Chapter Nine - I Wish This Wasn't A Nightmare, Cause Then You Wouldn't Be In It.
Dean’s P.O.V
Finally it was Friday, I don’t think I could have been any happier. Except for Tara not talking to me. Ever since her little ‘episode’ in the kitchen she had been avoiding me at all costs, for the first two days I loved it, it was like everything was back to normal; before she came here. But by the third day, I was craving her attention, for her to make a sarcastic comment or even just talk to her stomach!
I didn’t realise how much this girl bloody affected me till I saw her incredibly late on Friday night … or maybe it was Saturday morning? Nina had a party at her place every Friday after the football games, so naturally the whole school went, even Tara’s friend Rachel did. It was pretty lame; I must admit I had been to waaaaay better parties. Drunk girls kept eye-raping me or at least trying to, it was hard to tell with all of them stumbling everywhere being drunk bimbos. Nina was the most sober out of all of them, and she was pretty smashed, she tried to pour drinks down my throat so we could have sex.
Somehow … it worked. I had banged Nina before I left to go home, I tried spending the whole night with Trent but he kept disappearing on me until I eventually gave up.
I stumbled into the pitch-black house, feeling around for the doorframe that led towards the living room and kitchen. Making my way through I managed to trip over something and fall flat on my face. I cursed under my breath before reaching out and trying to feel whatever it was that I tripped on.
I felt soft skin under my fingertips as I tried to decipher what it was. I got up from where I was and tried to find a source of light. I flicked on the light switch and gasped, Tara was the one I tripped over. I thought she was sound asleep before I saw the dried blood that was pooled around her head.
“Shit,” I muttered, “Boys! Get your lazy arses up right now! We have to go to the hospital!”

Tara’s P.O.V
I looked at the time once more on the alarm clock next to my bed. I watched the 11:59pm switch to 12:00am, I internally groaned; why couldn’t I sleep? I continued to roll over and over in my bed before my stomach growled loudly.
“Shh baby, I’ll get you something to eat,” I mumbled sleepily to my stomach while rubbing it like a pregnant mother would to her swollen belly.
I gathered myself up from my warm bed and shuffled silently through the corridors till I found my way to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and saw nothing my stomach wanted, it growled more in annoyance as it looked with its own eyes through the fridge and the pantry. I looked in the freezer and my stomach purred in happiness as my eyes landed on the tub of Neapolitan ice cream. I let out a small squeal of happiness. I grabbed it out of the freezer, found a spoon and ended up perching myself on the kitchen bench while happily eating the ice cream.
I ate till my stomach seemed to purr in contempt at being full. I put the half empty tub back into the freezer and walked to the bathroom. I needed to brush my teeth before I went back to bed, it was weird but I always had to have clean teeth after every meal, or little insects would like yucky mouth so much then when I slept they would lay their eggs in my mouth and then they would hatch in my mouth and then I would sallow them all and die. It sounds crazy but I saw a lady on YouTube talk about it, and everyone knows that YouTube doesn’t lie.
I walked lazily into the bathroom, switching the light on I found my toothbrush and began the scrupulous job of brushing my teeth till my gums bled. I checked the time on my watch as I continued to scrub the plaque off my teeth, it was 1:35am and I could feel my eyelids begin to droop from being up so late, Haziel must be so tired for me to act like this.
A small skittering rushed across the tiled floor of the bathroom, I looked behind me and found nothing, till I saw a little black mouse dart from one corner the room to the door that I left open ajar. I watched the tiled bathroom floor blankly for a few moments before I turned around to spit. But when I stood up to check my teeth in the mirror, I wish that I hadn’t.
The mirror was fogged up from an unknown steam and in it, written in a beautiful cursive print was the word ‘Awakening’.
My heartbeat seemed to stop at that moment as I stared at the word. A loud crash from behind me made me jump and turn around to the source. Someone – or should I say … something – broke through the ceiling and was now standing behind me. A huge male frame stood above me, a huge arm came out, collected me in it and twirled around till I was on the opposite wall.
The huge figure hunched over so that I could see its face. In that moment, I wished I were blind. Words couldn’t describe how beautiful and how terrifying this beast was in front of me.
I was right in saying that the huge frame was male, his skin was black, and I don’t mean as in he was African American; his skin was a midnight black, like a starless night sky. A strong angular jaw held slightly thing grey lips that looked like death had kissed them. Brown-red hair spiked out of his head and was mainly styled back except for a few bits that were too short and fell to the front of his face. A white mask covered the right half of his face, as it crept up his face it turned into long pieces of what I would guess as hair that fell over his real hair and down the left side past his shoulders. What truly convinced me that this thing wasn’t human were the eyes, they were grey, the whole eyeball; there was no way to tell if he had a pupil or an iris or that white bit. They were just a shining grey; they were so entrancing that I couldn’t look away. That was until is grey lips widen into a sly grin.
His hand reached out, he was wearing a pair of tattered red cloth gloves that exposed his fingers. They wrapped around my neck and began to squeeze slightly. A warm finger lifted from my neck and caressed my cheek before resting at the corner of my lips.
“Can you feel it?” He had a deep alluring voice, as his body leaned in closer to me, I could feel his body heat radiating off him and onto me. His unmasked cheek caressed mine as he whispered in my ear, “Can you feel the pulse … of the awakening?”
I gasped and my heartbeat kicked up a million notches. I struggled under his grip, I somehow was able to free myself and run out of the bathroom. I turned a corner and sprinted towards the kitchen, I thought that if I could grab a knife maybe I would have a chance standing up to him.
I tripped over something and felt something push me slightly. I fell over and banged my head on the corner of the small coffee table that sat next to the couches of the living room. I felt blood ooze out of my head, as I lay stationary on the floor. Not daring to move, I knew the monster was still in the house, I just wasn’t sure where.
A red boot found its way into my vision, I looked up to see the monster looking down at me with a smirk on his face, “I’ll come get you when I need you darling, till then,” He took a deep breath and lowered himself down to my level, his grey eyes locked onto mine before he moved his head so that I could only see his neck.
A cold slightly moist substance touched my bleeding injury, “Sleep.”
That was when my eyes shut, the blood loss became too much for me and I did exactly as the monster had told me … Slept.

Yeah this was pretty dark and totally weird but it had to be done, I just got an amazing idea for this story and this was the first part to the new idea. It will get a little confusing sometimes so if you dont understand something later one feel free to ask me :)
Also to the side is a photo of the monster that hurts Tara. Its freaky I know but its actually from one of my favourite animes which is Ergo Proxy. So I might ectually use that as the name for the monster because that is his actual name in the anime, so yeah I hope you bare with me :)
