Bloody Death

June 27th

Grace fussed and moved as she began to sweat in her sleep. She was panting really hard and had no control of how her body moved. She was grabbed by someone and woke up screaming.

Michael: Grace!

Grace looked at him and then stiffened.

Michael: Are you alright?

Grace: Michael..

She held onto him for her life and Michael rubbed her back.

Michael: It is alright Grace.. It was only a dream.

Grace was shaking form not only the cold, but from the horrid nightmare she had.

Grace: The face.. Those hands.. The cold dead hands.. The fangs..

Grace rambled. Michael held her close and kissed her to calm her down. He shushed her and spoke gently to her.

Michael: It was only a dream. I am here for you. I am right here.

Grace looked up at him and tried to calm herself.

Michael: Are you alright?

Grace nodded.

Michael: Are you sure? You are drenched in sweat.

Grace: I am fine.

Michael: Shall I draw a bath?

Grace: Not necessary, I am the servant. I shall draw my own.

Michael shook his head.

Michael: No longer are you a servant, a Queen to be.. My wife is who you are.

Grace nodded.

Grace: I shall be back.

Michael: When are you off to?

Grace: I do not know.

Michael: Allow me to come with you.

Grace: No! No.. Stay here and I shall return.

Michael was worried about her.

Michael: Grace, please. I insist.

Grace: I say no. I need no company at this moment.

Michael: But you are frightened.. Surely I may be able to escort you to your destination..

Grace: Michael.. I want no company of your kind right now.. Try to understand..

She left after those words and left Michael to wonder.

Michael: My kind?

Grace went into the kitchen and through the door to the stables. She made sure all the animals were asleep and went back inside. She went to the door that lead to the garden and sat in the grass. She was trying to get her mind off of the horrid dream and just focused on the positive things..

------Dream------

Grace was laying with Michael in his room on his bed and in his arms. The room became dark and they soon had fallen asleep. It was dark outside and the stars had come to shine their bright lights onto the world. The moon had come to christen the night with the light glow of.. red.. The bloody moon had returned.. The door opened slowly and made a loud creaking sound.

Grace arose from from her slumber and looked around. The door caught her eye first and then her.. The eye peered at her through the side of the doorway. She only saw the eye and part of the hand. Grace blinked and the eye was gone. Grace wanted to wake Michael but something urged her curiosity and took over her legs. It pulled her past the door and down the hall.
