White lights. All I see is white and yellow. I see people wearing yellow robes that cover their face. Where could I be?
Piper sat up from the bed she laid for what seems like years. Standing up, she looked at herself in a white hospital gown.
Where the heck am I? What am I doing here?
Taking her stand, she walked closer to the people in yellow robes.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
No one answered. They came on minding their own business and walking away from me. I want to go home. I want to be in Leo's arm and not here. I want to be close to family and HERE is not home.
A tear shred itself from Piper's eyes and race itself down her cheek. In a blink of an eye, someone in yellowish robe stood next to Piper, making her jump.
"Piper, I'm glad you're wakening yourself."
Blinking continuously, she replied, "But I don't understand. Why am I here?"
"Piper, you've wander through dangerous stages in your life. We put you in this life because of one thing..."
"But why did you HAVE to choose me? I've put my life through risks and now the cancer!" Piper cried.
"You have no cancer, Piper."
"No cancer? But ...how could that be? The doctor ..."
"A doctor? HA. Piper, you're life is so perfect. It's a challenge for us to even see you in such pain."
"You know about pain? Did you know how much it hurts me to know I was diagnosed with the cancer? Did you know? Of course not because look at you, whoever you are. You're this unknown PERSON that has no life at all to know such pain! And you're telling me there's no such DOCTOR?" Piper threw up her hands and cried again.
"Piper, we knew, we all knew how you felt about it. We FELT your pain, your sorrows, and your joy. We wanted to stop THEM from putting you in such position. But we couldn't."
"Them? Stop right there. First of all (she wipes away her tears and put her hands on her hips), who the heck are you and the OTHERS that you mention?"
"We are whitelighters."
"Whitelighters?"
"Whitelighters are like guardian angels to witches only, of course. People like you are our charge and whom we protect from demons."
"You must be joking! There's no such thing as guardian angels or witches or demons." Pipers laugh and stop, looking at the serious face. "You're not joking, are you?"
"Of course I'm not joking. We, whitelighters, don't joke about our job. We committed our rebirth lives to protect others such as you. No joke."
"Now, tell me ..."
"Call me Todd."
"Okay, tell me Todd, who are the "them" you were talking about?"
"'Them' are elders. Not elders as in old people walking with cranes. Elders are high class whitelighters who have more charges and have more responsibilities. They send out laws or rules to the regular whitelighters. No other can be higher than THEM."
"I see. Now tell me ..."
"I've must not say any more, Piper. Your time with us has expired and you shall not say much. But before you leave this place, know that your life is in our hands and with that we shall take good care of you. No other can."
"Todd, wait a second." With that, Todd orbed out without letting Piper ask her question. And within just seconds, things reverse itself and Piper seeing herself backtrack back to the bed and lying herself down and finally closed her eyes like it was just a movie ... a film that might just end.
