It was about 3:00 in the morning, and Lynn went downstairs. She knew none of the sisters was awake, so she crept down as quietly as she could. She desperately wanted to get Hallie or Jess to be with her right now, but she couldn't risk it. There was a reason they were seperated and she couldn't call them again for a while.
Lynn sat on the couch in front of the TV. She didn't turn on the TV, but stared at her "reflection" in it for a while then she started to cry again.
'I want to go home!' She thought desperately.
She huddled her knees close to her chin and just sat.
She hadn't done this since she lived with a witch named Gwen. Gwen was nice...they were all nice, but none of them were ever home to her.
She cried silently and that allowed her to hear someone coming down the stairs. She sat still hoping that one of them was just getting a glass of water or something and wouldn't notice her. Lynn held her breath.
Lynn watched as Phoebe crept down the steps.
'Someone else is trying to be quiet. Only why?' Lynn thought.
Phoebe glanced at the stairs then walked into the kitchen with a 'ha. i'm getting away with it' smile.
The darker side of Lynn's mind was starting to act up again.
'Do it...' The dark side insisted.
Lynn could feel curiosity growing inside her. She was waiting for the good side of her to say something, but instead it seemed to take action inside of her and erased the curiosity.
But with the curiosity erased, sadness swept over Lynn again.
'No.' She thought. 'I'll cry and...'
She started to cry, but she tried to keep quiet, but a little whimper of sadness escaped her.
Phoebe turned around and looked.
'Uh-oh...I don't wanna talk...I don't wanna talk. Go back to what you're doing...no, don't!' Lynn thought as Phoebe came over and sat on the couch with her.
"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked.
'Oh, I just had another dream of mother's death, that's all. Oh and nowhere I go seems like home and I don't think I'll ever be normal.' Lynn thought.
"Nothing." Lynn lied though.
"I suppose you cry all the time and say your happy as...as...as something that's happy. Come on, tell me what's wrong." Phoebe said.
Lynn had stopped crying, but the sadness was still in her.
Lynn sighed. She would have to tell someone. She didn't look at Phoebe, but said, "My mother. I have dreams and I saw her die again. It's just that I couldn't do anything. I wish I knew what was after me...there are dreams when whatever is after me is chasing me and it goes on forever and when I wake up...I do this."
"Tell a twentysomething witch?" Phoebe said trying to make her feel better.
It didn't really work, but Lynn's sadness was replaced with a light feeling. A feeling that could be described as a weight being lifted...from your heart.
'I finally let it out.' Lynn thought. Then she smiled. 'Maybe I should tell her...' Lynn was flipping over the consequences in her mind. 'I suppose...but what if...' Lynn thought, but then she remembered, there were no what ifs when dealing with Hallie, Jess, and herself.
"Phoebe, I have to tell you and your sisters something, but not right now. Tomorrow. Then maybe finally we can figure out what's up with all this stuff. But, right now, I need some sleep." Lynn said and she left Phoebe wondering.
