The oceans waves glistened in the sunlight. I walked down the beach.
Someone swiftly wrapped their arms around my waist with the most gently
touch.
"Hey sweetness," he whispered into my ear.
I turned and faced the one who I loved.
"Leo," I said my voice barely above a whisper.
"I guess you haven't heard," he said walking a little closer.
"Heard what? How are you here? Why are you here?" I asked.
He put his hand on my face and I looked into his eyes.
"Something happened. I died sweetie," He said softly.
A single tear trickled down my face and he wiped it off.
"It's alright. Everything is alright. I'm here."
"How long?"
"You have to wake up now. It's time for me to go."
"When will I see you?" I asked.
"Soon. Until next time, Kat," He kissed me lips then slipped my lost ring on my finger.
I awoke and saw that the sun was up and Prue was still asleep. The memories of the dream flooded into my mind. It was him. He was the only one who called me Kat. So it was true then. My love, was dead. Another tear went down my face. He wasn't here this time to wipe it off.
"It was just a dream," I told myself.
I didn't believe it though. I got up and went to the downstairs bathroom. I turned on the cold water and washed my face.
'Today is going to be a long day,' I thought.
Boy was I right. Prue and I were the first in the kitchen. We were still searching for a way out of here. I wanted to tell Prue about my dream, but something was holding me back.
"Okay I have to tell you something," I finally said.
"What?" She asked looking up.
"Leo came to me in my dream last night, My Leo of course," I said.
"What did he say?" Prue asked.
I had this history of having my dreams become truth.
"He said that he died. When I asked if I would see him again he said soon. Then he slipped a ring on my finger from when we were together. I gave it to him before I moved," I said.
"Like that ring?" Prue asked holding up my hand.
There was the ring. Right on the finger that he had placed it on. The ring I hadn't seen for 5 years about.
"Oh my god," I said standing. "How the hell? That means he was telling the truth."
"Piper, you can't assume he's dead. Sure the ring is a huge hint but...." Prue said. "I really didn't sound convincing did I?"
"Nope. I don't even think there is a way to convince me with this on my finger," I said.
"Let me see it," Prue said.
I back sat down and she looked at the ring. It had the triquetra on the middle and the band was a rope design. The inside said: to my love Kat.
"He give it to you?" Prue asked.
"Yeah," I answered taking my hand back.
"He has good taste. Imagine what the wedding ring will look like," Prue said leaning back.
"I can't really marry a dead guy Prue," I said getting frustrated. "If we only didn't come here. I could check if it has happened. I wouldn't like to knock on his door one day then find out he's dead. I mean I really need to know if he's dead or not, right now."
"Who died?" Phoebe asked coming in. "Well, who else died?"
"We don't know," Prue said.
"Huh?" Phoebe asked.
I explained the dream to her.
"Love the ring," Phoebe said. "Imagine the wedding ring."
"Exactly what I said," Prue laughed.
"Talk to Leo when he gets back. He might know," Phoebe suggested.
"I don't think were exactly on good terms at the moment," I said.
Phoebe instantly realized. "Oh."
"To bad Pai-" Prue started.
"Not yet," I said. "Wait till after the funeral."
*****
Same beach. Same ocean. Same gentle touch.
"Its time to go Kat," he said again.
"When will we be able to do this? For real?" I asked.
"Soon my love."
I woke up from my nap on the couch.
"What the hell is Soon supposed to mean," I asked aloud.
"Usually means it's going to happen in a short amount of time," Prue smirked walking in.
"You don't have to be a smart ass," I said.
"It's who I am," Prue sat on the couch across from me. "What were you wondering about?"
"He was in my dream. I asked when we would be ale to do this in real life. He said soon," I explained.
Leo orbed in.
"Sorry about earlier. Hadn't really seen you," I said to him before he could say anything.
"Right back at you," He said.
"Now that that's cleared up. So he came to you in your dream, again, and said that you would be together in real life?" Prue asked.
"Soon," I added.
"Soon," Prue said. "How long is soon?!"
"Or how soon is now," I smirked.
"Now who's being the smart ass," Prue said.
"Touche," I said.
"Okay. What are you two talking about?" Leo asked sitting on the other end of my couch.
We explained it all to him.
"Tonight if he come again, ask for something else. If he gives something to you and it's there when you awake, he' probably telling the truth," Leo said.
"Alright," I said.
*****
We met on the beach. Sitting on a blanket, resting in each other's arms. He took out a box.
"I thought you might need more proof. I was thinking of sending it to you for your birthday, but I didn't make it. So Happy Birthday," he said.
I opened the box. There was a necklace, and an old dog collar. The necklace was
Melinda's. The dog collar was our dog Prujo's. We hand her while Melinda was alive.
"Awake. We shall be together soon. In your realm," he said.
I woke up holding the box. I looked over at the sleeping Prue. I woke her up.
"What?" She asked.
"He's telling the truth," I said.
*****
"How do you know he's telling the truth though?" Prue asked.
Leo, Phoebe, Piper, and us two were in the living room.
"Okay I had a sister Melinda. We moved after she died. This is her necklace. She was buried in it. The collar was our old dog who got put to sleep. He couldn't have gotten these," I said.
"And yet your holding them," Piper said.
"Yea," I said.
