What do I really know about my friends' families? Theresa pondered silently as everyone sat eating breakfast. Her strange vision still troubled her. What had happened to Atlanta's mother? Horrible ideas brewed in her mind and she tried to push them away. She knew herself what it was like to lose her mother. Tears welled up in her eyes as she remembered the last few moments of her mother's life.
"Everything all right?" Jay asked, noticing Theresa's distress. His eyes locked with hers and for a moment her worries drifted away.
Regaining her focus, Theresa replied, "Yeah, I'm just tired." She yawned for added effect.
He started yawning too, as did everyone else. Theresa hated contagious yawns. "Yeah, well, we should get ready for school."
Archie groaned. "Great. Another day of studying learning, and Mr. Darwin. Then we come home and fight Cronus. Can't wait."
"Oh, cheer up Archie," Atlanta said, nudging him in the arm. "We've got gym today and Mr. Kartit says we're doing sprints today."
"Sprints?" Archie asked, his interest growing. "You're going down, missy."
Atlanta rolled her eyes. "In your dreams."
"Yeah, it'll be so easy I could do it in my sleep," Archie retorted.
"Ha, ha. Come on, let's go," Atlanta said, ushering us towards the door.
Taking a step towards the door, Theresa felt the familiar burst of light rush into her head. The pain leaked through her head. She tried to scream, but she had no voice to do it.
Finally, the light dimmed and the pain subsided. Theresa was back at Atlanta's house, and in the corner, she saw Atlanta.
She looked terrified. Her face was tight, and she had her arms around her knees, trying desperately not to be seen. It was strange to see a usually bold Atlanta so timid and afraid.
Theresa glanced over at the calendar. March 25, 1996.
To her left, Theresa heard a hoarse yell.
"I HAD IT! NO MORE OF THIS! NO ONE EVER HELPS IN MY TIME OF NEED!"
It was Atlanta's mother, with a huge look of rage on her face.
Her husband ran up to her, trying to calm her down.
"Dear, calm down," Atlanta's father said sweetly as he could under the circumstances. "Listen, you need help. The headaches are too frequent now and yesterday you could barely see the magazine you were reading."
"I'M FINE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Atlanta's mother screamed, shoving him a side. She stalked up stairs and they heard a door slam.
Atlanta ran out of her hiding place into her father's loving arms. Tears poured down her face like a river. "Daddy, what's wrong with Mommy?"
Her father's face was shocked and his eyes were very distant, as though he could see the outcome of this horrible event. He had no way to explain it to her.
Theresa felt herself being shaken and she could here Jay's voice from somewhere above her. She was on the ground, and all her team-mates were standing around her.
"Theresa, Theresa! Are you okay?" Jay cried, noticing that she was slowly awakening.
Theresa groaned, sitting upright. She looked around at her team-mates faces. She tried to speak, but no words came out.
"Was it a vision?"
Theresa's cringed at hearing Atlanta's voice after what she had just seen.
"Yeah, just a little vision, nothing to be concerned about," Theresa explained hurriedly, not wanting to describe what she had seen. However, she noticed that everyone seemed to know it was something major.
"Well, if you're okay," Jay said hesitantly (Theresa nodded encouragingly), "Then let's head for school."
Together they headed for the door. Atlanta glanced over at the calendar and her face dropped. Theresa looked over at the calendar. March 25. Hmm...
