Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 12

"Are you absolutely positive? Because you think it's the Dark Knight?" Chris asked me examining the page.

I looked closely, looking at every inch of the man on the page.

"Yeah I'm sure. The guy that attacked me, he had a scar across his cheek. I remember what he actually looks like now." I answered him pointing to the scar on the picture.

"Okay. Thanks..uh..." Chris began.

"Ethan!" The kid shouted.

The Ethan kid dropped the book in Chris's arms and went over to his friend.

"We should tell Wyatt about this. Do you want to?" Chris asked me.

"No. I'm going to go tell Pandora and Caleb." I immediately answered back.

Chris handed me the book and then orbed out of the library. I walked over to the table and stared at the page. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be afraid or not.

The name of the man kept echoing in my ears, taunting me every second I looked at the page. Just one name that has been said for centuries and centuries.

Mordred.

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

Pandora and Caleb were sitting around the table with me. We were all looking at the page in the book on Mordred.

"Mordred? Really?" Pandora sarcastically asked.

"I know it's a bit weird and not very believable but I'm absolutely positive it's him. I remember the scar on his face. The whole Dark Knight thing was a mistake." I explained to them both.

"Okay. So say that it is Mordred, why did he attack you?" Caleb wondered.

"I don't know. But the guy that showed up before him kept calling me his Queen." I remembered back to the night at P3.

There was a chiming sound and then orbs filled the room. Chris and Wyatt appeared.

"Hey." Wyatt quietly waved to me.

I just nodded my head and then turned away.

"So um we think we know why Mordred is here. Wyatt is the reincarnation of King Arthur and Mordred betrayed him and ended up getting killed by Arthur." Chris explained to us all.

"But if he was killed, why is he here?" Pandora asked.

"We don't know. Maybe his timeline has been changed or something has happened to the King Arthur in his time." Wyatt added.

"Yes okay that's great, but the bigger question is why the hell did he attack me?" I raised my concern.

Everyone went silent. Wyatt shifted uncomfortably. Caleb was smirking as Pandora smiled at nothing.

"He might know that you're close to Wyatt?" Caleb said with a little smirk.

"If Mordred wanted to attack someone close to Wyatt why didn't he go after Chris? Or Melinda? Or Piper and Leo?" I asked confused.

Chris huffed frustrated. He closed his hands over his face and then rubbed his eyes.

"I think we all need to take a break from research about Mordred. My brain is going to explode if I try and figure out why he is here." I told everyone.

"Wanna go get something to eat?" Chris asked with his hands in his pockets.

"Yes I'm starving." Pandora answered and stood up.

Pandora took Caleb's hand.

"I know the perfect place to go." She said.

Then she faded away with Caleb. I turned to Chris and Wyatt. I got up off of the table and walked over to the both of them. I stood between them and took one of their hands.

"I can't orb." I said.

Chris began to laugh. Then the orbs surrounded us and I felt really airy and light. The last thing I saw was the picture of Mordred.

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

We ended up in a cafe in the middle of San Fransico. We saw Pandora and Caleb sitting outside the cafe at a table for five. We walked over to them and she was smiling.

I went to go sit down on one of the chairs when Pandora stopped me.

"You can't sit there. I saved that seat for Wyatt." She told me.

I was a little shocked that it mattered who sat where. I went to go sit somewhere else but then Chris had sat next to Caleb. So the only seat left was between Chris and Wyatt. Having no other choice I sat between the two boys.

Awkward.

--------------------------------------------

After we had ordered our food and it was brought to us the conversation had died. I was uncomfortable between my best friend who I'm mad at, and his obnoxious little brother who I can't stand. Many times Wyatt went to say something but then stopped himself.

I just teared off bits of my bagel and quietly ate them with my head down.

"Well I thought this would be more fun." Pandora huffed leaning back in her chair.

The wind began to pick up and lightly blew on my face, wisping my hair about. It was nice as it cooled the heat of the sun off of my face.

"Uh Anna, Jack said he really liked you. Considering what happened." Caleb announced.

Ah crap.

"Oh." I said with bagel in my mouth.

"Jesus Anna you could sound a little more excited. I mean you and Jack could actually start dating. He's really into you." Pandora added.

That just made me uncomfortable. And I knew that it made Wyatt and Chris uncomfortable too as they began to fidget.

"Look he was really nice and all but I don't want to date him or anyone at the moment. I need to focus on my magic and fricking Mordred coming after me." I answered her looking her directly in the eye.

"Well maybe you just need a Knight in Shining armour to help save you if Mordred attacks again." She bit back.

I picked up my napkin and wiped my mouth. I stood up and chucked it on the table.

"Where are you going?" Wyatt called.

"Bathroom." I bluntly said.

I quickly walked into the cafe without another word...
