Disclamier: See first part. William Scully and any other X-Files characters belong to Chris
Carter. I also borrowed some ideas from
The Sixth Sense (boy, do I like that movie), which was created by M. Night
Shyamalan.
Summary: Is Tyler gone for good?
Author's Notes: Did you guys really think that a Sixth Sense fanatic would let Tyler be
gone for good? (Everyone groans). Well,
anyways I put in Scully's baby, William (there are way too many Williams in
that show), only now he's 18. Yes, I
know the timeline is way off.
William Scully adjusted his tie, as he prepared for his good friend, Gabby's funeral. Gabby was (or had been) one of his five really good friends. They had friends since their innocent kindergarten days. They both had similar gifts (or curses, depending on you talked to). They could both see dead people. Gabby, had been able to see and hear them, while all William could do was see them.
It had been
one of Gabby's "friends" that had caused Gabby's death or lead to it. William wasn't actually sure if it had been
Clark Plamer (a man who in life had had an obsession with trying to kill
Gabby's step dad), who had shot Gabby at least once. William hadn't been in Mr. Bank's English class, but had seen
Clark Plamer exit the classroom with a gun and a crazy smile on his face.
"William,
are you ready?" William's mom, Dana Scully asked as she poked her head in his
doorway.
"Just
about. Is Mulder coming?" William asked
in reply. Mulder was his mom's partner
in the FBI and the closest thing to a father William had. Nobody knew for sure who William's father
was or if he had one.
"No, he's
trying to prove that theory of yours," she replied. That was one thing William liked about Mulder, he always took
William's sometimes crock-pot theories to heart, especially the ones that involved
William's "gift".
About ten minutes
later William found himself sitting in a pew at Gabby's funeral. On one side of him sat his mother on the
other was his girlfriend, Mari. William
had first meant Mari when she moved to the D.C. area to live with her
grandparents, after her mom died and her dad went back to carrier duty. Mari was unique to say the least and had a
bit of temper, she wasn't above getting into an argument with a teacher, or
anybody else for that matter. Next to
her sat A.J. another one of his friends, A.J. had known Gabby since birth
(their parents worked together) and it was no secret that he had loved Gabby
since then, but had been too much of a "jerk" to admit as Mari and Lauren,
another of William's friends, had put it. So after Gabby got asked out by a football player, named Hank, A.J. got
jealous and actually hadn't spoken to Gabby since had found out about her relationship. William couldn't begin to imagine what his
friend was going though. On the other
side of A.J. sat Hank and of his friend, Val. William didn't know either one all that well.
Two of
William's friends were missing. Justin
who had been another one of the innocents to lose his life in his English
class. Another one of William's who
wasn't present was, Lauren. Lauren was
Justin's girlfriend and had been Gabby's closest friend. The loss of two of her closest friends had
too much for Lauren and last night she had attempted suicide. William and Mari had spent most of last
night in the hospital waiting to see if Lauren would make it and luckily she
did.
As William
put his arm around Mari for support, he looked over towards where Val was
sitting and saw someone standing over her. At first he thought that was just mourner who couldn't find a seat, then
William took a closer look and saw that the boy had a chalk white face and when
he turned his head William could tell he had been shot in the back of the
head. He was dead and he needed
William's help.
