'Till Death Do Us Part. [Kellic]

Chapter Two.

My plan on having a lazy day today has been thrown out the window. Vic realized that our friends are coming over today. I'm disappointed to say the least. As much as I love our friends, I'd much rather lay in bed all day watching stupid movies and some making out, But we'll save that for another day we have the rest of our life's to do that, so no harm done anyway. Vic went on to have a shower before he heads out to the grocery store and I'm still lying on the bed, I haven't moved an inch since he went in... I'm lazy like that, it gives me time to think. I'm still getting used to the idea that I'm living in this huge house with the love of my life whom I just married yesterday.

I remember the day when he told me about this place. He was so excited that it made me excited and I hadn't even seen it. So when he showed me, I instantly fell in love with the place. It has a porch which stretches over the entire length of the house, with one of those swing bench things you see in the movies. The neighbors are like ten miles away from us. We are surrounded by trees which I really, really like... I like the outdoors. Then everything in here is made of wood, the floors, and the stairs. Long story short, I really love this house. Almost as much as I love Vic, BUT it's a close second. Now you're asking yourself; how can a 21-year-old and a 22-year-old buy such a house. Let's just say my parents are filthy rich and saved up money ever since the day I was born so yeah go figure. We went to take a look at it and decided right then and there that this was our house, our home. We decided that we wanted to move in after we got married, but moved everything else nonetheless so it was ready when we came.

"Kellin!" I snap out of it and look up confused as to why he is screaming my name. "Finally. Thank you." He sighs but smiles at me nonetheless. I guess I was a bit too far away in my thoughts, happens a lot. When we first met, he found it really annoying that that happened, he never told me but I knew, the look on his face always gave him away.

"Now that I got your attention, I'm heading out," He says moving over and kissing me. "I love you," He adds before pecking my lips one more time and leaving the room.

I heard him walking down the stairs making them squeak every time he put a foot down heading for the door. "Babe!" I heard him call me from downstairs. "Yeah!" I called back.

"Have you seen my keys?"

"They're hanging on the hook in the hallway," I answered him. 'Gosh....’ I thought to myself that boy always loses everything. This one time he lost his phone, we searched his whole house, up and down but nowhere to be found. So I decided to call him so we could follow the sound and get this... It was in his pocket the whole fucking time.

"They're not hanging on the hook!" Vic called again. I let out a groan and got out of bed to help him search for his keys. He was just standing there, waiting for me to find is key... I roll my eyes at him and make my way over to the kitchen. Not even a minute later I found them in the kitchen laying on the counter top. I walk back into the living room dangling the keys with a proud smile.

"How did they get there..?" He asks. I shrug. He must've left them there no other explanation. "You must've left them there...” I say and walk over to him.

He shrugs as I hand him the keys along with a little kiss before he heads out to get the groceries. He would be gone for a while since the store isn't really around the corner. But we didn't mind we love the peace and quiet around here. I remember from the neighborhood I grew up in that the neighbors tend to be quite interested in each other especially when things are going down. And to be honest, a lot went down in our neighborhood. That's why this is perfect, no surrounding neighbors to butt in your life, no screaming children at every hour of every day. Don't get me wrong, I love kids... but the screaming... please no.

An hour has passed, and I got myself presentable, well, just some skinnies and a tank top. But found myself sitting bored on the couch watching some TV, actually just flicking through the channels, nothing worthy of my attention is on so I decided to go outside for a walk. Vic wouldn't be home for an hour or so, perfect time to explore our garden, which is huge, by the way. I went back upstairs to put on one of Vic's oversized hoodies, well you can probably call it mine by now but that's beside the point. I put on some shoes and walk back to the kitchen where I can step out into the garden, the cold winter air hit my face. I promptly put my hands inside the pockets of my hoodie and start walking further.

I wandered along the side of a lake that was oddly enough sitting in the middle of our garden, I don't mind, though. I love the reflection of the sun in the calming water, has me staring and dozing off. Days were so short this time of year. But this reminded me again of that first kiss with Vic, which has become so much more than just a kiss. The water calmly flooded up and down the dry land. I sat myself down on the ground crossed legged, completely focused on the water when I see a small brown figure floating in the water coming closer to me. First I thought it was just some piece of wood floating in the water but as is came closer curiosity got the best of me and I stood up to get a better view. The "wood" slowly came closer and closer. I curiously waited for it to be close enough for me to see what it was. Once it was close, enough I saw that it wasn't just a piece of wood. It was something else. I scrunched down to take a better look at it, It was a teddy bear, a worn out, filthy teddy bear probably belonged to a child who had lost it around here. The cold wind blew into my face, making me shiver a bit. The sun had fully set now, and it was getting dark out here. I turned to the house and started to walk back to warm up. Vic was probably back by now, I don't know how long I've been here. As I started walking towards the house, I heard a small sound, a whimper of some sort. I stopped walking so I could listen more closely.

"No!"

There it was again but now it wasn't a faint sound, but a clear voice of a child. I slowly turned around to see where the sound came from, me being a pussy, I was scared shitless to say the least. In the lake on the spot where the teddy bear had floated just some minutes ago, there was a small boy standing. His skin was pale and his clothes torn and soaking wet from the ice cold water. I completely froze as I look down on the little boy who couldn't have been any older than three! He seemed scared and lost. As frightened as I was, I couldn't let him see that. I needed to be calm and collected so that the child felt safe with me. I slowly walked towards the child, wanting to help him, get him inside to warm up.

"Stop it!" The small child cried.  His voice filled with desperation and pain. Tears were rolling down his face. I ran up to him to help him.

"Get out of the water, you'll freeze," I told him calmly but there was panic in my voice but I couldn't help it. "No... She would get mad...” the boy answered. She? Who is he talking about? There is no one around!

"There's no one here...” I told him while looking around swiftly. To make absolutely sure, but it's dark and I can't see shit.

I turned back to the boy and put on a warm smile for both his and my own reassurance. The boy doesn't make any type of movement to walk out of the water. I stepped into the water to get the boy out. The water was freezing cold, Not your typical freezing but literally so cold it burns. I pushed myself through it and reached for the boy. Once I got a hold of him, I lifted him out the water and onto dry land. He was cold as ice and trembling, just as I was by now. I reached for my phone to call 911. I looked around again to see if anyone was looking for the boy, but I could still see nothing. Maybe I'll just take him back inside with me and let Vic decide what we should do.

"I told you she would get mad...” My head snaps back at the boy his voice wasn't at all sweet and scared anymore like it was just a few minutes ago, and I could swear he had this grin tucked on in his lips. What the hell was going on?

It terrified me and I fell on my back. I looked back up at the child, but I wished I hadn't. His pale skin was covered in ashes. Blood was dripping down his body. Burn marks covered his arms, legs, and face. It was gruesome to look at as he slowly walked towards me. In my terrified state I lost control over my body and was unable to move away from him. He looked at me, his big blue eyes piercing trough my soul. He looked at me like he was out for my blood. Thoughts came rushing through my mind; is this how I die? Murdered by a three-year-old boy with a teddy bear? This is ridiculous! And where the hell is Vic!? He should've come home by now! Tears of fear rolled down my face. The blood lusty child came close and closer. He stood at my feet a smirk appeared on his face and opened his mouth showing me his teeth or rather his fangs. He's going to kill me. I tried to scream but nothing would come out.

"Kellin!" I shot up, sweat dripping from my forehead. "What the fuck," I mumbled as I looked up into Vic's concerned face.

"Bad dream?" he asked. I nodded, still not fully understanding what the fuck had happened. It was all a dream, but it felt so real. But instead, I'm lying on the couch. My mind is all over the place and I could feel tears well up, this is some scary shit, I've had nightmares before, but this, it seemed too real to be a dream.

"Hey come on now, it was just a dream." Vic sat beside me and pulled me to him his arm around my shoulder. I sighed and let my head rest on his shoulder. "I know, it just seemed so real." I felt him kissing the top of my head before he rests his head on it.

"Let's get your mind on something else, we have to start dinner if we want it done before the friends come." I can't help smiling at that. I have to be honest I was hoping he would go with something else, but making dinner would do, for now.
