A Clean Get-Away

Chapter 2

"That's not funny Lane," she whispered, backing up into a wall. Lane moved closer to her, stalking her like a predator. He didn't speak, just kept walking closer.

"Ha ha, very funny," she burst out, laughing half heartedly. "So how long have you guys been planning this? Where's Adam, hiding in the closet or something?" She asked, plastering a smiled on her face.

Lane looked at her and kept moving closer, he was within an arms reach by now. Lane grabbed her and shoved her harshly against the wall, pinning her there.

"Don't say anything to Adam," Lane whispered silkily. "I wouldn't want him to get hurt." Lane reached up and touched her neck where he had bit her, making her flinch involuntarily. "I will find out about you Lily," he said and left her room. She could hear him take the stairs a couple at a time and when he reached the bottom she vaguely heard him tell Patty it was time to leave. As the front door closed behind him she breathed a sigh of relief and then passed out on the floor.


"Lily, you okay?" Lily opened her eyes to see Adam standing over her looking worried.

"What's going on?" She asked as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"You disappeared from the party, I got worried and started looking for you. It's past three," Adam said as he helped her to sit.

"I had the freakiest dream," she whispered.

"Oh yeah, tell me about it," Adam said with a laugh. He had always thought dreams had some inner meaning, she usually scoffed at the idea and made fun of him.

"Lane and I were up here and before I knew it he was biting my neck, then he pulled away and said something weird… I can't quite remember it though, then he said he'd figure me out and he walked away. It was a creepy dream," she finished lamely.

"Sounds like it, anyway maybe you should get some sleep or something," Adam said. He bent down and in one scoop picked her up, carrying her to her bed and laying her under the covers.

"Okay daddy," she joked.

"Just worried about ya kid," he said smiling. He reached down and ruffled her hair. "I 'm gonna sleep over in your guest room, drank to much to drive. If ya need something let me know."

"Okay, night Adam," she said.

"Night," she heard him whisper, then her light went off and her door closed. Lily fell into a deep sleep soon after.


Lily looked down into the dark depths of the cliff she stood upon, the wind blew her hair behind her as her naked toes felt the bite of the rock beneath them; she smiled dangerously, knowing something they did not.

"That won't kill me, nothing will," she said with a laugh, she knew she had said it but suddenly there was a gag around her mouth, not as if it had just appeared there but as if it had been there all along.

"You're human now, anything will kill you," she heard someone say and was shocked to see Lane standing there, Patty next to him. They held long wooden staffs in their hands that came to a sharp point at the end, and they were pointed at her. Patty's face was set in a scowl, marring her beautiful features.

"You're a foul creature, you deserve this," Patty growled.

"You're fools, do you not know who I am? I am a vision of the night, I am eternal, I am your nightmare," Lily said, though her lips did not move. A look of fear came over Lane and Patty's eyes as she said this. They had heard those words before from clubs all over the world, from people they trusted as friends and loved ones, from witches with the gift of foretelling the future.

"Jump," Lane whispered pushing his staff at her. She turned and jumped. She was falling, she turned and looked up into Lane's eyes as she fell, a smile lighting her face up as she hit the water. Lane simply looked sick, he knew this wouldn't work, he knew death had laid it's claim not upon her as he had intended, but upon himself. He watched that death as it fell, splashing into the deep, dark depths of the ocean. He was doomed.

Lily woke up laying on the floor.

"What the hell happened last night?" She whispered as she gingerly sat up, her head hurt. She brought her fingers to her head and felt a large lump, apparently she had hit the floor head first.

"Lilith Aisling Ambrose, get your ass down here now," she heard her brother Shiloh call and cringed inwardly. She crossed to her door and opened it, looking down the hall.

"Hi Shi," she said.

"Don't give me that shit, what the hell happened?" He yelled.

"Would you believe an explosion?" She asked hopefully, surveying the hallway. It was littered with cups, empty bottles, and plates of rotting food.

"No, but a party of about two hundred people I would."

"How about ten."

"You're telling me ten people did this to my house?" He asked in disbelief.

"More or less," she mumbled.

"Have you seen downstairs? It's even worse than here. You better get your ass cleaning, this will take you all day to clean, and mom and dad are gonna be home tomorrow morning," Shiloh said. She groaned loudly and walked to the guest bedroom.

"Adam? You still asleep?" She asked as she walked in.

"I was," she heard him mumble from the bed. "What do you want?"

"The house is a disaster and my parents will be home tomorrow morning," she whined, sitting on the bed and pulling the covers off him.

"So you want me to help you clean it?"

"Well that would help, yes…"

"Damn it," he groaned as he sat up and rubbed his head. "Let's do it."


Okay here's my disclaimer, this goes for the whole story, for all the marbles... including the first chapter.

I do not own anything L J Smith owns, which will become more apparent in the next chapter, but I do own a bunch of characters in this, I don't own Julian, Damon, or any of her characters I will have showing up later. I'm not worth sueing, I make no money from this story or anything else, and if I wanted to sell it I'd get your permission L J.

Anyway REVIEW! I noticed I only had 1 review for this story, makes me sad is all. Not that I expected rave reviews, this isn't the slave girl or its sequel... I just wanted more than 1 review. So I'm posting this in the hopes that some one will read it and review it.

For anyone reading this that's reading my other one, i'll have chapter 14 up tonight, sorry I didn't have it up last night but my internet was down.
