Guardian *COMPLETED* (Dark luke hemmings story)

Chapter 23

"They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too"

------

Abbie's POV -

Jo, Mickey, Faye and I had managed to get away from the accident with no real injures. I think the most damage was done to Faye; as she had a sprained wrist - But that was it.

It all happened so fast - one minute we were driving along calmly and then the next there was a 16 wheeler lorry hurtling towards us. Luckily, Faye slammed her brakes on and we swerved into the centre of the road with the cars behind us following suit.

The accident looked far worse than it actually was. Police and the media swarmed the scene and there were people talking to me left-right-and-centre.

But we had managed to escape in just under twenty minutes.

"Oh" Jo exclaimed "Michael has called me twenty times! I guess they heard about the accident on the news" she finished and we all bought out our phones. The boys had tried calling us multiple times but leaving panicked messages when we didn't pick up.

I thumbed Luke's number into my keypad before raising the phone to my ear - but he didn't pick up; weird.

---

We all managed to stumble up to Jo and Michael's apartment and the girls were immediately tackled into hugs. There were a lot of 'I love you' and 'I was so worried' being thrown around. It was sweet.

My smile faltered slightly as I didn't see Luke.

"Hey guys? where's Luke?" I questioned.

Ash pulled out of Mickeys grip and replied "he went to your apartment, something about needing air and better signal"

I nodded in reply and made my way up the staircase towards our apartment.

As I arrived I placed my key in the lock and opened the door.

"Luke? babe? where are you?" I called out whilst putting my bags in the sofa and walking towards the bedroom.

As I opened the door I smiled as I saw Luke standing in the centre of the room with his back to the door.

Walking towards him I wrapped my arms around his torso from behind in greeting before pulling away and saying.

"Luke you should have seen it! it was so scary I thought we would have been worse off than we were but as it turns out we survived. Sorry if I made you worry"

I said but my eyebrows furrowed as a deep chuckle erupted from Luke.

Why's he laughing?

"Why would i worry about you?" Luke said whilst turning around slowly.

My heart dropped.

He wore a familiar sinister smile, dark eyes and his veins were visible.

"Luke?" I questioned shakily whilst taking a step backwards.

"Sorry Luke's a bit..... preoccupied at the moment" Luke said in a scratchy voice before lunging at me.

I let out a scream before running into the lounge and sprinting towards the door. I could feel Luke hot on my tail but I pressed forwards.

I skidded to a stop as I came to the elevator. I looked behind me but he wasn't there.

My heartbeat was pounding in my ears as fear streaked through me. That 'thing' wasn't Luke. Something was possessing him. He had turned dark - both of our worst nightmares were coming true.

I frustratingly pressed the button before giving up - I could feel his heavy presence near me. Giving up I threw open the staircase door and ran down the stairs tripping every so often.

"Abbie!" Luke yelled from close behind me but it only caused me to run faster. I crashed through the staircase door and ran towards Jo and Michael's door. I slammed my hands against the door repeatedly in panic.

"Jo?, Michael? guys help me!" I pleaded.

The stair well door suddenly slammed open and Luke's body stood in the middle of it. He looked scary. He started to stride towards me and I banged on the door again in panic.

The door flew open and a confused, yet disheveled, Michael stood before me. I pushed past him and slammed the door behind me.

"What happened Abbie? are you hurt?" Michael questioned whilst hot tears ran down my face as I gripped onto Jo's hug.

"Luke has turned dark and he's chasing me" I cried but became panicked as we could hear his angry banging on the door.

All was silent for a moment and we all looked at each other confused. I released Jo from my death-like grip and took a step back whilst running a hand over my face.

But the peace was cut short as I let out a scream as someone grabbed me, harshly, from behind.
