I was running again frantically, like a fanatic away from nothingness and towards a man, whose face was hazy, scarred. I can't recognize him. My legs were shaking. I was unable to run, I felt as if the man will go away leaving me in this wilderness...
Meet me at the graveyard after college. That was all I can think of. His voice was ringing in my ears. That voice, that long forgotten, oh-so resembling voice. I was about to meet a part of my soul, but was I ready? I gulped as I strolled the roads towards the graveyard, Eddie's warning ringing somewhere in background. She is not even going to the graveyard now and not that stupid friend of yours.
I walked past the houses, the market, the vehicles with just one thought in my mind,
Meet me at the graveyard after college!
"Emma" A vehicle zoomed past me and stopped inches away from where I was standing. Matt hopped out of it.
"Matt, what the hell?" I shouted, groaning inwards.
"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." He said holding my hand in his.
"Where were you today? You skipped the college." I asked him
"Yeah, had to take care of some issues." He said. He clearly was trying to avoid something. "Where were you going?" he asked, still holding my hands.
"Aaam, ummm. Nowhere in particular." I said, trying to conceal the fact that I was going to that same place I am sort of forbidden to.
"You were going to the graveyard, weren't you?" he asked with concern in his eyes.
"Matt....No, I wasn't" I said trying to lay emphasis on 'no'.
"Really? Emma don't lie to me." He said
"And you can lie to me as much you want?" I said, anger seething within me.
"Huh? When did I lie to you?" he asked clearly hurt.
"Right now! Why were you absent?" I asked again. I knew deep down I have no grounds to be angry and neither I should ask him about his absence. I had no right to.
"I am not lying. I told you I had some personal problems."
"And....?" I tried to price out information.
"Emma, my grandmother isn't well. She is sick." He said. His eyes mirrored the amount of sadness he was feeling.
"I....I am sorry Matt. How is she now?" I asked him.
"She isn't good, Em. I don't know what is happening with her." He said. He left my hands and disappointment washed over me. I went forward and clasped his hands in mine, just the way he did before. He looked at me. There was something in those eyes. Hurt? Yes! Sadness? Yes! Something unrecognisable? Yes!
" Would you like to meet her?" he asked me with so much hope that h just could not deny. Yes I wanted to meet Alex, but I didn't want Matt to intervene. I had a lot of questions for Alex and my heart bled at the thought of leaving that golden opportunity but I didn't had the heart to say 'no' to Matt. Oh God!
"Let's go to her then. I always wanted to meet her." I nudged him.
"Okay, but she is not tolerable. Last time one of my friends met her, she left me." He said.
"Yeah, I know Lisa right?." I asked opening the passenger door and sliding in.
"Are you sure? I can drop you to your place instead." He asked again.
"Positive." He gave me a beautiful smile and drove us away from the graveyard.
He took her, he fucking took her away from me. How dare he? Emma was so close to me but that good for nothing, pain in ass Matt Keyton drove her away from me. He is going to pay for it. I will make him pay for his mistake. No one and I repeat no one take away my things from me.
But, first I have a score to settle. I cannot let Emma roam around in danger. I have to eradicate all that are a threat to her.
Oh! Emma, you have no idea how long I have waited for you to return. I was so dumbstruck when I felt your presence beside me. All your positive energy balancing out my negative. Your fragrance was driving me crazy. You have no idea how close I was to hold you and kiss the life out of you, but I can't. Not unless I have a fucking body. Not before I place my soul within a figure. Not unless I can control my power. I can't have you now or it would be fatal, and you are the only one who can help me have a form.
But in the mean-time, I can play with my recent captive. I can feed on his soul and absorb his energy.
