Chapter 14

Felicity walked over to the sofa, her long, lacy white nightgown trailing behind her. She carried a cream coloured candle in one hand and placed it on its stand on a near by table. She snapped her fingers together. The friction ignited a golden flame on her fingertips. She lowered her hand to the wick of the candle and lit it. She brought her fingers back up to her face and blew out the fire. The remains of the fire drifted as smoke out into the open air.

"I love these powers."

She sat back on the sofa and sunk down into the squishiness of the soft cushions. She closed her eyes in attempt to relax. She heard the squeaking of an opening door and reopened her eyelids to see who or what was there. She looked over to the front door. Nothing. Then she looked over at the back door in the kitchen. Nothing. Lastly, she peered at the bedroom door. Nothing. What other door could have opened? Maybe it was her imagination. She closed her eyes again and heaved a deep sigh. Then came a voice.

"You again."

Felicity whirled around. Skye stood over her shoulder with a deathly stare. She stood up off the couch.

"Skye. Well, you look better. How does it feel to be human", she teased.

Skye lifted a porcelain lamp that sat on the same table as the candle and released it with fury to the ground. It smashed into a million pieces and no longer gave light to the room.

"I understand you're upset, I mean, why wouldn't you? But do you honestly think you can defeat me?"

Felicity cocked an eyebrow and showed off a glittering smile of glee.

"You know, you're right, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve."

She leapt across the couch and tumbled upon Felicity. They rolled around until Skye had Felicity pinned to the floor with the new technique Dean had taught her. She put a bare hand over Felicity's mouth. She screamed silently with fright. Skye's hand slowly moved away from her mouth, a blue orb collecting in her palm. As she continued absorbing Felicity's energy, she explained,

"I had a little chat with your friend Dameon. It turns out he can be easily persuaded… if you have the right stuff."

Felicity gapped at Skye's new abilities. Glowing brightly, the ball of energy had finished being collected. Skye stuffed the blue orb into her mouth like an unwanted pill. She shivered as her powers readjusted. She took in a deep breath and exhaled.

"Ah. There's nothing like the feeling of being your self again. Wouldn't you agree?"

Felicity, still wide-eyed and open-mouthed scurried away from Skye. Skye stood up and watched Felicity stare oddly at her while sitting hopelessly on the carpeted floor.

"By the way, I'd quite like my gloves and jacket back, thanks."

Felicity slowly gathered herself to the point that she was able to lift a finger in the direction of a closet by the bedroom and say,

"Um… there."

Skye strongly walked to the closet door, opened it, and grabbed a black jacket off a hanger. She slid on the sleeves of her long leather coat that felt comfortable on her bare arms. She fixed her collar and positioned her hair to flow around her shoulders over her coat. Slamming shut the closet door she turned back to Felicity with glazed amber eyes.

"Where are the gloves, Felicity?"

She stood up, quivering lightly. Her eyes were glossy and her posture was slumped into a nervous, insecure pose.

"In the bedroom. In the side table drawer."

Skye flicked away her demonic eyes and strode over to the bedroom, disappearing behind the double doors. Felicity ran to the phone and dialed a random number.

"Hello", rang the other line's deep voice.

"Dameon, what did you do? She's here and has her powers back! I thought we had a plan worked out! What happened?"

Dameon whispered something to her through the phone.

"What? Are you crazy?"

He whispered something again.

"Okay. I'll do it, as long as it gets rid of that pathetic girl and her two boys."

She hung up the phone on its receiver. Skye reentered the room with her gloves in her grip.

"You liar!"

"What?"

She whirled around with frantic fear. She clung tightly to the table that held the phone and the still lit candle, almost using her body to block out Skye's view of her lifeline.

"The gloves were hidden… under the bed, not in the drawer."

"Oh. Must have misplaced them."

Felicity quivered where she stood. Skye noticed this and walked around her.

"I'm sure", she stated sarcastically.

Felicity tried to get rid of her opponent.

"So… Skye… you've come and gotten what you wanted, so why don't you just leave me in peace for the night, okay?"

Skye smirked.

"Oh, Felicity… you don't honestly think you can to get rid of me that easily, do you?"

"Why, no! I would never want my old high school buddy to just leave. But, just wondering, why are you still here? I mean, there isn't anything left for you to take of."

"Oh yes there is. You."

DemonDragon666- And this is the part where it goes back to the first chapter. To find out what happens between this chapter and the next one, you'd better go back and reread what happened in the beginning. I'm sorry I have to do this to you, but I really didn't want to write the same thing again. I hate repeating myself. If you don't feel like reading it again, then just read the next chapter when I post it and fill in the empty spaces. Review! Please and thank you!
