Chapter 12 : What's to come?

Inside P3 the music is playing loud and the dance floor is crowded.
Walking down the stairs Nick looks to see if he can see Wyatt.  There is a
chance that Wyatt would be in his own club but Nick wanted to at least make
sure.  Reaching the last step he sees Henry Jr., he figured that he would
probably know if Wyatt was here or not.

"Hey you're Wyatt's cousin right?" Nick asks walking up to Henry Jr. who
was sitting at the bar.

Henry was drinking his coke.  He wasn't old enough to drink but old enough
to get into P3, even though his aunt did own it.  He turned to look at
where the voice came from and the guy seemed familiar.  Yeah he was hot but
other than that Henry Jr. really didn't recognize Nick.

"Yeah, who's asking?" Nick asks not sure if he should be saying who he is.

Nick feeling the uneasiness from Henry Jr. says "Hey it's alright if you
don't remember me, I'm Wyatt's friend, we met at the college."

Henry Jr. thinks and sort of remembers talking to some guy when he went to
tour the college that his cousin was attending.  "I think so but who are
you again?" Henry Jr. asks still not sure what to make of this guy who's
asking about Wyatt.

"I'm Nick." Nick says extending his hand for Henry Jr. to shake.

"Henry." Henry Jr. says taking Nicks' hand into his.

Shaking Henrys' hand, Nick feels there is something but pulls away quickly
not wanting to make Henry feel more unease.

"So why are you looking for my cousin?" Henry Jr. asks eying Nick with a
little suspicion.  He was starting to remember meeting Nick and he
remembered that Nick was looking for Wyatt that time too.

"I know that his family owns this club and was wondering if he was here is
all." Nick lies as he looks around the club to see if he can spot Wyatt.

"He's not here tonight; he's out with his friend." Henry Jr. says looking
at Nick who's looking around the club.

Nick catches the last word Henry says and turns to look at him.  "I'm
sorry, his friend?" Nick asks knowing who Henry might mean.

"Yeah I don't really know him but there out doing something." Henry
Jr. says before taking a drink of his coke.

"Well this was a waste of time or is it?" Nick thinks to himself.  "Maybe I
can find out something about Wyatt from his cousin."

"Maybe you can catch him tomorrow night." Henry Jr. says looking from Nick
to the dance floor.

"Probably." Nick says looking at the dance floor like Henry Jr..

"So why are you looking for him anyway?" Henry Jr. asks looking back at
Nick.

"I wanted to ask him about class stuff." Nick says knowing even he wouldn't
believe it if he was told the same thing.

"Really class stuff here in a night club?" Henry Jr. asks knowing he caught
Nick in a lie.

Nick nods' knowing Henry Jr. saw through his lie and says "Okay not class
stuff but I just wanted to see him."

"So you have a crush on him or something?" Henry Jr. asks not sure why he
asked.

"You could say that." Nick says knowing his true reasons.

"Well knowing my cousin, he made quite an impression on you then." Henry
Jr. says raising an eyebrow looking at Nick.

"More than you know." Nick answers back taking the seat next to Henry Jr..

"So how did you meet Wyatt?" Henry Jr. asks then takes a drink from his
coke.

"Well we have psych class together."  Nick says turning to look at the
bartender and pointing to Henrys' class to order the same drink.

"So that's your angle then, using psych class to get closer to Wyatt."
Henry Jr. says looking at Nick.

"Wow okay so you don't beat around the bush do you?" Nick asks with half
smile.

"It just wastes time." Henry Jr. says looking around the club.

"Would you be upset if I said that I was trying to get close to Wyatt?"
Nick asks looking at Henry Jr. but feeling a little weird that he feels
like he's asking for permission.

"No but why would I he's my cousin who can do whatever he wants with his
life." Henry Jr. says feeling a little off after giving his answer.

"I guess we'll see what happens then." Nick says after taking a drink of
his coke.

"I guess we will." Henry Jr. says not sure why he feels a little upset with
what Nick said.

"So what about you?  What's your story?" Nick asks but not sure why he did.

"Well I had nothing else to do so I came here." Henry Jr. says looking at
the dance floor again.

"You keep looking at the dance floor, are you looking for someone?" Nick
asks following Henrys' direction.

"No, well maybe.  If they're hot enough." Henry Jr. says turning from
looking at the dance floor to Nick.

"What do you mean they're?" Nick asks curiously.

"Well if the girl is hot or if the guy is hot." Henry Jr. says without
giving it a thought.

Not sure why Nick feels a little relieved by the last part of what Henry
Jr. said but says "Apparently they aren't hot enough for you."

"Well there are some but I'm talking with you so they probably don't want
to approach me." Henry Jr. says but then feels a little regret at his
words.

"Okay well then I guess I better leave you to it then." Nick says feeling a
little hurt by what Henry Jr. said.

"Hey I'm sorry I didn't mean for the way it sounded." Henry Jr. says giving
Nick a regretful look.

"It's alright I should get going anyway." Nick says even though he wants to
stay and talk more with Henry Jr. for some reason.

"Are you sure?" Henry Jr. asks still feeling bad about what he said and how
he sounded.

"Yeah maybe I'll catch you here again sometime." Nick says getting up from
the bar stool.

"Well if you do, I'll get you a drink on the house." Henry Jr. says as a
way to apologize to Nick.

"I'll look forward to it then.  See ya Henry." Nick says moving his hand to
shake with Henrys'.

"I'm sure I'll be here." Henry Jr. says taking Nicks' hand into his to
shake.

Nick shakes Henrys' hand and begins to feel that feeling he felt the first
time.  But the tingling feeling started to travel down to his ass.  Nick
quickly pulls his hand away and walks off.  Henry Jr. just turns and looks
at the dance floor when a guy starts to walk up to him.



The next morning the doorbell at the manor begins to ring.  Chris and Faith
are walking downstairs carefully as Faith is almost six months pregnant.
Chris is holding Faiths' hand and has his other hand behind Faiths' back.

"Hold on we're coming." Chris says as they get close to the last step.

The doorbell stops ringing but a few seconds later the doorbell rings
again.

"Geez they can't wait whoever it is." Faith says getting a little annoyed
with the ringing.

"I'll go get it.  Are you okay to take the last few steps?" Chris asks
still standing next to Faith.

"Yeah I'll be fine just get the door before the person on the other side
won't be." Faith says getting angry and moving from annoyed.

"Coming." Chris says walking fast to the door.

The doorbell stops ringing just before Chris opens the door.

"About time." Chris hears opening the door and swinging it open.

"Who are you?" Chris asks looking at what seems to be a boy or could be a
teenager.

"I'm looking for Wyatt." The teen says walking into the house as if he's
been invited in already.

"Please come in." Chris says sarcastically once the teen passes him.

"I'm sorry for being rude but I was told to come and look for Wyatt." The
teen says stopping in the foyer.

"He's not here right now but I'm sure he'll be here in a little bit." Chris
says walking to Faith after he closes the door.

"I know he'll be here in a little bit." The teen says turning to see Faith
at the stairs and walks to her.

"Hey what are you doing?" Faith asks moving to put her hands in front of
her stomach to protect the baby.

"Don't worry.  Hey how are you doing in there?" The teen asks as he moves
his hand to rub Faiths' baby belly.

"Hey." Chris almost shouts but sees that the baby's shield didn't go up.

Faith puts her hands on her baby belly as she feels kicking.  "Hmm, I think
the baby likes you.'

The teen looks up to Faith and smiles as he too feels the kicking.  A few
seconds later Wyatt orbs into the living room.

"Hey Chris." Wyatt says as he sees Chris standing there looking at
something.

Chris turns to see Wyatt and says "Wy there is someone here to see you."
Chris turns to look at Faith and the teenager which Wyatt can't see with
the wall in the way.

Wyatt walks to stand next to Chris and sees his charge with his hand on
Faiths' baby belly.

"Darren what are you doing?" Wyatt asks curiously and also noticing the
baby's shield didn't go up.

"Hey Wyatt, I'm just getting to know your future nephew or niece." Darren
says then smiles at Wyatt.

"That's great and all but I don't think Faith wants you to rub her stomach
a lot." Wyatt says walking up to Darren.

"Actually the baby is kicking up a storm so it must like him." Faith says
looking at Wyatt with a smile and shrug.

"Still though I don't want Darren to over step his bounds." Wyatt says
putting his hand on Darren's shoulder.

"I know and I'm sorry.  It's just so cool to know that there is a living
human being in there." Darren says as he gives Faiths' baby belly one last
rub and then removes his hand.

Chris walks up to Faith and rubs her stomach where Darren had but the
kicking stopped when Darren removed his hand.

Faith puts her hand on Chris' and says "I'm hungry; you make us something
to eat."

Chris looks up at Faith and sees that she is sort of glowing.  Chris smiles
and says "Yeah I'll make you guys something to eat."

Chris helps Faith down the last steps and they walk to the kitchen.

"Wait" Darren says to Faith and Chris as he walks up to them.  "Everything
will be alright." Darren says and hugs Faith.

Faith feeling taken back by Darren's gesture but also feels the need to hug
him back.  They embrace for a few seconds before they pull apart.  Faith
and Chris turn back and head for the kitchen again.

"I thought I told..." Wyatt begins to say to Darren but is cut off.

"I know to come over or call you when I needed you but I was bored at
home." Darren says giving Wyatt his best puppy dog eyes.

"Well at least you'll be safe here with me and my family." Wyatt says as he
messes Darren's hair and gives him a smile.

"Hey watch the hair." Darren says fixing his almost shaggy brown hair as
Wyatt moves his hand away.

"Come on let's get you something to eat.  Wait are you hungry?" Wyatt asks
as he begins to walk to the kitchen.

"Yeah I could eat something and I want to see if I can get the baby to kick
again." Darren says walking up next to Wyatt.

"Hey remember what I said about boundaries." Wyatt says putting his arm
around Darren's shoulder.

"Yeah yeah I know don't over step them." Darren says almost in a monotone
voice mimicking Wyatt.

Wyatt rolls his eyes and says "Come on."  Wyatt leads them into the kitchen
to see Faith sitting at the table while Chris is at the stove getting ready
to cook.

"Bye the way since I didn't get to introduce them, this is Chris my brother
and his very pregnant girlfriend Faith." Wyatt says as they walk into the
kitchen and points at them respectfully.

"Well it's nice to meet you both, even though we met earlier." Darren says
standing next to Wyatt with a little chuckle.

Wyatt looks at Darren and shakes his head but smiles at Darren's humor.

"So do you want cereal or something?" Wyatt asks walking to the cupboard
where the cereal is kept.

"No I'll just have what Chris is making." Darren says as he pulls out a
chair for him to sit on while waiting for Chris to finish.

"Are you sure, it might not be that good." Wyatt says with a smile.

"Hey." Chris says feeling a little insulted by what Wyatt said.

"What I'm just kidding, Faith and the baby are alright and you've been
cooking for them." Wyatt says holding back his laughter.

"Hey!" Chris and Faith both say in unison.

Wyatt and Darren both break out in laughter and Faith smiles holding back
her laughter so she won't upset Chris.

"I'm sorry Chris but you know your second best to mom when it comes to
cooking." Wyatt says looking at Chris trying to give him a serious look but
can't as he's trying to hold back his laughter.

"Yeah whatever, see if I cook for you from now on." Chris says trying to
put some anger in his voice.

"Well can Darren have some at least?" Wyatt asks knowing Chris was going to
serve Darren a plate anyway.

"I don't know, what do you think babe?" Chris asks Faith while fixing up a
plate for both Faith and Darren.

"I guess I don't want the kid to starve on us." Faith says looking from
Darren to Chris and smiles.

"I'm not a kid." Darren says defensively.

"Well to me you're a kid alright." Faith says "So what's your story kid?

"Look I'm fifteen and not a kid but if you let me get to know your future
son or daughter, I'll let you call me kid." Darren says hoping he gets to
feel the baby kick again.

"Well then alright.  So what's your story kid?" Faith asks again knowing it
bugged Darren but also that she would let Darren get to rub her baby belly.

Before speaking, Darren looks to Wyatt to get silent confirmation which
Wyatt nods.  "Well I'm a witch and since this morning Wyatt's charge."
Darren says knowing Faith probably wanted more details.

"Wait since this morning?" Chris asks looking at Wyatt curiously.

"Yeah the Elders called me early this morning and said that I had a new
charge that I should go and introduce myself.  They really didn't give me
much info; they seemed in a hurry for some reason." Wyatt says walking over
to sit next to Darren.

"That's weird, I hope nothing is coming or going on." Chris says putting
the finishing touches to both plates.

"Well I didn't stick around to find out.  I went to meet Darren and we
talked for a little bit but then another charge needed me so I told if he
needed me to call me or come over.  So I hope you guys don't mind that he's
here?" Wyatt says as he moves his hand to ruffle up Darren's hair again.

"Hey the hair." Darren says fixing his hair again.

"So what is your power?" Chris asks walking over to the table with both
plates in his hands to serve Faith and Darren.

"That you will find out in time." Darren says looking at Chris and
furrowing his eyebrows a little.

Chris looks at Wyatt raising an eyebrow with suspicion.

"I don't know like I said the Elders didn't tell me but as long as he's
here and I can protect him, it's fine with me." Wyatt says taking a piece
of fruit from Darren's plate.

"Just as long as no demons come looking for him." Chris says sitting next
to Faith.



In the Underworld

"We must find the witch." A demon says looking at two of his fellow demons.

"We've tried looking where he lives but there was no one there." The second
demon says who is shorter than the other two.

"We must find him.  If we are to gain control of the Underworld." The
tallest of the three demons says.

"How are we to find him?" The second demon asks.  "We can't go to ask any
Seer or they will find out about our plan."

"As if they don't possibly know already but you're right Daris, this we
must do without anyone finding out." Zethus the tallest of the three says.

"We will have to keep on eye on his home to see if he shows up." Sazaar the
first demon says.

"Then that will be your task Sazaar and Daris you will go and find out what
you can.  Maybe this witch has stirred up something." Zethus orders his
fellows demons.

Both have learned not to question or challenge Zethus' orders.  Sazaar had
tried to question Zethus but it did not end well for Sazaar as he was
almost vanquished by Zethus' powers.

"I shall return with what I've learned if I do learn anything about this
witch." Daris says before he shimmers out.

"I too shall return with any news." Sazaar says before following Daris'
exit.

"We will find this witch, we must if we are to survive and take control of
the underworld." Zethus says to himself.



Back at the manor

Just as Chris is done with his plate he asks "So Wy what are you doing
today?"

"Well today is Saturday, so probably just enjoy the day and of course watch
over Darren." Wyatt says looking from Chris to Darren who is rubbing
Faiths' baby belly again with a wide smile on his face.

"So how are things going with you and." Chris says stopping and indicates
the basement door with his eyes so that Wyatt would know he's talking about
Angel.

Wyatt follows Chris' eyes and then turns to look back at Chris and knowing
he did that so they could be careful of what Darren learns.  "We're going
to take things slow and get to know each other.  I want to ask him out on a
date." Wyatt says low enough for Chris to hear.

"Well not today you aren't." Chris says nodding his head in Darren's
direction.

"It's alright I like hanging with out with him." Wyatt says looking from
Darren to Chris.

"So what's going on guys?" Melinda asks as she walks into the kitchen.

"Oh nothing much just having Wyatt's charge getting to know my future son
or daughter." Chris says looking at the smile Faith has as does Darren with
his hand feeling the baby kick.

Melinda walks up to the stove but stops when she hears what Chris said.
"Wait Wyatt's charge getting what?" Melinda says confused and turning to
see someone she's never seen before touching Faith's baby belly.

"Mel this is Darren my new charge.  Darren this is Mel my sister." Wyatt
says looking from Melinda to Darren and back again.

Darren turns to look at Melinda when he nods and then smiles at her and
then turns back to feel the baby kicking.

Melinda looks at the scene of Darren feeling Faith's baby belly and the
smiles Faith and Wyatt have and Chris looking on in a protective/happy way.
"Well I guess he's alright then." Mel thinks to herself and then gets a
plate of food to eat.

Faith feeling a little tired says "Okay kid, you're turning my kid into a
soccer player but I'm getting tired."

"I'm sorry.  Well it was nice getting to know you." Darren says feeling the
baby kick before he removes his hand.

"I'm heading to upstairs to lie down." Faith says trying to get up from the
chair but finding it a little difficult.

"Here baby let me help you and I'll go upstairs with you." Chris says
getting up to help Faith.

"Finally." Faith says feeling more tired than she was just a bit ago.  "I
think you'll have to orb us up there." Faith says looking at Chris.

Once the last word was left Faiths' mouth, she disappeared in a flurry of
white lights.

"What happened?" Chris asks worriedly.

"I think the baby orbed her up to your bedroom." Wyatt says putting his
hands on Darren's shoulders.

"I guess I better go join her up..." Chris begins to say but is cut off by
Darren quickly hugging him.

Chris looks at Wyatt with a raised eyebrow and Wyatt looks at him and
shrugs not knowing why Darren suddenly hugged him.

"I'm sorry.  You can go now." Darren says pulling away from Chris.

"Oooookay." Chris says then orbs upstairs to be with Faith.

"What was that about?" Melinda asks looking at Wyatt and Darren.

"Nothing I just like to hug people." Darren says looking at Melinda.

Melinda turns to Wyatt and raises an eyebrow as if to say what Darren did
was weird.  Wyatt just shrugs his shoulders again.  Melinda would have said
that what she felt through her empathy power was that there is something
off with Darren but he was in the kitchen with them.  So she lets it go for
now.

"Come on Darren, I'll give you a tour of the house." Wyatt says putting his
arm around Darren's shoulders and guiding him to the doorway.

"That is some weird kid." Melinda says to herself as she's walking over to
sit at the table just as soon as Wyatt and Darren walk out of the kitchen.

"Well do you want to start down here or go upstairs and come back down?"
Wyatt asks moving to stand at Darren's side and looking at him.

"I guess from the bottom up." Darren says looking up at Wyatt.

"Well this is the dinning room." Wyatt says beginning the tour.

Thirty minutes later Wyatt walks Darren up to the attic after showing him
almost every room in the house except for Chris and Faith's room where he
heard what sounded like moaning but kept Darren away for his own good.

"Lastly this is the attic where we keep our Book of Shadows." Wyatt says
opening the door and walking in with Darren close behind him.

"You guys have a big house." Darren says following Wyatt to the Book of
Shadows.

"Sometimes it doesn't feel like that but I guess you're right." Wyatt says
stopping when he's standing in front of the book.

"So what's in the book?" Darren asks standing next to Wyatt and looking
down at the Book of Shadows.

"Well it's filled with knowledge of demons, warlocks, and good entities
like fairies, leprechauns, and stuff like that" Wyatt says flipping through
the book.

"Really leprechauns!" Darren asks with excitement.

Wyatt smiles at Darren's excitement and says "Yeah and you can take a look
through it if you want."

"If it's alright, I don't want to ruin it or anything." Darren says inching
his fingers to the book.

Wyatt nods his head and says "It's alright."  Wyatt moves back a little to
give Darren more room to look through the Book of Shadows.

Wyatt looks at Darren flipping through the book with a certain excitement
as if he's showing his son.  Wyatt shakes his head to dismiss the thought.
After a few minutes Darren stops flipping pages.

"Okay I'm done looking.  I think I'll sit on the couch for a little bit."
Darren says turning to look up at Wyatt and begins to walk to the couch.

"Are you okay?" Wyatt asks looking at Darren walk to sit on the couch.

"Yeah I just want to sit." Darren says sitting down and looking at Wyatt.

Wyatt begins to look through the book and doesn't notice two demons
shimmering in.

"Wyatt look out!" Darren shouts to get Wyatt's attention.

Wyatt looks up and sees two demons with energy balls in their hands.  The
demon on the right is bigger looking than the demon on the left.  The demon
on the left is smaller in frame with a slender body.  The demon on the
right is more muscular and standing quite a few inches taller than the
demon on the left.  "Darren hide behind the couch." Wyatt yells still
looking at the demons.

The demons throw their energy balls at Wyatt but he uses his telekinesis to
deflect them away.  Wyatt swings his arm knocking the demons down and
throwing an energy ball of his own at the demon on the right making him
yell in pain and vanquishing him on the spot.  The other demon sees what
happens and shimmers out quickly knowing he is no match for the Twice
Blessed.

Wyatt turns around quickly to see Darren standing from behind the couch.
"Are you alright?" Wyatt asks with concern making his way to Darren.

"Yeah I'm good." Darren says walking around the couch and smiles at Wyatt.

Wyatt walks up to Darren and pulls him into a hug.  "Are you sure?" Wyatt
asks pulling away from the hug and giving Darren a once over to make sure
he's not hurt.

"Yes I'm fine.  You worry too much." Darren says shaking his head and
rolling his eyes with a smile.

Wyatt smiles too and messes up Darren's hair up to get even.  Darren looks
at Wyatt with a look that says `Really'.

"Come on lets check the book, they might be in there." Wyatt says walking
over to the book.

"What do you think they were after?" Darren asks walking right behind
Wyatt.

"I don't know they could be after you." Wyatt says flipping through the
pages of the Book of Shadows.

"I don't think so, they would have been after me but they shot whatever
those things were at you." Darren says giving Wyatt a wondering look.

"Those things were energy balls and I think you might be right." Wyatt says
trying to remember if they had any recognizable markings but nothing stood
out in his mind.

"So why do you think they were after you?" Darren asks looking from the
book to Wyatt.

"Well they could be just some low level demons trying to kill a Charmed One
to gain fame and move up the demon latter." Wyatt says not finding anything
on the two demons.

"So what you're like a prize or something?" Darren asks trying to figure
things out in his mind.

"Thank you." Wyatt says and smiles " Well if they kill me or Chris or
Melinda then yeah our death will be sort of a prize for the demon that does
end up killing us." Wyatt says closing the book.

"Hey is everything alright?" Chris asks walking into the attic.  "I heard
yelling."

"It took you long enough." Wyatt says smiling at Chris and knowing what
Chris was doing that kept him.

"He was busy." Darren says looking from Chris to Wyatt and back again with
a smile.

"Thanks I think." Chris says "So you guys are alright?"

"Yeah it was just two low level demons trying to kill one of us for fame."
Wyatt says almost as if it was nothing.

"Don't worry he got one of them and the other got away." Darren says before
turning to walk to sit on the couch.

"Are you sure they weren't after..." Chris begins to say but is cut off.

"Me.  No we figured it out that they were after Wyatt.  After all you guys
are prizes." Darren says with a little laugh.

Chris looks at Wyatt with a look that says `Is this kid for real'.  Wyatt
looks at Chris and shrugs his shoulders not knowing what to say.

"Is Faith up yet, I want to feel the baby kick again." Darren says getting
up from the couch.

"No she's still resting." Chris answers before turning around to walk out
of the attic.

"Oh, okay." Darren says with a little hurt in his voice and looking down.

Wyatt sees the excitement leave Darren when Chris says no.  "Come on lets
go watch T.V. in the living room." Wyatt says and puts his arm around
Darren's shoulder to lead him downstairs.

"Okay I guess." Darren says picking up his head a little and walking with
Wyatt out of the attic.



Down in the Underworld

The demon that had attacked Wyatt shimmered in quickly and turning around
to see if he was followed by the Twice Blessed.  Almost running with his
head turned back, he runs into Zethus.

"What the hell." Zethus says with a raised voice getting the attention of
the demon.

Turing around quickly the demon says "Oh" and takes a step back from
Zethus.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Zethus asks with the same raised voice.

"I didn't mean to, I was just getting away from the Twice Blessed." The
demon says then turns to look back really quickly out of fear.

Looking at the demon up and down and noticing his slender body and getting
a glimpse of the demons' ass.  Zethus can feel his pants begin to tighten.
"What is your name?" Zethus asks almost with a seductive voice.

"Mmmy name?" The demon stutters out.

"Yes your name, what they call you?" Zethus says with slight anger in his
voice.

"It's Facilius." Facilius says with a little firmer voice but not as firm
as he would like.

"Facilius?  What kind of name is that?" Zethus asks disbelievingly.

"It' sort of means easy, for I learn things easily." Facilius says with a
hint of pride in his voice.

"Easy, well I think you will live up to your name." Zethus thinks to
himself as he gives Facilius another once over and liking what he sees and
feeling his pants tightening again.

"So tell me why are you running from the Twice Blessed?" Zethus asks
stepping closer to Facilius.

"My partner and I tried attacking him when he was alone in hopes of killing
him." Facilius says noticing Zethus taking a step closer.

"You two are either incredibly brave or very stupid to take on the Twice
Blessed.  Seeing as you are the only one running, I'm guessing incredibly
stupid." Zethus says invading Facilius' personal space.

"We would have had him but there was a complication." Facilius says taking
another step back.

"Complication?  What complication?" Zethus asks standing still and a little
intrigued by what Facilius said.

"Well there was someone with the Twice Blessed, a child or teenager.  He
told the Twice Blessed to watch out and jumped behind a couch to hide from
us before the Twice Blessed had told him to." Facilius says recalling what
happened in his mind.

"Hmm." Zethus hums at what Facilius said but doesn't give any indication of
what is running through his mind.  "So could it be the witch?  We haven't
been able to find him and he being with the Charmed Ones does mean he is
well protected.  I will have to make sure of this once I've dealt with
Facilius." Zethus thinks to himself.

Facilius taking advantage of Zethus just standing still begins to back away
slowly.

Zethus noticing Facilius backing away, reaches out his hand to grab a hold
of Facilius' arm and pulls him close.  "Where do you think you're going?"
Zethus asks pulling Facilius up to his face and looking at Facilius in the
eyes.

Facilius locks eyes with Zethus and sees the lust in them.  He knew it was
lust for his demon lover that the Twice Blessed vanquished would have the
same look in his eyes.  "No where." Facilius answers in a weak voice.

Zethus releases Facilius.  "You will live up to your name." Zethus says
deeply and moves to rip open Facilius' leather vest.  "Believe me you will
love it." Zethus says seductively while pushing Facilius down to the
ground.

Facilius wanted to protest but knew if he did it would either be worse or
possible vanquish.  He then thought maybe he could take advantage of this
situation.  Yes he was with his demon lover but he didn't love him as
demons can't love.  "I'm sure I will my liege." Facilius says beginning to
undo his leather pants.

"You truly are going to live up to your name." Zethus says removing his
leather clothing and undoing his leather pants and pushing them down.

Facilius sees Zethus' cock and his eyes widen.  He had never seen one as
big as his before.  Even with his demon lover.

"Lusting for what you see?" Zethus asks following Facilius eyes to his
somewhat thick flaccid 7 inch cock.

Facilius tearing his eyes away from Zethus' cock, looks up to Zethus and
says "I've never seen one as big as yours my liege." Facilius says and then
licks his lips.

"I believe that is true.  Now let us see you use those lips." Zethus says
with a smug look.

Facilius moving to kneel close to Zethus' inflating cock and moving his
mouth with parted lips to please his new liege.  Facilius begins to lick
the shaft of Zethus' cock and moves down to lick his ball sac and taking
one in his mouth and rolling it around his with his tongue.

"Oh yes make your new liege happy." Zethus moans out feeling the incredible
sensation Facilius is causing him.

"Hmm" Facilius responds and lets go of Zethus' sac and moves to take the
hardening cock into his mouth.  Facilius hollows out his cheeks and stats
bobbing up and down on Zethus' now fully erect 9 in cock.  Facilius backs
away to get a good look at Zethus' impressive 9 in cock and looks up to see
Zethus with his eyes closed but beginning to look down as to why Facilius
stopped.

"It is huge my lord, I thought it was huge before but now." Facilius says
answering Zethus' unasked question of why Facilius stopped sucking him.

"Quit marveling at my cock and get to sucking for in a moment I will impale
you with it." Zethus says looking at Facilius in the eyes with a deep
filled voice with lust.

"Yes my lord." Facilius says and then begins to suck again.

Facilius begins to lick the head and sticking his tongue into the piss slit
causing Zethus to moan out and almost echoing in the cave.  Facilius licks
up and down the shaft and when he gets to the head he does a twisting
motion with his tongue.  Facilius starts to deep throat Zethus' cock in
hopes of pleasing his new lord.  Feeling the tightness of Facilius throat,
Zethus pulls Facilius head even closer to him to get more of his cock in
Facilius throat.  Hearing Facilius gag a little, Zethus smiles and says
`You will get used to it."  Facilius sucks Zethus a few minutes more before
Zethus begins to feel his climax approach.

"That is enough.  Now lie on your back and prepare yourself for I will not
take it easy on you." Zethus says looking at Facilius moving back and
laying down on his back.

Zethus kneels himself down by Facilius' entrance and lifts Facilius' legs
and pushing them as far back as they could go to Facilius head.  "Ready for
your new lord?" Zethus asks putting his cock head at Facilius' entrance.
"Yes my lord, take me." Facilius says knowing Zethus would not be easy on
him and he himself feeling turned on by the roughness that is coming.

Zethus thrust his cock into Facilius so quickly and roughly that Facilius
cries out causing an echo in the cave they are in.  Zethus smirks at the
pain he cause Facilius but he knew he would eventually demand more
roughness.  Facilius knew that Zethus would give it to him rough so he
barred down and began to endure what Zethus would give him and knew it
would turn to pleasure but not sure how much.  Zethus began pounding into
Facilius with long and deep thrusts.  Facilius would moan out as Zethus'
cock would rub against his prostate and say `Yes my lord."  Zethus not one
to care for others shifts a little making sure that he doesn't rub against
Facilius prostate.  Facilius feels the shift that Zethus makes and tries to
shift while under the weight of Zethus body.

"Don't move!" Zethus grunts out and back hands Facilius across the face to
keep him still.  "This is for my pleasure."

"Yes my lord." Facilius says taking what he can get from Zethus pounding
into him roughly.

Zethus moves from long and deep thrusts to quicker, shorter, and deep
thrusts as he feels his climax build again.  Soon Zethus is pounding into
Facilius so hard that the skin slapping against each other is echoing off
the cave walls.  "Harder my lord." Facilius pants out hoping that it will
cause Zethus to want to pleasure him by rubbing his prostate with his cock.
Zethus begins to pound harder into Facilius causing Facilius to bed his
legs and hold them close to his chest and loving the hard and roughness
that Zethus is giving him.  Zethus shouts "I'm close" as he quickens his
thrusts into Facilius.  "Cum in me my lord" Facilius moans out between
thrusts.  "I'm cuming." Zethus shouts again and rams into Facilius getting
as deep as he can get and starts blasting into Facilius' ass filling him up
with his seed.  "Yes my lord cum in me, I feel it inside me." Facilius says
feeling Zethus' cock expand in him and feeling the hard spurts of Zethus
climax.

Zethus pulls out of Facilius and says "You truly are easy.  Get dressed
now."

"Yes my lord." Facilius says taking a moment to get up and smiles.

"What is taking you so long I said get dressed and why are you smiling?'
Zethus says raising his voice at the slowness of Facilius while he begins
to dress himself.

"Sorry my lord but you gave it to me so good.  I smile for I enjoyed what
you did to me." Facilius says in half lie and half truth.

Zethus glares at Facilius and thinks he may have made a mistaking having
sex with Facilius.  "Get dressed for I have things to do." Zethus says
putting on his leather vest.

Getting up and pulling on his leather pants.  "Anything I can help with my
lord?" Facilius asks picking up his vest to put on as well.

"As far as you're concerned, you did your job already.  Go now and come if
and when I call upon you again." Zethus says turning away from Facilius.

"As you wish my lord." Facilius says bowing his head and shimmering out.

Just as Facilius shimmers out, Daris and Sazaar shimmer in and both say in
unison "My liege."

Turning to face Daris and Sazaar, Zethus says "I know where the witch is."

In another part of the Underworld

Facilius shimmers in and looks around to make sure he is alone.  "There
will be much to come my lord." Facilius says and puts and hand on his
stomach.



Back at the manor

Darren and Wyatt were watching TV in the living room when Melinda comes in.

"Hey Wy, can I talk to you alone for a minute?" Melinda asks wanting to
talk to Wyatt about what she felt from Darren earlier in the kitchen.

"Yeah sure Mel." Wyatt says turning to look at Melinda and then back at
Darren "I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay." Darren says and nods.

Melinda walks to the dinning room knowing Wyatt will follow her but staying
close to Darren.

"So what's up?" Wyatt asks walking up to Melinda.

"I want to talk to you about something.  How much do you know about your
charge?" Melinda asks hoping that maybe Wyatt had an indication of what
could be off about Darren.

"Not much but he is a witch and he's my charge." Wyatt says not liking
where this could be going.

"It's kind of weird that that is basically all you know for him being a
charge." Melinda says finding it unbelievable that Wyatt hasn't learned
more about Darren from the Elders.

"I know but the Elders assigned him to me for a reason and really as long
as he's here where I – we can protect him all the better." Wyatt says
defending why he doesn't know more about Darren.

Melinda nods in understanding and says "Well the reason I wanted to talk to
you is because earlier in the kitchen I felt that there is something off
about Darren."

"Darren go back and watch TV please." Wyatt says after hearing a floor
board creak.

"Awe man." Darren says going back to the living room to watch TV.

Wyatt smiles and shakes his head and then asks "What do you mean off?"

Melinda smiles as she feels love coming off of Wyatt and says "I don't know
but never mind."

"Wait Mel, you can't say something like that and just say never mind.  You
can tell me." Wyatt says giving Melinda a worried look.

"Don't worry I'll figure it out on my own." Melinda says then walks around
Wyatt to go upstairs.

Wyatt looks at Melinda going up the stairs and mutters to himself
"Sisters."

Wyatt walks back into the living room to see Darren watching TV.  He walks
to sit next to Darren like he was before.

"You know what I told you about boundaries right?" Wyatt asks to get
Darren's attention.

"Yeah I know." Darren says turning from the TV to look at Wyatt.

"So then why were you trying to eavesdrop on me and my sister?" Wyatt asks
with a hint of a smirk knowing he would have done the same.

"I'm a kid still learning and wouldn't you if it was about you?" Darren
asks looking up at Wyatt with his puppy dog eyes.

"I would but still you have to respect people.  Wait I thought you said you
weren't a kid?" Wyatt asks raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not but you know what I mean." Darren says with a little laugh.

"I do and when you're here around my family just treat them like you would
want to be treated." Wyatt says then messes with Darren's hair.

Darren shakes his head and then fixes his hair.  "Okay but I can't promise
anything." Darren says with a smile.

Just as Wyatt is about to respond, he hears one of his charges calling him.
"Oh man one of my other charges is calling.  I'll be back okay and remember
what I told you." Wyatt says getting up off the couch.

"Okay I'll wait here until you get back." Darren says getting up from the
couch as well.

"Chris.  Chris can you come downstairs for a little bit." Wyatt shouts to
the ceiling.

"Why are you calling him?" Darren asks curiously.

"So that he can watch you while I'm gone.  I don't want you to get hurt if
there is a demon attack." Wyatt says looking at Darren with almost fatherly
love.

Orbing into the living room next to Wyatt, Chris asks "Yeah what's up?"

"One of my charges is calling; can you watch Darren until I get back?"
Wyatt asks putting his arm around Darren's shoulder.

Chris looks at Darren who doesn't look to happy being left to be watched
like some kid.  Chris smiles and then says `Yeah I'll watch him for you."

"Thanks and remember what I said." Wyatt says looking at Darren before
disappearing in a flurry of white and blue lights.

"Come on lets go see if Faith is awake yet and you can play with the baby."
Chris says looking at Darren and feeling a little twinge in his heart.

Darren looks up disbelievingly at Chris and asks "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, Faith and I talked about it and if Wyatt can treat you like he does
then you aren't all bad." Chris says before turning to walk and going up
the stairs.

"Gee thanks I think." Darren says following Chris upstairs.

Just as Chris and Darren reach the stairs, the door opens with Henry
Jr. walking in.

"Hey Chris is Wyatt around?" Henry Jr. asks walking into the manor and
closing the door behind him.

"He's not here." Darren says before Chris can answer.

Henry Jr. looks at Darren but says nothing knowing that he's probably an
innocent or something for Chris to be close to him.

"A charge was calling him but he'll be back in a little while.  So why are
you looking for Wy/" Chris asks looking at Henry Jr.

"I wanted to talk to him about something but I guess I'll come back later
or catch him at another time." Henry Jr. says looking at Chris.

"He should be here in a little while." Darren says walking up the stairs.

Henry Jr. looks at Darren and then turns to look at Chris and says "So
who's the kid?"

"I'm not a kid." Darren says still walking up the stairs.

"So what's the kids' problem?" Henry Jr. asks Chris with a smirk.

Chris shakes his head looking at Henry Jr. as Darren stops on the halfway
landing of the stairs and turns to look at Henry Jr.  "You know for being a
few years older than me and were a "kid" himself, you're acting like a
jerk.  You know you are in for a big surprise." Darren says and then turns
to walk back up the stairs to Chris and Faith's bedroom.

"What was that about?" Henry Jr. asks Chris giving him a curious look.

"Hey you started it by calling him a kid." Chris says as he laughs a little
at Henry Jr.

"Well he is a kid." Henry Jr. says and raising his voice to emphasize kid.

"He is right though why are you acting like a jerk?" Chris asks shaking his
head at Henry Jr.'s words.

Henry Jr. shrugs his shoulders and asks "So what's his story?"

"He's Wyatt's charge and oddly enough he's spending the day with Wyatt."
Chris says walking to the living room so he and Henry Jr. can sit and talk.

"Is he like that with Wyatt too?" Henry Jr. asks following Chris.

"Actually he acts way better.  He listens to Wyatt and they act like
they've know each other a long time, almost even like father and son as
crazy as that sounds." Chris says sitting on the sofa arm.

"That's weird." Henry Jr. says turning his head to look at the stairs.

"It's probably because of the bond between whiteligther/charge."  Chris
says looking at Henry Jr.

"So how are you doing daddy to be?" Henry Jr. asks with a smile.

"I'm doing good and as funny as it is, I can't wait but I'm also a little
scared." Chris says with a half smile.

"So how's Faith doing?" Henry Jr. asks raising an eyebrow.

"She's doing well but you know going through all the pregnancy stuff.  I'm
learning what to say and not say to her or around her." Chris says with a
little laugh.

"Well I don't envy you but I'm happy for you guys.  I don't think I'll ever
be a dad especially if I would have to deal with a teenager like." Henry
Jr. says but finishes with pointing a finger upstairs to indicate Darren.

Chris laughs and then says "He's not that bad.  Actually he's pretty good
and he gets along with the baby and Faith.  I think if the baby is a boy
and when he becomes a teenager like Darren, I'd be good with that."

"I don't know about that but..." Henry Jr. begins to say when his cell
phone begins to ring.

After a few seconds Henry Jr. hangs up his cell phone and says "I have to
go.  Its mom, she wants me home."

"So what's going on there?" Chris asks looking at Henry Jr. and knowing
there is something bugging him.

"Just parent stuff, you know how that goes." Henry Jr. says shaking his
head.

"Yeah and I think I get it now that I'm going to be a dad soon." Chris says
getting up from the sofa arm.

"Well just don't change too much." Henry Jr. says walking to the front
door.

"I'm going to be a cool dad." Chris says following Henry Jr. to the front
door.

Henry Jr. looks at Chris and says "Right okay" and laughs.

"Just get home, your mommy is calling." Chris says and begins to laugh.

"That's low, wanna be cool dad." Henry Jr. retorts back and laughing.

"I'll see you later." Chris says still laughing.

"Later cousin." Henry Jr. says walking out the door still laughing and
closing the door.

Chris walks upstairs still laughing and makes his way to his and Faith's
bedroom where Darren is no doubt making the baby kick.

Upstairs an hour later

The sun begins to set and a certain vampire comes upstairs looking for who
is home.  Angel hearing voices from Chris and Faith's bedroom makes his way
to see who is home.

"Hey" Angel says walking up to the doorway of the bedroom

"Hey Angel, about time you got up." Faith says with a smile.

"Are you guys hungry, I'll go downstairs to make you guys something to
eat." Chris says getting up from the bed and asking all three.

"I don't eat remember." Angel says reminding Chris.

"Yeah I know but I could heat you up some blood." Chris says walking to the
door.

"Blood?" Darren asks looking up at Faith, Chris and Angel.

All three look at each other as if they made a huge mistake.

"Yeah it's a long story but I think Wyatt should be the one to tell you."
Faith says then glares at Chris for his slip.

"Wait who are you?" Darren asks looking at Angel standing in the doorway.

"I'm Angel and you are?" Angel asks looking at Darren and smelling that he
is a witch like the Halliwell's.

"I'm Darren, I'm Wyatt's charge.  Wait why do you drink blood?" Darren asks
curiously looking at Angel.

`I'm uh; yeah I think Wyatt should explain things to you.  By the way where
is Wyatt?" Angel asks barely noticing that Wyatt isn't in the room with
them.

"He's with a charge I think and he's supposed to be back a little while
ago." Chris says looking at Angel.

"Hmm." Angel says then side steps so that Chris can walk around him and out
the door.

"I'm sure he'll be back by the time we get downstairs." Chris says walking
out the doorway.

"Yeah I'm sure Chris is right so don't worry okay." Faith says putting her
arm around Darren's shoulders to walk him out of the room.

"I hope he's alright and that he'll be here soon." Darren says looking at
Angel.

"I hope so too kid." Angel thinks to himself.

All four walk downstairs and as they reach the last step Wyatt orbs into
the foyer to meet them.

Darren runs up to Wyatt to hug him and asks "What took you so long?"

"Hey." Wyatt begins and hugs Darren back.  "I would have been back sooner
but just when I was done with one charge another called and then another
but all is good now."

Angel looks at Darren hugging Wyatt and Wyatt hugging back.  He also sees
the smile on Wyatt's face.  Angel smiles but quickly stops before anyone
can notice.

"You're just in time I was going to make something to eat for everyone."
Chris says before turning to walk to the kitchen.

"Good I'm starving.  So how were you today?" Wyatt asks looking at Darren.

"I was good, you can ask Chris." Darren says knowing it was partial truth.

"Well." Chris begins to say.

"Alright I did give someone a little attitude but he was acting like a
jerk." Darren says turning to look at Wyatt and giving him an `it's not my
fault' look.

"I know whoever was acting like a jerk seemed like he deserved your
attitude but still you have to respect people no matter what." Wyatt says
with a hint of sternness in his voice.

"I know, I know and I'm sorry." Darren says lowering his head as he walks
into the kitchen.

"So who was being a jerk to you?" Wyatt asks following Darren into the
kitchen.

"I don't know some guy.  Chris was talking to him and he wanted to talk to
you but you weren't here." Darren says walking to sit in a seat next to
Faith.

"Who was it Chris?" Wyatt asks with that hint of sternness returning in his
voice.

"Well it was Henry Jr..  He came looking for you to talk to you about
something but he said he'll catch you at another time.  He was acting like
a jerk to Darren." Chris says walking to the refrigerator to get out stuff
to cook to make dinner.

"So what did he want?" Wyatt asks walking to sit at the table next to
Darren and looking at Angel as if to say `Hi' with his eyes.

Angel locks eyes with Wyatt and nods but then looks away.

"He didn't say but it didn't seem important." Chris says walking to the
counter to put everything down.

"So why does Angel drink blood?" Darren asks looking from Angel to Wyatt.

"What?" Wyatt asks looking from Darren to Angel with a nervous look.

"Chris had slipped earlier but I said that you would talk to him about it."
Faith says looking at Wyatt and putting a hand on her baby belly.

"Uh, well" Wyatt begins to say but looks at Angel to get silent permission
to tell Darren about him.

Angel nods and then turns to look at Darren.

"Well you see Angel is a vampire but he's a good one.  It's a really long
story but he drinks animal blood that we keep for him here." Wyatt says
giving Darren a little explanation.

"So you guys are okay that he's a vampire?" Darren asks curiously.

"Some of us are more than okay with it." Chris says with a smile in
reference to Wyatt.

"What Chris means is that he's Faiths' friend and now we are all friends."
Wyatt says turning to glare at Chris but then looks at Angel with a smile.

"So you guys aren't afraid that he will attack and drink your blood?"
Darren asks looking at Faith and then Wyatt.

"Nah, Angel here is a big softy and like Wyatt said it's a long story."
Faith says patting Angel on the shoulder.

"Gee thanks." Angel says with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hey Wy, can you get blood for Angel and heat it up for him?" Chris asks
innocently.

"Yeah sure." Wyatt answers knowing Chris is up to something or still having
some fun at his expense.

Wyatt gets up to go to the refrigerator and Chris is cooking with his back
turned to the group.  A few minutes later Sazaar shimmers into the kitchen.

"Demon!" Angel shouts and moves to get Darren out of danger.

Wyatt turns around quickly and waves his arm to throw Sazaar back
telekinetically but Sazaar barely moves a foot still standing.  Sazaar
quickly forms and a fireball to throw at Darren but suddenly a shield forms
around Faith, Angel, and Darren and reflects the fireball back at Sazaar.
Sazaar ducks in time for the fireball to pass him and hit the wall.  While
Sazaar is distracted, Chris shoots lighting at Sazaar hoping to vanquish
him but it only knocks him into the wall behind him.  Quickly getting to
his feet, Sazaar shimmers out of the room as an energy ball from Wyatt his
the wall.

"Is everyone alright?" Wyatt asks walking to check on Darren, Angel, and
Faith.

"Yeah we're good but what saved us?" Darren asks looking from Wyatt to
Faith.

"Well that was my baby's' shield.  I didn't know it could do that but I'm
glad it did." Faith says with a smile.

"Boy that is one powerful baby you have in there." Darren says and putting
his hand on Faiths' baby belly.  "Thank you for saving me and Angel."
Darren says to Faiths' baby belly.

"Thank God for that baby shield." Chris says walking over to Faith to give
her a hug and kiss.

"You alright?" Wyatt asks Angel with concern.

"Yeah." Angel answers giving Wyatt a faint smile.

"Thank you for looking out for Darren.  It really means a lot to me." Wyatt
says then moving to give Angel a handshake.

"No problem, it's what we do." Angel says squeezing Wyatt's hand and then
letting it go.

"So who was that demon?" Darren asks looking up to Wyatt.

"Well we have to go to the book and find out before he comes back again."
Wyatt says putting his hand on Darren's left shoulder.  "Come on.'

"I think we better go with you and call Mel just in case because he was a
powerful demon and we might need the Power of Three to vanquish him." Chris
says then wraps an arm around Faith's waist to lead her out of the kitchen.

"You coming Angel?" Faith asks knowing it might be safer for Angel to be
near them just in case.

"Yeah I'll be up in a minute." Angel replies as he walks to get the blood
Wyatt put in the microwave to heat up.

All four walk into the dinning room just as Melinda walks in through the
front door.

"Hey guys what's up?" Mel asks walking into the foyer.

"We're about to head up to the attic a demon attacked and we think he may
have been after Darren." Wyatt says walking up to Melinda.

"Yeah and it's a good thing you just got here, we were about to call you.
We might need the Power of Three to vanquish him." Chris says walking to
stand next to Wyatt.

"So lets head on up to the attic." Melinda says looking at her big
brothers.

They begin to walk up the stairs.  Melinda waits to walk next to Darren.

"I'm sorry that I had suspected something about you.  I'm glad that you
came here today." Melinda says walking up the stairs and looking at Darren.

"It's okay; I think I would have done the same thing.  I'm glad I came here
too." Darren says with a smile looking at Melinda.  "One more thing, it
will happen again but it won't stick."

Melinda looks at Darren and is about to ask what he means when suddenly
Darren moves quickly to walk next to Wyatt.

All five walk into the attic and Wyatt and Chris head to the book.  Wyatt
begins looking through the book.

"Darren I want you to stay close to Faith and Mel stay close to them just
in case." Wyatt says flipping pages through the book.

"I'll make a vanquishing potion just in case that will work or help us to
defeat him or how many of them come." Chris says walking over to the
potions table and getting to work making strong vanquishing potions.

"Here he is, I found him.  His name is Sazaar and he works with two other
demons, Daris and Zethus.  He is second powerful to Zethus and Daris is the
weakest of the three.  It says that he disappeared several years ago, he
was thought to be vanquished by a sister coven." Wyatt says reading from
the book.

"Well it looks like he just went into hiding and he's back for Darren for
some reason." Chris says as he mixes ingredients.

"Well it might not be him but that demon Zethus that wants Darren." Melinda
says looking at Wyatt.

"You're probably right Mel." Wyatt says still looking at the passage on
Sazaar.

"Does the book say on how to vanquish him or them or does it have a
summoning spell?" Chris asks putting the last ingredients in the cauldron.

"It doesn't say but I'm guessing a Power of Three spell and as for
summoning them we either wait or we can write one." Wyatt says looking up
from the book to Chris.

"Well I'll keep making potions just incase we'll need both the potion and
Power of Three spell.  So that means Mel start thinking of one." Chris says
bottling up a potion.

"Alright I'll need a pen and paper." Mel says and then a pen and paper orbs
in her hand.  "Wow my powers are growing but I didn't think it would be
that."

"Relax it wasn't you.  It was me just saving time so you won't have to go
looking for something to write with and on." Wyatt says with a smile.

"Well aren't you the best big brother." Mel says with a hint of sarcasm and
ends with a smile.

"Don't you forget it." Wyatt says back with a smile reaching up to his
eyes.

"Alright guys we have work to do." Chris says interrupting them while he is
still making and bottling potions.

"Yes mom." Wyatt and Melinda say in unison.

Chris shakes his head at what Wyatt and Melinda say.

"What if you guys try and vanquish the weakest one first that way he will
be out of the way and you can concentrate on Sazaar and this Zethus." Faith
says looking at all three Charmed Ones.

"But then that will leave us with two demons but who knows how powerful
they will be." Melinda says looking up from writing on the paper.

"Faith does have a point.  We could summon Daris here and then vanquish him
or find out what they want and how powerful the other two are and then
vanquish him." Chris says looking at Melinda.

"I think you guys both have a point.  I'm thinking what if we summoned this
Sazaar and vanquish him.  That way we get left with the weakest demon and
who knows how powerful demon." Wyatt says looking from Chris to Melinda and
back again.

"So are we going to find out what he knows or do we just vanquish him?"
Melinda asks looking at Wyatt.

"Well we could find out what they want but it's most likely they are after
Darren since he did attack or tried to attack Darren if it wasn't for the
baby's shield.  So I say we just vanquish him and hopefully the other two
won't think of coming after Darren again or if they are dumb enough to,
well then we vanquish them too." Wyatt says getting angry at the fact that
he did try and attack Darren.

"So then we go with summoning and vanquishing Sazaar?" Chris asks looking
at Wyatt.

"Yeah." Wyatt says and nodding his head.

"Well then we'll need these." Chris says picking up the potions he's been
making.  "Here take one each.  They are hopefully the strongest I've made
and from what I saw downstairs then they might just be powerful enough to
at least vanquish Sazaar."

"Darren I want you to stay as close to Faith as you can, so the baby can
use its shield again if it has too." Wyatt says walking to Darren and
kneeling in front of Darren.  "This demon is dangerous and I wish I could
get you out of here but the best place for you is here."

Without much warning Darren moves quickly and hugs Wyatt and squeezes
tight.  Wyatt returns the hug just as tight as Darren.  Wyatt looks at
Faith and mouths "Watch him.'  Faith shakes her head yes and has unshed
tears in her eyes as she sees Darren hug Wyatt.

"Okay remember what I said and no matter what you don't leave Faiths' side
okay." Wyatt says pulling away from the hug.

Rubbing his eyes quickly, Darren says "Okay."

Wyatt messes with Darren's hair before getting up and smiles at Darren.
Darren shakes his head and fixes his hair and smiles at Wyatt.

"So Mel are you done with the Power of Three spell?  We're going to need a
summoning spell." Chris says walking up to Melinda.

"No and I stared working on a summoning spell when we decided to vanquish
Sazaar first." Melinda says looking at the paper and continuing writing.

"Three won't be any need for a summoning spell." Sazaar says looking at
Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda with a fireball in his hand and throwing it at
them.

Wyatt acts quickly and deflects the fireball back at Sazaar and hitting him
causing him to stumble back.

"I think we need to weaken him first that way the potions will work." Chris
says coming up with a plan quickly.

"Well I'm all for it as long as we vanquish him." Melinda says standing
confidently by her brothers.

"Chris use your lighting and I'll use energy balls to weaken him." Wyatt
says forming an energy ball in his hand.

Sazaar quickly forms two fireballs, one in each hand and throws them at
Wyatt and Chris.  They both move out of the way.  While Wyatt and Chris
avoid the fireballs, Sazaar uses his telekinesis on Melinda and sends her
flying behind the sofa.

"Mel are you alright?" Wyatt shouts firing an energy ball at Sazaar.

"Yeah I'm good." Melinda says getting up from behind the sofa.

Sazaar avoids being hit with Wyatt's energy ball but doesn't see Chris use
his lighting and hitting him right in the chest.  Wyatt uses his energy
balls and Melinda comes around the sofa to stand next to her brothers.
They notice that Sazaar is getting weak from the combination of the
lighting and energy balls.  Both Wyatt and Chris stop firing.

 "Ready guys?" Wyatt asks Chris and Melinda while keeping his eyes on
Sazaar.  "Now throw the potions."

All three throw the potions to a weakened Sazaar and immediately he is
vanquished in flames with a yell.  Just as Sazaar is vanquished, Zethus and
Daris shimmer into the attic.  Zethus turns his head to see Sazaar
vanquished.  "Damn you Charmed Ones." Zethus shouts and waves his arm to
throw Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda telekinetically.

"The Charmed Ones lives end now." Zethus says raising his hands to fire
lighting at Wyatt and Chris.

Wyatt and Chris jump out of the way in time and Wyatt forms his shield.
"Chris Mel, you guys think you can handle Daris on your own while I keep
Zethus distracted and then we'll use the Power of Three spell." Wyatt says
turning to look real quick at Faith and Darren hiding behind the sofa with
the baby's shield up.

"Yeah we can handle him but you be careful Wy." Chris answers Wyatt

"Good now lets vanquish these damn demons." Wyatt says looking at Zethus.

Wyatt moves to the far left of the attic hoping to give enough room for
Chris and Mel to deal with Daris and also distract Zethus enough to follow
him.  Chris uses his telekinesis on Daris knocking him back several feet.
Mel quickly throws a potion she picked up off the table and throws it at
Daris hoping it would vanquish him but doesn't work.  Daris throws Chris
back telekinetically and fires a fireball at Melinda.  Melinda uses her
empathy power to tap into Chris' telekinesis and throws the fireball back
at Daris.  Just as Daris flies back from the hit of the fireball to his
chest, Chris comes up and fires lighting from both hands at Daris and
vanquishing him on the spot.

Downstairs Angel hears the yelling and loud noises coming from the attic.
He quickly runs upstairs and hopes that no one got hurt.  He quickly thinks
of Wyatt and Darren and suddenly finds himself running up the attic stairs.

Zethus used his telekinesis on all three knocking them down.  He sees Angel
run into the attic and begins to fire lighting at him.  Darren sees what
Zethus is going to do and knows that he has to save Angel.  He rubs Faiths'
belly and the shield lowers and Darren quickly moves away and jumps over
the sofa.

Just as Darren jumps the sofa, Faith shouts "Darren no."

Wyatt looks up to see Darren and Zethus fires lighting towards Angel.

"No!" Darren shouts as he jumps in the way of the lighting before hitting
Angel.

Seeing the lighting hit Darren right in his chest and going down, Wyatt
grows from anger to rage and uses his telekinesis on Zethus throwing him
back.  He uses his telekinesis on the potions on the table and throws them
at Zethus.  He then throws energy balls at him and seeing that he's
weakening.  He raises his hands and sends out a very destructive sonic wave
at Zethus vanquishing him.  Wyatt quickly turns to Darren and runs to heal
him.

"Darren I'm here, don't die.  I'll heal you." Wyatt says feeling tears
build up in his eyes.  Seeing that his hand isn't glowing to heal Darren
shouts "Why isn't it working?"

"Wyatt" Darren says barely above a whisper.

"Darren I'm here.  I'll save you." Wyatt says looking at Darren.

"Thank you Wyatt.  I'll miss you; you were like a dad to me." Darren says
looking at Wyatt with tears in his eyes.

"No don't talk, save your energy.  We'll get you help." Wyatt says tears
running down his face.

"Wy come closer." Darren says with little energy.

Wyatt leans in so Darren can whisper in his ear.  Suddenly Wyatt shouts out
"NO" and cries out pulling Darren's lifeless body to him.

Chris pulls Faith close to him as he sees her crying and he too has unshed
tears in his eyes.  Melinda has tears falling and is pulled in by Chris to
hug both Faith and Melinda.  Angel puts his hand on Wyatt's shoulder and
looks down at Wyatt holding Darren with the saddest look he's ever had in
his life.

A few days later after the services for Darren

Angel comes home to see that only the attic light is on.  He wonders who it
could be seeing that everyone should be asleep.  He makes his way up to the
attic and walking in.  He sees Wyatt sitting on the sofa with his head in
his hands and hears sniffling.  Angel walks over to sit next to Wyatt and
pulls him into a side hug.  Wyatt leaning on Angel for a few seconds and
then realizes that it's Angel hugging him and looks up.  Angel looks at
Wyatt and can see the redness in his eyes and the puffiness.

"Thank you." Wyatt says looking at Angel.

"I know it's not easy to lose someone.  I'm here for you." Angel says with
a somber tone looking at Wyatt and giving him a sympathetic look.

"I just don't understand why he did what he did." Wyatt says looking down
at his hands.

"I'm sorry." Angel says with such sorrow in his voice.

Wyatt looks back up at Angel and asks "What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry because he jumped in the way to save me." Angel says looking
away from Wyatt.

"It's not your fault Angel." Wyatt says taking Angel's hand in his and
squeezing.

"Yes it is, if I hadn't been coming into the room when the demons were
attacking then he would still be alive.  So it's my fault." Angel says with
the sorrow returning in his voice.

"It's not your fault." A voice says.

Wyatt and Angel turn to see that the voice belonged to Sandra the Elder.

"Angel it's not your fault what happened to Darren.  He knew what was going
to happen and he knew that was the moment he was going to die.  I'm so
sorry Wyatt, I know it's hard to lose a charge but I think Darren was more
than a charge to you." Sandra says looking at Wyatt sympathetically.

"So what do you mean Darren knew that was when he was going to die?" Wyatt
asks looking at Sandra.

"Seeing the future was his gift.  His name means "gift".  He was powerful;
he could see the future of anyone without using anything to help him.  Like
your aunt Phoebe has to touch things to get a premonition, well Darren just
saw it no matter what." Sandra says simply.

"So why didn't you tell me that morning that he could see the future, it
would have helped and he wouldn't have died." Wyatt says getting a little
angry.

"I'm sorry Wyatt but it was something Darren wanted so he could enjoy time
with you and your family.  He didn't want be with you so you would worry
about him and trying to save him.  There was a lot he knew that even we
Elders don't know.  His gift even though seems common but really was rare."
Sandra says hoping it's enough for Wyatt to understand why they didn't tell
him about Darren's witch power.

"So why would he just let himself die?" Wyatt asks with tears forming in
his eyes.

"I don't think he just let himself die, he sacrificed himself to save
Angel." Sandra says looking from Wyatt to Angel.

"Why would he sacrifice himself for me?" Angel asks looking at Sandra for
the answer.

"I don't know and that is probably something only Darren knew.  Again I'm
so sorry Wyatt.  I must go now.  Blessed be." Sandra says before
disappearing in white and blue orbs.

Angel turns to Wyatt and looks at him then suddenly Wyatt hears Darren's
words in his head "He'll tell you he loves you" as he looks at Angel.
