The Reason Behind the Cuts
Chapter 10: Unheard News
PoV: Poof
Poof glanced out the window and frowned as his gaze extended way beyond the sidewalk in front of Momma Cosma's house. Poof glanced back at the clock that hung silently on the wall and read 5:30 which was usually during rush hour, normally fairies without godchildren or the people who ran businesses in Fairy World would be coming home. But unlike most days everything was still and the streets remained vacant. Poof being as smart as he is began to question this vacancy and decided to try and get answers from his grandmother.
Poof climbed the wooden stairs and approached his grandmother's door, he reached up and turned the brass handle and listened for the click before giving the door an innocent shove. He poked his head inside and caught glimpse of his grandmother sitting on her bed clutching something Poof couldn't make out. Poof gave the door one last shove to fully open the door and at the noise of the squeaky door Momma Cosma glanced in the direction of the sound and smiled at the sight of her grandson.
Poof walked towards his grandmother's bed and stopped at the foot of it and flashed a smile before asking her what boggled his mind "Grandmom, how come it's in the middle of rush hour and the streets are empty?" Momma Cosmo shot poof a confusing glance before rising from her bed to see this for herself, as she pulled apart the blinds the light hit her causing her to squint in an effort to see, she shrugged as the empty streets shot validly into Poof's question. Seeing as Momma Cosma didn't have an answer to his question he decided to ask another question he knew she had the answer to… or at least he hoped.
"Grandmom, where are my mom and dad? They said they would be here two days ago to pick me up." Momma Cosma sighed and motioned for Poof to sit on the bed, and he did. Momma Cosmo smiled at Poof and pulled his cheeks which she just adored. "Don't worry sweetie, there just looking after Timmy" as she spoke Timmy's name she said it with emotion as she continued she attempted to hold back the tears that were begging to be released. "Don't worry Poof your dad will be back to pick you up very soon, now if you could grand mom would like to take a nap, I love you Poof." Poof got up and exited the room. Poof knew in the back of his mind that Grandma was hiding something and it had to do with his big bro.
Poof decided he couldn't wait any longer, he needed to know what was going on. He raised his wand and hoped and prayed that his time in Fairy School taught he all he need to know to accomplish teleportation with ease, Poof began to focus on his parent's home in the fish bowel and with a purple flash of light Poof was gone.
Poof opened his eyes and glanced around and smiled as he became aware of his surroundings. Poof walked down the long hallway the led to his parent's room, when he got to the long staircase he noticed his parent's wands were still encased. Poof began to realize that his parents were indeed home, he climbed the stairs and pulled one ear to the door to listen in. All he could hear was muffled sobbes coming from his parents from within the room.
Poof pulled his ears from the door and peaked through the crack in the large wooden doors. His sight of the room was limited and he could only see to the left his parents bed. Poof became worried as he took noticed of the dresser that laid across the floor, the clothes that were scattered, and the various holes that lined the walls, and the glass from the broken mirror… and then he saw her. He saw his mom and gasped at her appearance, her hair lost its swirl, her makeup was faded, her eyes were emotionless, her eyes hosted heavy bags, and her face showed signs of deuteriation. Poof couldn't even imagine the current appearance of his father.
Poof entered his parents room, Wanda lazily turned her head towards poof and with a frown she whispered in a raspy voice "You're not Timmy…" as she finished she coughed before resting her head back down on her pillow. Poof glanced around for Cosmo and found him on the floor next to the bed clenching a liquor bottle. Poof turned Cosmo over to discover Cosmo was awake and crying. Cosmo glanced up at Poof and smiled "Oh, hey Poof did you have fun at Momma Cosmas?" Poof nodded.
Poof pulled Cosmo to his feet and as he did so Cosmo's feet gave in and he stumbled to the floor, Poof frowned at the sight of his father falling. He could bear to see his parents like this, whatever happened really affected them. Poof decided to try and find Timmy, to see if he could get some answers. Poof teleported out of his parent's castle and into Timmy's room. Poof searched the entire house to find the place vacant which at first really didn't bother Poof, he just thought Timmy's parents were out again and Timmy was still at school.
Poof teleported back to his parent's room and in a loud voice making sure they both would hear him exclaimed "I can't find Timmy, and the house is vacant." Wanda let out a laugh and turned towards Poof where she responded coldly "Of course you can't find Timmy… he's dead." Poof looked at Wanda hoping for it to all be a joke but when Wanda didn't let up Poof began to get worried. Poof turned to Cosmo "Dad is Timmy… really… dead?" Cosmo could only nod yes.
Poof could only respond "Ti-Timmy?" and began to cry. Cosmo got up and cared for his crying son. After minutes of Poof crying and Cosmo trying to calm him down Poof finally stopped. Poof looked up into his caring fathers dole eyes "Wh-wh-what happened?" Cosmo told Poof everything. He told him about Timmy's suicide, them losing their jobs as fairy godparents, Timmy's parents being hauled off to jail, Vicky getting busted, Trixie becoming a tomboy, veronica's near-death experience, Jorgen giving up his job, and last of all Anti-Cosmo's death.
Poof finally understood, he finally realized why his parents were so devastated. Poof broke from his father's embrace and sat down next to Wanda and began to hug her which at this Wanda smiled. Cosmo seeing this flew over to his nightstand and pulled open the drawer and began to search for something. Cosmo smiled as he finally found what he was looking for, he flew in the middle of Poof and Wanda and pulled them both in. He flipped open the book and smiled. Poof sat comfortably in between his parents and smiled as his father flipped through the pages making poof relieve every memory with Timmy he had forgotten. Cosmo looked at Wanda and put one finger over his lips and pointed at Poof who was fast asleep snuggled up in between them.
