Chapter 8
Warning: This is a sad/fluffyish chappy for you Phoenix/Colin fans.
~3 A.M. The Mansion~
The gorgeous calm night had turned into a violent raging storm. The rattling windows had awoken Phoenix Xavier from her peaceful sleep. The lightening that lit up the sky sent her bolting for the farthest place from the window. She ran straight to Colin's room quietly shutting the door behind her. He was still asleep, clad in only pj bottoms. She made her way to his bed, careful to skip over the floorboards that creek. As soon as she reached his bed he awoke, his hand shooting out for her arm. He came out of his dream like state enough to loosen his grip on her arm and sit up.
"'Tis it now Phoenix? Do ye know what time it is lass?"
"Ah'm sorry Colin but the lightening woke me up. Ah've always been scared of lightening."
"Aye I understand but ye scared me outta me skin darlin'" he chuckled softly scooting over so she could sit down beside him. She smiled softly clearing her hair out of her eyes.
"Ah am sorry but you're the closest to mah room" Phoenix stated staring up into his eyes, which had turned to a very disgusting looking yellow. Her smile melted into a very weird expression that could be related to fear.
"'Tis it Icess?"
"Y-your....Colin your eyes"
He jumped up going to a gar corner, disappearing into the shadows. A few minutes later a great hound looking creature emerged in her boyfriend's place.
"Oh Mah God....this can't be....Colin?"
The creature turned its head towards her, and when their eyes met, pain poked its way into his eyes. And that was because she was afraid.
"Yes Phoenix, it's me."
"This...is your mutation?" She called out from the other side of the room. Colin just nodded lying back down.
"Is...it safe to come near you?"
"Yes. I'm sorry if I frightened you."
She stared at him for a moment.... before bolting for the door.
A/N: This was written by Kirsty and Audery.....otherwise known as Evinha and Jenni. Now we wrote this late at night....and we can't even believe how stupid it was. We hope you like it though....because Phoenix is a real big idiot in this un. Well we've found her Achilles heel huh?
