I gripped the counter top as the edges of my vision began to get blurry and I felt like I was floating. How the hell did Bianca get here? Wyatt was good now; we stopped him from going bad didn't we? I couldn't think properly, my brain feeling like it was getting processed in a food blender. Bianca began tugging on my arm and I could do nothing to stop her as I was pulled from the kitchen through to the living room, not even fathoming enough energy to use my powers.
I was pushed onto the sofa – glad at least that it was a soft landing – and stared up at Bianca, feeling so incredibly angry at that moment that I actually let my enemy get one over on me.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I snarled out, getting a better grip on my bearings than before. The black spots had vanished and my head felt clearer.
"Don't give me that attitude Jade, regardless of my orders I will hurt you" Bianca spat out, glaring daggers but I didn't even flinch – she didn't scare me anymore. Bianca rolled her eyes in aggravation and pointed upstairs.
"Now I know Piper is upstairs so I don't want you to make a noise or warn her in anyway, do I make myself clear Granley?" She asked, pointing a knife at me. I didn't answer straight away, my brain already trying to think up a plan.
"I said do I make myself clear? We wouldn't want anything to happen to poor little baby Chrissy or, god forbid, the child your carrying" Bianca said evilly, smirking slightly when I frowned.
Of course I couldn't let anything happen to the baby or Chris and Piper. I had no choice but to be forced to agree with her.
"Crystal" I replied tartly and Bianca nodded in acceptance.
"Good, I'm glad were on the same terms Jade or else things might've gotten tricky" She said, sitting down on the couch opposite and crossing her legs casually.
"Don't worry about the spell I cast, it's just a simple dizzy spell I created, it's not harmful I assure you. Wyatt found it very helpful on occasions" Bianca said, no doubt trying to get a rise out of me but I forced myself to stay calm.
"Are you going to answer my question or do I have to guess and hope I get it right?" I asked sarcastically and Bianca's face morphed into annoyance.
"Why do you think I'm here Jade, use your common sense. Wyatt wasn't going to put all his trust into Dagon – he needed someone smart, someone who's ruthless, someone fierce. I guess I ticked all those boxes" She answered, still holding the knife threateningly in her hand.
"How long have you been here?" I asked curiously. She couldn't have arrived just now – it would be impossible. We changed the future and everyone in it; it just didn't make any sense.
"I'm not sure, when we arrived I wasn't aware of how draining it would be to travel to the past and that bastard Dagon just left me unconscious in the alley way. I can't wait to get my own back on him" She said, already looking like she was plotting revenge.
I rolled my eyes at her antics – she will always be the same.
"Well I'm afraid your out of time, Wyatt is good now Bianca and there's nothing you can do to change that" I said, almost immediately regretting it when she stood up angrily, her mouth a very thin line.
"Just shut your mouth Granley, it's impossible" She stated fiercely, twirling the sharp blade between her fingers and I had to remind myself that now was not the time to be reckless. I had to think about the baby now and not just run headfirst into danger.
I thought about calling Chris again and pray that he would hear me but knowing it was futile. He was in the underworld – even if I was screaming at him to get his ass up hear there would be no point, I would only end up screaming myself hoarse.
"Okay, look, if you stay here – in the past – then you're going to die, so you may as well just leave before the sisters come back" I threatened, hoping to put the fear of god into her. Panic flashed in Bianca's eyes before she smoothed out her expression.
"I'm not afraid of them, Wyatt taught me a few tricks and I plan to put them to use" She growled, spinning the knife around in her fingers.
"You bitch" I exclaimed, finding it hard to keep my anger under control. "What exactly is your goal here? You can't kill the sisters without screwing up the timeline which I know Wyatt doesn't want, so what could you possibly gain by holding me hostage here?" I asked angrily, feeling my cheeks heat up with anger.
"Well for starters – see how Chris likes it when people hurt the ones he loves. He killed my family, him and those other resistance members. I want to get my own back and Lord Wyatt has allowed me. I couldn't possibly pass up that opportunity now, could I" She said and I strained my memory to figure out what the hell she was talking about.
I vaguely remembered a mission Chris was on and how he had to kill a group of assassin witches that Wyatt sent out to kill some innocent children, but surely they couldn't have been Bianca's family, right? Our luck couldn't be that bad?
"You mean those female witches sent out to kill those children that Wyatt classified as 'dangerous' because of their powers?" I asked in shock and Bianca nodded sadly. I never thought I would even feel remotely sorry for her but I did… just a little bit. It was hard losing your family, regardless of how bad they were, and I knew how Bianca felt. I lost mine.
But on the other hand I felt anger. Didn't her family get what they deserved? They were going to kill innocent children for crying out loud, Chris was just doing what he had too.
I remained silent, the internal debate still raging inside my head .Bianca scoffed angrily and walked over to me, her fists clenching angrily.
"What Jade, not going to say anything? You're boyfriend killed my family, my mother, my sisters and you won't say anything" She spat out. I glanced down at the knife in her hand cautiously, knowing that if she got angry enough she would use it.
"He had too" I said and stood up slowly, still holding eye contact with her to try and keep her calm.
"We've all lost people Bianca but killing people, helping Wyatt – it doesn't do any good" I said sympathetically, hoping to distract her somehow. I hated her guts, I really did, but I didn't know if I could kill her – something inside me just said it was wrong. I was hoping I could distract her long enough to escape, get to Piper and somehow contact Chris or Leo - the more I thought about it the less it seemed possible.
"It helps me Granley" Bianca screamed, raising the knife in her hand.
Just then the familiar sight of orbs landed in the middle of the living room and there materialised Chris, looking a bit beat up but fine. I breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of him but that soon vanished when Bianca grabbed a hold of me, throwing me on front of her and holding me tight around the neck.
"Hello Christopher" She snarled and I watched as Chris' eyes went wide, worry written all over his face.
