Charmed: The Brothers Path

Chapter 19. Wyatt. And your enemies closer.

The light of the fire illuminate my eyes and the rain stops, everybody just stares at the windows, fear filling their bodies. A girl next to the table starts screaming, then the rest of the girls.

Suddenly, something hits the front door and it opens, the fire hasn't gotten there, the only exit right now.

"Everybody! This door is clear" Chris yells, waving at the people, indicating them to get out. We move aside, letting girls go first and fast before the fire gets to the door, the house is big enough so it takes a while.

All the girls are outside now, some of them hug eachother, some of them just stare at the house waiting for men to go out. We let the others go first, Daniel goes out, then the rest of them, then I let Chris go first but as soon as he is about to go through the door the fire gets in the middle of the way, stopping us from going out.

"Wyatt!" Daniel is calling my name, waving at us, scared, looking everywhere for a way of helping us.

"We'll find our way out!" Chris answers, turning back and walking to the back door, I follow him, the fire doesn't even let us see the garden.

"Maybe there's a way out upstairs" I suggest, staring at the stairs, checking if it is safe to go up but we have no choice, and the fire hasn't gotten into the house.

"You realize somebody wants us in here, right?" he asks. What does he mean? Somebody is trying to kill us?

"You mean... Cole?"

"Whoever it is"

"Nobody gets to see us now, we can orb" I suggest, noticing the fire getting in by the windows, it's getting really hot and the smoke is making us visibility.

"Are you sure?" he asks, looking at the windows, the fire is closer every second we spend here.

"I can" a voice says behind me. I turn and see somebody coming from the kitchen, a male, he has flames all over his body and bruises on his face, but they don't seem like harming him. I catch somebody else watching from the kitchen, is that a coat? Is the man of the coat watching how we're gonna die?

"Who are you?" Chris asks, staring at him.

"You know me Chris" he wears a black leather jacket and black jeans, with chains raising from his pockets.

"Andrew?" Chris's friend? A demon? What is going on?

"I brang you here so that you could die" he is getting closer to us "And you have nothing to destroy me"

"I knew it was weird that you weren't here, you practically made me come, I see why" the fire is getting closer every time, making us go closer to Andrew.

"This is my demon form, do you like it?" he stops walking and stare at us "I wish I didn't have the scars, but they're part of why I became a demon"

"You caused this fire huh, and you also stopped the storm?" Chris asks, looking everywhere for a way of getting out, if we orb he will follow us and there's no place safe to orb but home, where our parents would be in danger.

"Oh no, that is not my fault, it was just luck but anyway, my fire can't be extinguished by water" he puts his hands up, pointing his palms to us "Ready? It will be fast" flames raise from his heands and go abruptly to us, we move to our sides avoiding the flames, we have no place to run, the fire is surrounding us by now.

"You have no choice, you will die here" he yells, shooting more flames at us, we move avoiding them. Chris puts his hands up trying to blow the demon, but it just makes him flinch.

"You need potions, give up now" he shoots more flames and I throw myself at the floor "You have no escape" Chris stares at me, I expect him to have a solution but the look on his face lets me know he doesn't.

"I read about him on the book, Wyatt. We need to throw him three potions at the same time" he says, pointing to Andrew. This can't be it.

Through the fire, I catch the black coat again, leaving that room, going somewhere else, he must be enojoying this moment.

I stand up and put my hands up freezing the demon, giving us time to figure something out.

"If we orb now, he won't have time to follow us" I suggest Chris, he nods but suddenly the demon gets his movements back, shooting more flames at us making us move. He shoots the floor making us fall, we stare at him, this is it, the end.

Suddenly, three potions hit the demon, making him agonize of pain, making him scream. His body starts to burn brighter, but this time the fire is harming him. I catch a black hood in the kitchen, watching the demon die, their face covered by the dark. The demon becomes one big fireball, getting bigger every second.

"Wyatt, I think it's going to explode the whole house" Chris says, standing up. I catch the hood again, this time leaving the kitchen, going to the direction the coat went.

"We need to get out" he grabs my arm, orbing us, but as soon as we leave the ground the ball explodes, orbing us through the air right to the back of the house, in the forest, landing in the top of a tree.
