Chapter 6 The Return
When Grace woke up her eyes were sore. She looked around but couldn’t see Shadow any where. She blinked and tried to clear her mind. Then she heard rustling in the kitchen.
“Shadow….? Is that you?”
Grace pulled back the covers and put on her robe making sure to tie it tightly. She walked into the kitchen. Grace ended up on the floor again. She had fallen backwards in surprise.
He sure wasn’t Shadow the way he stood a little shorter and his hair was blackish brown. His eyes were red and he was very pale.
“Why hello my dear Grace… long time no see. Sure as hell took me a while to finally find you…”
The man reached down and touched Grace’s face. She flinched away causing herself to hit her head hard on the table. Her vision became blurry and everything went black.
When Grace woke up she was back on her bed. She rubbed her head and looked around. She blinked and cleared her vision.
“Was it all just a dream…?” Grace’s voice was still shaky.
The man who had been in the kitchen before poked his head down for he was hanging on the ceiling. His face was very close to Grace’s. He kissed her forehead then spoke. “Nope. Not a dream.”
Grace screamed and threw off her covers and was on the other side of the room in a flash. “You just stay away from me! Dusk why are you even here?!”
The man jumped down landing silently on the floor. He looked up from the floor and starred directly into Grace’s eyes.
“Why to see you of course my dear Grace…” Dusk’s voice was smooth but it had a malevolent sound to it.
Grace winced and backed up until she was up against a wall she closed her eyes and tried to focus on her breathing. “Dusk... You shouldn’t be here… You’re the one who left. Didn’t you move on?”
Dusk shrugged and took a step forward. “Yeah I moved on but hey I cam back. I would think that’s what you would want, but hey where’s your boyfriend?”
Grace was wondering the same thing. She wanted to know where Shadow was. He was her guardian. It was pretty irresponsible to leave her alone. But of course he was Shadow he wasn’t responsible…
Grace stuttered almost unable to speak. “H…h…he is n…n…not… m…my… b…b…boyfriend!”
Dusk simply laughed. His laugh was loud and evil. His face was completely different when he laughed it mad him look crazy. He was starring at Grace his eye’s glowing their red color.
“Then since he is not your boyfriend you wouldn’t mind being mine. My dear Grace.”
Grace flattened herself against the wall, trying to be as far away from Dusk as possible. Her face was red and her eyes were wet. She had a helpless look in her eyes.
She scooted close to the kitchen door then shot out of the room. She ran to the back of the living room then into the bathroom. She locked the do
or behind her and sighed in relief. She was away form Dusk that’s all that mattered.
Then in an instant Dusk had melded through the door and was standing just inches away from Grace. He grinned menacingly and stepped forward. His eyes were glowing brighter then ever as he continued to advance on the retreating Grace.
Grace was backed up against the wall again tears now running down her red cheeks. She silently begged for Shadow to come to her rescue.
Suddenly a burst of red hot energy burned threw Grace her usually lilac eyes now were red like dusks. Her hair shone whiter then ever and her fangs became enlarged with the power of an abnormal vampire. An evil grin formed on her face and then she screamed.
“LEAVE. ME. ALONE!” her scream was earsplitting and she lunged forward towards Dusk.
Grace’s nails were claw like and she blindly scratched at Dusk. Dusk managed to through her off of him and ended up sending Grace crashing through the wooden bathroom door. Grace slid on the carpet then quickly righted herself. Grace growled and lunged at Dusk with animal like reflexes. Dusk easily evaded her attack.
Dusk seemed unsurprised by Grace’s actions. In fact he seemed quite prepared. Dusk pulled out a knife but instead of lunging to kill Grace he cut his wrist and held out his bleeding arm towards Grace.
Grace flinched away at the sight of blood. She ran towards the now half open from door. When she tried to go through the door she ran into a very shocked Shadow. Then Grace fainted on the spot only to be caught by Shadow.
Dusk and Shadow were starring right at each other with shock and hatred in their eyes. The Dusk grinned evilly at Shadow and held his arms wide open in a welcome.
“Well if it isn’t Grace’s little boyfriend. Welcome to our little party. It seems as though our guest of honor has fainted. Oh well… You’ll be more fun.”
Shadow gently sat Grace down in the recliner then turned to Dusk. Shadow grimaced and ducked as two knives flew towards his head. Shadow then stood up again. His hands glowed red with some sort of power. Then out of no where about a dozen needles appeared in the air and flew towards Dusk. About 4 needles imbedded themselves in Dusks arms and shoulder.
Dusk grimaced then glared at Shadow, then yelled at the top of his lungs. “This isn’t the end vampire!” Dusk disappeared in a blast of smoke, and thus he was gone.
Shadow ran over to Grace who was slowly waking up. When Grace saw Shadow leaning over her she clung onto him and Cried.
“It isn’t fair Shadow! It isn’t fair!”
Shadow closed his eyes and hugged Grace tightly. He felt very bad for her because many years ago She and Dusk were a couple then Dusk had abandoned her and broke her heart. Now he guess she was probably feeling the same thing.”
“I know Grace….I know…”
