-_-_-_-_-_-

Had he just done that? Had he almost kissed Fi? What on earth was he thinking? He must have been crazy.

Carey had almost fell down the stairs after he'd left her room. He still couldn't get over the fact of what he almost did. Wait a second...hadn't she instigated it? That must of meant that she wanted it too.

But, why? Carey always thought that she liked him as a friend. But, this must of meant something different. Right?

-_-_-_-_-_-

Fi sighed for the ump-teenth time. She was so close. So close to him. That's exactly where she wanted to be. Close to him. It killed her inside because of it. But, she knew she was way to young for Carey.

How could he even think about liking her? The oh-so-annoying one.

She sighed again.

"God Dammit!" she yelled loudly, then quickly lowered her voice. It was still night time.

This was seriously bugging her. She wanted to kiss him so badly.

-_-_-_-_-_-

A few nights later

After only 3 days of non-nightmarish sleep she was having another bad dream. They seemed to get more hellish each time she had them.

Walking through wheat field once again, Fiona finally saw a building. A mansion, perhaps? Well, what ever it is it was big. Walking for a while, she reached the mansion. It seemed to be abandoned.

Looking around a little more, Fi came across a large garden. Probably the largest garden she'd ever seen. Curious, she started walking through.

'It may be large, but all these flowers are dead.'

Continuing on her way, Fi came across one bush that was still alive.

It was a rose bush. Roses were her favorite flower.

Tilting her head a little she looked over the bush. It was quite pret--

"Quite pretty, eh, Little Duck?"

Fi spun around to the sound. "BRICRIU! What are you doing here?"

"Calm down, little duck. I'm coming to warn you."

"Warn..me..?" she wasn't convinced.

"I came because someone on this side, another Will O Wisp is coming after your family."

"MY FAMILY!?" What on Earth?

"No, not of this Earth, Fiona."

"Would you quit that?" she glared at the ball of light.

He sighed and floated towards the rose bush. Picking a flower from the shrub, he threw her the flower. "Beautiful things still have a dark side, Little Duck...oh, and someone is waiting for you." and, he was gone with a flash.

She caught the rose and watched him go. Her eyebrows knitted in confusion. Why couldn't that damn ball of light ever bring good news?

Suddenly she felt a sharp pain run through her hand. She looked down and saw that her hand was bloody. The rose ended up having thorns.

Fiona's hand wouldn't stop bleeding. She started to feel weak. She felt her legs go limp and her eyes roll back into her head.

-_-_-_-_-_-

She shot up in bed again. Into warm hands, again.

Fi was breathing hard. But, she let herself relax into her catchers arms. She inhaled deeply, taking in his scent. My, he smelled wonderful.

"Thank you, Carey." she whispered into the man's chest.

"My pleasure, Fi." he ran his arm on her back and she closed her eyes for a second. Then quickly opened them.

"I remember it, Carey!"

"Remember what?"

"The dream, dummy. I remember it and..and.."

"What?" he was concerned now.

"I think were in trouble."

"Why do you think that?"

"The Will O Wisp..he, he was in my dream. He was there, Carey! He said my family was in trouble. I-- I don't know what to do!"

She started getting hysterical. "What am I going to do!?" she looked to him.

"Fi! It was just--" he was cut off.

"NO! Carey, this wasn't a dream." she was starting to calm down.

He pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her tightly. With slight confusion in his voice, he spoke, "It's okay, Fi. Nothing's going to happen to your family."

Fi felt a tear come slowly down her cheek. She pulled away from Carey's embrace and looked down towards the bed. She couldn't let him see her cry.

Then, she felt a light touch on her cheek and he brought her face up to his.

"Fi..don't cry. Everything's going to be okay." He wiped away her tear from her face with his thumb. After, still keeping his hand there rubbing his thumb across her cheek softly.

Fi closed her eyes against his touch and heard a quick breath come from him. She brought her hand up to cover his own, and turned her face towards his palm.

"Thanks, Carey."

"It's no problem, Fiona." he smiled slightly. Letting his hand fall from her face, she layed back down and he glanced over to the clock. 5:36 am. He needed some sleep as well. After all, the MP tour was starting up again in a few days. There was no need to exhaust himself. Except, maybe one." He looked down to a sleeping Fiona.

-_-_-_-_-_-

Wow, I think this is the longest chapter yet. I've decided that's where I'm gonna leave it for this chapter. Yes, the MP tour is going to start again, I just didn't want to write what happens during the day. The night time is way more funner to write! And, for anyone who's wondering..Carey is visiting the Phillips for 2 weeks before the tour so he wouldn't be late for practices, and stuff. So, Fi came home about a week ago, but Carey had been at her house for about a week before she came.

hehe. Perhaps there will be romance in the next chapter. I just don't want to rush into their "romance=kissing" thing yet. I think making the reader wait for the thing they want the most is best. :p And, no, they haven't kissed yet.

hehe. Okay, so, thanks everyone for reviewing. **sighs**

R&R please!
