Restaurant in LA, Tuesday Late Afternoon
Piper wasn't sure why she came into work today. No, she knew exactly why. Distraction. That's what it was. Wyatt had kept her informed about the latest distressing situation. People were missing. More importantly, Chris was missing. He technically wasn't her son, but she loved him as such anyway. So she spent practically the entire weekend consulting the Book of Shadows, searching the pages individually at least three times. It didn't matter, though. The searches provided no answers.
Being at the restaurant was not her best idea ever, particularly because she couldn't concentrate. She needed to find the manager and ask for time off, at least until this whole situation was resolved.
She didn't expect to find a sea of vast nothingness waiting for her when she pushed through the swinging kitchen doors. Most of it was gone, the appliances, the employees. When she didn't hear screams of panic, she realized no one else could see it. Whatever this was, it came from beyond the restaurant walls. She had no idea how far it reached. Was it taking out the city block? The whole city of Los Angeles? The entire universe?
She didn't take much time to think about it. First, she threw her arms out to try freezing it, knowing it likely was a futile attempt. She then started backing away into the dining area. As she continued backing away, she reached for her cellphone. She had to call someone. Phoebe. She had to warn her. But she backed right into a server carrying a tray of food. As she lost her balance, the cellphone flew from her hands right into the darkness.
"Crap," she muttered, not even realizing she said anything at all. She tried pushing herself away from it, but it was too fast. It consumed everything in its path. Costumers, tables, decor...
Piper didn't scare easily, but she was terrified right at this moment. Fear beat out determination. All she could do now was think about the people she loved. So many memories raced through her mind.
Soon, the fear, the panic, the memories...they were all gone. They never existed at all.
