mere fly, he seemed very snobby like he doesn't really want to be there and at the same time, he seems to love the fact that everyone was fawning over him. Its like he has some sort of spilt personality complex – one minute, he's cool and the next he's up in his ass.

"Such an attention seeker." Matthew thought to himself. Right that second Victor turned around to look directly at him, which made Matthew visibly flinch, but other than the intense look, Matthew received no other response. With that same intense look plastered on his face, Victor turned his attention back to the TV. For few seconds Matthew didn't know what to make of it, is the kid a telepath or something….then again he hasn't seen the kid use his powers so far, not even a flicker of Orbs.

"Maybe they are bounded." Matthew thought to himself just as a loud knock echoed through the front door. Wondering who it could be at the door at this time of the hour; Matthew made his way to the door and flunked it open only to find there was no one there. With a surprised look, he looked around the porch, but he saw no sigh of anyone. Wondering whether it was in his imagination playing tricks on him, he closed the door and turned around, only for the knocking on the door to resound again.

"Who is it?" Matthew called out opening the door to confront the….air. No one was in sight. Matthew exhaling deeply to keep his temper under control, taking in the empty street before him, he slammed the door and walked away. However half way down the foyer, the knocking returned. "Alright, whoever it was, I'm gonna beat the shit out of ya."

Matthew wrenched open the door but just as he expected there was no one, quickly rushing down the stairs, he looked left and right to see whether it was Sky, their neighbor, but at this time of the night, he doesn't understand why he would be knocking on the door. Muttering curses and spells, just in case he let some spirit loose into the house by answering its knocking, Matthew made his way in to find Victor smiling at him.

"Looking for someone?" Victor asked, trying to look innocent but didn't bother hiding his snigger.

"It was you?" Matthew asked as Victor looked shrugged.

"Maybe, but remember my powers are bounded." Victor replied back with a devious smile as Matthew's eyes widened at the thought.

"He read my mind?" Matthew thought as Victor nodded.

"There is nothing interesting to read, trust me." Victor replied back as Matthew opened his mouth like a gold fish, trying hard not to lose his temper but Victor only raised his eyebrow. "Something wrong?" Victor asked in a sickly sweet voice. Matthew simply shook his head as he glared at the kid before him and Instead of yelling, Matthew was resorted to growling under his breath as he walked away, thinking loud and clear for Victor to hear.

"Fucking telepath!"

"I heard that!" Victor shouted from the room as Matthew glanced back with a deadly glare before walking away to the Kitchen, leaving Victor to laugh his head off but died very quickly when orbs appeared before him in form of his father Chris. "Well?"

"It didn't work!" Chris hissed making his way upstairs, as Victor abandoned his TV and followed his father upstairs.

"What do you mean, it didn't work?" Victor asked as Chris burst into the attic. "I thought you said it would work." Victor said as he closed the door behind him and waving his hand, sealing sound from escaping the room.

"Yeah I thought so too, but even when he was pissed out of his head, his powers are too strong for me suppress, in order for me to reach him fully." Chris said as he waved his finger causing the book to open telekinetically and flip through magically.

"So what you're going to do now?" Victor asked as Chris carried on flipping through the pages, looking lost deep in thoughts.

"I need to come up with a potion." Chris said after many seconds of silence. "It's the only way for me to gain full access over him. Once I'm through he should receive his memories."

"You think that's wise?" Victor asked lightly wincing at the reaction he might get from the Witch before him. "I mean the guy just lost his unborn kid, do you really wanna open up more closed wounds. Why can't you just let him be?…We don't need them!"

"Let him be…?" Chris said with his left eyebrow raised, visibly shaking in anger as he looked at Victor. "YOU LISTEN TO ME!" He hissed murderously at the kid. "Don't tell me what to do; I didn't come all this way to give up now. I want him. I want Wyatt and if you think you are going to stand in my way of getting what I want then you got another thing coming. You understand me?" Victor looked taken back and pissed. "I SAID do you UNDERSTAND me?" At this Victor simply nodded before storming out of the attic.

Shane made his way to the backroom to grab couple of bottled waters, only to be surprised when he found Wyatt slouched on the ground, looking half dead - drunken outta of his head.

"C-Chris…" Wyatt slurred through his half open eyes as Shane approached him. "Wha was dat bite light fam your ring…?" At this comment Shane's frowned.

"Hey it's me man, Shane." Shane replied as he heaved Wyatt up only for the twice blessed to slum forward like a doll. "Damn dude how much did you drink?" Shane asked more to himself than Wyatt. "Come on man, let's get you home." Shane dragged Wyatt to the back. The moment the door slammed closed shut behind him, Shane looked left and right before disappearing in wisp of smoke with twice blessed.

The Potion Chris created to break into Wyatt's defense finished with a small bang just as a Halliwell's front doorbell echoed around the place. Placing the jar of herb on the counter, he made his way to the window to take a peek only to be taken back when he found the bartender standing with pissed out of Wyatt in hand. How quick they got here, he didn't understand, he only left Wyatt in that room moments ago…but when he took a look at his wrist watch, he realized it had been more than twenty minutes. Making the potion, he didn't notice the time has flown by.

"Shit" Chris thought to himself as he orbed out and orbed right in front of the door, stopping Victor halfway from reaching the door. "I've got it." Chris said to the kid, before wrenching open the door to find Shane and Wyatt. "Whoa! What happened?"

"I think he had little too much to drink." Shane said entering the house, as Chris reached to help him. "No I've got it." Shane said as Chris nodded.

"Just put him on the couch there." Chris said as Matthew entered.

"Matthew who was at the door?" Piper's voice echoed as she came into the view to see her drunken eldest son on the couch, looking really out of it - mumbling something that's not audible.

"What happened?" Piper asked as she took a seat next to her son.

"He' fine. Just really drunk." Shane replied as Piper nodded, understanding that her eldest must've got drunk to get over the pain of losing his unborn child.

"Thank you Shane." Piper said sincerely as the bartender gave a tight smile to the eldest Charmed one.

"It's nothing. Anyway I better take off. I'll drop by tomorrow to see how he's doing?" Shane said more like asked as Piper and Faith nodded. "Alright, see you guy's later." with that note Shane left the house.

Chris watched the scene before him - this Shane guy totally ruined his chance for him to use the potion and if Wyatt is sober, he wont able to make the potion or his spell wont work otherwise he'll be very strong. Just then something clicked into his mind.

"I just know the thing he needs to sober up." Chris said to his family before making his way to the kitchen.

Faith simply watched her husband as she ran her fingers through his damp hair. She never seen him this drunk but seeing him now in this state, kinda told her how much he was really hurt about loosing their child. At this thought she couldn't stop her tears that prickled at back of her eyes as they blurred vision, only to spill from her eyes and on to Wyatt's forehead. "I'm so sorry." Faith whispered as everyone left the room, feeling really bad about the situation.

Victor didn't know how he felt about doing what he has been told. This family was great, they are kind, sweet and gentle, they look out for one and another, they protect innocents, and even unknown face without expecting anything in return…but the way his father described made them like they were in the wrong. Fair enough he did find the incest part between the two brothers really disgusting but now that guy is living a normal life - with his whitelighter wife, shouldn't that count for something. Much as Victor tried to distant himself from the family so he wont feel the guilt for helping his father separate this family apart, he couldn't…every one of them are so loving and caring. Its something he never experienced.

However watching Faith slowly crying, while Wyatt looked half dead, he couldn't help but feel the pang in his heart - knowing what they are about to do is wrong - that they should leave things as it is - but much as he doesn't want to help separate these two, he knew his hands are tied down in this matters, that he doesn't have a choice in the matter. This is something they came for and he knows if he was to try and stop Chris, then bad things could happen…not just to him but to the rest of the family - its something he is not prepared to face. After all when this is over, he's been promised that he would get his family back. For that alone, he is willing to go any length, so with a set determination on his face, Victor walked out of the room, locking his true feelings inside.
