Chapter 10 ~ Sam

My alarm clock blares out an angry song in my ear. I wince as the pain from my head throbs to the beat. I smack the snooze button. My whole body aches with agony. I feel around my scalp trying to find the source of my tender head. I find a small scab on the back of my crown. It was very tender and I knew I didn't want to touch it again. I blink my eyes trying to focus on my surroundings, wondering how I got into bed. I was still in my dress from last night and as I sat up to get out of bed, my head swam causing me to grip the nightstand. Once I regained my equilibrium, I made my way to the bathroom. I glanced in the mirror almost scarring myself at the horror that stared back at me.

I peeled my dress off and examined the bruises on my ribs, arms and wrist, the dried blood under my nails. Was it Sam’s? The dark circles under my eyes. I tried to remember which ones Sam gave me and which were from an unseen force. The claw marks on my legs had already almost healed. Had Will healed my body some last night? All I know is I should be in much worse shape than I am. It was all a bit hazy. I turned on the water and hoped a bath would ease the soreness in my muscles. I scooped a handful of bath salts from the glass apothecary jar and dumped them in the water. I eased into the steaming tub and closed my eyes.

What was I supposed to do about Sam? I can't be sure but I believe he was possessed. I know he would never intentionally hurt me. If this would have happened before I learned that there are supernatural ethereal beings in our world then I would be calling the police right now. But the fact is, I do know what horror lies among us. I was attacked by a demon last night and I have the gruesome handprint bruised onto my torso to prove it. And now I have a new keeper named Will, who better be giving me the same privacy that the previous one did. My anxiety level is still on high alert. I jump at the slightest noise. I miss Elijah so much. I am so scared without him here to protect me. I keep imagining all of the details of our last night together.

I emerge from the tub still sore but feeling much better, like I can possibly even face the day. I pick out a sea green cashmere sweater hoping to hide the bruises on my arms and a white bohemian skirt. I slipped into a tan riding boot. I meander into the living room, afraid to appraise the damage done last night. I see the six foot crack in the sheet rock where Sam was crushed. I don't know how he was able to run out of here last night.
