"Hey, Pheebs, What's up?" I ask trying to hold the phone between my ear and shoulder asI drive. Probobly not the safest idea.
"Did you get my message?" she asks sounding rushed.
"No, it was too staticky to hear." I answer.
"It was about Daryl's case. Someone is killing off children." Phoebe says
"Who would do that?" I ask worried. I'm on my way to check up on Christina right now.
"I'm guessing a demon," She says whispering the 'demon' part, and speaking to me as if I was an idiot. I guess she's in public because of the whispering, "because the labotamies are showing no reasons of death."
"They're just dying?" I ask
"Yeah, he took me down to the morgue to see them. You know get a premonition. It was the creepiest thing seeing all those poor kids." Phoebe says. This conversations making me feel sick.
"Look,I can be home in half an hour. I'll cut my visit with Christina short." I say
"Thanks, in the meen time I'm going through the book." She says hanging up. I drop my phone, and drive over to where Christina is. I knock on the door, and her Mrs. Kline let's me in.
"She's out back playing with Donnie." she says
"Where's Mr. Kline?" I ask
"He'll be at work until six." She smiles as she leads me into the back yard where Christina's running around in a tie die baithingsuit with a squirt gun aiming at the older brother who's reading a magazine with his sunglasses on. The're is also a small puppy hanging around the brother.
"Paige!" She says running over to me the second she sees me. She wrapps her arms around me and gives me a huge hug. It feels so good that I don't even care that I'm getting all wet.
"So, are you having fun?" I ask my eyes scanning her arms and legs for any bruising or signs of abuse.
"Yeah," she says noding vehemenly.
"Are they treating you well?" I ask
"They make me go to bed at nine fifteen." She says sounding a little annoyed.
"I would have said eight thirty." I say. She puts her hands on her hips and glares at me.
"Alright, I have to go but I'll be back to see you in a week. Is that alright?" I ask. She nods.
"And do you still have the card I gave you with my phone number on it incase you need me?" I ask
"Of course." she says with a big smile. So big that I can see she's missing two teeth. I scan her one more time for any odd signs, and the only thing I notice is she's starting to develop dark circles under her eyes. They're very light, but I can see.
"Make sure you get enough sleep, and don't drink too much soda." I say.
"You sound just like Mrs. Kline." She shakes her head.
"See you soon." I say giving her a last hug.I talk to Mrs. Kline briefly then I rush home. Once I open the door the house is totaly quiet.
"Phoebe?" I call wondering if she's even home.
"In the living room." she calls.
"So what's up?" I ask
"I haven't found anything." she says holding her head with the book on her lap.
"What did you see in your premonition?" I ask
"Nothing. Just all the kids with their family's having fun." She says. She lookes up at me with tired eyes.
"Are you all right?" I ask her. She also looks a bit pale.
"It's just really sad seeing them all alive playing with their brothers and dads." she says
"Was there anything the same about all the kids or the parents?"I ask
"Nothing I can think of." She says.
"Keep thinking about it." I say getting up to answer the knocking at the door. I open it to see Cole standing outside.
"What are you doing out there?" I ask
"I can't exactly orb anymore." He rolls his eyes, "Phoebe called. She said she had something important to tell me." he says
"Oh she's in there." I say pointing down the hall. I go upstairs. I don't need to hear the demon story twice.
I decide to take a shower, and maybe primp a bit, and try to see Glen.
Halfway through my shower there's a banging on the door.
"I'm in here." I call anoyed.
"It's important." Phoebe says. I shut off the water, and wrap myself in a towel before opening the door.
"What?" I ask
"All the family members had blue eyes." she says
"Coincidence?" I ask
"I don't think so, and all the kids had huge dark circles under there eyes." she says
"Could you not have waited ten minutes to tell me this." I say trying to ignore the sting in my eyes from shampoo driping down my face. She glares at me.
"Cole and I are going back to the store to clean up your mess. We'll be back later." she says.
"Have fun," I say sarcasticaly before going back into the shower. As I finish conditioning my hair it dawns on me. Christina had dark circles...or well they were forming.
I jump out of the shower, and get dressed as fast as I can. I'm going back to Christina's house. I rush back to the Kline's and nock on the door.
"Is there a problem, Ms. Mathews?" Mr. Kline answers the door. His eyes are a blueish grey color, and I wonder if he's the demon. I should have brought Piper so she could freeze him, and we could take a skin sample.
"No, just back for another visit. Can I come in?" I ask
"Sure," He answers leading me to their kitchen where they're all sitting down for dinner.
"Paige. I thought you wouldn't be here for another week." Christina says looking at me oddly. I scan the mother, and notice nothing unusual about her eyes. I look over at the brother, but he's turned around and heading up the stairs. No one seems to be bothered by this.
"Is Donnie alright?" I ask looking up the steps.
"Of coarse." Christina asks looking at me oddly once again. Maybe I am just paranoid.
