Chapter Nine

I awoke to a thunderous knocking at my door.

"Who the hell?" I mumbled, rolling out of bed and stumbling, bleary-eyed across my bedroom. As I stepped into the hall, the knocking became even louder.

"I'm coming," I yelled. "Keep your hair on!"

Totally pissed off, I swung the door open and gaped in horror at what stood glaring back at me. Kurt, his face a mask of hatred, leered at me, baring teeth long and as sharp teeth. Beside him stood a tall, sliver-haired man, who at any other time, I'm sure I would have described as handsome.

Right then, however, his face was filled with an animal hatred that sent shivers of shock through me. But it was the other ... thingthat totally freaked me out.

Huge, misshapen, bulbous, grotesque—fuckingugly—was all I could see. And believe me, I didn't want to see any of it. It pushed the others aside and stepped towards me, its breath rancid upon my face. As it reached for me, its overpowering stench filled my nostrils. I screamed and screamed.

"Roger ... Roger!"

From out of the darkness, hands held me, arms enfolded me, and I struggled with all my might to free myself.

"No!" I shrieked. "You can't come in!"

Instantly, the room was flooded with light. I was still in bed. Strong arms held me. Warm lips were pressed to my neck.

"Roger. It's me. Marcus. You were dreaming. You're all right now. I'm here."

I collapsed into his embrace. "Oh thank God," I whispered, hugging him to me. "They were all outside my door, waiting for me."

"It was just a dream. They cannot harm you here." He smoothed back the hair from my brow and kissed me tenderly. "I'm sorry, so sorry that I have brought this terror into your life."

"It's okay," I gulped, holding him tight. "I've had nightmares before. My mom always said I had an overactive imagination. It was just that ...thingthat was there. Jesus, I don't know how I could've dreamed up something so hellish." Marcus was quiet for a moment, thinking, then he said,

"D'Arcy may have managed to imprint images in your mind.

He is very powerful. I have no doubt he is going to try to use you to get to me. He sees you as my weakness." He smiled and kissed my cheek. "He obviously does not know you very well, yet." "Kurt was there too, but he looked ... different."

"If they have really reached Kurt, then there is nothing we can do for him."

"But it was just a dream," I reminded him. "That's what you said, remember?"

I could tell from the way he tightened his arms around me he knew it was much more than that. He was just trying to 118 My Vampire and I

calm me down. "Kurt could be a big help to them, couldn't he?" I asked.

"Yes," he replied. "I'm afraid so. Young Kurt is filled with the need for revenge. He's the perfect target for d'Arcy's mind manipulation." "So, what do we do now?"

"Youwill do nothing except what you would normally do in the daytime—go to work.
