Chapter 4 - Trapped (part 2)

When I woke up it was dark. Greg was fast asleep, stupid snoring bear I thought before smiling to myself and kissing his forehead. I slowly got up and walked towards the sliding doors that lead out onto a deck. I walked slowing taking in the cold air and the sounds of the lapping water close by. I sat down, my feet dangling from the deck. I heard footsteps behind me they were soft trends, not Greg's.

''Is this where you kill me'' I said sarcastically ''Fitting''

''No'' as his voice reached my ears I smiled stupidly to myself.

''So you are stalking me then''

''Stalking is a strong word… you intrigue me" really intrigued? Like I'm some specimen in a jar

''Do you want to come to sit, take a break from being a stalker'' still looking out at the water the moon was full tonight and had most of the place lit up?

''No'' I looked back with a sigh. Turning and getting up to look at Lucis.

''Okay, why are you here'' he just shrugged in response. ''are you the one I saw outside the window?"

''Yes, I saw lights on here so I was curious about who it could be''

"So you decided to become a peeping tom?"

"Honestly that wasn't my intention, I didn't expect to see you and the meathead getting busy right by the window''

'Wow, meathead? you don't even know the guy"

"True but he's standing in my way with getting to know you so yeah, meathead" I swallowed hard at that, clearing my throat before I talked again

'you at that one' I asked turning around and looking up the lit cabin across the lake

''Yes, I like the quiet and the lake gives me that''

''Ah huh, well…'' I made a move to walk towards the door to get back inside but Lucis moved so that he was blocking my path.

''Do you like playing games?''

''Games?'' my voice giving away my sudden heart rate spike, I cleared my throat ''What kind of games?''

''The ones you find on a computer I guess'' Lucis said putting his hands up in a defensive way

''Oh sorry,'' I looked down at my feet,

"There's a game that might interest you"

"Why would it interest me?"

"It takes you into a whole new world, you can be anyone, anything you want to be. A place you can escape the harsh reality of living life"

''What makes you think I need to escape?"

"well, again, you are out here with me instead of being in there" he cocked his head to the side a small grin playing at his lips, as he suddenly seemed to closer to me, his hand reaching out to touch my arm. I moved back slightly

"You don't know anything about me," I said slowly trying to contain the sudden urge to scream

"I know enough to know what goes on in that pretty little head of yours," he said lightly touching my temple with the tip of his middle finger "In fact I already know that when you are nervous you destroy your fingers" he slowly pulled my hand from my mouth "I know that you feel like your father betrayed you, and you have never really let a male in the way you have let the meathead in but, it's not enough for you is it? Little Lilith wants more doesn't she?'' Lucis' head suddenly swooped down inches from my face, my breath hitched in my chest and I stumbled backward, trying to put distance between us, that's when I noticed it, his face, it wasn't changing, his eyes were piercing green against his pale skin, with a strong jaw bone and full lips, and a nose that was any plastic surgeons dream.

''Your face'' I whispered before I could stop myself ''Look it late and- ''

''Yeah, of course, catch you at school'' he moved to the side with a smile. I walked back into the cabin looking back to see no one standing behind me. Was I just talking to myself? Am I going crazy?

I felt his lips trailing a line up my arm, then slowly going up my neck towards my ear, his hands sliding up my thigh, then up my arm

''Lilith'' he whispered as his hand moved up along my neck, slowly moving "Time to…' his hand circled my throat "DIE"

I woke up with a jolt, I was lying in bed. Greg was still snoring away, his hand cradled to his chest as though he thought it may have been mine. I smiled and got up, walking to the bathroom and looking in the mirror I hadn't gotten much sleep, most of the night was spent jumping out my skin at slight noise or a shadow cast. I washed my face and looked at the dark circle under my eyes. I sighed picking up a toothbrush and looked back up to find a pale face looking back at me, I turned looking behind myself, there was nothing, okay so I've officially fucking lost it I thought to myself. I went back to what I was doing when I suddenly felt hands pulling me towards a solid mass, I froze, this couldn't be happening

"Hey babe" I instantly relaxed thank the stars I turned to look at Greg. Every pore in my body was screaming for his normalness, his comfort. I pushed up onto my toes and kissed him hard wrapping my arms around the back of his trying to get closer to him, his body reacted exactly how I hoped and he encased me in an embrace, softening the kiss but not breaking it. He lifted me and carried me back into the room. Laying us both down on the bed. Greg's hand caught my thigh as my hands trailed up his bare chest and up to grip in his hair. Greg shifted his weight so that he was kneeling over me as he slid his hands under my top, lifting it as his hands moved higher. I broke the kiss yanking off my top and snatching Greg's head again bringing his mouth back on mine. His lips starting to make a trail down my neck to my shoulder, I rolled my head back looking towards the window, frowning when I saw something flash across it, I moved out from under Greg putting my finger to his lips when he tried to protest the action

"Let's take this to the shower," I said in his ear, I walked away taking the lead into the bathroom. Turning on the water and getting in, closely followed by Greg, who grabbed me and pinned me up against the wall, soon there was steam floating all around us his lips ground against mine and his hands found every inch of my skin, his body invading with an overwhelming force.

I sat on the bed in a kind of trance while listening to Greg in the next room on the phone with his mother. I could hear him pacing like he was waiting for something

"Okay great," he said then when quiet "yeah we'll be back in town tomorrow" I heard the call die as Greg made his back to the room. I had my back to the door he jumped onto the bed making me lose my sitting.

"So my mother wants us to meet her in that new fancy place that just opened up"

"Okay what's the occasion?" he got up and walked around the bed holding his hands behind his back

"You, my dear are looking at the worlds next best surgeon at the St. Leonard hospital"

"No way you got in" I hadn't jumped up like I think he was expecting me "that's awesome, when does the program start?"

"In three days"

"Well I guess we better make this day count" I giggled as he sat down on the bed and pulled me onto his lap
