Charmed And Cursed
Chapter five: Blind Fury
Jake had seen red when the female vampire had she had made Leo explode. He had disappeared in a cloud of white light, and although Jake knew Leo couldn't die he always panicked.
Leo was the only thing even resembling that of a parent he had left he didn't think he could handle another loss he just didn't have it in him.
He couldn't.
He wouldn't.
And he would defiantly not lose Leo. So when Leo disappeared Jake had just gone into attack mode. e He
He had thrown him himself into the room and at the vampire that saw to do Leo harm. He hadn't thought about the danger to himself. It hadn't even occurred to him. He had just thrown himself at the vampire with all the hate and the fury he could muster.
He had lashed out and screamed his challenge at the one who sort to take away the one stable thing in his life away. The vampire had no right. He had not battled long and hard to have Leo snatched from him by a vampire with an attitude problem! A vampire that obviously had no care for anyone in the world.
Jake snarled, he hated people like her. He hated beings like her they where the reason there was good and evil in the world in the first place. He screamed and she fell to the floor under the force of his lunge.
She screamed in shock and failed trying to get to him but he was too fast and then Phoebe and Paige were hauling him off her and Paige orbed him away he was snarling and cursing all the way.
They landed again and Jake went to make a break for the door but Paige stood in his way. "Oh no you don't!" She said holding her arms out towards him in an effort to calm him down.
"Paige I have to help Leo!" He yelled. "I have to help him I can't lose anyone else especially him!" Paige's face showed sympathy and compassion but all she said was, "You should know by now that Leo can handle himself." "I don't care!" Jake said stubbornly still trying to reach the door. "Well I do." Paige said not moving and making impossible for Jake to get past her.
"How about you calm down and then maybe I'll let you out this room hmm?" Paige asked lifting an eyebrow in challenge. Usually Jake would have known enough to see the sense of the argument and clam down but right now all he cared about was making sure Leo was ok.
At the back of his mind he knew Leo had survived much more than a vampire attack but for some reason Jake just knew that this would be worse. He did not how or why but he did not trust the female vampire downstairs as far as he could throw her.
Paige waiting for an answer and seeing, as none was very forthcoming she scowled and said, "All right how about I call Leo up here then?" Jake frowned at her.
"No offence Paige but this White Lighter thing? You totally have not got it yet." Paige coloured and then smiled slightly and shrugged. "I haven't really had the opportunity to "get it", as you put it, yet." Jake smiled and said, "Sorry I'm just used to Leo." "You and me both kiddo." Paige said rolling her eyes.
"So will you call Leo then?" Jake wanted to know trying to keep the optimism out of his voice. "Of course." Paige said nodding. "He may not come right away though. That was some scene down there." At this Jake's face turned to thunder.
"If you had let me I would have sorted it out!" "And got yourself killed?" Paige shot back. "I don't think so." Jake scowled. "I may only be eighteen but I've handled more than one vampire with an attitude. I've had too. That's why I can't loose Leo he's the only stable thing in my life."
Paige's eyes became soft with compassion. "We would never do anything to actively put Leo in any danger he means more to us that you can ever know." Then without saying anything else she shouted. "Leo!"
He was surprisingly quick and orbed in, in a matter of seconds. "Leo you're ok!" Jake had never felt relief like it and threw himself at Leo who was shocked to say the least, after all it wasn't often that Jake allowed for this type of emotional exchange but seeing his charge clinging to him he returned the hug with enthusiasm.
They pulled apart and Paige who was watching this with an open mouth saw just how affective a White Lighter Leo was to his other charges not just the sisters. Paige had never really seen Leo in action outside what he did for the sisters, sure she knew he had other charges but she had never stopped to consider how her brother-in-law affected other lives for the better.
She realised then how much she herself loved Leo not just as a brother in law but as her White Lighter.
"I'm always ok Jake," Leo said as he pulled apart from his young charge. "You know that." "Today I thought you weren't gonna be." Jake said. "She wants to kill you Leo I know it."
Leo had never lied to any of his charges before. He had certainly withheld the truth but he had never lied to any of them. He wouldn't start now. "Yes, she does."
Jake started. He knew Leo was one of the most truthful of the White Lighters but that wasn't the point. "She is?" He asked in a small voice. "Leo you can't leave me." Jake said looking more like the lost boy Leo had taken care of all those years ago than ever.
"Myrenna is just upset she believes I have wronged her though I can't understand why. I have been in worse situations than the one I find myself presently in. She is hurting Jake and when I get to the bottom of why we may understand better."
"I DON'T CARE!" Jake exploded. "Keep your voice down!" A new voice said. They turned and found Piper coming in the doorway. "Phoebe is watching the vampire. I need to talk to Jake."
Paige nodded and left to help Phoebe with their newest demon venture while Leo and Piper surveyed Jake. "We have to get you out the house." Piper said. "Why?" Jake wanted to know.
"I'm not going anywhere until I know that bitch downstairs won't hurt Leo again." Piper sighed. "She keeps trying to hurt Leo because he's blocking her from you."
"What the hell does she want with me?" Jake said shocked. "That remains to be seen." Leo said. "The Elders told me that if the Demon I was cloaking you from ever found you they'd kill you but I think it's a different story now."
"I'm Leaving." Jake said at last. "Oh no you don't." Leo rushed to stop Jake. "I know what this is about. Jake, this is my job this is who I am this is not your fault."
"YES IT IS!" Jake screamed. "All my life all I've ever known is you. You've looked after me when there was no one else and now some vampire with an attitude is trying to kill you because of me. I won't be the reason you get hurt." "I think if you leave she will only get worse." Piper said logically.
"Something does not add up here and before we do anything else we'll have to figure it out."
Jake felt the raw fury threaten to take over him again and snarled, "Believe me if you don't figure it out soon I'll figure it out myself."
Downstairs Myrenna paced around the living room like a caged animal she had already tired to get past Phoebe physically and magically and it hadn't worked. Evidently she knew about some of Myra's powers though she couldn't figure out how that was even possible.
"Let me see him." She snarled.
"No." Phoebe said simply crossing her arms across her chest. "You don't understand." Myrenna tried. "No, you're damn right we don't. And believe me you didn't do yourself any favours attacking Leo with Piper or the one you seek."
She gave Myrenna a pointed look that Myra couldn't quite work out. "What the hell do you mean?" "She means that you may want that charge but he certainly does not want to be within ten miles of you."
Myrenna looked round and saw Piper come into the room accompanied by Paige and Leo. "Is he here." Piper smirked. "He says to tell you he is and that you're to stay the hell away from Leo if you ever want us to co-operate."
Myrenna saw red again. The words didn't process until it was too late. She dived at Leo. "YOU BASTARD YOU'VE MADE HIM HATE ME!" She was roughly thrown off Leo and the think air seemed to shimmer. She vaguely heard a snarl.
"No you did that yourself attacking the only person whoever cared for me." She saw the shimmer pull Leo up and pulled him out the room.
Piper kicked her and snarled, "Get up!" Myrenna didn't dare disobey. She was more powerful and ages older than the woman in front of her but Myrenna knew when to quit.
She stood up her bust lip and black eye healing as fast as she had got them. "Now unless you tell us who you are and what you want with him then I'm afraid you're about to loose him forever."
With that the three sisters walked out the room. They seemed to know that she wouldn't try and leave. She was too near John to leave now after so long. But now what did she do?
She'd screwed up again. She'd wanted him to love her and now all that was in its place was Blind Fury.
She shook her head. When would she learn that acting with her heart instead of her head always got her into trouble?
