Looking up at the huge house in her vision, Marie had a feeling of happiness in her chest. This place looked so inviting, so what was keeping her from climbing those stairs to the front door. It wasn't the crutches thats for sure.
"Come on Marie, it's just steps." She said out loud to herself.
She didn't hear the car pull up behind her, or the door open, or the shocked voice that called her name.
"Marie?"
A hand gently fell onto her shoulder, bringing her out of her thoughts. She looked around into a pair of familiar eye's, Wyatt. It was only then did she see the second person stood by his side. A young woman who looked in her late teens to early twenties. And a woman who bore a striking resemblence to Piper, the woman from her dreams.
"What are you doing here? Staring up at my house?" Wyatt asked her. Concern showing in his eye's.
"Your house? Yo...you live here?" She said looking from Wyatt to the young woman.
"Wyatt who is this young lady? Do you know her?" The woman asked.
Wyatt was brought out of his trance, he had been gobsmacked to see her there. He looked at the woman then at Marie.
"I'm sorry, yes Prue' this is Marie, Marie, my sister Prue." Wyatt introduced.
Marie was confused, he had introduced this woman as Prue, but she looked nothing like the Prue from her dreams. Sure, she had the similar long dark hair, but the face was more like Wyatts than the woman from the dream.Shaking this Prue's hand she smiled.
"Nice to meet you Prue." Marie said, feeling a strange unnatural tightening in her chest.
"Would you like to come in Marie, you seem a little flushed.Maybe have something to eat, our mom is the greatest cook." Prue asked her.
Still in some shock she nodded and Wyatt took her hand and helped her up the stairs.The closer she got to the house, the more comfortable she felt, it was like coming home, which was unusual seeing as she had never been here before. Wyatt opened the door and helped her inside.Taking of his jacket, Prue doing the same, he called out for his mom.
Marie looked round the house from where she was stood and her eyes fell to a wall not far from the front entrance. She felt her chest tighten and her breathing speed up. That one wall was the only thing that made her feel this way.It was like her heart was trying to get out of her chest. The next thing she knew she was falling, Wyatt caught her as she blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"....I don't know why mom, she just blacked out."
"Well something must have caused it, people don't usually walk into our house and collapse into your arms, Wyatt."
"She just went mom, i promise, i saw her, one minute she was stood staring at the wall and the next, in his arms."
"Staring at the wall? Which wall?"
"The one leading into the sunroom."
Marie opened her eye's slowly.She could see Wyatt, Prue and an older woman all staring down at her. She recognised the older woman immediately. It was Piper. Although she looked a lot older than she had in her dream. She went to sit up, but Piper gently placed her hand on her shoulder.
"Shhh, shh, stay still, you're ok, my names.."
"...Piper, i know." Marie finished for her.
Piper sat up straight and looked at Wyatt and Prue. Marie knew that look, it was a look of caution.
"I know who you are, because i have been dreaming about you, and....."
Marie was cut off by the door opening and a female voice calling out.
"Sis...are you home."
"In here Paige." Piper shouted back not taking her eye's of Marie.
Paige turned the corner and took in the scene in front of her..
"What's going on here?" Paige asked.
"Who are you?" Marie said before she could stop herself.
Paige was taken aback. Who was this girl to ask who SHE was in her own sister's house.
"I'm Paige...Who are you?... Who is she?" She said looking at Marie then finally directing her question to Piper.
"This is Marie, Paige." Piper said. Motioning with her eye's to the picture on the wall by the stairs.
Paige glanced at the wall, then back to Marie, acknowledgement dawning on her face.
"Oh, hello Marie. How are you?"
Marie didn't take her eye's of Paige as she crossed the room to sit by Piper's side.
"So Marie, you said you dreamed about me...." Piper began.
But Marie wasn't in the mood for any more questions, she had to get out of there. Easing herself up of the sofa she backed out of the room.
"I'm sorry i erm... i have to leave...now."
"Marie, wait let me drive you home." Wyatt said jumping up himself.
"No...no...i'll get a cab...bye." She said and left the house.
Struggling down the steps she cursed herself for opening her mouth. Why had she gone and told Piper she had dreamed about her, and who was this Paige? She had refered to Piper as 'sis', but Marie had never seen her in her dreams before. A hand rested on her shoulder, startling her momentarily. She spun round and came face to face with Wyatt.
"Please..let me drive you...no questions. I promise." He said holding his hands in the air in mock surrender.
Try as she might she couldn't help but smile at his actions, so nodding she allowed him to open his car door for her.
On the drive home, Wyatt looked at her out of the corner of his eye. She was sat twirling her hair around her finger, and looked to be in deep thought. He wondered what about?
"Left here." She said and Wyatt turned the wheel accordingly.
"So...about what happened in the house?" He began.
"You said no questions." She replied looking straight at him.
"Ok, ok." He said.
"You look like your mom, Prue too."
Wyatt took this as an opening, and dove right in.
"I'm curious. What brought you to my house today?"
She looked at him for the longest time. Then finally spoke.
"Pull over here, and i'll tell you."
Wyatt did as she asked. and sat looking at her.
"Your going to think i'm wierd.but i feel i can trust you. Can i trust you Wyatt?"
"With your life."
"I have been having dreams, at first i didn't think anything of them. It wasn't until i had one about a place here i recognised that i finally thought long and hard about them. I have been dreaming about three women, Piper, ..." she paused and looked at him. He nodded, silently prompting her on. "Phoebe, and Prue. Last night i dreampt of P3 that's when i finally realised who the women were in my dream. That's what brought me to your house today. These dreams are confusing me. Especially, the one last night. I spoke in Prue's voice, i...." she sighed. "...i don't know if i'm cracking up or not."
He was looking at her, here was a young girl, telling him her deepest fears and he didn't know how to respond.
"I think i need to speak to my mom about this. She may be able to help you." Wyatt finally said, as he started the car up again.
After dropping her off at home Wyatt drove to a nearby supermarket , parked the car in a secluded spot, looked around and orbed out. Materializing in the attic of the manor. He went straight to the book and flipped to a page. Finding what he was looking for, he took in the knowledge he required and went to find his mom.
