The Beautiful and Divine

Chapter Seven: Wretched and Divine

I stay the night at Harry's, knowing I can't really go home. I wear his blue and black plaid shirt and black shorts to bed he pulls his white shirt over his head showing his bare back to me. Hazz takes off his pale blue jeans, just sleeping in plaid basketball shorts. I watch his shoulder blades roll after each action, trying not to drool. Why is a boy's bare back so sexy, I resist the strong urge to pin him to the bed and screw him senseless.

We brush our teeth and our hair before we are ready to go to sleep, I braid my hair at the foot of the bed to keep it all in one place. I tie my hair off before I crawl to the headboard to meet Harry there, we both wiggle under his fluffy comforters. I curl up into my fetal position next to him pressing my back on his it's relaxing having my back up against something. When I sleep it reassures me nothing can sneak up and grab me from out of sight. Har leans up turning off the light soon the room settles into silence.

My eyes remain open as they gaze around the dark room, a sixth sense tells me to look out the window across from us. I carefully side out from under the blankets of the queen bed, treading softly I make it to the rectangular looking glass. Observing the orange lit sidewalk below a shadow leans against a brick building. My gut tingles upon laying eyes on the person, I turn back looking at Harry who is sleeping peacefully in bed. The floor creaks as I walk out of the room, closing the door slowly.

I patter down the carpeted stairs making my way to the front door. Slipping on flip-flops I go outside, going where I saw the being standing. Reaching the street lamp the shadow is gone, doing a full circle spin searching around. My eyes land on the ghost like thing standing farther away, I run towards it stopping a few steps away. The figure steps into the apricot light, it can't be him could it?

"Ezekiel?" I call out, the peach glow reflects on the stranger's smooth face.

"Not exactly." The eldest twin answers with a dangerous smirk spread across his lips, "You must be Jade the girl my younger brother is so fascinated by." he chuckles.

"I do not believe we have met." I growl taking a step back from this intruder, "Oh did I forget to introduce myself, I'm Andy. Andy Black." he announces himself bowing respectfully.

I stand still holding my ground, the elder Black leans back up towering over me by at least a head. Keeping a close eye on his every move I start making my way back to Harry's house.

"Goodbye then Mr. Black, it is late and I have school so I'm afraid I must retire." I steadily voice, starting down the sidewalk a whoosh of air rushes past me.

Andy stands in front of me his black suit not even wrinkled, "I wasn't done talking to you." he snickers.

The man in black smiles, flashing me his pearly white teeth. He brushes over them with his pink tongue, before my eyes sharp fangs appear in its wake. I know the elder twin isn't a vampire, for I can see all evil things so what is he?

"Are you afraid kitten?" The sharply dressed man speaks softly, "Alarmed, not afraid." I correct him masking a sense of fear.

"You will be once I'm done with you." Andy smiles to me, he swiftly presses me up against the brick wall inside of the closest ally.

My head rests on the cold rough surface of the siding I can only look back to Andy who's eyes have turned from blue to a crisp amber. Two slit pupils gaze back at me, staring deep into my soul. I recognize those kinds of eyes they mirror a leopard's. They dilate slowly turning normally round Andy Black is a kind of cat shifter. I need to get away from this situation now he can turn me!
