-1Chapter 8-
"Hey honey. How was your day?" Gwen's aunt ask her.
"It was okay. I mean considering that I think my white lighter might be a little crazy and obsessive." she answers flopping down in the chair in front of her aunt.
The crystal ball that her aunt uses to see the future sits in between them. She went to visit her aunt at her little shop after a rigorous practice with Chris. Her aunt chuckles at her answer.
"Its not funny. I am serious. One day he is calm and gentle and just plays around. The next he is serious and uptight. Just like the first time we met him." she says huffing out.
She places her hands on the base of the crystal ball and her aunt covers them. Concern covers her aunts features as she looks into the vision. Gwen then begins to cry.
"Are you okay?" the older woman ask her niece.
After her mothers death when she was born she has been taking care of her and she can't imagine anything happening to her. She wants nothing but to protect her of any kind of pain.
"I can't tell him?" she ask her aunt in a whisper.
She shakes her head side to side.
"This is his battle. Not ours." the wiser woman says. "Just bare with him honey. All of his obsession is going to be worth it."
The younger girl gets up.
"At what cost?" she then walks out and bumps into an incoming man.
She then sees a vision of this demon attacking a fellow witch. A younger girl that he seems to have imprison in the underworld or something.
She quickly runs to her home and calls for Chris the moment she closes the door to there little magic room.
"Chris come on this important." she says when she doesn't get any answer.
"What is it?" he says as he appears behind her.
"I just had a vision coming out of my aunts place. I saw a witch that is kidnap and is going to be kill by a demon." she says it all in one breath.
"What did she look like? Where did you see her?" he ask her holding her by the arms.
"I don't know she is a girl around my age. Taller, with short blonde hair. She was screaming and I think she is in the underworld." she answers.
"Then you can't help her. I'll go tell my mom and aunts and…" he starts but she interrupts him.
"It is my vision Chris. You can't give this to someone else." she says pointing a finger at his chest. "Its my job now. You been training me for this."
"No your not." he grabs her finger and holds her hand. "It can be to dangerous for you. Remember what happen last time."
"Yes I remember but it was my first time and I wasn't prepare. Now I am." she pulls her hand. "Whether you'll help me or not. I will do it."
She turns to leave but he grabs her arm and makes them go face to face.
"Its to dangerous. You can't and you wont be going." he says sternly.
"Remember what I did to you the day we met." she says smiling slyly at him.
"Yeah, why?" he ask.
"Well if you tell me again what I can or cannot do I'll make sure that that will happen to you again." she pauses for a moment. "Or I can make your mind blank and I will go without you noticing. Your choice."
"I don't want you to get hurt." he says after a while. "How about if you die when we go? What if that is a trap to get to you?"
Her face falls when she hears the word die. She remembers what she sees in the crystal ball.
"Chris don't worry about me." she smiles at him. "You been doing a good job and you'll be there with me. We need to save her. Its our responsibility."
"Okay you win. We'll go." just then the door burst open.
It is her aunt.
"Where do you think you two are going?" she ask.
"We have an innocent to save." Gwen answers back holding Chris' hand.
"No your not." the aunt answers back. "You know the rules Gwen. The demons that come to my shop are of limits. I am suppose to be a neutral party and if you go after him just after leaving my place demons can think that I am a good witch and go after us."
"I don't care. We are powerful enough to take them." Gwen answers back.
"I don't want demons attacking my home." the aunt says back.
Chris just stands back. This a family fight that he doesn't want to get in between. Of course he is use to having demons come and fight in his home but they never have before.
"She is an innocent. I need to save her." Gwen answers back.
Gwen then drops to the floor and clutches her shirt in pain. Chris kneels next to her as her aunt turns around.
"You came to distract me?" Gwen ask her aunt. "You knew."
Her aunt doesn't say anything and Gwen orbs away. Leaving Chris to look at the sad face of her aunt.
He shakes her head at her and orbs in search for his powerful charge.
He finds her in the underworld staring at a black spot on the floor.
"She died right here." she says without looking up. "He killed her."
Tears begin to stream down her cheeks and Chris picks her up and hold her tightly. She cries into his chest for a long while.
"Let me show you something." he says when she finally pulls away.
When she nods a little he orbs them to the top of the golden bridge and sits her in the middle.
She looks around and smiles at him.
"One of your other special places?"
"Yeah." he answers back.
"I can't believe she did that." she says sniffing. "She is suppose to be my aunt and she double crossed me."
"She did what she tough was right, Gwen. She didn't grow up with demons attacking her house like I did. You didn't either. She is just looking out for you." he says trying to calm her down.
She just nods.
"Chris promise me something." he nods at her. "Promise me you'll be careful. I will hat to loose you too."
She then gets up and hugs him tightly. After a while she gives him a kiss in the cheek.
"Why…" he begins.
"Just be careful, please." she says burying her face in his chest.
