The Return Book Two in the Dark Start series

Chapter 2

     The door opened and I looked into the eyes of Damien. I told you, you can't escape me. I looked around and everything turned to dust and I was standing in the middle of the town square.
     I raised my fists and swung at Damien. He ducked and held me up by my neck and I grabbed his wrist and tried to push away from his grip. "Help!" I screamed and Damien tightened his grip.
     There was a gunshot and Damien dropped me. I fell to the ground and coughed and then breathed in. I stood up and saw Damien turn towards someone.
     I ran behind him and kicked him in the back of the knee. He went onto one knee on the ground and he turned to look at me. I punched him in the face and his head turned and then there was another gunshot. Damiens head turned to the left and then he looked at me and the hole in the side of his head grew back into skin.
     He stood up and I punched him in the face, once, twice, three times and then he fell on the floor. I backed away and then a tentacle shot at my face. Another gunshot and the tentacle turned back into Damiens arm.
     I looked over and saw Jack running towards me, he slid in front of me, threw up a lighter, stood up and aimed his pistol at Damien. I walked next to him and lit the lighter. Stop, I will kill both of you in a heartbeat. I lifted the lighter towards my chest.
Don't do it, I will kill you. I put the lighter closer to my chest and the flame was almost touching my shirt. My veins popped out of my arm and my breath quickened. I looked at Damien and his eyes turned yellow.
     His arm shot out at the lighter and squeezed it and it shattered. "Fall." I said and a tree fell down on top of Damien. "Let's get back to the car." Jack said and turned. We ran back to his car and got in, and then drove back to his house.
     We pulled into Jacks driveway and got out of the car. Jack looked behind me as I got out and then ran to the front door. I opened the door and we walked inside. I closed the door behind Jack and locked it. I turned and Jack ran at me and gave me a hug. "I thought you were dead." Jack said.
     Where are you? "Shit, turn the lights off." I told Jack and we ran to the light switches and flipped them off. I ran and pulled out a knife from the knife drawer. I ran to the side of the curtain and held the knife to my chest.
     I saw the shadow of Damien through the window and then I heard him say "We'll get him later." I saw the shadow of a dog like creature with hollow eyes and razor sharp teeth. I closed my eyes and then the shadow disappeared.
     I walked back over to the light switch and turned the lights on. I put the knife back in the drawer and Jack said "You should take a shower, we're about the same size clothing, you can borrow a pair of my clothes."
    "Thanks." I said and then Jack said, "I'll get you a towel and leave some clothes outside of the bathroom. I nodded and said "Thanks." I walked upstairs and into the bathroom, took my clothes off and looked at my body. I was skinny and had cuts on my body.
     I saw one going across my chest and I touched it and felt a small pain. I winced and then turned the shower on. As the water warmed up I looked in the mirror and was shocked. My face was dirty and I didn't look different at all. I had no facial hair though and then I thought How am I not dead, I didn't eat or drink, or seem to aged at all.
     Your not dead because I am you, I never age and never starve or thirst. "What the fuck?" I said out loud and then I looked around. I looked at the door and saw Damien but the blurry figure of him. I stumbled back and then he was gone. "What the hell?" I said and then turned around and got into the shower.
