Dark Shadows 2-Dead Love

"Did you hear that?" Julia got up from the bed.

"No" Barnabas looked slightly confused.

"Shh, I hear it again. Something is downstairs"

Barnabas grabbed Julia by the waist and hoisted her back. He pulled her close and kissed her ice cold lips.

"Shh nothing is wrong, nobody knows we are here"

Julia pulled away.

"How do you know?"

"Because my family promised they would tell no one, and you must always trust a Collins"

"What about Victoria, huh? What is she going to think about us? She will find out"

Barnabas snuggled back up to Julia.

"She couldn't care less, we are invincible. Us two together. I promise."

Julia got up and chucked a ripped top onto her bare chest.

"Well I don't think we are alone"

Barnabas got up and pulled on a dressing gown to cover up his pale white flesh.

"Okay, let's go and investigate...my little vamp"

"STOP SAYING THAT!"

Barnabas sniggered and followed Julia down the stairs.

She heard a smash in the kitchen. Julia's fangs slid down and replaced her yellow alcohol stained teeth.

She signalled Barnabas and whispered harshly

"In the kitchen"

Barnabas fangs slid down and his back arched. He followed Julia to the main hall. The portraits of the Collins family have been wrecked and torn to pieces.

Another smash in the kitchen. Barnabas's eye flared blood red. Julia peeped round the door. Only to see a figure. Female, Pale. Hunched over a limbless body. Blood was smeared all over the walls. Pots and pans are cluttered all over the floor, it was a sign of struggle. The female turned around. Her hair was chestnut brown and she wore a blue ripped dress.

"Hello Barnabas" Hissed the woman.

Julia shrieked and turned around to find Barnabas glaring at the woman.

"Victoria" Murmured Barnabas.

Julia swung her head around to look at the figure carefully.

"Winters, Victoria Winters" Julia stared at the dead body. Her eyes went blurry. Her head pounded, she didn't know if it was the hangover from last night, or the body that she somehow recognised. She knew who it was. She looked at Barnabas. He knew who it was. His body froze. It was Caroline.
