Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 10

"Hey guys! I found out who one of the guys that attacked me was!" I called as I ran down the stairs.

When I got to the bottom only Chris, Wyatt, Pandora, Caleb and Jack were up.Everyone else had gone. They all looked at me with relief when they heard what I said.

"Who is it?" Caleb asked stepping forward.

"Where is everybody?" I wondered looking around.

"We took them home. Melinda is upstairs asleep." Wyatt answered.

They were all looking at me to answer what Caleb had asked.

"Oh sorry. The guy in the black cloak, the one that appeared out of nowhere is a demon called the Dark Knight." I told everyone and their faces dropped.

"Impossible." Chris snickered.

"What?" I snapped back in a irritated tone.

"It couldn't have been the Dark Knight. I know this because my mother killed him about 22 years ago. I was there." Chris explained getting up out of his chair.

Wow..wait.

"Wait, how the hell could you have be-"

"I went back to the past to save Wyatt from turning evil." Chris interrupted me.

I stood there in complete shock. Wyatt lowered his head, like he was ashamed.

"None of you told me that." I said to everyone.

"It's not a matter that we tell people who just move into our house." Chris sneered, his face hard.

I looked at Wyatt but his head was still lowered. He and I were definitely going to talk.

"So, I'm telling you it's not the Dark Knight." Chris said.

"Well it sure as hell looked like him." I argued back.

Chris stared into me, accepting my challenge.

"It might have looked like him but I'm absolutely positive that it wasn't the Dark Knight, because he is dead." He said in a low tone.

He approached me as he said it but Wyatt put his arm out before he could get any closer.

"Chris stop." Wyatt began in a quiet voice. "We might have to consider that he might be reincarnated. To finish me off and to get exhalibre."

"Wait what?! Exhalibre?! You have the damn exhalibre?!" I shouted completely in shock.

They all shushed me so I didn't wake anyone upstairs.

"Yes. And it's mine. I'm the new..King Arthur." Wyatt sadly told me.

Everything was spinning my head. I didn't know if I was over reacting but this was a complete bombshell to me.

"And you didn't even thought to mention that when we became friends?!" I shouted in a whisper to him.

"I didn't know what to tell you. It's not like I could've said Hi Anna, just to let you know that I'm the reincarnated King Arthur and I have the exhalibre. It's not that big of a deal anyway." Wyatt whispered back.

"Not a big deal?! I could've handled it if you had told me a month ago! But now I've got people trying to take me back to God knows when and one of them looks like the Dark Knight who apparently died 22 years ago, when you became bloody King Arthur!" I argued back to him.

I didn't need this right now. I was getting really worked up. I didn't know if it was because I had been drinking or if it was lack of sleep but I was getting light headed. Not wanting to discuss any of this tonight I charged upstairs. Wyatt went to follow me but I warned him not to.

I stormed up the stairs and went to straight to my room. Once I slammed the door I collapsed on my bed and tried to let the stress of tonight drift away..

************************************************

The minute I woke up Wyatt was trying to talk to me. He followed me to the bathroom, he waited outside of my bedroom while I was getting dressed and even followed me down the stairs. Chris was already up and was drinking a cup of coffee in the kitchen.

I ignored them both and made myself some cereal. As I walked back to the table, I slid passed Wyatt as he tried to reach me. I sat down and began eating.

"Anna please talk to me. I'm sorry. I should've told you." Wyatt said standing next to me.

I huffed loudly and took a spoonful of my cereal. I heard him sigh in defeat and then he left the kitchen. I glanced his way as he left but I then returned to my cereal.

I heard footsteps behind me. I didn't bother to look to see who's they were. Shortly after, Chris sat down on one of the chairs at the table.

I didn't look up. I kept on eating.

"I'm going to Magic School today." He told me in a surprisingly nice tone.

"You want a medal?" I said with a mouthful of cereal.

"Well I was going to ask if you wanted to come and search for the guy you claim to be the Dark Knight. But if you're on your period or something I suggest not coming." He said and stood up.

He went to leave the kitchen when I processed his words.

"No no no I want to come!" I called to him and quickly got up.

As I went to chase him I tripped over my own feet and lurched forward. I grabbed on to the counter for support. Immediately Chris's arm wrapped around my waist and caught me in mid air.

He then lifted me up and I stood on my own two left feet. I dusted myself off trying to act normal. Then when I lifted my head up, his thumb reached up to my face. He then wiped away a drop of milk from the corner of my mouth.

I didn't know how to respond. I just kept staring at him. He seemed surprisingly refreshed and his eyes seemed gentle. I mean it was just last night he was tearing into me for my discovery and now he's catching me mid air and wiping milk from my face.

"W-we should get going." I stuttered a bit dazed.

"Yeah." He breathed.

He then turned around and walked out of the kitchen. I slapped myself for being so clumsy and for thinking that his eyes could be gentle. I then followed him out of the kitchen so we could both go to Magic School...
