Tru shot up in bed with a gasp. She looked beside her and saw Luke looking at her concerned.

“Tru, what’s the matter. You were completely out.” Luke told her.

“W-Weird dream.” She answered.

“What was it about?” Luke asked.

“It doesn’t matter.” There was a knock at the front door and Tru got up, remembering what had happened in what she believed was a dream. When she opened the door, she saw Chris standing there like the day before in his uniform.

“You’re late. Josh is gonna bitch.” Chris told her.

“I-I’ll be right back.” Tru said, running into her room and changing into her uniform quickly and walking out the front door. They got into the car and Chris drove to the diner. When they walked in, Josh was there waiting.

“You’re late.” He told them.

“I know. I overslept.” Tru told him.

“It better not happen again. Get to work.” He said as he disappeared into his office.

“Just let me hit him once.” Chris begged. Tru froze for a moment. It was just like her dream.

“Wh-What did you say.” Tru asked.

“I said just let me hit him once.” Chris said looking over at her curiously. “You alright?”

“Yeah, just had a weird dream last night.” Tru told him.

“What happened?” Chris asked. Tru looked up at him, there was something in his eyes that made Tru think Chris knew something but just shook off that feeling and shrugged.

“Doesn’t matter. We got stuff to do.” Tru said clocking in and walking over to a table where a couple sat. She paused for a second, recognizing them from her dream. She shook it off as nothing since they came in regularly and took their orders before going into the kitchen and handing the order to Dan the cook. She walked out and stood behind the counter looking around.

“Tru, you got him?” Chris asked, pointing to the corner. Tru turned and saw John sitting there, very much alive. She paused for a second, not able to move. “Tru.”

“Y-Yeah. I got him.” Tru nodded as she made her way from behind the counter and over to John.

“Hi, are you ready to order?” Tru asked, looking down at him. John looked up and paused for a moment. “Sir.” Tru said.

“I’m sorry, you just remind me of someone.” John told her.

“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Tru asked with a small nervous laugh.

“Good thing.” John laughed as well.

“So are you ready to order?” She asked again, confused as to what was going on.

“Just a burger, fries, and a coke please.” He responded.

“Alright, I’ll go get that for you.” Tru said walking back to the kitchen and giving Dan the new order before grabbing a coke and walking back out to John, putting the glass on the table.

“Thank you.” John said with a smile. Tru nodded and walked back into the kitchen, grabbing the couple’s orders and bringing it out to their table.

“It’s about time.” The blonde girl said in a snooty tone.

“E-enjoy.” Tru muttered before quickly heading back into the kitchen to find Chris. She found him standing by a wall waiting for his order to finish up.

“Chris, I need to talk to you.” Tru said, leading him through the backdoor.

“Tru, what is it?” Chris asked worriedly.

“Something weird is happening. I remember all this stuff happening. At first I thought it was a dream but…I don’t know how to explain it.” Tru started.

“Well do the best you can.” Chris said, putting his hands on her shoulders.

“Well, I honestly remember doing all this stuff like it was yesterday. The late start, the bitchy blonde, John.” Tru said.

“John?” Chris asked.

“The man in the corner. I talked to him a little yesterday, I mean, what feels like yesterday. Then after work you drove me home and he was in the alley dead. Then he…” Tru paused.

“He what?” Chris asked.

“He said “Save me sweetie so we can save him.” Tru told him.

“What?” Chris asked.

“I know it sounds weird but that’s what he said.” Tru said.

“But you just told me he was dead.” Chris reminded her.

“He was but he still said it. I don’t know.” Tru said, running her hands through her hair. “I think I’m going crazy.”

“You’re not crazy.” Chris told her.

“How do you know, did you hear what I just said?” Tru asked.

“You’re not crazy, I’ve known you since we were little. If you were crazy, I’d tell you.” Chris promised her, kissing the top of her head. “Come on, we’ve got a few hours left.” Tru nodded as they both walked back into the kitchen.

“Tru, order up.” Dan told her.

“Thanks Danny.” Tru said, taking the plate and walking back out and over to where John was sitting.

“Here you are, sorry for the wait.” Tru said.

“It’s no problem. Thank you Tru.” John said smiling up at her.

“Is there anything else you need?” Tru asked.

“Not right now, thank you.” John said, still looking up at her with the same look in his eyes.

“Alright, I’ll check in on you later then.” Tru gave him a smile before turning and walking over to the couple with their check before they complained like before. “Here you are, you can pay Marcus up front.” She gave them a smile before going back into the kitchen to find Chris looking at her.

“What?” Tru asked.

“Nothing.” Chris said, shaking his head.

“You do think I’m crazy.” Tru muttered.

“No I don’t.” Chris promised, hugging her. “You’re not crazy.”

“Thanks Chris.” Tru said smiling slightly.

“No prob Tru. Now we better get back to work.” Chris told her, leading her back into the front where all the costumers were. She saw that John was just about done and walked over to him.

“Is there anything else I can get you sir?” Tru asked.

“The check please.” John said.

“Alright.” Tru walked to the front, got his check and walked back over to him.

“So you must be new here. I mean, most people who come here are regulars.” Tru said.

“I’m just passing through. I found out my daughter was here and I came to see her.” John said as Tru handed him the check and they walked to the register.

“Really. How old is she?” Tru asked.

“Twenty two.” John told her, taking out a credit card and handing it to her.

“Really. That’s how old my friends and I are.” Tru said with a small smile as she swiped his card and gave it back. “Maybe I know her.”

“I’m sure you do.” John said, taking his card back, handing her a ten and walking out of the building. Tru looked confused for a second before walking back into the kitchen to get another order and walking out.

---

The rest of the day happened just as Tru had seen it before, except for Chris saying they were leaving early. Chris dropped her off about ten minutes earlier than he had before and Tru immediately ran into the alley to find John talking to a guy with a gun, reaching for his own.

“John.” Tru yelled running for John as the other guy pulled the trigger. John and Tru both fell to the ground as the bullet passed above them. John shot at the other man who just ran away now that John was no longer alone.

“How did you know my name?” John asked as they both got up.

“You told me yesterday. Well today but not today.” Tru said, confusing herself.

“You wanna run that by me again.” John said.

“This all happened yesterday except yesterday you got shot and died and asked for my help to save you so we can save him. Whoever him is.” Tru explained.

“Shit, we’ve got to go up now.” John said, running toward the front door of the complex.

“What are you talking about?” Tru asked following after him as Chris followed the both of them.

“It’s here.” John said as he ran up the stairs.

“What’s here?” Tru asked as they ran down the hall toward her apartment.

“The thing that killed my wife. Your mother.” John said as he broke the door down. The lights were off like her dream and the shower was running.

‘Please no.’ Tru said to herself as they ran into the bedroom. There was a black figure in the center of the room and Luke was sliding up the wall.

“Luke!” Tru yelled as John shot at the figure. It looked at the both of them for a second before throwing John back as Luke fell to the floor. Tru looked down at John and the looked over Luke before glaring at the figure.

“Get the hell out of my apartment. Stay the hell away from my fiancé. Stay the hell away from me!” Tru yelled. The figure looked shocked for a moment before disappearing, not by will but by force. John slowly stood up as Tru knelt down next to Luke who was unconscious. Chris walked over to them and moved Luke onto the bed as Tru moved over to the bed and sat beside him. He was still breathing, thank god. It didn’t look like the figure did anything. She kissed his cheek before walking out of the room, gesturing for Chris and John to follow her. They closed the bedroom door slightly and Tru turned on John.

“What the Hell was that?” She asked in a hard voice.

“We don’t know it’s full name but we call it the yellow eyed demon.” John told her.

“Who calls him that.” Tru asked.

“My sons and I. You’re brothers.” John said. Tru just stared at him in shock. She didn’t understand what he was talking about.

“What are you talking about?” Tru demanded.

“You’re my daughter. You were taken when you were six months old.” John told her. “The demon took you away, we don’t know why, and then gave you to Brian Michaels.” John told her.

“H-How do I know you’re telling me the truth?” Tru asked.

“He is Tru. All of it is true.” Chris told her.

“How would you know?” Tru asked, confused.

“I was sent to watch after you.” Chris told her as he disappeared in light blue orbs before appearing behind her.

“How the hell did you do that?” Tru asked, whipping around.

“Whitelighter?” John asked.

“Yes sir. My father and mother were white lighters. They had me and the elders told them that I needed to help Tru stay on her path so they brought me here.” Chris explained.

“You knew. After I told you about what my father did to me you still let me believe he was my actual father and that I had no family besides Jack who cared?” Tru said angrily.

“What did he do to you Tru?” John asked.

“Hit me. A lot.” Tru answered trying to push those memories out of her head. She looked up at John and saw the resemblance she had to the man. They had pretty much the same hair, except his hair was graying quickly. They also had the exact same eyes.

“I know you might not believe this completely…” John was cut off as Tru launched herself into his arms.

“I do.” Tru muttered into his shoulder.

“We need to get out of here now.” Chris told them.

“Why?” Tru asked, pulling away from John.

“Because you were able to make that thing disappear for now, but it’ll be back soon.” Chris told her.

“I’ve gotta get Luke out of here.” Tru said, moving back into the bedroom. When she opened the door, she found that he wasn’t on the bed anymore. Tru looked up at the ceiling and saw that he wasn’t there either. She ran into the bathroom to find that he wasn’t there either. Tru turned around and ran back into the living room.

“Luke’s gone.” Tru told them.

“Then Azazel has him.” Chris said.

“Who? Who has him?!” Tru yelled.

“The yellow eyed demon.” Chris said. “He couldn’t kill him like he planned so he took him.”

“How do we get him back?!” Tru yelled.

“You can’t. Not yet. No one knows where he is, not even the elders.” Chris told her.

“Well find him!” Tru yelled, grabbing him by the collar as her eyes flashed dangerously.

“Tru.” John said, pulling Tru back.

“Find Him!” Tru yelled as tears started to fall from her eyes. Luke had been the one great thing in her life and now he had been taken away by a…demon. She felt arms wrap around her, comforting her as she fell to the ground, crying harder.

“I can’t loose him.” Tru cried.

“We’ll find him.” Chris promised, brushing her hair back. “I promise we will.”

“We have to get out of here.” John said, pulling the two of them up as the apartment burst into flames that started in the bedroom. Tru looked around at what had been her safe haven for years as Chris pulled her out of the building, the flames following them out as they ran down the stairs and to John’s truck.

“Get in, we need to get out of here.” John told them as he hopped into the driver seat. Chris got into the passenger seat as Tru squeezed in next to him. John started the truck and drove away as quickly as he could before the fire department arrived. Tru started shaking as everything sank in. Chris wrapped his arms around her, trying to comfort her as tears slipped down her face.

“Tru, Tru calm down.” Chris said softly. John looked over at his daughter and her white lighter.

“We need to find him.” Tru whispered.

“We will, I promise.” Chris said kissing the top of her head as Tru fell into a restless sleep.

So what do you think? It didn't turn out like I planned but I still think it's good.
