The Stalker #wattys2016

It's ok. I'm here.

recap-

I slowly nodded. I honestly was a little frightened. "What if he did get me?"

"I wouldn't let him."

"Michael. Seriously, what if somehow, someday, something happened to you
and he gets me?"

"Then I've prepared you."

end of recap-

It's been a couple of days since Michael taught me all those new things and Mason has been making move after move on me, but I just simply kick him in the balls and bolt. Everyday Michael has been teaching me new defense spells. Michael and I walked back home after we spent a couple of hours learning more spells and going over the repeatedly. I crossed my hands together in front of me feeling a bit self conscious since he kept glancing at me. "Gracie." Michael said. I turned to face him to see a he had a nervous face. "Yes?"

"I was wondering, if, uhm," he scratched the back of his neck, "you could ever forgive me. After all I have done to you, I don't expect you to forgive me right off, but if you think you could sometime. I would be the happiest man in the world."

I was silent for a few moments before nodding. He smiled at me and we continued walking. I felt something warm slid down my arm then my wrist and grasp my hand. I look up to see Michael smiling at me.

"Can I? I need to feel your touch."

I nodded and looked forward. We made it to the end of the woods and I let go of his hand. He looked down at me with a confused and sad expression. "What's wrong?"

"Mason," I say as I point towards the house, "He's there and he'll see."

Michael shook his head and grasp the back of my neck. He brought my head closer to him. I felt his lips connect with my forehead and I closed my eyes at the sensation. His lips were so smooth and plump. He reluctantly pulled back and sighed. He rested his forehead on mine. I looked up at him and saw his eyes closed. Our rapid breathing became one. "I don't care about Mason Gracie. You're mine and only mine. I will protect you with all I am. If I have to kill my brother in order to have you and keep you safe, then dammit that's what I am going to do."

He finally opened his eyes and looked deeply into mine. I looked down at his lips then back to his eyes. His eyes darkened and he licked his lips. "Can I kiss you Gracie?"

My heart was racing and I could hardly breathe. I nodded slowly.

He smiled and moved my hair out of my face. "So beautiful." He whispered before he crashed his lips to mine. Our lips moved in sync. It was slow and passionate. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him impossibly closer. After a couple minutes of the most amazing kiss I have ever had we pulled away gasping for breath. "That," he kissed one side of my cheek, "was," he kissed the other, "amazing." he pecked my lips. I blushed and smiled up at him.

"Now if I want to hold your hand, then I will." He says as he grasps my hand in his gently pulling me towards the house. Michael was about to open the door, but Mason opened it. His hair was now blonde and he was shirtless.
(Picture at the top ;)
I stared in disbelief at him, why would he color his hair. "Like what you see?" Mason asked while smirking at me. "Barely."

"So you admit that you like it a little bit."

"You must be very desperate."

He chuckled, "baby I think you're desperate for this." He said while gesturing towards his body. I admit he had a very nice body, but I wouldn't ever get with him for nothing. "Mason." Michael said in a warning voice. Mason kept his gaze at me looking up and down my body he shot his eyes up to mine, "yes brother?" He bit his lip.

"Gracie," He says as he wraps his arm around my waist, "is mine."

Mason glared at Michaels arm that is around my waist. "I suggest you let go of what's mine brother before I make you."

Michael chuckled, "I'd like to see you try."

Mason smirked. "Tarhorlie."

Michael double over in pain, he bit his lip to hold back a scream. "Is that the best you got, kahro?" (weakling)

Mason's face contorted from one to victorious to full on rage. "Karhato!"

Michael was flung out of my grasp and up into the air then dropped roughly to the ground. "Michael!" I screamed I was about to run to him when Mason grasp my arm.

"Let me go! Before I make you!"

"Did I ever tell you I love when you are feisty?"

"Did I ever tell you I love when you're in pain?!" I shouted

He chuckled and brought his face down to mine. He attempted to kiss me, but I moved my face to the side. He sighed, "why are you so difficult."

"Why are you such an annoying little bitch?"

Masons face turned red. He pushed me away and back handed me. I fell to the ground clutching my cheek. He crouched down to my level and grasp my chin firmly forcing me to face him. He tilted his head to the side and pursed his lips, "now sweetheart, I suggest you take that back. Or I'll make you." He said the last part with a demonic voice.

"Do your worst." I said confidently.

He shook his head and looked down. He then smirked and looked up to me with red eyes. I gasped. "Trust me baby I will."

He grabbed my hair and pulled me up roughly. I was on my feet clutching my hair while trying to pry his hand off my hair. I screamed and glared at him. He looked into my eyes and they flashed purple. Mason gasped then his arm was caught on fire. He screamed bloody murder as the fire spread. He kept screaming foreign chants trying to make the fire go out, but it just wouldn't. "What!" He screamed, "Is this?!"

Michael groaned and stood up then walked over to me and held my hand. "That my dear brother is Vos Amo."

"That's not possible! They're extinct!"

"Not anymore." Michael said proudly.

I looked at him confused and he winked. The fire was now all over his body and he fell to his knees. "No!" He screamed while grabbing his face.

"I love you." He whispered before he took his last breath and fell to the ground.

Tears threatened to surface and I closed my eyes. I was finally free. I felt the tears run slowly down my cheeks to my lips. I licked my lips and tasted the salty tears. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I dropped to my knees and bursted out crying. Michael instantly dropped next to me and englufed me into him.
"It's ok. I'm here."
