Chapter Two – Premonitions of Truth
Wyatt looked into Chris' eyes, not saying anything, just concern. Then the phone rang. It rang again; Wyatt hesitantly got up and went to the phone.
"Hello?" Wyatt said into the phone.
"Hey
Wyatt!" Said the voice on the phone, "It's Jason. Is Chris
around? He was suppose to met us at Pizza Hut a half an hour
ago."
"Hey Jason," Wyatt said, he looked over at Chris who
was now hugging his knees. "Chris is really unavailable right now."
Wyatt
saw his brothers face go down on the top of his knees and shudders
begin to shake.
"Oh," Jason replied over the other end of the
phone.
"Look I really got to go, bye!" Wyatt turned the phone off and put on the table and sprinted back to Chris and knelt down by the floor.
"Hey buddy," Wyatt said putting his arm around his brothers neck, "What happen? You know you can tell me anything."
Chris
looked up at his brother, with two tears going down his face. He just
looked into his brother' strong, bold, face, with nothing but he
wanted to tell he just couldn't.
"I can't." Chris
replied.
"Why?" Wyatt asked. Chris didn't say anything he
just put his head back into his knees.
The
back kitchen door opened and Phoebe and Piper had walked through.
Piper had just come from a hard day at P3 where the biggest band in
the country right now, Final Decent, a popular punk band had just
performed, and Phoebe from the Bay Mirror.
"Phoebe all I need
right now is nice warm bath." Piper said putting her purse down on
the dinning room table.
"Amen to that." Phoebe said
The two of them walked from the kitchen and into the dinning room there they saw Wyatt knelling by his younger brother, Chris on the floor in front of the doors.
"It's
going to be okay, no one is going to hurt you know." Wyatt
said
"It's too late for that."
Wyatt was taken back.
Piper
and Phoebe stopped, slowly they walked over. Chris didn't notice
that his mother, Piper, and his aunt, Phoebe, had arrived.
"Wyatt."
Piper said from the stairs.
Wyatt turned around and saw his mother
and aunt. He got up; looking his brother he walked over to
them.
"What happened?" Piper said.
"I don't know. I
found him like this when I got home." He replied.
Phoebe's
empathy power instantly kicked in, she grabbed Piper by the shoulder
and nearly fell to the floor.
"What?" Piper said
"What's going on?" Wyatt asked
"Chris," She said with tears in her eyes, "He's absolutely terrified, scared, I never felt anything like this in my life."
"Sit down." Piper helped her sister to the stair. "Stay here." She told Wyatt. Piper then walked over to her son and sat down on the floor. Chris still had his head on his knees, but he turned his head so he didn't face his mother. He couldn't tell her this, it would destroy her.
"Sweetie, what happened?" Piper said
Chris
sniffled and continued to look at the wall.
"Nothing." He
lied.
"Nothing?" Piper said looking at Chris, who was staring
at the floor, and then she looked at Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to have
the same look and then she shook her head. No.
"Honey, you're crying over nothing?" Piper said
"I am not crying!" Chris snapped.
"Okay,
okay, calm down. What happened?"
Silence.
"I won't tell
anyone, just our little secret." Piper said sitting closer to her
son, whispering it into his ear.
Chris breathed deeply, he couldn't tell her, it was just one of those things you don't tell your mother. He lifted his head, but not before wiping a stray tear from his right eye.
Chris
looked at his mother, "I was-"He stopped.
"Yes?" Piper
said replied listening.
"I was-was-"Chris stopped again, and
then it hit him, "I was second in my meet today. I missed out on
the Gold again."
"Oh." Piper said taken back. She then
looked up at Phoebe, she seemed calmer and Wyatt looked at Chris
really taken back.
Phoebe got up with her nephews help and walked over with Wyatt.
"You're
crying-"Piper stopped
"I AM NOT CRYING!" Chris snapped,
louder this time.
"Okay, chill. You're upset that you got
another silver?"
"Yes, I really thought I had the gold."
"Oh."
Piper said, Phoebe and Wyatt were standing over Chris.
"Can you
all stop standing over me!" Chris said, "GOD!" he sighed
loudly, he stood up, and walked to the stairs. As Chris walked down
the foyer he didn't looked at Phoebe, but as he passed Wyatt he
made a look as if he was asking 'help me'. He began to walk down
the foyer, and Phoebe followed.
"Chris, honey!" Phoebe said,
Chris turned around.
"What?"
He snapped
"Okay, first drop the attitude; we are trying to help
you. Obviously you aren't upset because you came in second. Hell
you were bouncing off the wall last month when you got two silvers
and a bronze at the last months meets." Phoebe said almost yelling,
"Now you know that I know that I felt your emotions and you were
freaking terrified, so what happened."
Chris
looked at her stunned. She was right, he was happy that he stopped
getting the certificates and the occasional bronze but two silvers
and a bronze; it was one of the highlights of his high school career.
He turned his shoulder.
"CHRIS!" Phoebe said grabbing his
shoulder and then she was dragged into a premonition.
….it
was black, she couldn't see anything only hear.
"oh god."
She heard, "Yes, yes, oh god yes!"
a muffled whimper and
scream. Then a door
Opened and closed and a man had run out…
Phoebe opened her eyes, confused. Chris who seemed to know what she had just seen, but Phoebe didn't look terrified so she probably hadn't seen the whole thing. Phoebe just looked at Chris. Chris who seemed to have tears coming to his eyes again, ran up to his room and slammed the door.
Phoebe
turned around and faced her sister and nephew.
"Well what did
you see?" Piper said
"I
am not sure." Phoebe said, "it was weird. I heard breathing.
Someone was breathing really hard and sounding like they were doing
it."
"Doing it?" Piper and Wyatt both said
"I don't know. But it ended with a man running from the room, and the door closing." She said
"Okay, so you had a premonition about people having sex?" Wyatt said
"Yeah I think." Phoebe said
"Maybe it was a premonition if one of your past experiences." Piper said
"Off of Chris?" She asked raising her eye brow, "I highly doubt that."
"Well Chris says he's fine, so he's fine." Piper said
"What!"
Wyatt asked
"Wyatt I know, but Chris doesn't want to talk
about it, after he blew up a few months ago I can just ask him in the
morning. So relax."
Wyatt was then suddenly furious. He grabbed
his backpack and duffle, and went up stairs.
Phoebe and Piper both
stood down stairs and were reminded of who had gotten through Adult
Chris; Victor.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chris ran into his room, and slammed the door behind him. He then lost it and broke down, he slid down on his door, and cried into his knees. Chris couldn't remember the last time he cried, probably not sense he was like five years old. He grabbed his head, and cried harder into his knees.
Wyatt reached the landing of the stairs, and he looked at Chris door and he walked forward. He was about to open it, but then, he stopped. He backed away, but before he walked away, he heard Chris. Wyatt stepped closer to the door, listening, he could hear his brother crying.
"Why?" Chris said to himself, "Why me?" He cried harder.
Without knowing Wyatt knocked on the door, and called for his brother.
Chris looked up,
he got real quiet. "Go Away."
"Chris, Can I am in?"
"No,
just go away please." He cried, "…just go away." Wyatt almost
had the nerve of orbing in there, but he didn't. He backed away
from the door and went into his room.
