BAD
CHOICE
NOTE: These Charmed characters belong to the WB and only the WB. I also
don't own the plot. But I do own Travis and Melinda.
Second note: This is my own personal AU. In this alternate universe Cole and Phoebe are still married and have their son. He is twelve years old and his name is Travis. Piper and Leo are, of course, married and have their eleven-year-old daughter Melinda. Personally I like the Cole with powers. But in my story he does not turn into the demon, Belthazar (if that's the way you spell it). Also Paige is still a social worker and she has her own apartment.
Summary: Travis makes a very bad decision.
CHAPTER 10
In school the next day Travis's sixth grade class was taking a test on fractions. Their teachers head was down grading papers.
"Psst! Hey, Tom," Travis whispered.
Tom, a red headed boy, looked over at Travis. "What?"
"Let me see your paper," Travis said silently.
"What? No way," Tom replied.
"Come on. What are you? Scared or something?"
"No!"
"Then let me see it."
"Forget it, Travis."
"Come on, egghead."
"No, Travis."
"Fine. Be a coward," said Travis.
Tom groaned. "Fine. Here." He stuck his paper out far enough for Travis to see it.
That's when their teacher looked up. She immidiately caught the cheating. She got up and headed over to the two boys. The teacher snatched up both papers. Tom and Travis looked up in surprise.
"Cheating? In my class? Tom, I wouldn't expect this from you. You have detention."
"I'm sorry," Tom sighed.
Then she turned to Travis. "Well, Travis, it looks like you've dug yourself yet another hole. Come with me to the principal's office this instant."
"Ooh," the class started to murmur.
Travis followed his teacher out of the class. He found himself sitting in Ms. Turk's office again. His teacher had told the whole story and left.
"Your father will be here soon," said Ms. Turk.
"This is not what it looks like," said Travis.
"Oh? So you weren't cheating?"
"No."
"Your teacher saw you herself. You are always doing something. But to cheat on a test is completely wrong and you got you and your accomplice into a lot of trouble. Of course, you'll be in more," said Ms. Turk.
"Come on, Ms. Turk," Travis started as Cole walked in. Travis sunk down in his seat as his father sat down next to him.
"Hello, Mr. Turner," said Ms. Turk.
"Hello. What's this all about?" asked Cole. He looked toward his son who wouldn't meet his eyes.
"Mr. Turner, Travis has once again been caught cheating on another test. He has detention for the rest of this week and all of next week. He has been causing too much trouble around here. I'm also going to have to ask you to take him home now," said Ms. Turk.
"Oh, come on," sighed Travis aggrivatedly.
"Travis, I've had enough. You've been warned several times," said Ms. Turk.
"I'm sorry about this," said Cole. "I'll "talk" with him. Come on, Travis."
Travis got up and followed his very irate father out of the office. Travis was really upset now. Why was his stupid principal always picking on him?
When they got back to the penthouse Travis parked himself on the couch. Having another "I want to go to my room and not talk to you" fight with Cole would be pretty useless. He was in a lot of trouble this time.
"What is with you?" Cole started. "Do you just wake up and decide you want to ruin everything?"
"How'd you guess?" replied Travis sarcastically.
"I KNOW you aren't taking some tone with me. Get this through your head. I'm your father and I have a responsibility over you."
"You know what, Dad? I'm sorry."
"You are?"
"Yeah. I'm sorry I was ever born to creep like you!"
Cole became pissed off. He yanked Travis up by the wrist and glared into his eyes.
"If you ever talk that way to me again you'll never be able to sit down. Now go to your room. You're grounded for a month."
Travis, with angry silence, stomped into his bedroom and slammed the door hard.
"Whoa," someone said. Travis turned around and saw Odium. "That was a family drama."
"I made my choice," said Travis. "I want to join you."
"That I wasn't expecting. But. . welcome aboard!" said Odium.
"Let's go," said Travis angrily. With that Odium shimmered out of the room with Travis.
