Fan Fiction ❯ Love Powers All: Life or Death? ❯ Taking Charge ( Chapter 17 )

Love Powers All: Life or Death?

A/N- I made the sequel Life or Death and that part-technically-hasn't come into play, but I think that, that part will actually start in this chapter. After this chapter there will be about 8 chapters left. This fic took me longer to type. I guess that's because of school, so you can't blame me…you can only blame school XD. So it'll only take about…2-4 weeks to finish the fanfic. It depends when I get to update…I figure out how long it would take by only counting weekends.

Disclaimer- I don't own 7th Heaven :(

Summary- What is Kevin's reaction to the dream and the car in front of the house? What is Disastrous first attempt to destroy Lucy's life and family?

Chapter 17- Taking Charge

Kevin and Lucy were now seated on the bed. Lucy had just finished explaining the dream and now they were all, including Samantha, in total silence. Tension filled the room and you could feel it just by standing in the doorway, which was where Eric and Annie were standing. Lucy had called her parents and told them to come over. She had a bad feeling about the car and what the dream meant and Kevin did too.

-Kevin-

I don't know about the car out there, but I do know that last time Lucy had a dream having to do with this, something similar happened. We all need to keep a close eye open for anything suspicious…or Lucy might really lose her family.

-Lucy-

That car out there just didn't look right…I swear I've seen it before…was it at the airport? And what about the dream I had? What if I really do lose my family? And if I did, how would I? My life is turning from good to bad as everyday goes past. I just want everything to be back to normal. I only hope this dream isn't going to be like the last one, when what I dreamed was almost the exact same in life.

Annie and Eric walked into the room. Annie went to check on Samantha while Eric sat in the chair that was by the desk. Neither parent knew what to say to Lucy or Kevin. They knew something was wrong, but couldn't work up the gut to speak until Eric finally spoke.

"So…"

Lucy looked up and started to speak. She said the exact thing she had told Kevin and ended with the exact words, "I think…that this might actually happen."

"Lucy, you don't mean…" Annie fell silent when she saw her daughter nodding.

"Someone is trying to hurt us…especially me." Lucy got up and walked towards the window and looked at the car that was still parked there. Kevin and Annie looked at it as well and both saw what she saw. There was something or someone in that car and Lucy could feel a pair of eyes staring at her.

Kevin rapped his arms around her waist, but didn't say anything, since he knew Lucy knew what he'd say, and Annie hugged her. Eric wasn't exactly sure what to say, "Luce, why don't you, Kevin, and Samantha stay with us?"

"No Dad." She paused, "It's ok…maybe I'm just imagining things and this won't be like last time." At least that's what she tried to get herself to think.

Disastrous Henry sat in his car, when he saw a light flicker on, on the second story of the house. He figured it was Lucy's room. He watched for a while, until he saw a light from the distance. There was a car. He ducked that way the driver wouldn't see him, but he only ducked enough that he could see what was going on outside. The car had turned into Lucy and Kevin's driveway and now two people-a male and a female-were walking inside the house.

A few minutes later, he saw her. Disastrous Henry didn't think that he could see her, but that's where he was wrong. He could see Kevin coming up behind her. He probably told her everything would be ok and then he could see the woman hugging her. Disastrous Henry figured the two adults who had walked in was her family. He smirked at the thought he had…he knew exactly what he would do first. Then he continued looking up at Lucy.

My dear…you'll be mine soon.

Annie and Eric had left the house and Lucy and Kevin were back in their bed. The lights in their room were still on as they lay in their bed silently. Kevin turned out the light and turned to face Lucy.

"I'll look at the car tomorrow…if it's still there." He paused, "You're right…there's something about that car that makes me feel like someone's watching.

"Kevin, someone is watching." She said as she wiped a tear that started sliding down her cheek.

"I won't let anything happen to you or Sammy." He said pulling Lucy up close to her.

"What about the rest of the family?"

"I won't let anything happen, to anyone."

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

- - - - -

The sunlight shone through the window of the bedroom. Lucy moaned as she felt the light hit her face. Samantha had woken her and Kevin up many times that day and now it was the sun's turn. She lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling.

Kevin who was facing her smiled, "Hey sweetie." She smiled back and kissed him.

"When are you going to work?" Kevin stretched.

"Well you have morning classes, so I'm taking the afternoon shift."

"Alright," Lucy got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower, just as Samantha started crying.

"Sammy." She whined as she turned around.

"I'll take care of her; you go get ready for classes." Lucy went back to the bathroom and turned on the bathroom.

When Lucy was done getting dress, Kevin and Samantha were already in the kitchen eating. Kevin was feeding Samantha with a bottle and had a cup of coffee in front of him. Lucy got herself a cup of coffee and sat across the table from Kevin.

"Are you going to be ok?" Lucy said gathering all her things that lay on the table.

"I'll be fine." Lucy stood and starting going to the door, "Drive safely."

"I will." She stopped as she opened the door, "I love you."

"I love you too."

Right when she did it. Right when she stepped out that door, she marked the end of her past life.

Lucy stepped into her car and placed the key into the ignition. She then backed up and went to the Glen Oak Community College. Henry's head jolted up from his sleep as he heard the car. She was gone.

Kevin was watching the car out the window. He watched as it left shortly after Lucy and he watched to make sure he wasn't following Lucy. He looked down at Samantha and sighed, "I hope your mom is going to be ok, Sam."

Eric, Simon, and Ruthie weren't home. Eric went to the church and Simon and Ruthie had gone to school for the day. Annie and the twins were the only ones at the house when Henry turned into the driveway. He had the perfect plan to get what he wanted. He stepped out of the car and headed towards the house. When he rang the doorbell Annie, followed by the twins, answered the door.

"Hello."

"Hi, you must be Mrs. Camden?"

"Yes, do you want to come in?" Annie said moving from the doorway.

"No, it's ok. I'm a friend of Lucy's." He said looking down at the twins." He reached into the pocket of his coat and smiled down at Sam and David, "Here you go." Annie, who seemed oblivious to what was going on let Henry give the twins the, what she thought was a lollypop, to the twins.

The twins started to eat it as Annie started to talk to Henry, "She doesn't live here anymore." Just then he pulled out a gun and hit Annie aside the head with it. He caught her before she could fall and ran to the car and almost threw her in. Then he went towards the twins.

"You're a very bad man."

"A bad man," They through their lollypops down on the ground, but Henry picked them up and put them into the car's trunk.

He went to his side of the car, and drove off. He drove to the first place he thought of.

A few hours later Ruthie came home finding the door open. She looked over at Peter who was walking with her. They both exchanged glances and ran into the house.

Ruthie and Peter looked around the house. They didn't find anyone. Ruthie was about to call Kevin, when Simon walked in

"What's going on?"

"Mom, Sam, and David are missing." Ruthie said putting the phone up to her ear.

"Kevin? It's Ruthie."

"Hey Ruthie,"

"Mom, Sam, and David are missing."

"Maybe they went out."

"But the door was open!"

"I'll call Lucy, and Roxanne and I will be there soon."

- - - - -

Lucy was about to feed Samantha when the phone rang. She put her down and ran to the phone, "Hello?"

"Luce, it's Kevin." She knew something was wrong by the sound of his voice.

"Hey Kev,"

"Ruthie just called. She said Annie, Sam, and David weren't there…"

"Maybe…"

"The door was open. I'm going there now."

"I'll go there too."

Lucy got Samantha dressed and went to the Camden's house. The house she grew up at looked different now. Ruthie, Peter, and Simon were sitting on the front porch, and Kevin's police car was there. Eric had just gotten to the house and was talking to Kevin and Roxanne. Lucy got out of the car and picked up Samantha from her car seat before heading to where her brother and sister were.

The disaster…had started.

A/N- How did you like the chapter? I think it was ok, but it wasn't the best…the part about Henry taking Sam, David, and Annie wasn't very good, but as long as everyone else likes it. I'm going to make a sequel called Haunting Memories and it's going to take place 13 years after this fanfic, but that won't be until one of my other fics is done. Please R&R!
