Chapter 19: Fear himself
" So, a job in..." Paige said, stepping into the small office.
" Paradise." I smiled up at her from the computer, " Rome. Well, California for the first part of summer, then Rome for the second part, then New York for...ever."
" So, does that mean you're leaving for good?" Paige asked.
" Doesn't it always?" I asked, " Look...I did what we should have. We stopped Talik, we stopped my parents...what more do you guys need from me?" I asked.
" Sorry." Paige said, walking to my desk, " I just thought you'd want the Charmed destiny to be higher on your priority list." she said sadly, " It meant something to us."
" It means...thigns to me. It's just that I can't lose anyone else. I can't." I said, typing on the computer.
Paige frowned, " What's that mean? What's going on?" she asked.
" Nothing." I said quickly, " What would you tell someone who was blackmailed into leaving everyone they loved?"
" If the people love you, then you can fight whatever comes. Together." Paige said gently.
I nodded and typed on the keyboard, " So, heard from Kyle?" I asked.
" Nope." Paige sighed, " I guess he's staying busy too."
" I need to go and see Wyatt. Can you help me with that?" I asked.
Paige smiled and nodded, " Just think about staying, will ya?" she asked. I nodded and she waved her hand, sending me to Wyatt's dorm room. I looked around and noticed an empty dorm room. I was about to walk when the door knob rattled and opened and Tristan's face came through the door and stopped at the sight of me.
" What're you doing in here?" he asked, looking around, " And how'd you get in here?"
" Where's Wyatt?" I asked.
" He said he went home for the weekend." Tristan said, walking over to me, " What? Come to spread the weirdness?"
" Whatever." I said, walking away.
Tristan grabbed my arma nd spun me around, " You can't just break into our room and not expect me to ask you questions!" he said.
" What's your issue?!" I said, struggling in his grip.
" I could call the cops!" Tristan said.
" But you wouldn't." I said, " Because you're..." I started, but before I could get anymore out, he kissed me. I fought against him and stared, " What are you doing?"
" You're so hot!" he said, movingn closer.
I stared at him, open-mouthed, " I am?" I asked.
" Hell yeah!" he smiled, " Why do you think I always pick on you?"
" Does make...little sense, very little sense." I said, backing away, " So, you like me?"
" I'd like you more if you were under me right now." he said, walking to me.
I thought about it for a moment. He was hot and he did bring up some valid points. I mean he always picked on me more than anyone and the way he treated girls and him just being an ass. But that was it, he was such an ass, to me in particular.
" Are you okay?" he asked.
" I've got to go." I said, turning and running out the door, and I disappeared between the doorway and the hall.
" DRAKE!" Tristan said into the hall of students, " Where'd he go?" he asked himself.
======================================================
Chris, Wyatt, and Melinda walked into the attic, giggling at the commercial they had just seen.
" spongebob No-Pants." Melinda giggled.
As they entered the attic, Melinda noticed that she was the only one. She looked back and saw that she was alone.
=========================================================
Chris, Wyatt and I stood alone in the attic. We all looked at each other, knowing this couldn't be good.
" Are you gonna say it, or do I have to?" I asked.
" We need to vanquish Barbas." Wyatt smiled.
Chris looked at him sideways, " Where's Melinda?" he said, walking to the window, " And the rest of the world."
" Nightmare world." I frowned
" We're ready, right?" Wyatt asked.
" Well, you two have amplified powers because you're Charmed kids. I don't have that." I said slowly, " But the blood's there."
" So, what's the fear?" Chris asked.
" What?" Wyatt asked.
" We're here, right? Where's the thing that scares us?" Chris asked.
" Right here." a voice said from across the room. We all turned to see Wyatt, Dark Wyatt.
" Leather's hot and all, but what's with the makeover from hell?" I asked.
" That's not something I'd wear." Wyatt said angrily.
" You fear tight clothes?" I asked, looking up at him.
He didn't looked at me, " No." he said.
" He fears becoming me." Evil Wyatt said.
Wyatt looked petrified. Chris and I looked at each other, " Enough!" I said, raising my hand to blow him up, but nothing happened.
" No powers?" Evil Wyatt smirked.
" I have mine." Chris gloated.
" Won't help!" Evil Wyatt said, causing a group of demons to surround Chris. They began punching and kicking him and I tried to move to him, but Evil Wyatt swung his hand and slammed me against the wall! I tried to move, but I couldn't. Wyatt tried to run to me, but Evil Wyatt orbed in front of him and punched him, causing him to stagger back, then tackled him.
" Pahras Sumemrs." A voice said beside me, " You're deepest fear is to watch them die and not be able to save them, interesting."
I looked up at him, " Barbas, you bastard! Let me go!" I shouted.
" Ah, ah, ah, watch that potty mouth." he snickered. He bent down to me and smiled, " You got anything else to say? Any last words for anyone?"
" I'm gonna send you to hell!" I shouted angrily.
Chris orbed out and began vanquishing demons, but for every one he vanquished, there'd be many more. I looked around and noticed that it was useless to be afraid of something like this! I mean, we were all being isolated by ourselves and the only way this could be true would be if I was scared to act, " Shackles that shackle me, break the chain and set me free!" I shouted, getting to my feet.
Evil Wyatt looked up at me and smirked, " Look at you, guess I'll have to try harder to kill you." he said.
" Maybe." I said, raising my hand and blowing him backwards, " Wyatt, get up!" I said, running to him.
" I could..." Wyatt panted.
" ...turn evil, even then I'll love you and Chris will love you. As long as we're Charmed, you don't have to worry. We'll be here." I said, looking around. Wyatt nodded and Evil Wyatt threw an energy ball, but it disappeared before the energy ball got me, " Chris!"
" How do we help him?" Wyatt asked.
" Isn't it obvious?" I asked, walking to the gang of demons and walking through them, " Chris, this is insane! We are here. You're not in this by yourself."
" You are too worried about Kyle and Wyatt and your job and Wyatt is off at college worrying about you." Chris said, " Someone has to be the leader."
" You can be the leader, but you're not the only one." I said softly.
The demons disappeared. And everything swirled and soon we were outside the Manor. When we went back to the house, we walked in and as we got to the stairs, we noticed a gust of wind and suddenly the doors burst open and the blue-ish demon blew the door of the hinges!
Barbas appeared beside him and smiled, " You may have faced your fear, but you still have to face fear...himself." he chuckled insanely.
We held hands, " The power of three will set us free, the power of three will set us free, the power of three will set us free!" we chanted.
Barbas spun around and burst into flames! The demon, however, raised his hand and a burst of energy sent Wyatt back against the wall and I pushed Chris out of the way in time to be hit by the energy and sent through the wall and into the Sun Room!
" PAHRAS!" Chris yelled, raising his hand and hitting the blue demon, Shax, with electricity and Shax vanished in a puff of smoke!
Wyatt found his way to his foot and ran over to Chris and I. Chris was already trying to heal me, but he hadn't mastered that technique yet. Wyatt grabbed Chris' hands and they both began to try and heal me...
