Chapter Fifteen

I was standing outside the chapel under storm clouds so thick and black that almost all the daylight had been frightened away. But this wasn’t the burnt ruin in which I had so often sought refuge. It was the chapel of the past, a glorious white mass looming out of the shadows cast by heavy black and purple clouds.

Even from this distance, I could feel an aura of evil surrounding the chapel that was as pervasive and noxious as the black smoke that must have billowed from it when it was set alight. This is what others sensed here, the thing that kept them away. I knew this even though I was in a dream. I also knew that, although I had picked up this evil on a subconscious level during my many visits here, something else had drawn me, something that had made me feel safe and comforted whenever I was there. Avery.

Somehow, I had sensed his past connection to this place long before he came into my life, and I was beginning to see that we were tied to each other in a way that neither of us could hope to understand.

Although the evil swathing the chapel sent fear shooting through my mind, I knew I had to go inside. So I walked steadily to the door and stepped into the cool, bright interior.

The inside was just as beautiful as the outside. The polished wooden pews, whitewashed walls, and the warm glow cast by the stained glass windows were a far cry from the carnage of burned wood, blackened walls, and gaping holes where the windows should have been. But none of those things mattered, for I could see a man standing at the altar with his back to me.

I ran down the aisle toward him, every fibre in my body coming alive and when Avery turned around in response to the sound of my footsteps, I almost wept with joy.

“Avery? Avery! Thank the Lord!”

A slow smile passed over his lips, one that was somewhat furtive and totally unlike the open, simple smiles I was used to seeing from him. But I didn’t care. I ran into his arms even though everything around me screamed of danger and a dark, soulless yearning.

“Avery, I’s scared I wasn’t never gonna see you again.”

“Hm. Yes, I have missed you too, can you not tell?”

He had his arms around my waist, crushing me to him, and I was shocked to feel his rigid manhood pressing against my stomach.

Desire flared within me and I grew weak in his arms, especially when he began to trail a line of soft kisses down my neck. And yet there was something horribly wrong. I knew this but now that I had found Avery again, nothing was going to tear me away from him.

Pulling my head back by my hair, he gazed down at me, his eyes hard like blue steel.

“Kiss me,” he demanded.

I was slightly confused by the change in him, the mean edge in his voice that was so unlike the Avery I had fallen in love with.
