Chapter 8 - Déjà vu

Chris's POV

It all happened so quickly that Chris didn't really know what happened, just that his and Wyatt's instincts automatically took over when they sensed danger. Well, truth be told, when Wyatt sensed danger and push him down out of the way as an athame stabbed into the space he had occupied a second before. With the shackle on binding he magic including his most basic, and completely harmless, sensing abilities he realised how truly blind he was. He looked up from his position on the floor to see his brother fighting two very fast people dressed in the Camelot Guard uniform. They were moving so fast that that was all he could make out, he couldn't make out any features to tell if he knew them or not.

Stepping forward from dodging his brother's attacks, one of the women moved within striking range of his brother momentarily distracting him allowing the other to pass. Chris got to his feet watching the attacker, a woman judging by her long, dark hair, approach. The way she twisted effortlessly through the air, her hair flying out of her face as she brought the athame up... it was familiar, so familiar. He caught her eyes for a split second and he knew, oh goddess, no wonder he was having an extreme case of déjà vu. Bianca, trying to assassinate him ... again! His mind couldn't help but be amused at the irony of the situation, before he focused his brain on the fight that was about to happen. If it had been any other elite assassin, they might have had a chance of taking out the powerless prince but not Bianca, Chris knew her too well, knew how she moved, how she fought and he counted her every attack. The new faster, stronger body was also helping, he was not just able to counter he attacks but fight back. Not that his blows had much behind them, he loved this woman with all his heart, not that she knew that, and could never harm her, his offensive just helped keep the blade away from him until his brother was free to help restrain her. Out of the corner of his eye he saw his brother finally manage to punch the other woman in the face and while she was in shock get a telekinetic choke hold on her neck. The woman slowly fell to her knees through lack of air before after a minute collapsing unconscious. With a flick of his wrists Wyatt conjured rope that tied themselves around the limbs of the unconscious woman then he turned to Chris.

Wyatt's POV

He turned away from the now restrained and unconscious woman and turned to his brother to see him engaged in a hand to hand combat with his foe. It confused him why his little brother hadn't just blasted the woman away, he knew they were f'ing fast but he seemed to be keeping up with this one. It took him a second before he realised that his brother had no powers. Goddess, how could he be so stupid, as soon as he went into battle mode he had assumed his brother could handle himself. The one person Wyatt had never worried about in a fight was his brother. He was the most powerful witch alive and with the sword he was unstoppable. But not at the moment, at the moment Chris was as powerful as any ordinary mortal but that didn't seem to be stopping him. Wyatt watched the fight unsure of how to interfere. If he tried to throw an energy ball or a blast wave into the fight he was just as likely to hit Chris as he was the assassin judging by the speed the two were moving at. If he tried to grab hold of her with his telekinesis and smash her into a wall he could grab Chris instead. He couldn't freeze them, they were both witches (which he had found out when he tried to freeze them before) in fact, if he did that Chris might freeze being the powerless one, not a good thing. Wyatt noticed that even though his brother got the upper hand in the fight more often that his opponent his blows didn't have much effort in them, it was like he was waiting for something, for some way out of this fight that didn't involve hurting her, even though she was trying to kill him.

The sparing match continued on for another thirty seconds before Chris found the opening he needed, though it happened so quickly that Wyatt wasn't exactly sure what his brother did. It looked like Chris grabbed he wrist and using her momentum to spin her round bending her arm in a way that no arm is ment to be bent, he also noted that the position he had her in seemed to have her paralysed, Chris supporting her weight as she was wrapped up in his arms with less than ten centimetres between the faces. Their eyes met, and what happened next shock Wyatt senseless for a moment. His brother lent in and a second later kissed her on the lips. The woman was shocked for a moment but a second later was kissing him back. Wyatt didn't know what was happening, and neither did the woman, only Chris knew that he a Bianca were soul mated, that it was an instinctual pull making her kiss him back.

Finally Wyatt came out of his shock just as the kiss was about to deepen. With both people in front of him distracted, he grabbed on the woman with his telekinesis and pulled her from Chris's grasp and sent her flying into the wall. The woman slid down the wall and onto her back, Wyatt wasn't sure if it was from the impact or his brother's kiss but the woman was clearly dazed. This didn't stop his from wasting any time conjuring magical roped and tying them round her hands and feet.

He heard footsteps approaching and both he and Chris took up fight stances again as the people approached around the corner coming into view, only to see it was Laura and the rest of the Guards from their post at the door to the royal wing, they must have heard the thump the woman made as she hit the wall. It only them occurred to them how silently they had been fighting. They looked around taking in the scene, Anthony and Kieran coming to stand beside Chris as a protection Guard and Marcus beside Wyatt. Anthony and Kieran's devotion to Chris's protection made him smile a little on the inside, he knew it was going to be unlikely for Chris to shake the two from his side for the next week, it was going to irritate him to no end. James and Rose both went to look at the two prisoners on the floor both giving a nod to Laura when they were satisfied that they would not be able to get out of the restraints, the second woman had woken up now but both remain silent on the floor. Laura, after getting the status of the captives, closed her eyes in deep concentration sending a long distance telepathic message to the captain of the guard and second later more footsteps could be heard approaching as more guard squads ran to their location. Once she had finished sending the relevant messages she turned to Chris. Now that he knew he was no longer in danger his brother had gone back into a slight state of shock. Laura grabbed his arms checking them for injuries why asking him if he was ok. It was only when she reached for his cheek to see if there was any injuries there that he fully became aware of what was going on around him.

"I'm fine," he assured her, "not even a scratch."

She looked at him a little sceptically, to which Chris took just a little offence at. He huffed slightly, "I'm not completely helpless without my powers you know."

By this time twenty more guards had entered the hall way surrounding the two brothers, the clanking of their armour distracted Chris from his glaring match with Laura. He looked around taking in everybody and Wyatt could swear he saw his brother cheeks flush a little red at the way everyone was staring at him. Four of the guards had picked the two women up under their arms and had them balance precariously on their bound feet waiting for further instructions. Wyatt sighed, he guessed he was in charge at the moment, Chris was in no state to be. "Take them to the throne room." He ordered. Half of the guards, including the four who held the women bowed deeply to Chris and himself in turn before turning and marching towards the throne room dragging the two women with them. Sending off a telekinetic message to his family to meet them in the throne room asap, he took his brother by the shoulder and lead him after the guards, the rest of the remaining guards followed behind, except for Ant and Kieran who never left Chris's side as he knew they wouldn't.

End of Chapter 8

Yay some real action. Sorry it took me so long to write, but I've been pretty busy and I didn't know how to exactly start this chapter. So what will happen with Bianca? I have no idea, I'm making it up as I go, but I have a feeling that nobody is going to be to keen on the woman who tried to kill Chris. Well thank you once again for reading and reviewing. Until next time.
