Chapter 19 - Complicated
"Phoebe," I heard Piper yell as I walked through the door.
"Yea, it's me," I called, slamming the door and walking upstairs. I walked into her room and sat on her bed. "So how was your date with the god of all hotness?"
"I had a good time," She said and smiled. She didn't even pick up on the fact that I'd read her diary - The god of all hotness was one of the ways she'd referred to Leo.
"Piper!"
"I said we had a good time." Huh. If I was looking for details I ain't getting any. "How was your date?" She added.
I rolled my eyes. Did she actually listen to anything any of us said lately?
"I didn't have one." I replied.
"Really? I thought I saw you and Todd dancing ..." She said and smiled at me.
"Yeah ... but that - that was - you know - just a dance. At a dance."
"So why are you all weird?"
I sighed and laid down. "This new power. It's driving me crazy."
"Why?"
"Because ... I kept feeling things ... that weren't mine. When he picked me up, I felt weird ... like ... like you know when you see chocolate, and you just want it really, really bad? Like that. And when we met up with the others, I felt disappointed ... that we weren't alone." I admitted. "But I don't want to be alone with him. Honestly. And when we were dancing ..." I sighed again. "I felt awkward, but really, really happy."
"So ... which was you and which was him?" She asked, confused.
"I think he likes me." I said finally. She smiled again. "This is so complicated." I sighed.
"So is life. Try to relax." She told me. "It'll all blow over ... I mean he's a thirteen year old boy. He'll get over it."
"Leo's a fifteen year old boy." I told her. "But he didn't look like he was gonna get over you anytime soon." A pink flush crept up her cheeks.
"Wh - What?"
"I saw you on the porch just now." I said slyly. "He couldn't keep his hands off you."
"I - I - Where were you?" She stammered finally. I grinned at her.
"Todd's dad dropped us off." I told her. "And when I got out, I saw you two. I thought it best not to interrupt." She went even redder. "Well, see you." I said, standing up. "I'm going to call Paige."
"Don't you think it's a little late?" Piper asked me.
"No. I said I'd call her when we got home." I sighed. "I kinda wish I'd just stayed home with her. I mean, we only just got her home -"
"I know." She said seriously. "But she wanted to go to Glens tonight, don't forget."
"True. We wouldn't have let her stay alone with him anyway." I said. She nodded, knowing I was referring to Sevron.
"OK. Tell her we love her."
"Will do." I stepped into the hall and scooped up the phone. I was halfway through dialling Glen's number, when he walked to the top of the stairs. Sevron. He smirked at me.
"Calling the half-breed?"
"She is not a half-breed." I told him. "She is our sister, and she is worth a million of you. More." He gave a little shrug, and continued walking forward. As I was deciding to lock him in the basement first chance I got, I felt that feeling again. The one I'd had a few days ago, like nothing I'd ever felt before. Hate, really strong hate. And ... I can't explain it. As he brushed past me, I felt myself jump as an electric shock ran through me.
Sevron was in some kind of dark cave, flaming torches illuminating the walls. Several people were around him.
"Are you sure you can do this?" One of them asked. Sevron gave that creepy smirk.
"Of course I can. I tricked Penny all those years ago, didn't I?"
I shuddered as the cave and Sevron dissolved, returning to the hall wall - and Sevron.
"What did you see?" He asked me nervously.
"Uh - a ca - How did you know?" I asked him suddenly.
"Oh - I - guessed."
"Really?" I muttered sarcastically.
"What did you see?" He repeated.
"Wouldn't you like to know." I replaced the phone and walked into my room. I was shaking by the time I'd closed the door. Something didn't feel right about our dear old granddad.
The front door opening and closing alerted me to Prue's return. Gladly, I opened my bedroom door - and gasped. Sevron was still stood in the hall where I'd left him. I shook my head a little. For a moment, I thought I'd seen ... never mind.
"Prue!" I yelled, running down the stairs.
"Wait!" Sevron yelled after me, grabbing me roughly by the arm.
What is with this guy?
