Fred stared at the bags of chips that lined the shelf in front of her but she didn't see a single bag. Her mind had drifted as it had been doing more and more lately, since fear had taken hold of the apartment complexes. It had started with the nightmare, a shapeless, featureless spectre, telling her that she couldn't escape. That it would find her wherever she went. Then it had become more defined. Her but not her. The her that her friends must have seen. Illyria.
Since then, it almost felt like the apartment had become a little more tense. Her curiosity nagged at her to ask Wesley what Illyria had been like, if she could cross dimensions, but she didn't want him to worry more. The Old One couldn't get to her here, could she? They were in a different dimension completely and she was kept with the other Old Ones. It was near impossible, although the life that Fred had come to know while working with Angel, Cordelia, Wesley, Charles, and Lorne had taught her that nothing was impossible.
She finally selected a bag of Sun Chips and dropped them into the basket, turning away. Down the aisle, her attention drifted to the display, enough that she didn't see the other person until she bumped into them. With a surprised yelp, Fred jumped back, dropping her basket in the process. "I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed.
