SEVENTEEN

“When you look at me like that, I want to rip your heart out of your chest just to prove to you it’s black.”

“I would bare my chest if only to feel your touch.”

“Spare me. You are the father of lies, I’m not the mother of stupidity.”

“Oh, my darling, you lie to yourself, I need not.”

“What do you want, Lu?”

“Your body to feast upon, your soul to devour.”

“You’re wasting your time. I have a lot of ammo and my friends won’t let you get to me. We have plans, you know. You aren’t going to win”

“You hide in a village of ants, important to only themselves. Each sorry soul believing it matters when in reality their entire universe is smashed between two pieces of glass, collecting dust on my shelf.”

“Reminding me of our vast insignificance?”

“They are insignificant, you are my queen.”

“Never.”

“You already are. I have already won.”

“More lies?”

“We shall see.”

“I don’t think so.”

“It matters little what you think.”

“You’ll never get in, Lu.”

“I already have.”

Sweat soaked the sheets as I jumped from the bed. It was still dark outside as I ran out of the small cottage. Crickets made soft chirping sounds as my feet dug into the grass. I ran, unsure of where I was going. All I knew was that Lu was in the village and I had to tell someone.

A figure stepped from the bushes and I screamed.

“God damn it, Lucian!” I put my hand to my chest as he steadied me. “I swear to all that is holy, I almost zapped you!” I felt the heat recede from my fingertips as I tried to calm my racing heart.

“What are you doing, Gracie?” He bent to look into my eyes. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” He frowned in the darkness and I met his eyes. They reflected the moonlight like a cat caught in the beam of a flashlight.

“A ghost would be welcome. Lucian, I had another dream. I think Lu got into the village!” I felt my hands begin to shake. “He said he was already here!”

Lucian looked at me with worried eyes. “No, Gracie. He can’t get in.” He shook his head lightly as if I were some delusional mental patient.

“I see you are, once again, showing your penchant for stupidity,” Seth purred, stepping onto the path.

“Seth.” I spun. “God, you two need a bell.” I let out a breath. “What are you doing out here?”

“Lurking,” Lucian sneered, “like the shadow-dwelling parasite that he is.” He looked down his nose, folding his arms. He moved close to me and, puffing up like a rooster, he grumbled under his breath as Seth neared.

“You two really need to calm down because I am so not in the mood for macho peacocking right now. Okay?” I sighed tiredly.

“That’s alright, Gracie.” Lucian stepped back just as Seth came nose to nose with him. “I’m going to go take a look around. See if I can find any sign of the other parasite in your life.” Lucian bared his teeth at Seth and then turned to disappear into the trees.
