A/N: Sorry for the YEARS of no updates, lol. Life has certainly gotten in the way, and will probably continue to do so. Right now, I'm simply trying to tie up loose ends in my old fics, so I do want to complete this fic. Thanks to everyone for actually reading it!
Chapter 8
Fi looked into the mirror, taking deep breaths. She placed the mirror down and closed her eyes. This was so weird. Slowly, she opened her eyes, and looked into the mirror again. This time, she saw deep brown eyes staring back at her. 'Whew, ok, normal' She thought, relieved, yet intrigued.
Candy just stared at her. "My God Fi, what has happened?" She asked, not believing what she had just seen.
Fi bit her lip, and looked at Candy. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I really need to be going. I'll see you later, k?" With that, she hurried out of Candy's and back to her own home.
She had never had her eyes start shining in front of others. It was something she usually controlled. It had only happened twice in Seattle. Both times she had been missing her family, and was very upset.
"My emotions." Fi muttered to herself, realizing it had to do with her emotions. She had researched the phenomenon, and had turned up very little. From what she understood, it was a power that was called upon only one way, and was actually the door to many other powers. There were very few cases of it she was able to find. Fi knew this was something she would have to look into within herself, and do some experiments herself. She soon went to bed, tired and uncomfortable, with her arm slightly hurting.
Fi woke up to hear a noise in her room again. She opened her eyes slowly, knowing instinctively that she was not alone. The Bogey Man was in her room. She sat up, and gasped as she saw a dark figure, obviously deformed, nearing her bed. The figure had claw-like fingers sticking out to get her. She gasped, terrified.
Suddenly, there was a bright light shinning in the room. It shined on the Bogey Man, and he disappeared.
Fi took a deep breath, and calmed herself. The light then died. She realized the light had actually been coming from her eyes. She knew she needed to find out why he was in her house, and how to get rid of him, but she was very tired, and soon exhaustion over came her.
Carey walked into the Philips house the next afternoon, trying to act normal. He hadn't been able to sleep at all the night before. All he could think of was Fi, and their kiss. He cared for her more than he had ever realized before, that was now obvious.
Fi glanced up and saw him. "Hey." She said, smiling, happy to see him.
"Hey, umm… would you like to grab some lunch together?" He asked, wanting to be near her, to spend more time with her.
"Of course." She said, glad to be with Carey.
