-_-_-_-_-_-
Carey glanced at his watch. 11:48 P.M. Molly and his mom and dad weren't back from the restaurant yet. And, Fiona wasn't back from her walk. But suddenly, he remembered something.
Wasn't she wearing a tank top when she talked to him about half an hour ago? And, isn't there a storm outside?!
"Oh..god!" He quickly jumped up, ran to her room, and grabbed her jacket. He ran to the front of the bus and put his jacket on.
He went to open the door, but heard it already start to open.
"OH! Hi Carey." It was Molly and his Parents. "What's up?" she asked cheerfully. Obviously a little tipsy…
"Molly! Fiona's missing!"
It seemed as if she sobered up immediately. "What? What do you mean?!"
Carey sighed. "Fiona got angry with me.. and, she went out and I just remembered she didn't have a coat. "
"Oh, Jesus. Alright, let's go." Irene said angrily.
The three of them split up to find the estranged girl.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Fiona immediately realized what a bad idea this had been. She was freezing. But, there was no way that she was going back into that bus. It'd be way to embarrassing
She was walking around the small city when she came up to a park. She sat on the nearest bench and huddled to herself.
She brought her knees up to her chin and leaned back against the back of the bench. After a few minutes, she heard a faint voice in the distance.
It was Carey. She looked up to him as he got closer. Empty-handed, Carey finally reached the bench and leaned over to catch his breath.
"FI! Are you okay?"
She stared at him. He wasn't wearing that before she left. But, he must have changed.
"I'm just fine, Carey. Now leave me alone." She said angrily.
"I'm not going to leave you here." He reached his hand over to her shoulder and rested it there. She sighed and stood up. He started to put his whole arm around her shoulders but his hand stopped at her neck.
Fiona let out a loud yelp when she felt a cold hard grip cover her neck. What on earth was Carey do--
She looked up him and saw her brother. ..the hell? This wasn't right. Her brother was off in college. A few moments later she saw her brothers face turn into her mothers.
She couldn't breathe. Her mothers face slowly morphed into her fathers and she started kicking. She felt her feet getting lifted off the ground and she clawed at the creature's hands.
She had to hold on. She didn't want to die this easily. But, she couldn't hold out any longer and felt her eyes roll back in her head.
But before she did Fi heard another voice in the distance. It was Carey's.
-_-_-_-_-_-
He was running around the city. Where the hell was she? And in the meantime he was getting soaked.
He heard a familiar scream and headed in that direction only to have his worst fears come true. He saw her dropping to the ground limply. But..
Was that Rick? Her father!? That couldn't be him. He's been dead over 16 years now!
He was at a full sprint and yelling Fi's name.
He finally got to the Rick-like-creature and instinctually punch the man in the side. Obviously with enough force to knock him over and drop Fiona.
While the man was busy writhing in pain, Carey ran over to Fi. He dropped to his knees and picked her up cradling her. He put his hand on the side of her face running his thumb over her cheek.
She wasn't waking up. Why wasn't she waking up!?
He could feel himself getting sick and the need to throw up was coming quickly.
He heard rustling behind him and moved quickly. Just in time to swerve out of "Rick's" hard punch.
They rolled a little, and Carey stood up slowly with Fi in his arms.
There was a small flash of light that flew past his eyes.
Bricriu stopped in front of Fiona for a second, wandered to her cheek and left a small kiss on it.
He flew off towards "Rick" and made the monster his own vessel.
Carey heard the monster scream for a few seconds but then quieted.
"Well, Little Duck. Quite a mess you've got here." His heavy Irish accent coming through.
Carey stayed quiet. Much in shock but mostly out of fear.
"...when she wakes up...tell her I wont be bugging' her no mo'."
Carey's eyebrows came together in confusion. But, realized what was going to happen.
"Oh..fu--"
Before he could finish though, "Rick" clapped his hands together and a bright flash of light came and a huge gust of wind that knocked Carey over and out. Fi landing a few feet away.
"Rick" walked over to Fiona and leaned over her. He touched a hand to her cheek and saw her eyes open slightly. "Rick" smiled. And then was gone.
He felt himself slowly wake and Carey laid still for a moment. What the hell had just happened? He closed his eyes but heard a soft moan. He sat up quickly ignoring the pain and sudden dizziness and crawled as fast as he could over to Fi.
He leaned over her and brought a hand to the side of her face. He looked her over. She seemed okay, but when his eyes reached hers...that's where she looked hurt the most.
"...GOD!" he heard her choke, "I'm sorry Carey. I know you were just being responsible. I know. But, I was being selfish and--"
He sat up a little higher, "Fi.."
She looked away.
Carey sighed and moved to face her.
She looked up to him with confused eyes.
He thought for a moment. He wanted to tell her he could wait. That he'd wait for her to be 18 before they did anything further! But, her mom and his parents would never approve. Never approve of their relationship or the age difference. No matter how much he or she wanted it.
So instead he gave her a lame excuse. "I think we should go back to the bus." he stood up and gestured for her to get up and to take her coat.
"Yeah.." she looked down and stood herself up. She grabbed the coat from him and put it on.
The they made their way towards the bus.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Wow. This story is much longer than I thought it was going to be. And, I wasn't going to make this, but I remembered that there had to be some kind of evil. So, now that it's taken care of, I can focus on their relationship. I hope this is going okay. Carey's just trying to think with his head.
And even I don't know the outcome yet. And I'm the Author! >_R&R please. I'd really appreciate the feedback. You guys have been so helpful!
I'll give you a cookie if you do!!
