Ch.12

Awakening

"Caleb look out!" yelled Piper as soon as she seen her nephew, husband, and son come flying out of the dorm room. Piper was surprised by what happened next. Caleb suddenly disappeared in a flurry of blue orbs. She knew it should not have surprised her but it did.

"Leo are you ok?"

"Yeah just a bump on the head."

"What happened?"

"I don't know."

"Pogue and I are ok too mom, thanks for asking." Chris remarked sarcastically.

"I'm sorry sweetie. My mind isn't all here. Do either of you know what happened?"

"Yeah we got tossed out on our asses."

"Well I figured out that much Chris."

"What's going on?"

"Damn it Paige don't sneak up on me like that."

"Language Piper."

"Oh shut up."

"Seriously though what happened?"

"That is what I'm trying to figure out, but Chris is being a smart ass and Leo doesn't know."

"I wonder why Reid and Tyler were not thrown out."

"I don't know Pogue."

"Piper the door won't budge." Caleb said as he was trying to open the door.

"You don't think Tyler or Reid used do you Caleb?"

"I don't know Pogue."

"Well let's find out then?"

"But how do we do that Mom?"

"Talk with them through the door."

"It's worth a shot."

"Reid can you hear me?" Caleb yelled at the door.

"Yes Caleb. The door's locked not sound proof."

"Quit being a smartass and listen."

"I already know what you're going to say Caleb. So let me save time by telling you that neither Tyler nor I did anything. We believe Ryan did it."

"How could he, he's unconscious?"

"How the hell should I know?"

"Prue, Phoebe what do you think?"

"I don't know Piper."

"Me either."

"Leo is it possible that Ryan threw you guys out?"

"Anything's possible Piper?"

"But why would he do that?"

"I think I know why."

"Why Chris?"

"Because Reid was starting to get mad when dad couldn't help Ryan, but I still don't understand why he didn't throw Tyler out as well."

"I can answer that one Chris. The reason he didn't throw Tyler out is because Tyler, Reid and him are very close. They have always been there for each other and Ryan always defends Reid and Tyler when I confront them on something. In a way Ryan is like an older brother to Tyler, and in the same aspect Tyler has always been like a little brother to Ryan. Even though they are the same age. Reid, Tyler and Ryan have formed an unbreakable bond with each other."

"Ok, but that does not explain how Ryan was able to throw Leo, Pogue, and Chris out when he is unconscious."

"Maybe he has more control over his telekinesis then what we thought."

"He might but how is he able to use his telekinesis while he is unconscious? Even I can't do that."

"Prue your right."

"I know I am. I am always right."

"Bullshit!!"

"Your right Phoebs she is full of bullshit but what I want to know is when he got a power boost."

"I still think this is about how much control Ryan has over his tk."

"Who cares about whether he got a power boost or how good his control is. All I care about is how long he is going to be unconscious for."

Meanwhile inside Ryan's mind, Ryan was trapped in a never ending nightmare. All the worst moments in his life seemed to be repeating themselves again and again. But Ryan would take this over the voices he was hearing, and the emotions he was feeling. There was an exception to this though. Two memories he did not wish to see. One being when he was thirteen and one when he was fifteen, the only thing these memories had in common being that they both involved cutting, but that was all. The one when he was thirteen affecting him the most. Ryan had never told anyone why he had started cutting then, not even his brothers. Now Ryan was reliving that moment over and over again. When Ryan was thirteen he and his brother's had been attacked and Ryan had told his brothers to run and that he would hold the guy off. Ryan ended up killing the guy. He never told anyone this. When someone asked what happened he just simply told them that he managed to get away. This is what started Ryan cutting. His brothers had helped him to stop but he started again when he was fifteen. The reason being he had had a fight and broke up with his boyfriend at the time. He hadn't told his brothers about it for two reasons. The first being that it was Aaron Abbott and the second being that he was afraid of what they would think about him being gay. His brother's had helped him then too, but now it was just him, a little boy, and his memories. The little boy represented what Ryan thought he had buried three years ago. Now this little boy had Ryan chained torturing him with his worst memories and trying to break his spirit. The little boy wanted revenge for being buried and he would have it.

"Why do you torture me so?"

"Because you buried me three years ago and I have been waiting, biding my time until you fell in a coma. Now I will have my revenge."

"But why do you want revenge? I didn't bury you like you seem to think."

"Why do I want revenge? I want revenge because you forgot about me and then buried me beneath all the memories you wanted to forget. I would think that would be reason enough, wouldn't you?"

"Yes, but I never forgot you. You're part of me. It may have seemed like I forgot you but I wouldn't be the same person I am today if I hadn't learned from the mistakes we created. I'm sorry about burying you but I will never forget my childhood."

As Ryan finished saying this the little boy and the memories started to disappear and all that was left now was the thoughts and emotions of his family. He could tell they were all worried about him. Slowly he started to wake himself up.

While Ryan slowly started to wake, Reid and Tyler were just sitting in there room. They were both lost in thought. So neither one of them noticed Ryan starting to stir. So they were both surprised when they heard Ryan speak.

"What the hell happened and why are we in the dorms?"

"Shit Ryan, I thought you were still unconscious."

"So did I Reid so did I?"

"Well now that you both are listening, what the hell happened and why are we in the dorms? I thought we had school today and why do I feel like a Mac truck ran over me."

"Well you fell unconscious in the hall on the way to first period and Pogue and I carried you to the dorms while Tyler went to find Caleb and Wyatt and Chris went to California."

"Ok, then were is everybody?"

"Well, there out in the hall. When Chris came back he told Caleb and Wyatt that Aunt Piper needed to talk to them, so they were already out in the hall when Chris, Pogue, and Leo were thrown out of the room."

"Thrown out of the room. How the hell did that happen? Wait do I even want to know how it happened Tyler?"

"No you don't want to know, but I think you need to know Ryan. Uh we think you threw them out and then slammed and locked the door."

"I was unconscious and why would I throw them out?"

"I'll let Reid explain that."

"I kind of started to get mad because Leo couldn't heal you and I guess you picked up on that and decided to get rid of the problem."

"Ok, Tyler did you say I slammed the door shut then locked it?"

"That's what I said Ryan."

"Then why is the door still locked?"

"Well that would be because of your TK as well."

"Well I think I'll go unlock it then."
