Dusk glared sullenly at the dark haired boy who stood at his door, and managed to force out a sentence, brain numbed with sleep.
"Who... Are you." He scowled, taking in the boys small size. Not a fighter, not a professional. A kid.
The boys cold green eyes scanned him, and dusk briefly wondered where he had got his scar, like a bolt of lighting over his forehead.
"Your worst nightmare." The boys face flickered, twisting with revulsion,
Dusk managed to crack a smile, even though if he had a heart it would be hammering in his chest. This boy gave him the serious creeps! Moving slowly forward, the boy pulled out a long, smooth stick from his belt, pressing the tip straight onto his chest, and dusk could almost laugh, momentarily frozen with confusion. He couldn't believe he had been scared for a second there, scared of some child lunatic with a pointy twig. The boy opened his mouth, strange words sliding out of it, and some invisible threads wrapped tightly around Dusk's limbs, leaving him truly frozen to the spot.
"I don't know what you are," the boy glared, staring him down at the door.
"But you are evil, and you've already had one chance."
Dusk wanted to scream; the two of them had never even met- Dusk had never even fought him, or better, bit him, and the child was going to be his death.
"And now?" The boy paused, pulling back his stick for one heart stopping moment.
"I'm going to have to kill you". Dusk couldn't comprehend the rushed, tangled words, but the pain flashed through him before he could worry about it, arching his back and tearing at his skin. This was more pain than he had ever even imagined, too much for movement, or speech, or even comprehensive thought, expect for one understanding.
He was going to die.
Dusk slammed up in his bed, heaving desperately, his stomach lurching, overridden with the sensation of being alive.
Finally, with a few more gasping breaths, he struggled to speak. "I am never watching Harry .Potter before bed again." He gasped, pressing himself back into the pillows
