He is trying to help her live a normal life which she isn't sure her life can be.
Day went by so fast as night comes, Emily breathes harshly through her nose.
She just showered and has changed into the pyjamas Lucas brought for her.
Lucas knocks on her door, he waited for her to open it.
" Hey", he says as he smile at her. " Are you ready for tonight?", He says in a rather professional way.
Emily let out a small laugh, she never thought her parole officer will be sleeping with her tonight.
She nods her head and shoves a blanket and pillow in his hands.
" You are sleeping on the couch", she says. " And don't try anything funny", Emily warns.
" I am not that kind of a person, I respect people's opinions."
.........
Thud. Thud!
Emily sprang up from her bed, it is as if someone wants to break in front the roof.
Emily kept a knife beside her just it case she will need it.
She clutches the knife to her chest, tonight the moon is full and somehow orange.
Emily breaths hitch as she lean against the wall.
' where is Lucas?', she whispers.
Emily thinks it is high time she faced her fears so she summons courage to speak.
" Who are you?", She asks as she controls get shaky voice.
"...."
" I ask again, who are yo....."
" She speaks", the voice says as it sounds like wave crashing on a shore. The voice echoes around her room.
" I thought you are mute."
" Show yourself", Emily demands as she readies her knife tightly in her hand.
Taking a shaky breaths, Emily moves forward with her knife leading the way.
She slashes the sir rapidly to which the creature chuckles.
Suddenly, creaking sounds and thumping echoes increases.
" Emily", Lucas calls as he tries to open the door. She didn't remember locking the door, Emily runs for the door but the floor disappears under her knocking her on the ground. Her grip on her knife loosen as it fell on the ground.
Emily grits her teeth, her impact with the ground made her back aches.
She crawls to the door but her leg is seize by an invisible force that drag her further down, it pierces her ankle definitely leaving a mark.
Emily scream in pain, she scurry away from what she can't see.
" Ahh, your screams are like music to my ear. It gives me satisfaction", the creature cackles.
Lucas kept on banging on the door, he continue calling her name.
Emily crawls towards her weapon, she holds it tightly in her hand.
" Show yourself", she bellows.
" This is getting interesting."
The shadow becomes larger and larger until it took over the whole room. Slowly Emily begins to see the shape of the creature.
It stands in front of her as its cold eyes is fixated on Emily, its dirty blonde hair shown in the moonlight.
Shivers run down Emily's spine as the creature smile at her showing its numerous spine like teeth.
The creature captivates her.
The body forms next, it is that of a human body, a female.
Her upper body is cover with furs while her Lower body is that of a centipede.
Her long claws drip with a goo like liquid, on her back is pairs of wings. One of the wings bends in a ridiculous way probably from an attack.
" What in the name of God are you?", Emily whispers.
" What am I? Have you forgotten you created me?", The creature asks.
Emily frowns as confusion takes over her features. " You are lying, I didn't."
" Why will I lie?", The creature tilts her head backwards. Her eyes are big and round without a lid. Her iris are blood red as she grin.
" Emily", Lucas barges into the room as he manages to break down the door.
His eyes widen when he sees the creature in front of her.
" Good, you are two", the creature squeals. She slams Lucas against the wall with her lower body. " The more the merrier."
Emily crawls towards Lucas, she places his head on her thigh.
" Lucas?", She calls and quickly help him up when he wheezed in pain.
" Who are you?", He asks the creature.
" You will find out", the creature replies. " I have been waiting for this day since I saw you, now it is time."
Darkness engulfed them as it creeps through their skin. Emily screamed, she clutch her neck as she can't breathe.
Lucas hiss as air explodes from his lungs, he tries to stay sane and keep his eyes open but the fog in the room thickens as the ground shifts beneath them.
Darkness engulfs them as piercing screams hits Emily's ears.
Emily breaths shortens and slowly, she succumbs to darkness around her.
~~~~~~~
" Emily, Emily, wake up", Lucas shakes her continuously and sigh in relief when she coughs.
" Thank goodness you are alive", he smiles at her, running his hands through his hair.
Emily's vision slowly starts to clear, she panick when she looks around.
" Where are we?"
" I don't know but I think we are in another dimension", Lucas replies. Emily looks around as the rotten smell of decaying substances hits her nostrils.
She scrunches her nose in disgust.
" Another dimension?"
" Like I said earlier, I don't know. We have to keep going if we want to make it out alive", he says as he help her up.
" This does not resemble the human world", Emily says when she notices her surroundings.
" Yes, that is why I said it might be another dimension."
In front of them is a lake that keeps bubbling , it was as red as blood.
" What is this place?", Emily whispers to Lucas who is staring ahead of her. " Lucas, what is wrong with y...."
" Shhhh", he hushes her as he places his finger on his lips.
He points at something behind her, Emily slowly turns. Her eyes widen as a dreadful feeling runs through her body.
Emily stares at Lucas, how can he be so calm in this situation.
" We don't know what kind of monster is that. It might smell your fear", Lucas replies her. She didn't even realize that she said that out loud. He is right because the monster turns its head towards their direction. Emily gasps, the wolf like monster has no face but It has eyes everywhere. Its feet is like that of a chicken and its eyes is trying to search for the source of the sounds. The monster moaned, its ears twitched as it hunches over and continues drinking from the bloody lake. " Come on", Lucas whispers, he holds her hand and moved quietly. Emily move behind him, she mistakenly step on a twig which snaps under her feet. The creature turns, his eyes fixated on them. It moves with full speed, bearing his
" Mine, food", it cries and raises his arm, a vine like thing shoots out of his arm and pierces the stomach of the bat monster. " Food", it rejoices and run towards it.Emily stiffens, she watches with wide eyes as the monster devour its food. It split the stomach open, munching on the intestines.That is enough scene for Lucas, he drag Emily along with him.They run down the forest getting closer to the light.' almost there'Suddenly, a whooping sound is heard, it hits them and fling them to the ground but the impact with the ground never came as they fall into another dimension." Emily! Are you okay?", He asks as he sits up and reaches out for her hands." I am okay", she replies, aside from the lump growing at the back of her hand, then
" So your uncle is the real culprit", Lucas says as he closes his eyes. He is weak and tired from running, Lucas is about to fall asleep when he hears something moving. Emily notice that as well, she looks at Lucas who is also staring at her." What do you think that is?", She asks." I have no idea, stay behind me okay?." Emily swallows loudly as she holds unto his shirt.Lucas didn't know what to do but he is willing to fight it with all his might. He gathers his courage and tries to move but the sound stops. Emily breathes when she hears no sound, she looks at Lucas who licks his dry lips. He is trying hard to hide his fears and protect them.Everywhere is so dark that they hardly sees each other. Emily glances around, anything can come out and attack them in the dark." Lucas", Emily ca
Lucas moves closer to the edge of the hill, still holding her hand in his." Are you ready?", He asks as he stares at the ground, the ground didn't look far from up but the obstacles on it is what scares Emily." Yes", Emily swallows hard and involuntarily tightens her hold on his hand in a firm grip. With a light push, Emily yelps as she skids down the hill. She stumbles upon a rock and fall.Emily hits her stomach on a rock which shoots pain all over her body. She can't control the way she is tumbling, eventually, Emily lands on the ground with lots of bruises and cuts.She groans as she can't stand, Lucas tumbles down after Emily and lands beside her. Emily stares at the cloud, she feels numb and so
Emily races back to where Lucas is, she almost cry when she sees the situation he is in.The blood stain on his shirt and his pale face makes him resemble a vampire." Lucas", Emily cries as she kneels beside him, Emily cradles his face and help him up. " Come on Lucas, I have found the river."Lucas groans as Emily drags him up, he rests his arm on her shoulder and limps towards the river." We are almost there Lucas, hold on please", Emily urges him to continue moving forward when he stops." I can't", he complains. " I can't go any further."" No Lucas, you have to. You can't die on me, we are going to get out of this place together." Emily quickly wipe the tears that falls on her cheek and hurls him forward when he is about to fall.
" Please snap out of this, please I beg you", Lucas begs, he looks worried and stressed. Emily tries to control her fears but the changes in the surroundings adds to her panic. Lucas puts his hand on her back and rubs it in a comforting way. " Please Emily, come back to me", he whispers in Emily's ear as the woman in his arms trembles. Emily is scared, she trys to breathe but it is very difficult to do. Her heart pounds in her chest and inhaling becomes difficult. The darkness intensifies and howling voices of monsters is heard. Lucas looks around to be sure they are alone, Emily is making no changes instead it is getting worse. She is having a panic attack. " Breathe baby, please", Lucas sees no changes so, he did what is right and helpful by saying sweet words to her which helped a little.
How can she run away and leave Lucas behind. Lucas! She suddenly stops and turns around. She can't leave Lucas alone, Lucas will never leave her alone with a monster if it was him. Turning around, she sees the monster at the door sneering at her. Lucas is right, the monster can't leave the room. Lucas falls to his knees as the monster kicks him, the force causes Lucas to roll on his back. Dragging the chain saw, it refuses to start. The ogre smile in victory. It drags the mallet on the ground as it moves closer to Lucas. " No!", Emily yells. She did the bravest thing she can think of, Emily runs back to Lucas with her axe raise in the air. Letting out a war cry, Emily cuts the monster on its leg.
" Kiss me."" You want me to.......", Lucas pauses as he stares at her plump, pink lips. " Are you sure about it?" Emily nods her head and wet her lips with her tongue.Lucas wastes no time in connecting his lips to hers. He has wanted to have the taste of her mouth again. Angling her neck, he deepens the kiss and strokes his tongue with hers. Emily breathes, this is her first time kissing a guy so she is not use to holding her breath. She removes her mouth from his." Emily......", It is a gasps, a groan, a sound he whispers into her ear making a tingle sensations erupt in her body.Emily can't get enough of him so she grazes her lips over his skin, wanting his heart to beat for her like her heart is doing right now.Lucas wraps his arms around her w
