Chapter 3
Michael and Shane stood in front of me protectively, as frightened tears streamed down my face. i’ve been in lots of danger before, don’t get me wrong, but Dean probably scares me the most. what he did to Claire was really bad, and you could tell the others were just as scared as me.
To break the tension, Michael asked way too calmly “ so where is he now then?”
Amelie had a pitied look on her face, and it took me a few seconds to realise that it was directed to me. “I’m sorry, but we haven’t seen him since he was in jail, so he could be anywhere in the town now. We have vampires and humans alike looking for him, but we expect him to come for Elinor in the next few days”
That sent a shiver down my spine, and by the looks of it, down everybody elses spines also.
Amelie continued, “so we suggest that you don’t leave the house at all until Dean is caught, Elinor, only in an emergency.” And with that, she started up the stairs, to the hidden room, and we all heard the portal snap shut with a pop as Amelie left the Glass House.
Nobody said anything for a few minutes, until i made my way to the couch and curled up into a ball. Michael came and sat next to me, and hugged me close.
“its gonna be okay El” he said soothingly, “he’s not gonna hurt you.”
“yeah, but how do you know that?” i looked up at Michael and was well aware of the tears streaming down my face “Dean could be sat outside waiting for me at right this second and there is nothing that can be done about it!” i then moved into the full blown sobbing stage. After around 5 minutes of crying i drifted into a deep sleep.
Michael’s POV
I honestly didn’t know what to say to Ellie. She was so scared, and to be honest, we all were. What he did to Claire scared all of us so much, and we were so glad when we heard Dean had been killed. But he hadn’t.
After about 5 minutes of crying, she fell asleep in my arms. Eve came and sat next to me, and Shane and Claire sat on the other couch.
“what do we do?” Shane said, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
That was a good question. What do we do?
“well, what are the options?” Claire said, she was always the practical one, thinking about all of the possibilities on the table. We really needed that now.
“well, one, we could take it in turns to stay in the house with El, as staying home alone wouldn’t be the best option for her at the moment, or two......erm...” i trailed off. There isn’t another option, well another safe option anyway.
“i think that is the only option” Eve said matter of factly . “i mean, Michael cant take her to work, and neither can I or Shane, and Claire cant take her to college. It would be too dangerous.” We all nodded our heads in agreement.
“but how long is this going to go on for? If Dean doesn’t come in the next few days, this could go on for months” Shane said.
“that might be his plan, if, after a few weeks or so, the police stop looking, and we let our defences down. It would be the easiesyt way to get to her” i said sadly.
I looked down at my baby sister, sleeping in my arms. I feel so bad for her, having to go through this at such a young age, as well as Alyssa, her best friend dying, and Mom and Dad dying in front of her eyes.
“we need to do anything and everything we can to help her” i said, still looking at Ellie, “ we cant let anything happen to her”.
I looked at the others. They thought of Ellie as a younger sister as well. Especially Shane, as with Alyssa gone, he needs someone to protect as well as Claire.
“i’ll start tomorrow morning, as the three of you have work and college in the morning” offered Shane.
“yeah, and i only work until lunch tomorrow, so i will spend the afternoon with her” Eve piped up.
Just as i was about to say something, El moved and whimpered in my arms. She must be having a nightmare, i probably would be at this point. She then started crying and squirming in my grip. I was making comforting noises every now and then, but she seemed to be getting worse. All of a sudden, she gave a piercing scream and shot up, awakened from her nightmare.
Elinor’s POV
In my dream, i was in my bed, just getting up for the morning. I went downstairs but soon found no one in the house. Starting to get scared, i tried to phone someone but someone had cut the phonelines off. I made my way to the kitchen but found Dean hiding behind the door with a knife.....
I shot up, sweating and shaking. ‘shhhh,shhhhh, it was just a dream’ i could hear Michael saying. I started looking around the room frantically, seeing if Dean was here to get me. When i was satisfied that he wasn’t here. I relaxed back onto Michael. This is going to be a long night.
there you go!
i'll try to upload asap:)
