Craving Forgiveness

"What do you mean?" Erik asked in a confused tone.

"I..I saw a man. I think he was dead and some guys used some kinda ritual to bring him back to life. He looked at me. It's like he showed me the future. I saw you and him and some other people you were doing something bad."

"Bad?"

"You were destroying everything. Ruining cities. People were drying." Tears fell from your eyes,"So many people."

He walked over to you and cupped your cheek,"You know I would never do that. I could never do it."

"I know it was..it just seemed so real."

"Well you don't need to worry about me. But perhaps you should talk to Charles. If what you saw is true and happening soon we'll need to be prepared."

You nodded and yawned.

"Okay darling, time to get you to bed."

You nodded and walked into the bedroom and crawled into bed.

Erik climbed in beside you and kissed your forehead. "Goodnight my love."

After you fell asleep you had another vision.

It was that man again. This time he had people with him. They were planning something. Something bad.

You rolled over in bed and tried to push the thoughts away.

Looking at the clock you realized that it was almost 9am and you needed to see Charles ASAP.

You climbed out of bed, washed up and carried the kids out to the car.

Erik still laid in bed asleep.

He was really taken aback by the fact that you had told him someone was coming for him.

He needed time alone to think.

You slid into the drivers seat and looked back at your still sleeping twins.

You faintly smiled before starting up the car and pulling off.

After about 15 minutes you were pulling up to the mansion.

You woke the kids, they were so excited and squirmed around in their seats until you unbuckled them and they ran up to the door and rang the bell.

After a minute the door opened and Hank smiled and scooped them up in his arms.

"Uncles Bees." They cheered in unison.

You fought the temptation to roll your eyes at their silliness.

"Hey Hank." You greeted.

He smiled and looked over at you before his smile slightly faded,"Gee Atarah. You look exhausted."

You smiled,"and that is why I'm here besides the fact that the kids have been bugging me all week to being them over.
Is Charles around?"

He nodded and informed you that Charles was having breakfast.

You left the kids with Uncle Bees and strolled over to the kitchen.

"Atarah!" Charles greeted before you walked in.

"Charles!" You copied and entered the room.
