The next morning…
"Morning Little Duck." Carey/Bricriu said cheerfully.
"Morning…. Wait. What'd you just call me?" Fi snapped.
"Ummm, Little Duck?"
"What…?" Fi grabbed Bricriu's arm and dragged him off to the side. "What are you doing inside Carey's body?"
"Trying to decide what I should have for breakfast."
"Get out of him you stinking, lying– "
"Whoa." Bricriu held up a hand. "Chill."
"You possess the bodies of one of my best friends and you tell me to chill? I don't
think so. I'm banishing you back to the spirit world. Bricriu, begone from this mortal—"
"Wait! Please, there's something I must do, then, I promise, if you want me to, I'll leave you alone forever."
"Fine. What do you have to do?"
"You'll find out in due time." Man, I wish I could just tell her how I feel. But there's no way she'd feel the same. Not after all the trouble I've caused her. But I only wanted to help her, to make her happy, to protect her. Why did I have to fall in love with a human and not another Spunkie? Why? Bricriu thought, gazing wistfully at Fi.
That night, Fi lay in bed, thinking. I wonder what it is Bricriu wants. Why does he have to bother me and my family all the time? Why not someone else? I'm not saying I want him to bother someone else, but why always me and my family? Although…when he possessed Jack he was telling me he could protect me. Did he really want to protect me, or was he lying? Was he really risking all for me and trying to protect my mom when he possessed her? Or were those lies too? I wish I knew. Hmmm. If he hadn't set fire to that warehouse, Tom would still be scared of fire…. Huh. Maybe Bricriu isn't so bad after all. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Late that night, Bricriu crept into her room and stood in her doorway gazing silently at her. The will-o-the-wisp walked over to her bed and kissed her quickly on the cheek. "G' night Little Duck." muttered Bricriu. "Love ya." He snuck back to Carey's room and lay down thinking of Fi. Meanwhile, Fi had woken and had seen and heard Bricriu and had felt his kiss.
Oh my word. Fi thought. Bricriu likes me? ME? Fi touched her cheek where the will-o-the-wisp had kissed her. That actually felt kind of nice. I wish Bricriu'd kiss me again…. Whoa! What am I thinking? I hate Bricriu. Don't I? Now I'm not so sure. Fi shook her head and went to sleep, puzzled over these feelings that she was having.
Please r/r. Thanx to everyone who reviewed the first chapter. Sorry if it's really bad, but I don't usually don't write romance, so….
