Charmed: Black H

Chapter 1. Chris. Names.

I stand in the living room of the maner, this night has been crazy and intense, we all need a rest but first we need to find out if dad had been there in that fire, vanquishing that demon for us.

Wyatt is sitting on the couch, staring at the floor, I'm not sure if he's concerned about the demons or about Kate, she had left a note explaining Wyatt she had left the city, which is better for both of them. Kate has been the best girl Wyatt has dated, the other ones were just bitches trying to take advantage on him.

We wait dad to come from the bathroom, he had to go right in the middle of the madness, leaving us here intrigued.

"Well, guys, what happened in that house?" mom says entering the room, standing next to me.

"Where is Dad?" I ask directly, we can't waste any more time, he is probably making up some story to cover himself.

"In the bathroom" I stare at her but she ignores my eyes.

"We can't keep just on waiting, we need to know if he is the black hoodie"

"You can start telling me what happened!" Mom starts yelling, she is frustrated now, and I am too, how can dad go to the bathroom and spend all that time in there, doesn't he realizes there's something more important going on here?

"My friend Andrew was a demon, he started that fire and made sure we stayed in there, so that he could kill us" I start "He could only be vanquished with three potions, being thrown at the same time, and somebody had those potions and vanquished him" I stare at her. She is probably thinking the same thing I thought first 'when we think we have no worries, something happens' we can't have normal lifes.

"And I saw that coat, staring at us, watching how Andrew was going to kill us, but suddenly he left" Wyatt adds "And then we saw Cole, Belthazor, in the forest, the man in the Coat vanquished him, he was definitely angry" mom looks surprised now, probably because of Cole.

"So, he was alive?" She asks, staring at me.

"I heard something about him coming to this reality" I answer.

"And about a girl helping them" Wyatt continues "Then the man catched us and started following us, so we ran and found the black hoodie in the ground, he woke up and ran away"

"Then we left too, hoping the man was gone"

"Wow. I thought going to that party was the best for you, to get distracted" mom claims, putting her hand on my shoulder "I guess I was wrong by making you forget about magic for the week. They saw the chance and took it"

Dad orbs in the middle of the room, he looks at everybody, what the hell?

"Where were you?" I ask.

"With the elders" mom asks.

"I needed information" he says "They know some things"

"And you know too! He coukd have killed you, how could you go there risking your life? You were.."

"With me!" Mom interrupts "He was with me the whole time, Chris"

"Are you sure?" I stare at her. She nods.

"The elders say they were suspecting Cole was alive since some time again" he continues "And they say somebody has seen the coat too, they gave him a name, so they orbed me here to tell you"

"A name? This isn't a game!" Wyatt yells, staring at dad.

"The best they can do is give him a name? They don't have suspects? Or something usefull?"

"They did ir because of a reason!" Dad claims.

"What is it? Hello Kity? The Underworld Demon? Or maybe scooby doo?" Wyatt asks sarcasticaly "Oh no, Maybe.."

"Death Coat!" Dad interrupts.

Wyatt and me stare at eachother, why did they name him something that creepy?

"Death Coat? Why death?" I ask.

"He's killed a lot of white lighters, witches and everyone just to find out more information about you" dad answers, staring at the floor, concerned "He is capable of anything, and he'll do anything to get you killed guys" he is really worried, according to his expression. Dad has always been the light of the family, the one that always says things like 'don't worry, it will be okay', but this time, it all seems dark and long.

I look at mom, she has the same expression Wyatt has, scared, worried.

"So, the person who's helping you guys.."

"Is putting their life in danger!" I interrupt "We have to stop them! Before they get killed too" I look at Wyatt "Wyatt, when that person coughed, did you recognize the voice?"

"I don't think so.." He answers, staring at the floor.

"Well, I think I sort of did but I'm not sure" I add "I think it was a man, but after I saw him running, it was the shape of a woman"

"Chris, you need rest, you can start your search later" mom claims, putting both her hands in my shoulders, expecting me to go to sleep.

"What if they attack in the middle of the night? I demand. Has mom learned in her life? Demons always wait till you are relaxed, they wait for you to turn so they can stab you.

"They won't! They have to make a plan" she answers "Come on"

"No, they have a girl ready to destroy us! They said it! Not just us, Black H too!" I turn and stare at mom. Wyatt stands up and walks right to the stairs.

"Wyatt" I call him, but he doesn't turn back "Great! Dream with Kate or whatever the hell you dream about!" he stops going up and starts breathing on a heavy way, staring at the stairs, I pissed him off, maybe I shouldn't have said that, but my nerves are consuming me and I need to work this out, wether I'm alone or I have Wyatt by my side.

"Shut the fuck up!" he yells "I will work by myself now!" he continues his way, and once he's up he shuts the door, leaving a complete and weird silence. I look at dad, his mouth doesn't have the smile that defines him, he is scared about everything that is going on, but, who isn't? after all this years of peace.

"Black H?" dad asks. The elders put a name to the villian, why not putting a name to the helper?

"Black Hood" I answer.

"You need sleep to, Chris. And go apologize to your brother" mom claims "We all need to sleep, it's been a hard night for everybody" she leads dad upstairs. It was a hard night for them too? What did they do? What if mom is covering dad? Maybe she was in the fire too and helped dad, and saved us. But they would never tell us, they'd prefer risking their lifes, they prefer to help us being anonymous than letting us work on our own, when will they learn?
