[Poltergeist - The Legacy] Philip, Kat

[MacRorie-Thuryn]

As they reached Rachel's room Kat entered and crawled up on the bed, "goodnight mommy, we'll come take you home tomorrow."  She kissed her mother on the cheek and gave her a hug, the best that she could.  Then she reluctantly hopped down and went back to Philip.  "Are you sure she'll be okay here all alone?"   "She'll be as right as rain in the morn'." Philip assured her as they quietly left before he mock whispered to her "Let's raid th' candy first.  I've had m'eye on the rootbeer pop ever since we got here.   "An'," he added gently "Ye ken tell me wha's bother'n ye if you'd like..... ?  Yer no't even smilin' a' th' prospect of candy."   Admittedly, he thought to himself, it could have to do with the whole Mitchell deal.. but something told him it was something different.  As odd as it was, Kat was used to the way of the Legacy -- she handled facing demons, ghosts and mysteries alike better than most his own age.  But that was the way of a child and those that believed.  They accepted it more readily.   They made it to the nurse's station and were given the candy jar and he reached it, pulling out the rootbear 'pop' before unwrapping it and sticking it in his mouth, talkin around it in a low tone to Kat so not to be overheard by anyone else "An' ye didnae say anythin' te Julia..... did somethin' happ'n between ye tha's upset ye?"   Then he leaned forward to 'sweeten' the deal in getting her to open up "We coul' call this confession'l and it'll stay between us. i's as good as a pinky swear I hear."
