Chapter 2: Fiona returns.
The brown haired Fi sat in a Greyhound bus staring out the window at the passing houses.
Her eye caught sight of a large green sign that read: 'Now entering the town of Hope springs California.'
"Home." She said in a low whisper. "Finally."
Unbeknownst to her a dark shadow was creeping towards her. And Hope Springs.
Fifteen Minutes Later:
Fiona felt the bus lurch to a stop and pull her out of a daydream.
She peered out the window and saw her family.
They all stood outside the bus waiting for Fi's arrival.
"Mom!" Fi gasped grabbing her suitcases. "Jack! Carey, Clu!" Then she noticed, "Annie."
Fiona ran off the bus and into her mom's warm embrace.
"Fiona!" Her mom yelled. "It's so good to see you!"
"Fiona and it's so good to see you!" Were just some of the many calls from the reunion.
Annie made her way over to Fi and said hi to her but Fiona's replies were somewhat of a way for her to avoid her.
"Hi Fi!" Annie yelled.
"Oh." Fi said looking at the ground. "Hey Annie."
Fiona moved away and towards jack.
"Whoa." Carey said to Clu. " That was weird."
"Yeah." Clu replied. "Like mondo weirdness."
Awhile-later when Fiona and the gang all started back to the car Annie held her back.
Dark clouds hid the sun from the sky.
"Hey Fi." Annie said grabbing Fi's arm. "Did I make you mad or something?"
"No, Annie," Fi said. "Its just that, well I, I can't talk to you right now!" Fi began to walk off.
"Fi!" Annie yelled but her voice disappeared into a clash of thunder. "Fiona!"
This time Fi heard her and turned back to her.
"What happened to you in Seattle?" She asked her.
"I can't tell you right now."
"Fine Fi!" She yelled. "You've made it quite clear that you don't want to talk to ma anymore but here," She began taking the borrowed ring off her finger. "I owe you this back."
She placed the ring into Fiona's hand just to be met with another remark.
"I'm sorry." Fiona said. "I can't take this. It holds to many memories, of pain. And evil."
"Fi." Annie said back. "You can't just walk away from all these memories."
"Just watch me!" Fi yelled.
Fiona turned her hand down towards the ground and the ring fell.
Fiona and Annie thought that it's clatter on the ground would ring forever in their minds.
Fiona turned her back on Annie and walked out of the station towards the car.
"What happened to her out there?" Annie asked herself.
I'm not sure. The panther began to speak inside Annie's mind. But you've got to do everything in your power to change her back. If you fail, everything you both hold dear will die.

Up in air the shadow that had been following, Fiona smiled to himself.
"It's only a matter of time…" He said to nothing staring at Fiona and the darkening clouds in the sky.
