ALRIGHT, IT'S BEEN AWHILE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. IT WILL PROBABLY BE A LONGER WHILE TOO SINCE I HAVE LOTS OF LAST MINTUE PROJECTS AS WELL AS FINALS COMING UP. SORRY, GUYS. WNJOY THOUGH.
REVIEW ME AND TELL ME HOW YOU ARE LIKING IT ALSO!
Wyatt shook his curled blond head at her. He wouldn't let her die. It wasn't an option for either of them on the bridge and it wasn't one now. They were going to figure out together how to stop her from being like this forever and they were going to do it soon. He didn't care how they did it as long as they found a cure. He wasn't going to just win her over now to lose her all over again like he had in every life before this.
Wyatt didn't care what the cost was as long as he found a way to save her again.
"How long can you hold on without killing again?" he asked her instantly serious. He didn't rule out the fact that she may have to kill again. He just was trying to see if he could figure out an ulterior move before doing so.
He didn't like the options at the moment. He didn't want to really bring Chris back into the equation either. However, he would if he had to. Watt knew Chris loved Victoria more then anything. He knew he would give her anything.
Wyatt didn't doubt he would save her life if he could. It wouldn't hurt him either. All he would need to do was give her a little bit of his life energy or whatever it was that she took. Wyatt didn't want to bring this problem to Chris now. Especially after everything that had happened in the last few minutes between all of them.
The shift was clear in the air as Wyatt stared down at Victoria. There also was something else magical in the air around them and he didn't know what it really was. He hoped that Chris hadn't done something stupid that he would regret later.
"I don't know. I can't control myself after a certain point." she answered. She somehow was a little better now then she was before, but he wasn't going to push the envelope. He had seen the sickness take over her and he was going to make sure she didn't have to go through hell again if he could help it. " I can't be here, Wyatt. Not around you or your family. I don't want to hurt anyone and that's exactly what I will do if I stay."
"I won't drop you off somewhere. You'll be worse off alone." he replied stroking her hair gently back from her pale face.
She shook her head earnestly. "Wyatt, I already got a taste of you. I need more and you would be the first person…"
He shook his head. He didn't believe she would do it. However, he had seen her half crazed because of it before in the alley and he didn't put it past her to do it again if it got that bad.
"Wyatt, you know what happened last time we fought each other. " she reminded him tiredly.
"Yeah, my family helped you fight the curse."
"More then that. I sent you to the Netherworld. I had you comatose. I kicked your ass." she replied as all he did was shake his head in stubbornness.
Just as she said this they heard some louder voices coming from the family room. She stared at the entrance to the room that was right through the solarium tiredly with her dark head lying on the table still. Her body was flat and uncomfortable lying on the smooth wood table but she couldn't help it.
She had to try not to use any energy more energy then necessary or else something bad would happen. Something very bad.
"Leo, I am not possessed by some magical power. You are insane." Piper shrieked.
"Piper, calm down." Leo ordered.
Wyatt exchanged a quick look with Victoria and she nodded to him. He quickly let go of her hand and started towards the solarium where he would have a better view of his arguing parents.
"I will not calm down. My husband is talking crazy talk and I am not calming down. No wonder Phoebe thinks the way she does. You've been feeding her all this magical nonsense. It's a surprise I haven't gone crazy with all of your nonsense by now."
"Piper, Leigh, our innocent, did this to you."
"Uh, no. No, I didn't. I didn't do anything here. Hel-lo, innocent girl kidnapped by aliens with powers. So, not the bad guy." Leigh's voice replied shakily.
"You see? Now you've scared our company." Piper replied reprimanding her husband.
"Piper, seriously. You are under a magical spell. You have to snap out of it."
"Oh, wow, really. So, Mr. Know it all, how did I come under this spell?" Piper asked.
Wyatt watched as he saw his mother from behind. Her hands were now on her hips as she stared at his father. Her long dark brown hair flying around her face in her anger as she fought with him. Leo, on the other hand, was trying to remain calm. His light blue eyes were snapping with impatience though. He had his hands flying around as he tried to explain to Piper what had happened.
"All I know is that the Elders called me up there to warn you that Leigh has received demonic powers. Anyone she touches she infects. Everyone is in danger. If she touches you then the worst trait you have or else your most unspoken insecurity or need comes out. Right now, you're need to be normal is taking over. Don't let it, Piper. You have to be strong."
Piper watched him a second and then started laughing. She let her head roll from side to side as she shook her head and then turned away and started for the kitchen. "Nice try, Leo. You almost had me."
"Piper!" Leo cried out in exasperation
Wyatt took a few steps back and ran back to the kitchen knowing they'd be there in a second.
Victoria had closed her eyes to the world for the small amount of time she knew she had till Wyatt returned. Pain was flying though her body from the bruises she had received from Chris's little telekinetic punch she'd received moments before. She didn't blame him for it either.
She had done something stupid. She had done something she shouldn't have ever done. She shouldn't have gotten Wyatt involved in any of this. He wouldn't know what was wrong with her then, he wouldn't be so close to her now, and she wouldn't have to worry about killing him. She wouldn't have kissed him either.
That was a biggie. She had kissed him. It had been in thank you, but… it had felt like more. He had definitely taken it as more and it had felt so good. It had felt natural. Of course, a few lifetimes together and anything would feel natural.
She hadn't meant to hurt Chris. She had just done it spur of the moment. She felt like a whore as she tried to ignore the pain rifling through her body. She deserved all the hell she was put through for it. She had brought it upon herself.
She had to see Chris. She knew that. She had to see him and talk to him. She had to explain what had happened. She didn't know how to. She couldn't now. Not in this condition, she wouldn't let him see her like this.
She had to talk to him though. She owed him so much more.
"Chris," she whispered as her voice faltered in the pain that was rushing over her body. It was coming back again . The hunger. She had to go. She couldn't stay like this forever.
Wyatt came back to Victoria in a hurry. The sight of her encompassed him as he did. She wasn't looking so well. She had broken into a sweat now and she had her eyes closed to the whole world around her. Wyatt came to her and brushed her reddish brown curls from her face as his eyes surveyed the doorway.
"Tora, you have to wake up. You hear me?" he asked in desperation.
Her eyes opened to him and looked up. Her eyes were so brilliant and bright he almost got lost in them. Their blue color reminded him of the sea at midnight as he stared down at her. He knew this wouldn't be any good. He knew the Elders had to have suspicions about Victoria too if they had them about the innocent.
Wyatt couldn't let anything happen to her. He couldn't. She would get hurt if he did and he had to protect her.
"Don't let them see me this way." as if reading his mind Victoria replied.
Wyatt nodded and kissed the top of her forehead. "I won't." he whispered. It was in vain though because his elbow caught the glass of water on the edge of the table. Before he realized even what he had done the glass had broken in shards all over the floor. The shards shimmered in bright knowing chasms light that blinded him in anger at having to be a klutz at this very moment.
Wyatt shook head drawn and scared. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't just orb her out without his parents knowing. She couldn't go anywhere she was too weak to travel and if she used her powers it might kill her. They were stuck.
He swallowed hard against the fact that they were going to be caught. Then he stood in front of her trying to cover her the best he could from sight, but he knew she would be seen. It was too late to say a spell because right then his mother and father arrived.
"Wyatt, what did you break?" Piper asked. "Please, not the fine china again."
"I just need to be invisible" Victoria whispered to herself.
"Wyatt, are you alright?" Leo asked his drained looking and slightly craze looking son.
"What are you trying to hide?" Piper instantly asked her son looking behind him at the table where there was most certainly something he was trying to conceal from them.
"Nothing." Wyatt instantly responded. He knew he was dead the moment he replied too fast. He saw the instant worry pass over his father's eyes and then he saw his mother's instant paranoia grimly creep into hers as they both glanced behind him on the table.
He knew what they would find too. He knew they would find Victoria. She would be lying there like a sitting duck. She would get hurt if they found out what was wrong with her. His mother hated anything evil and if she found out that Victoria wasn't exactly well because she had some secret dark cravings that were a little on the evil side of the spectrum then she'd blow her up.
Wyatt didn't want to lose her to his mother's ignorant anger towards evil. He didn't know what to do though. He couldn't just orb away with her because his father would follow him. He couldn't tell them the truth because they would either hurt, quarantine, or vanquish Victoria. He couldn't let that happen.
They pushed him aside and he turned instantly defensive as he tried to cover her as best he could to save her as he warned. "I won't let you hurt…"
Wyatt turned to protect her. He turned to thrown his arms around her, but Victoria wasn't there anymore. His parents looked at him like he was insane as his hands came up with thin air and he just gaped at the table.
Victoria was gone. He hadn't heard her shimmer out. He hadn't seen it. His parents hadn't either by the looks they were giving him. How had she done it?
It was like she had just disappeared off the face of the earth.
Victoria sat up quickly on dark wooden table as the world stopped around her. She waited for something. She waited for them to attack her. She waited for them to react to seeing her look so sickly.
She got nothing in return.
Wyatt was still there and he was a few feet back now staring at the table as if it were possessed. He was so confused. His parents were watching him. Piper had went to him and was checking him for a fever because of the way he was acting. He didn't look well. She knew that it was her own fault, but she couldn't help it as she watched them ignore her in surprise.
She waited to be discovered. Leo was staring right at her, but he didn't seem to see her. It was like he was seeing through her. Before she could even speak or move they stopped altogether. It was like all the times Piper had frozen the place to vanquish demons or stop innocents from seeing them vanquish evil.
This time they were all frozen though.
Victoria chalked this one up to either having gone completely nutso crazy or else having some greater power that was out there to hurt her.
"Miss me?" a voice asked from right beside her.
Victoria instinctively jumped off the table before any thought could even enter her mind. She almost fell over her own feet backing up from the voice that had whispered so seductively in her ear. Her skin, where it's breath had washed over it, was still warm and crawling.
What she saw sitting on the table where she had just jumped off made her blood stop. It was the very solid human-like form of her very own ghostly phantom that had been haunting as well as taunting her for the last 24 hours.
The man had semi-long dark black hair that fell down to his shoulders. It curled a little on the edges that he had pressed behind his ears. He had it slicked back fromm his very pale face that looked even more deathly pale because of the long black gown he was wearing. He threw her a chiseled smile. It was the smile of a dark angel as he bent down and bowed to her in greeting.
His dark black eyes came to meet hers as she realized who he was.
It was the ghost of Christmas future. It was none other than the Grim Reaper come to pay her a visit.
