Chapter 9
It's been 2 years. 2 devastatingly depressing years. Each day I trained, each day I ate less and less. Each day I got thinner, each day I became more dead. But today I'm going to leave. I'm going to go to Valentine and love her and marry her and live with her until she dies. That's the plan. The only plan, because I know she would never betray me.

I fix my tie, she hopefully will still love me. I can't really watch her from the underworld, can't get that heavenly wifi.

"Goodbye everyone."

"Good bye Shadow."

"Bye Killer."

My nicknames are pretty harsh but they're true. Shadow because I move like I'm a shadow, silent. But right behind you. Killer is obvious. I have quite the good reputation down here. Too bad I couldn't even enjoy the words of praise.

I step through the portal, squinting at the blinding light. The underworld is so dimly lit. I have to sit down and let my eyes adjust.

After I'm not so blind, I look around, finding the beautiful house that I know holds Valentine. They fixed the house up nicely, the driveway has a single car. I hope her parents aren't home or I'll have a hit more explaining to do than I want.

I can't wait to see her! Maybe we'll buy a cottage somewhere, anywhere but here though. I never really know where here is. I just know it has lots of neighborhoods, and it's right below where I used to live and right above the underworld portals.

I wonder how God is doing. No, I don't wonder, she's better off without me.

The house starts to get bigger as I approach it, I see hand prints on the side of the wall. I get a flashback of William and Valentine painting the house, no doubt those hand prints were Williams.

I don't really want to risk seeing her parents, so I go to the back of the abode. I believe William should be 8. He was such a cute child, I'm so excited to see them. I float up to Valentine's window, my smile dropping.

There my baby is, a guy thrusting into her as she writhes in ecstasy. I drop to the ground bringing my legs to my chest. "No, this can't be happening. She forgot about me, I thought she would remember, I gave her my fang, MY FANG!" I feel anger surge through me. "She was mine! She IS MINE!" I storm to the front door, putting on a false smile and knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Remember the pretty lady who helped you?" The door opens and William is standing there, smiling at me.

"I remember you, thank you for helping."

"You're welcome, you're too good of a kid." He stands back and I enter. Aren't Holstein not supposed to let strangers into their homes? Stranger danger?

"Where's your sister?"

"Upstairs with her icky boyfriend."

"VALENTINE!!" There is a yelp and a grunt. "Willy, can you color me a picture?"

"I can draw one too!" He runs off, I storm up the stairs.

"Oh V." I knock 3 times on the door.
"Remember me Luv? Remember you told me you would never forget. I promised you I would come back in two years. Here I am." The door opens and the blonde boy looks pissed.

"What the hell do you want freak?"

"I need to speak with Valentine if you don't mind."

"I do mind so fuck off." He goes to close the door, but I put my hand in the way. He panics and the door swings open to reveal Valentine rushing to put on her pants. She squeaks and I push past her boyfriend.
