The Eye

Chapter 3: What am I Seeing?

(Two Hours Later at the Tang Residence)

Trixie Tang lay on her bed sobbing. She had just killed her friend after having a vision of her dying about two hours ago.

Veronica was my best friend. I could trust her with all my secrets and we went almost everywhere together. What am I going to do without her? (Trixie's thoughts)

"Trixie honey?" Mr. Tang asked from the doorway, "can I come in?"

"Yes, Daddy," Trixie said and sat up and sniffled.

Mr. Tang entered to see his daughter with reddened eyes and a red tear streaked face. He really pitied her.

"How is my little darling?" Mr. Tang asked sweetly as he sat beside her.

"I'm okay Daddy," Trixie said softly, "you did postpone the trip for me right?" she asked.

"The trip to Jamaica is postponed until you feel better," Mr. Tang comforted her, "I'm really sorry about Veronica."

"It was all my fault," Trixie said tearfully, "I told the driver to backup and that killed her," she whined.

"It was an accident Trixie," Mr. Tang said firmly.

"But…" Trixie started to say.

"And you won't say differently, "I'm already trying to compensate Veronica's parents over their loss," he told her, "the last thing I need is you falling into some depression," he said frankly, "I love you darling," he said softly and touched her face, "don't blame yourself for an unfortunate accident," he added.

"But I saw it," Trixie said suddenly.

"What?" Mr. Tang asked in surprise.

"I saw it happen," Trixie told him, "I saw her die," she added.

Mr. Tang was absolutely shocked. It made no sense; Trixie was in the car when it reversed on Veronica.

"Her screams were so loud Daddy," Trixie said in a far away voice.

Then Mr. Tang's face suddenly took on a look of calm.

"You're just suffering from your loss of a best friend," Mr. Tang comforted, "now just lie down and rest," he instructed, "I have a meeting with some really important clients," he added.

"But I saw it Daddy," Trixie persisted.

"TRIXIE TANG!" Mr. Tang shouted, "I will have no more of this talk," he ordered, "now go to bed!" he shrieked and Trixie immediately flew under the covers shaking, "just get some rest," he said calmly despite breathing heavily, "go to sleep Trixie," he told her and left the room.

Helicopter explodes. Seems to be flying over one of the Tang's family exquisite pools.

"What am I seeing?" Trixie asked herself in a tearful voice as she sank deeper into bed, "do I even want to know?"
