Chapter 36
That night after the funeral
Brian was walking through the woods in Collinsport. He went for a few miles when he came across a clearing. He stopped to look at it, and saw Angelique approach a bed that was there. She was smiling down at the person laying down in it. He slowly made his way over there without being seen. He saw that he was looking at himself in the bed. The next thing he saw that scared him was that he saw himself open his eyes, they had yellow pupils, plus his mouth opened to show his pointed teeth…….
Brian woke up from the dream and went to wash his face off from the sweating that he had done while sleeping. He decided to go downstairs and get a drink of something from either the kitchen or the living room. He decided to go to the kitchen to get some water. He stopped by the block that had the big knives that Mrs. Johnson would use to get the meals ready for them. He picked up one of the big knives and was going to plunge it into his heart. But the creature inside of him would not let him do so. He finally put the knife down in defeat. He then went to the living room and sat down on the couch, and finally went back to sleep.
Quentin came down into the living room a little after 6:00am, and saw Brian sleeping on the couch. He went over and woke him up. Brian asked him what time it was, and Quentin told him. Brian told his father about the dream that he had that night, and that it frightened him. Quentin told him that things will soon work out for him with the injections. Brian was still not sure if they would work or not, but he was willing to give it a shot. Quentin told him to go upstairs and get cleaned up and he would call Julia in a while for when she would want him to come over. Brian did as he was told like when he was a little boy before getting ready for school.
David came down shortly afterwards and joined Quentin in the living room. They both went into the kitchen and made coffee for everyone that would be coming for breakfast. They found the pastries that delivery man had left by the back kitchen door, with a note that they send their condolences to the Collins family. The two of them then went to set everything up for breakfast.
Alondra had woke up that morning, disappointed that Brian did not show up last night. But then remember that he was at the funeral and wake for Mrs. Johnson. She saw that Will was still asleep, and decided that she should get into the shower before he woke up. When she was done, she saw that he was up, and watching TV. She smiled at him, and told him that she would take them down to the diner to have breakfast if he behaved himself in there. He told her that he would be the best boy in there for his mommy. She smiled at him because of that. He reminded her of his father when he looks at her, and when he smiled at her as well. She thought to herself that there was so much of Brian in him, that she was grateful to have a son just like his father.
After Alondra got herself ready, she got Will dressed, and they went to the diner. The waitress sat them down at a table, and told them that she would be back for their orders. The waitress told Will that he has very cute and well behaved. He thanked her as he sat down across from his mother.
"That was nice of you to thanked the waitress on her complement to you. You are such a big boy at 6 years old. I'm proud of you, my son." Alondra said to her son.
"Frank you mommy. I want to make you proud of me. I want you very haffy." He told her with his two front teeth missing.
She asked him what he wanted for breakfast. He told her a waffle with syrup, and chocolate milk. She told him alright. The waitress came over and asked with they were ready. Alondra told Will that he could place his order first. He told the waitress what he wanted, and the waitress asked if he lost his two top teeth, he told yes. She gave him a 1.00 from her tips, and told him that the tooth family gave that to her to give to him. He took it, and thanked for it. Alondra gave her order to the waitress, and would like some coffee while she waited for their orders.
The waitress came over a short time later with their orders, and began eating. They ate and talked about what they were going t do for the day. Alondra said that she was going to call his father to see if he could come and see them today. Will got excited at the idea of finally meeting his father for the first time. He knew from what his mother had told him, was that they lived from apart from each other when he was born, and that he didn't know about him till yesterday. He couldn't wait to meet him. Alondra paid the check, and left a nice tip for the waitress. They left to go for a walk around town before calling Brian at the Main House.
While the two of them were eating, Angelique had went to get breakfast herself. She saw Alondra sitting at a table with a little boy that looked to be about 5 or 6 years old. She started to see what Brian may have looked like at that age. She saw the resemblance between the little boy and him. She saw his smile, and the way his head tilted to one side while he drank his milk. And a bunch of other little things that reminded her of Brian. She knew that was his son, and that she didn't want the same thing to happen to him as to Brian. She knew that she could not do anything to Alondra now that she saw Brian's son. He was going to need his mother, but his father told her that he loved her now, and not Alondra. This was going to be something that they had to work out between the three of them.
She ate in peace while watching the two of them. She saw them leave, and decided to go to the Old House to see if Julia had begun the injections for Brian. She was going see if she could do anything with her magic to help Julia with the injections. She left afterwards and drove off. She reach the Old House and knocked on the door. Julia smiled and let her in. She figured that Brian should be the one to tell Julia and Barnabas about his son. Julia asked if she wanted anything, and Angelique told her no, and that she was waiting for Brian to show up for the shots. Barnabas sat down across from her and the three of them started to talk about the death of both Mrs. Johnson and the young woman at the beach. Angelique said that she would try to add her magic to the injections. Julia thought it over, and told Angelique that sound like a good idea.
There was a knock at the door, and Barnabas went to the door, and opened it to see that it was Brian. He said that he was ready to start the injection. He sat down in a chair, and rolled up his sleeve for Julia to give him his shot. She told him that Angelique wanted to try something first before he received his first injection. He agreed to that, and waited for the shot. Angelique put a spell that would help with the shot, and then Julia gave it to him.
After that, Brian thanked Julia for the shot, and told her that he hoped that these would work. She hoped as well. Brian said to Angelique that they could go anywhere that she wanted to go today. She told him that it didn't matter to her, as long as she was with him. With that the two of them left the Old House to enjoy themselves.
