Disbelief was on the faces of the three young witches, but Wyatt couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart. He couldn't say why.
"How does that witch in danger ?" he asked suddenly.
"I get why I felt this coldness in me when I shook her hand." Bianca said as she sat down on the couch.
"Explain !" Piper urged her.
"It was like someone was sticking an ice pick in my stomach. It was horrible." Bianca answered, putting a hand on her stomach. "She must… have immense powers for me to feel such a thing."
Wyatt felt deep inside him the vital need to learn more.
"What do you know about her, Aunt Paige ?" he asked.
"Just her name. The Elders told me she was in danger." Paige replied. "They didn't tell me more."
"You know her ?" Phoebe questioned.
"She just got into high school and she's in most of my classes. I met her this morning. I was sitting next to her but, I didn't feel any magic in her." Wyatt explained.
"It's because she protects herself !" came a woman's voice.
Sandra, one of the Elders, appeared in the middle of the Halliwell's living room.
"Hello, Sandra !" Piper greeted.
"Hello ! Finally, we found her, and she needs to be taken to the safety of Magic School without further delay." Sandra warned them.
"But she is undetectable with my radars." Paige pointed out.
"I know Paige, and we can't locate her either. Now that we know Wyatt had contact with her, you can do your job." said the Elder.
"Is it possible that Keira discovered Bianca's true nature just by touching her ?" Chris asked.
"It's very possible." Sandra nodded. "She has immense powers but we don't know how much."
"Aaaahhh !" Wyatt grimaced, putting a hand over his heart.
He nearly fell but Chris caught him.
"What is happening to you ?" Piper asked alarmed.
"I do not know." Wyatt replied. "What is happening ?"
At the other side of San Francisco !
On Keira's side, she had left high school in a hurry to join her small apartment rented under a false name. She had felt a harmful power in Bianca, and she was immediately alarmed. Yet she felt nothing coming from Wyatt, and his brother, Chris. She had to leave San Francisco as soon as possible, but something dissuaded her from doing so. Without her being able to explain it, something in Wyatt attracted her. What she felt for him when she had only known him for a few hours was very strong. She knew who he was and what family he came from, and all the more reason not to endanger him or his family.
"You must not get attached to him, otherwise you will suffer, and so will he." she thought.
When she entered her apartment, she went straight to her bedroom where she pulled a box from under her bed, and pulled out an old notebook. She was leafing through it when a noise in her small living room caught her attention. Keeping the notebook in her hands, she grabbed a vial from her box, which she slipped into the pocket of her jeans, then hurried into the next room, before stopping.
"Crowley !" she says.
In front of her was the person responsible for her escape. Before her stood the demon responsible for her misfortune.
"Finally I find you my little Keira, and I will finally have the powers that I covet so much." he said in his evil voice.
"I would never give them to you willingly, and you know it." she warned him.
"You know, what I like the most about you is your tenacity and your stubbornness. Your mother had the same." he blurted out.
She swallowed hearing those words. She slowly backed away to put some distance between her and him. Crowley turned around, surveying the scene, and Keira took the opportunity to slip a hand into the back pocket of her pants. She took out the vial of a red liquid tinged with orange, and held it preciously in her hand, ready to use it.
"Come on Keira, give me your powers." he told her, turning around.
"Go to Hell, Crowley !" she spat.
"It will be with pleasure but, once I have taken all your powers." he replied, pulling a knife from his jacket.
"For that, I have to use them against you, and I won't give you that pleasure." she retorted.
He paced the living room while holding the tip of the knife to his temple. A sadistic smile appeared on his face.
"I'll have to push you to use them then." You see, what amazes me even more apart from your pig character, is that you didn't try to avenge your family, after what I did to them." he provoked.
Keira's back hit the wall and she nearly dropped the vial but barely caught it. Crowley approached her quickly, and plunged his knife into Keira's stomach, avoiding her heart. Her face contorted in pain, but despite the pain, she managed to push Crowley across the room with her telekinesis, then she threw the vial on the floor. The shock knocked her out of the room, leaving Crowley alone.
"I WILL FIND YOU YOU BITCH, AND I WILL RIPP YOU LIKE I RIPPED YOUR MOTHER !" he yelled before disappearing as well.
Halliwell's Manor !
Wyatt collapsed to the ground, kneeling, arms across his stomach as if he had just been stabbed with a spear.
"Wyatt !" Piper panicked as she walked over to her son.
Coop arrived with Billie and Leo, and the door opened to reveal Henry, Paige's husband.
"What is happening ?" asked Henry.
"Wyatt, what's wrong with you ?" Piper alarmed her son.
The latter got up with difficulty and clung to his brother.
"Wyat !" Phoebe called, worried about her nephew.
"Wyatt, help me !" came Keira's voice in his mind.
"Keira !" he whispered, but everyone heard him say the name of Paige's charge.
"What ?" Paige urged him. "What is happening ?"
"Wyatt, I'm in your attic !" Keira's voice told him.
Without further ado, the young wizard got rid of his brother and ran to the attic of the Manor, while leaning on the wall and the bar of the stairs so as not to fall in his haste.
"WYATT, WAIT !" Chris shouted at him running after him.
He didn't hear anyone calling him, not even the footsteps behind him because he was in too much of a hurry to get to the attic. When he entered the room, what he saw froze him. The girl he had unconsciously fallen in love with was lying next to the Book of Shadows, a dagger stuck in her stomach. She was still alive.
"Keira !" he breathed, rushing at her.
He knelt down next to her and tried to calm her down, as fear painted over his face, which whitened every second.
"Wyatt…you…heard me…" she said harshly.
"Wyatt !" came Chris' voice.
Everyone had arrived in the attic and they had all stopped.
"Aunt Paige, please help her !" Wyatt begged her desperately.
Paige went to kneel next to Keira.
"Alright Wyatt, on three you take the knife away so I can heal her." she explained.
"Ok !" he nodded, putting his right hand on the handle of the knife.
"One, two, three !" Paige counted.
Wyatt removed the knife from Keira's stomach, causing her to scream. His cry echoed throughout the Manor. Her bloodied right hand found Wyatt's, under the strange gaze of Coop whose ring had been twinkling ever since he'd entered the attic. Paige's hands lit up and closed Keira's gaping wound from the knife. The young witch had closed her eyes because of the tears that burned her eyes, and she told herself that she was going to die because the wound was too deep to be healed, even by a Whitelighter. The wound finally closed, and Keira took a deep breath of air before straightening up and clinging to Wyatt's neck, sobbing hot tears. The latter hugged her tightly and soothed her by whispering in her ear :
"It's ok, you have nothing more to fear."
"Protect the Manor, or he will find me." she warned them, calming her tears.
"Billie !" Piper said.
"I'm on it." Billie assured.
She took a box where the crystals lay and began to protect the Manor by placing them in every corner of the house. Phoebe, who had noticed that her husband's ring was sparkling, and she knew what that meant, looked at the Cupid with a puzzled look.
"You're okay ?" Wyatt asked Keira.
"Yeah, thanks to you." she replied, smiling at him.
He smiled back and helped her up. When Keira caught Bianca's gaze :
"Do not come near me !"
"I won't hurt you." Bianca reassured her.
"She's on our side." Wyatt informed him.
Trusting Wyatt, she relaxed but only on the outside. She looked for her notebook and found it at the other end of the attic. She went to retrieve it and felt much better.
"Is that your grimoire ?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, but it's not as thick as the Book of Shadows." she replied.
"Let's go back down to the living room. We have things to tell each other." Piper ordered. "Chris, take the Book of Shadows."
Everyone came out of the attic and Wyatt held out his hand to Keira, and she took it without hesitation. At this contact, an electric shock ran through them, which confirmed Coop's suspicions. Once in the small interior veranda of the Manor, Keira tensed but the hand of Wyatt which pressed tenderly hers relaxed her. Chris arrived with the Book of Shadows which he gave to his mother.
"Keira, tell us who did this to you." Piper encouraged her.
"His name is Crowley, and he's a very powerful demon." Keira said.
"And what does he want ?" Leo asked.
"He wants my powers, but I have to use them against him for him to get them." she replied.
"I found him !" Piper announced.
She showed Keira the grimoire page containing Crowley's information, and she said hoarsely :
"It's him !"
The demon's name is a little tribute to the King of Hell, in Supernatural *-*
