A.N: See I'm getting faster and better at this. I want to make an average of a chapter a day and that requires a lot of work so you guys should review so that I get some sort of output. I'm not going to worry about my aim for the last chapter because I did not give you all enough time to review I know you guys are not used to me updating so early. I had to update this now because this chapter – although it is very brief – it gives a lot of information. Like what powers Aurora has and how Fiona got those powers.
This chapter is for Kittygurl00-Tempest00 who has always been reading my story and reviewing faster than you can say SHIZOPHRENIC – although I don't exactly know how to pronounce that.
Kittygurl00-Tempest00: Thanks for reviewing and guess what you are the only one who reviewed. I like that part too and so, you don't think it's girlish? And well, it sort of just came into my mind to make Aurora get her powers from her mummy. I mean anything to surprise my readers and to make the story longer but you don't know how long I've been waiting for me to get to this part. Now the good story begins. It's sort of going to be a mystery now. By the way, thank you for wishing me.
I GOT 2 REVIEW FOR THIS CHAPTER…thank you KITTYGURL00-TEMPEST00
"What foolishness?" I asked Fiona softly so that she would go on. She seemed to be in a world of dreams – or as I like to call it Lala land.
"My mother died while giving birth to me and my father had left my mother just after he found out she was pregnant, so I never actually got to know my mother or my father. My mother was about twenty-two when she gave birth to me. So before I was even out of the labor room, I was an orphan. No one knew who my grandparents were, if I even had any. They had no contact number of mine and obviously I could not tell them anything." Fiona laughed at her own little joke here. I could see that she was trying very hard not to cry. But I was still waiting for the part where she'd tell me about her foolishness and the part when she'd tells me about her powers. These were the parts that I – and Rob – was waiting for.
"Well, then they had other things to do so they placed me in an incubator and left me there without bothering to check the temperature and stuff and it was one of those very old ones that had to be adjusted manually and the temperature was by tested by collecting the air inside the incubator in a tube and cooling it into a liquid and then the heat of the water was tested by poking your pinky or your elbow into the water.
"I was okay at first but then there was a sudden rise in the temperature and then a drop and then constant fluctuations. This was due to a problem in the lighting and electricity and obviously the other newer incubators did not run on electricity so the other babies were spared of the consequences that I had to face.
"It is actually due to all the fluctuations that I got my unusual abilities. The sudden rise and dropping of the temperature caused electricity to pass through my body at amazing speeds and left those sparks inside my body and those sparks passed through me into my baby." Fiona finished.
"So, you don't have those powers anymore?" I asked slowly trying to absorb all the information I got.
"Well, I probably do but ever since I found out that Aurora had it too I stopped using my own powers since I did not want to encourage Aurora to use her own powers too often. Aurora's father left me when he found out about my powers. Aurora was only two years old at that time and poor Aurora became fatherless at the tender age of two. I did not want her to face what I had." Fiona replied letting a sob escape her.
"And how do you remember all this? You were only a baby, right?." I felt bad about making Fiona cry but I needed to know all this. It was way too confusing.
"Jen. Jen told me." Fiona said between sobs. She pointed to the box of tissues which were beside me.
"Who is Jen?" I asked her passing the box to her. She blew her nose long and hard and then passed the box back to me.
"She is the child who died just before I was born. She was miscarried." Fiona said beginning to gain control over her.
"When did she tell you that?" I said flabbergasted. What was Fiona talking about? How did a dead baby tell her all of this? Didn't she say that the baby – Jen – had died before she was born?
"The first time I realized I was different – when I saw my first ghost." Fiona said.
"So…you can see ghosts?" I practically screamed. I was totally confused. Fiona was making no sense.
"Yes. That and other stuff." Fiona said with alarm at my sudden outburst.
"Fiona," I said calmly. "I'm confused and you are making no sense. How can you see ghosts and how can you talk to Jen if she died before you were born?"
"Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry I forgot you don't know about my powers. I can see and talk to the dead and preborn." Fiona said.
"Preborn?" I said.
"Yes, preborn." Fiona said nodding her head.
"Preborn." I repeated again. "Fiona, what are preborns?"
"Preborn are those who have not yet been born or those who are still in there mother's womb. I can also see and talk to young babies who are dead or alive. I think this would explain your question about Jen. Since she died before I was born, she decided to follow me for a while and, well, she saw what happened and told me when I was older so that I would not be so confused." Fiona answered me. I was still very awestruck. I mean, Fiona had a very unusual gift but it was a very cool gift. Better than mine. Which cannot even work on psychics.
Thanks god. No, really, thank you.
"So you can see and talk to the dead and the preborn – unborn babies as well as dead babies?" I asked Fiona just to be sure.
"Yes," Fiona answered, "and Aurora is a little different from me. Her powers are stronger than mine. She also has the power to allow other people to be able to see and communicate with the dead and preborn."
"Like, you mean she could make me be able to see what she can see and then I can also talk to them?" I asked Fiona. I was actually waiting for Rob to come tumbling in and declare why I was constantly questioning his girlfriend's mom when it was so simple. But it wasn't. Simple, I mean. It was far worse.
"Yes, exactly, but she does not do that often." Fiona said.
"Why?" I asked her
"Because she knows that people use her by becoming her friends and then make her let them talk to their dead mom or whatever. So she decided that she would not tell them and if she does she tells them that her powers are not in her control and happen by themselves." Fiona said with a big sigh.
I hope you liked this chapter. I really did like it but I wrote it really haphazardly. I don't know how Fiona's powers were due to her foolishness. She just seems to blame herself.
Please review and tell me if you like it!!!
