Chapter 3

After their showers and feeling refreshed they talked about Moite's family and why and how they could possibly change their lives. He didn't know what to think as they formed a little plan only what they didn't think of was it wouldn't work. Moite woke up the next morning only because he didn't like the feel of the atmosphere. He immediately got up and quickly put on clothes as he walked downstairs. Racha's stepmom Uiaze was there in the kitchen with his Uncle. The awkwardness didn't stop her from bringing a cake from her place as she introduced herself. Quinn, his Uncle didn't understand why she was in a good mood or why she was even there. Quinn made contact with him as He tried to keep up an act that he wasn't happy with anything as he watched everything play out.

" How's your daughter Uiaze?" Quinn asked looking over at him as he turned looking at what was behind him as he didn't understand why he even looked behind him. He knew what his Uncle was doing and he didn't know what he was playing at or why he'd be like this. " She's fine. Thank you for asking."

Uiaze didn't understand the reason behind the question as he knew he would out later if not now. " Have you seen her any this morning?" Quinn asked staring hard at Moite as she didn't think anything of the conversation. " No. She must've stayed the night with Desarie." She unwrapped the pie from the tin foil as she didn't see the look plastered on Quinn's face.

He seemed very happy with that answer as Moite couldn't bare it anymore. He stalked out of the room before he did anything stupid he grabbed his things and better pants before he left the house. What had he done He needed to know. He just hoped his friends would tell him exactly what happened.

Quinn felt ecstatic and in a better mood that it had died with her and that another death wouldn't happen through that family. Thankfully if anybody was to blame it was his brother's son Moite. He grabbed a slice of pie for him and Uiaze. They didn't exactly get to know each other, he wanted to put a wedge against her and everyone around them.

He didn't know what he was really doing or saying but he did kind of destroy Moite's life. Quinn just didn't realize it just yet because she was gladly still alive. Desarie and Racha had their little sleepover as they both went to sleep at 4 that morning about didn't want to get up till 12 that afternoon. Kinase ended up showing up out of the blue before Moite did as before anything was said Racha wanted to see Des with her powers. She loved her gift and wished so badly to trade but she knew she couldn't. Desarie didn't very much like her gift. She didn't like it when people called it super either, but she eventually got over it when everyone ended up finding out.

When Moite was finally told what all happened he didn't want to believe it. He didn't think his Uncle was that powerful, then again he put things in his mind every single day before that school party, Even though he didn't know what had happened he still felt that emptiness inside him. He didn't like it at all. He wanted to better himself but he didn't know how. He knew his Uncle needed to get caught in the action but he didn't know how.

A few days later everything so far was going great Racha was perfectly fine as well as Desarie. Kinase and Moite hung out that day having fun and messing around. They liked to cause mischief sometimes other times they were pretty good and could think on their feet. They did need better excuses but in all, they were the best of friends. Kinase and Desarie weren't that happy together and Moite knew something wasn't right with them as he thought they were only together for the sex. Moite Sometimes thought Kinase could do better but he didn't know for sure if they were even going to have a future together. He didn't even know the future they all had.

Quinn had grabbed a hold of his brother in a hug again for the third time that week. He was way too happy and he did get along better with everyone except Moite. Quinn didn't realize that Moite's friends did tell him what had gone down but for what it was worth he stumbled with every word and step when he was around his Uncle. He wasn't proud of what his Uncle had done through him just to get something that wasn't even supposed to involve Moite. Quinn wanted so badly for Tina to love him and only him but now that Moite couldn't have Racha was even better because no secret was powerful enough to stop him now. IF only he knew what he had done he wouldn't have done it at all. His brother had one day gone to the store with his wife as Racha had also gone with her mother watching her every move around anyone and since Moite's father knew her powers she wouldn't get away from him.

" Honey, you feeling alright?" Racha looked around her as she quickly responded that she was fine. she never said anything to Uiaze or her father because she didn't want them to worry. " How about you go find the bananas and I'll go get the milk?" There was no need for a response she went ahead and looked around her as she did. She went back to her mom as she had grabbed a drink that was her favorite before she did. They grabbed a few more things as they were putting groceries in the bags after they paid.

" The fuck." She tensed up understanding who it was before she even turned around as her mother had looked offended. " Excuse me?" She didn't use her attitude she used her nice voice. That's how her mother was she wanted to understand before really having an attitude. She eventually had to turn around he already saw her and it wasn't as if she could change that. " Nothing sorry. The 2 for one isn't a bad deal just upset they couldn't do more." He stared down Uiaze and then Racha but the atmosphere around him definitely changed. Racha didn't like that and she wasn't sure if she was thankful that her mom was there or not. She wanted to push him away with her powers but she didn't want to scare anyone including her mother.

She helped her mother as she wanted to hurry and get out of there. She didn't want to think of what he could do to her or her mother. They finally got into the car after putting the groceries in the back seat. She had already had herself buckled up as she knew something wasn't sitting right with Uiaze. " Mom, what's wrong?" Uiaze watched the automatic doors from the store as she spoke. " He asked about you the other day when I baked that cake. He seemed off but I shook that feeling. Something doesn't feel right him." Racha looked closely that her stepmom as worry lines formed. Uiaze's fingers brushed her face before she thought of anything harmful happening to their family. Uiaze didn't even know why she would even think like that.

Racha helped her mom with the groceries when they got home. She hurriedly got it done as she asked if she could use the house phone to call her friend. Desarie and Kinase were together when they heard the news and immediately called Moite after hanging up with Racha. " Can you meet at the Diner tomorrow at 9 sharp? yeah. See you then."

Des and Kinase had fun and they enjoyed each other's company. Des knew she was only falling in love because of the sex, she just kept it to herself as Kinase cuddled with her. Kinase stayed the night with her that night as his excuse to his parents was that he was staying with Moite then again he felt like he should be able to do whatever he wanted as he was almost 18. They had the enjoyment as while Racha wondered what would happen between them and Moite's guardians. She wasn't sure if anything should happen because she still wasn't sure why they would think that there would be something that would end up happening.

The next day Moite got up extra early because he didn't want to run into his uncle. If anything he wanted to climb out his window instead of going out the front door but he would break his neck easily. He got to the Diner earlier than 9. He never really ate breakfast there but he did know that Racha would eat scrambled eggs with toast and Pancakes, he also ordered coffee for them all. Racha arrived with Desarie and Kinase in tow as he called them over. They talked for a good 38 minutes about other things before really getting to the one thing they were there for. " I don't understand your mom felt off. Does she have any powers?" Racha knew that answer before she even asked. " No. I don't think she even liked the idea that she was with him by herself when he asked about me. She pushed that down because he is a neighbor and everyone has their own things they deal with. " Racha ate the food that was in front of her but only half of it. Moite knew she would rather have a milkshake any day instead. " Moite has he talked to you or said anything about doing anything?" Moite was scared of him and what Quinn could possibly do, he didn't even want to be near him, especially by himself. " No, I've been trying to avoid him. Why?"

" Maybe if you try to eavesdrop. " Des said not sure really of her answer as Kinase said it might be a good idea. " It's the only thing we could probably do. What if he tries to do something? You're, I mean, we're going to want to know what he's gonna do. " Moite knew he had a point but he didn't feel like hurting them again. " What happens when I do something I regret?" Des looked at Racha as Kinase looked at Desarie. " I guess we'll try to not get hurt or lock you up. Des has some cool powers so do I plus Racha is pretty cool with hers. " Good they made a plan to lock him up. Great. " Um Ok. I guess I can see what's up with my Uncle and dad. " Moite thought of his dad and where he was anyways he noticed he hadn't seen him in a while.

It was already almost 10: 50 before they left Kinase paid the bill and tipped. " It was pretty cold outside and they didn't want to go swimming but they still headed in the direction of the creek. Racha didn't want to think of the memory of Moite trying to hurt her and Her friends. She wasn't sure what this would bring but she knew it probably wasn't going to be good. " Hey what's your Uncle's powers anyways you never told me?" She asked curiously as Desarie and Kinase listened as well. Moite didn't seem shocked but he didn't know whether or not he should lie, but he loved Racha too much to do that. " He can make anyone sick. Like Cancer or Flu. " Moite wasn't happy with the look on their faces before Racha didn't look too well. " Wait so your Uncle was the reason my mom died?" Racha felt like she already knew that but hearing it out loud felt so much more different. She remembered the pain from her as a child hoping that her birth mother would come back but she knew even at that young of age she wasn't. " Racha." Moite had his hand on her back as Desarie had her by the arm before walking with her towards the creek in view. " Did you know that?" Racha and Des heard Kinase ask him. " I did, but that was only because when they had drugged me they thought I couldn't hear them. They were arguing over the past like it was yesterday. Quinn my Uncle even told my father that he could have changed it but he didn't." Racha heard every single word and so did Des as they looked at each other. " Your face is pale. Are you sure you are ok?" She didn't really know how to respond to that as she wasn't even sure. " Yeah. "

Moite and Kinase talked more as Desarie and Racha lay down staring at the sky trying to hear the waves instead of their voices. There weren't many waves obviously it wasn't the beach. Racha just wanted to hear anything else and not what they were saying. The next few days didn't go by fast enough for Racha and she didn't feel like going to school that Wednesday morning but while in school Quinn and Moites father yelled at each other. Quinn was very distraught and angry. He wasn't expecting anything like this after he thought she was dead. " You can change it. Do your thing so I can see what happened!"

"I can't do that. "Quinn's breathing escalated before punching the nearest wall." Why the fuck should I believe that?" He wasn't just yelling now he screamed at him. Moite's father backed away and not just because he was scared but because of what he could do. " Frank you show me. Now. "

Frank and Quinn stared down at each other before Frank shook his head. " I can't. I already tried. It was as if a barrier was stopping me from seeing anything."

Quinn laughed and not in a way that was funny. Frank hated the evil snarky laugh. " Why not? Is that a fucking excuse like the last time because of what I did?" Frank didn't understand why he couldn't just take it. Frank was getting tired that every time Quinn had to say anything or argue about anything why they always had to go back to Tina. He couldn't stand the fact that everything he had to say even had him thinking of the past. He wanted to change everything but if he did certain things wouldn't matter or wouldn't be here today.

Quinn paced around the room angrily as he thought to himself before muttering under his breath. " Can you see why she's still alive? " He had one hand in the air in a fist as Frank knew this wasn't ever going as planned. He couldn't say no as Frank just breathed out hard on purpose as everything around him stopped. He pushed his hands out as Quinn knew he wouldn't be able to see if he didn't grab Frank's hand. Quinn wasn't subtle about grabbing his brother's hand and even though Frank knew he didn't waver. An Image of Racha wandering around showed people showed fear as everyone was alarmed. She wasn't a ghost and if she was they wouldn't have been able to see her. Another Image showed her and a grown-up Moite as he showed himself around "Racha's home." They saw in astonishment Moite crying as he saw Racha. When Frank saw his son grab the knife that's when he knew of the future.

Frank stopped the visions as they didn't seem right. Frank watched Quinn and Frank knew he was up to no good, like always. Everyone tried to understand where he came from but no one could figure it out. Frank wished his brother wasn't so hard-headed then again nothing was ever the same before Tina died. Frank couldn't think straight as he hoped for the good to come out of all of this instead of the bad.

Moite said something funny to Kinase Kinase didn't seem to thrill as it was just a joke. Racha couldn't help but laugh as Desarie just rolled her eyes. It was Desarie's turn to pay for the bill at the Diner and Racha was famished. Moite and Racha sat side by side as Des and Kinase did the same. Moite knew he needed to be home but he didn't care. Racha was still having nightmares from that night and every time Moite said anything about it, it was like a slap to the face only she remembered Moite's hand around her throat. " Racha. Racha. " Racha snapped out of it as they all looked at her. The milkshake she ordered was in front of her as were her fries. " You ok?" Kinase asked as Moite's hand firmly grabbed her thigh. She didn't know why she suddenly felt sick to her stomach but she wasn't feeling too hot. She pushed away his hand as it seemed to burn through her leggings. " I'm fine. " They didn't look sure as Kinase and Moite looked more worried than Desaire. " You weren't answering and your face went pale. " Kinase said as he drank from his chocolate milkshake.

Racha did feel the color drain from her face as her sugar levels dropped drastically. Racha dipped her fry into the milkshake before she noticed Moite and his expression changed as she held his hand. She wasn't trying to be rude but she felt weird about everything and with that sudden nausea that came over her, she wasn't feeling great at all. She had a terrible feeling and she didn't like it one bit. She felt like the weight of something was over her and she still felt the burn from his hand. She wasn't hungry anymore but she forced more fries down as she listened in to Kinase and Desarie's conversation.

A few more days went by and Moite still wasn't sure what his Uncle and His father were up to. They still talked privately and he knew that they were up to something they'd been up to something since he met Racha. Something didn't sit right with him and he felt it in the pit of his stomach. His Uncle and father locked the door behind them and he couldn't hear them but he wasn't sure how he could hear them through a locked door. He went outside towards the basement window to spy on his dad it was never part of his life plan and yet here he was. Thankfully he could hear everything but they weren't even talking about Racha. If anything they were talking more about Tina and how his father was so stupid to change time. " And if I did?"

His Uncle laughed. " You live like this when your own son would end up giving his own life because of a girl. It's pathetic, like father like son!" Moite didn't understand what they were talking about yet he knew they were talking about him. Why would he kill himself? " Don't talk about Moite that way. He doesn't understand what his own power is and here you are blaming yourself as well!" He always heard them yelling at each other but why would they do it in privacy when everyone can clearly hear them was just stupid. " I don't blame myself for nothing it's you who should be begging for your life when I can easily take it away!" Moite watched as horror swept over him. What? " You wouldn't because you would need me if anything changes in your fucking plan, that is if you even have one." His father exaggerated as Quinn just squeezed both his fists together as he swung at the beakers on the table before they shattered. The glass fell to the floor and onto the table, Moite didn't want to watch anymore as he saw his father wasn't surprised.

Moite's breathing was still at a minimum and he knew as he watched it wasn't the worst part of it. " How the fuck is it so hard to go back in time?" Quinn screamed this time and Moite wasn't sure how Frank his father was ok with all of this. " I can't change something when it's already been changed!" Moite didn't understand yet again as Quinn turned around ready to throw another tantrum. " Excuse me?" Moite looked in between his Uncle and Father like it was a match. " It was changed. " Moite never really seemed to understand why his father and Uncle didn't get along, but it was obviously something that happened in the past. Moite knew Tina was Racha's birth mom but the secret he didn't know and he so badly wanted to know was getting in the way of him and everything they were doing. " Tina was too good for someone like you. I don't know why you do this to yourself. " Quinn was still mad but he laughed. " Tina had the power to stop the bad and yet here you are trying so hard to forget her and everything we've ever done. If she couldn't stop me she couldn't stop anyone! " Quinn practically spit in Franks's personal space. " Here we are trying to stop Racha. If she has a power like her mother we're all doomed."

Frank shook his head while Quinn walked several feet away. There was only a glimpse of sadness on Quinn's face before he quickly changed his expression before turned his body halfway. " Racha doesn't have that power if she did we wouldn't all be standing right now." Moite was astounded as he questioned what the heck he was hearing. Quinn laughed again and this time he wasn't pleased. " You think I'd believe that? You can't change it because it's already been changed so you changed something? What did you change?" Frank looked taken aback as he yelled back " I didn't change anything. That's what I have been trying to say for the past 24 freaking hours Quinn. " They stared at each other before Quinn said something under his breath. " Your son. What did you do?" Quinn laughed only it was like an evil psychotic laugh. " I let him go to the stupid party when you put something in his mind when I wasn't looking. Didn't you? Don't deny it either!" Quinn laughed but more to himself as Frank didn't have to say anything when it was clearly written all over his face. " Just know what I'm going to do is both your fault! You better hope that I don't randomly do anything to my nephew!" Frank stared hard at Quinn as he tried to walk away towards the stairs before Quinn could Frank grabbed him by his arm and jerked him back before grabbing his face and slamming it hard against the table before Quinn could think twice. Quinn slumped against the wall underneath the table as Frank sneered at his brother. " Go kill yourself, Fratello."

Frank left in a hurry before Quinn could wake. Frank knew he could kill his brother but not before he would put some sickness over him. Frank was starting to hate everything about his brother. He could understand a little bit from what happened with Tina, but it was Quinn's fault it was always going to be Quinn's fault. He climbed the stairs as he changed what was around him he wanted to see what he could've changed. The air around him felt different before everything around him changed. He didn't go back in time he saw what he was seeing if Tina was his or if everything was stupid like Quinn said.

He looked at everything but he didn't recognize anything as a girl about 5 feet walked down the stairs as she looked faintly like Tina. "Mornin', dad. "

He looked at his daughter. Brown hair, short but adorable, and eyes like Tina's, hazel. He walked behind her toward the kitchen where the clatter was coming from. Tina stood over the stove and she put the pancakes from the pan onto the plate as she turned her gorgeous body and put it onto the counter. " Evlen Honey did you get your book bag? You don't need to forget that again." She turned and looked at their daughter as a boy taller than Evlen ran into the room before grabbing a seat. He looked so much like Moite that he was taken back. " Haun. Don't run in this house. "

" Frank You look like you need something to eat." He didn't want the plate she grabbed from the counter next to the stove as she tried to hand it to him. " Tina." She looked so great and he didn't want this to end. He wanted this to last for a lifetime. He should have changed it a long time ago. " He grabbed her around the waist as he took the plate from her. " I missed you. " He didn't want to cry in front of his children but they didn't like what they were about to see as he kissed his "wife". " Ew dad. That's disgusting." Haun and Evlen were grossed out obviously as he pulled away from Tina only to want to stay in her arms. " Don't forget your brother Quinn will be joining you today. He said you and him are supposed to be having lunch. " Frank was surprised that Quinn in this reality sounded like he enjoyed life. " I remember." " At some point, you're going to have to let me go." He didn't want to and she could tell something was bothering him. She knew him too well, way too well."

Their kids were barely watching as they ate their pancakes that were made from their mother's love. " The school bus should be here any moment now, better hurry." Tina grabbed Frank by his face as he still had his arms around her and kissed him again. " Let go." He was mesmerized yet again. He tried to think as everything could only happen for a few minutes, not a lifetime. He didn't want to waste what could have been, even though this wasn't real he still didn't want to leave Tina. When everything went back to what it was he stared out across his living area instead of what he wanted to see. He had a Daughter Evlen and a son that looked a lot like Moite only his name was Haun. He still couldn't think straight. He walked back downstairs as his brother had gotten up from the ground. " She would live and there are two kids and one looks just like my son. You still want to change something. You'd be hurting the reality behind this reality. You can't change this because it won't let you." Frank didn't know what he was saying but he knew that he was telling the truth. " I don't need to change the past. I just need to change the future!" Quinn didn't even touch his head as it healed itself. Frank knew there was something else about his power but now he knew.

Frank wanted to know what he was planning but he didn't want to be part of it. Quinn already knew this but he wasn't in the mood and he could tell. " Tina could literally make anyone stop what they were doing but guess what, you can't do because you are not her! No one could do what She could do." Frank looked at Quinn as he pointed at him when he said that last part. Frank laughed as he turned his body at the wall before punching it hard. " Don't tell me what I am. " His adrenaline was through the roof and his hand was bloody looking as his body shook. From the corner of Franks's eye, he could've sworn he saw movement from the window. His real wife must've been home. He hoped she didn't hear him. He closed his eyes thinking the worst as he fast-walked out from the basement.

Moite realized his mistake as he tried to quickly move out of view before getting up and running towards the back door. He quickly grabbed his dad's phone as he quickly ran towards Racha's home. Every word kept racing through his head like a drag racer on the track. He felt like his heart was beating out of his chest and in his ears. It didn't stop him from running toward Racha.
