Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 18

Chris had to clean up the glass and flowers he accidentally smashed. I was in the kitchen with Wyatt, making him some coffee.

I placed it on the table and he took a sip.

"Thank you." He said quietly.

I carefully sat down next to him.

"So do you have any idea why the elders would randomly orb him somewhere?" I asked not looking at him.

"Depends." He said.

"Depends on what?" I asked now having the courage to look at him.

"If he was doing something he wasn't supposed to." Wyatt answered, looking at me.

Was he not supposed to kiss me....?

I went to say something, but closed my mouth because I couldn't find anything to say.

Chris came in the kitchen then. He put the glass shards in the bin and came over by me and Wyatt.

The silence was deafening. The tension hung in the air and I could cut it with a knife.

"I'm gonna go in the shower." Wyatt announced.

He left his coffee on the table and walked out of the kitchen without looking at either me or Chris.

Once he left I slammed my head on the table. I let out a giant huff of frustration.

"He'll come around. Maybe." Chris said and pulled me up off of the table.

I leaned against the table and closed my eyes. I closed my hands in his and let my forehead drop on his chest. I listened to him breathing and it calmed me down.

"He hates me. He hates you." I moaned pulling my head up and opening my eyes.

"Look it'll be fine. Everyone is going to have to accept this one way or the other. He's just pissed because I have the one thing that he doesn't." He grinned.

He leaned down to kiss me. But before I got even close to his mouth he disappeared into thin air. When I realised he was gone, I put my hands on my hips.

"Seriously?!" I shouted upwards to the elders.

I then dropped my hands down by my legs and dragged myself out of the kitchen.

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

The day was fading away and wherever these elders had taken Chris earlier he still hadn't come back.

Jesus, where did they send him timbucktu?

Wyatt had barely spoken to me all day and I had nothing to do. I loitered around the house, read a book and watched pointless TV.

It was around 8 o' clock when I heard something fall in the kitchen. I ran to the sound suddenly.

When I got to the kitchen, Chris was on the floor. I ran over to him and helped him up.

"Where the hell have you been?!" I shouted to him.

"Everywhere! Literally, everywhere. One minute I'm here, the next I'm in Japan! Then every time I tried to orb back I ended up somewhere else in the world!" He exclaimed.

Wow....

"Well we need to find out why they are doing this. They can't keep orbing you all over the world for no reason." I said determined.

"Yeah I know." He said quietly. "Look I'm really tired, I think I'm going to go in the shower and then to bed. I'll see you in the morning."

I let him leave the kitchen without another word.

This is ridiculous. I'm finally starting to like him and now these elders want to jot him all around the bloody planet.

Now, with nothing to do again I dragged my feet upstairs.

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

I made my way to the attic and found Wyatt in there, looking through the Book Of Shadows with a pen in his mouth. I slowly walked to towards him, knocking the attic door to let him know I was there.

He gave me one look and then went back to the book.

Oh no, not again...

The voice in my head echoed. It was Wyatt. Did he just moan through his thoughts?

I wish he would just let me talk to him...

Suddenly Wyatt's head snapped up. He looked at me with sudden eyes.

Why is he staring at me..? Wow wait is there a de-....

"No there's no demon." Wyatt said.

I heard those words loud and clear from his mouth.

Did he just read my mind...?

"Yes I did. I think I can hear your thoughts.." He said walking closer to me.

Can you read my thoughts?.....

Wyatt's voice spoke through my brain.

"Wyatt what the hell is going on?" I asked a little spooked.

He was within reaching distance now.

"I don't know. Somehow, we can hear each others thoughts? This is....amazing." He said flustered with happiness.

"Amazing? How is this amazing? I don't want you picking around in my brain." I protested.

He started to laugh at my protest.

"Anna, for some reason we have been given a gift that could help protect us both from Mordred and future demons!" Wyatt exclaimed excitedly.

"But why? Why us? And why this particular gift or whatever it is?" I asked.

"I'm not sure, but usually the elders give us these gifts for reasons that will help us. I promise." Wyatt explained.

I huffed. Elders . There was one thing I knew I needed to do.

I needed to find the elders...
