The Presence

Chapter 3- The Dreams

      I got home late afternoon and figured I'd shower when I woke back up. There was no way I would sleep all night, although I felt that I could. I just stripped my clothes off, fell into my bed and felt unconciousness take over me.

      ~~~I woke up a little groggy still, and jumped a little when I realized that there was a head laying on my chest. It was still dark outside, I looked over at alarm clock and seen that it was 3 am. Damn, I slept long. Lilo mustve came over sometime in the night, but usually she would wake me up. I ran my fingers up along her back, and kissed the top of her head.

      I loved her alot, there was nothing I wouldnt   do for her. I met her at a very hard time in my life. After the Presence had gone, but before I had mentally healed from the ordeal. I was still having nightmares, but they were just nightmares, not alive. I was scared to be with her because I didnt want to lose her like I had lost so many others. I blamed myself for the loss of others, and the guilt about killed me. Even though I didnt tell Lilo everything that happened, she knew enough to know that it made me tend to not let myself get close to people. But she stayed by me the whole time.

      Things have been really going good lately. The Nightmares have stopped completely, I was starting to let myself love again. I was letting people get close to me. If it wasnt for Lilo, I would still be a lonely hermit of sorts.

      She stirred a little bit and sighed. Sliding her hand up my chest and back down. She pushed herself up so her head was by my neck and started kissing it gently as her hand slid down into my boxers. She rubbed me slowly and I let out a little moan. She then traced her tongue down along my chest and down my stomach, pulling my boxers down as she went. I felt her chin resting against me as she let go of me and lifted her head up. She took me into her mouth and left it there rising up and down on me until I couldnt hold off any longer. 

       "Lilo..." I said trying to tell her. She took me deeper and I couldnt stop myself. She never let go until I was done. 

      Wow. She had never done that before. Not like that anyway. She pulled herself back up so she was laying her head on my chest again.

      She breathed deeply and sighed. She looked up at me slowly. I couldnt see her in the dark, but saw the twinkle of her eye.

      "Why did you let him get me?" she sighed again.

      What?? I thought maybe I misunderstood her, she had whispered it.

      She pulled away from me and rested her elbow on the bed and her head on her hand and looked up at me.

       "Why did I what Lilo?" I asked unsure if she said what I thought she said.

       "Why. Did. You. Let. Him. Get. Me.?" No mistaken what she said that time, but it wasnt Lilo.

       I reached over and switched on the lamp on my nightstand and jumped up and out of my bed.

      "What the Hell!!!??"

       Clarissa was looking at me with sad eyes.

       "I told you he would be back." she said to me bluntly.

       And she had told me that, she was right. I didnt want to listen though. I thought it was all over, apparantly I was wrong. And somehow she knew it. After all she had met with the same Presence in her life. It was for this reason she trusted Lilo and I. Well me mainly, but Lilo is so easy to trust and love that I cant see no one not liking her.

      "Anthony." stated plainly. "You have to find her."

      I knew she was right. But I had no idea how. All of a sudden an overwhelming feeling overcame me. I was right there when Clarissa died and just came home and slept. But I knew there was nothing I could do for her.
