Surprise twist near the end!


"Trini, we gotta go." Victor walked into her room. "There's something going down at an-."

"I'm not going." Trini answered sharply.

"What? We need you. Come on, we-."

"I'm not gonna go this time. I think I should sit this one out." She didn't even turn around to see him. "I need some time to think about…"

"Trini, come on. I don't think Nico's gonna-."

"I don't care what Nico thinks right now, Victor." She snapped. "Go…"

"You know, the other day you were-."

"Just go!"

Victor sighed; she heard the door close.

And she was alone.


Downstairs

"Where's Trini?" Nico asked impatiently.

"She's not coming." Victor replied.

"What? Why not?"

Victor looked up in thought. "Her powers…are acting up again. She's not…feeling too great."

Nico sighed. "Fine, let's go."


Chase had spoken to her the night before. He had walked in on Molly and her. He asked Molly to get out then walked towards Trini with Old Lace close behind.

"How you doing?" There was no tone in his voice.

"I don't know." The tears wouldn't stop coming. She was such a crybaby.

"Thanks, Trinket." He finally said. "Thanks for…helping me, back when."

"It's no problem." Her voice cracked.

He then sat adjacent to her. "I'm sorry." He placed his hand on her thigh.

She looked up at him. "Why is everyone apologizing?"

He leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her. She cried on his shoulder and held him tight as well.

She didn't even know when she passed out; but when she woke up, she was in Chase's bed. He was sitting next to her, petting Old Lace.

"Chase, what are you-?"

"Shh…Just relax." He patted her head. "They need you soon."

"Who…?"

"Sleep." He brushed her hair from her forehead. "You'll find out soon enough."

The next time she woke up, he was gone. She was still in Chase's bed, but he was gone.

Whatever the hell he was up to, it caused her body to tremble unwillingly. When she got back to her bed, she couldn't sleep. She wouldn't.


Later

The group got back, and from the sound of it, Nico was frustrated. And after she let her frustration (sexual and mental) out on Victor, she stomped towards Trini's room.

"So," She opened Trini's door, "what power manifested today?"

"The power to shake uncontrollably." Trini glared down at her hands.

Nico sighed and sat next to Trini. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to help. I really am."

"It's fine. I should have moved." Oh, god. She was gonna cry again. "I should have saved him…"

"It's not your fault."

It was.

"I'm sorry we never really…talk." Nico rested her hand on Trini's shoulder. "I should have been there to help you. But I was so busy…I'm sorry."

"It's fine. We all have our needs."

"No, I shouldn't have done what I did…" Nico shook her head. "I shouldn't need to…run into another guy's arms every time something like this happens."

"And I shouldn't be constantly crying."

"No," Nico shook her head firmly. "At least you're not afraid to cry. You're the only one that's actually acting…human around here. But…that's not what Gert or Jake would have wanted, Trini. They'd want us to be happy."

"Victor told you that?" Trini cocked her brow. "Sure, they'd want us to be happy. But right now, I'm gonna be sad."

"Trini,"

"Nico, I'll be better when I know what's really going on with me."

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing. Thanks for the talk, Nico. Really." She smiled up at her.


That Night

She fell asleep early that night. She had no idea what she was supposed to do for the rest of the day. So she just passed out. Victor came by her room; but once he saw she was sleeping; slipped away. But Trini knew there was someone else in her room. He entered slowly, peaking in and whispering words. His hand was soft when he ran in up her bare arm.

"Trini, baby. Time to wake up." His voice. She woke up instantly.

"J-Jake?" Oh, god. The tears came out instantly. "That's not..." She sat up.

"Shhh." He touched her face. "It's okay. We have to go."

"Go where?" She sat up; reached up to wrap her arms around his neck.

"Will you go with me?" He leaned in and whispered it to her lips.

"Of course." She whispered back.

He jolted; pressing his lips to hers.

Wronglips,wrongtaste,wrongwrongwrong

Her head was singing how wrong Jake felt. But she didn't listen. No, because he was alive. He was here with her. He kissing her; caressing her. His hands slipping down her back and gripping her hips, his tongue sliding underneath hers, her fingers in his…long hair?

WRONGWRONGWRONG

She yanked back; gasping for air and placing her hand on his chest. His heartbeat was there. God, she was so stupid.

"Why, Chase?" She looked up at him. "Why would you do this to me?"

"Because they need you." He whispered. "Diabolus Volo Vos Dormio*."

Blackness began to spread across her eyes from her pupils; she passed out in his arms.

"I'm sorry."


*Diabolus Volo Vos Dormio means Devils want you to sleep in Latin.
