Evey awoke from a heavenly sleep; she reached to her left for her sleeping partner, and then soon realized he would not be there. She sighed into her pillow, wishing that she could have awoken in his arms. She heard a clutter in the bathroom and turned to see Trellen walking out with a glass of water for her, she nearly fell off the bed in shock.
"Trellen!" she shrieked, pointing toward the window.
He laughed and handed her the glass of water, she watched in horror as he walked over to the window. Something was different about him; he turned before he reached the window and starred at her with his hellish… green eyes. He opened the window and let the light hit him, turning him into ash….
Evey's scream woke her from her nightmare, the scream still echoing in the room. She looked to her left and saw Trellen was missing. She sat up and walked on shaky legs toward the bathroom; nothing. She went and sat back on her bed, what a horrifying dream! She could still here the anguished cries of Trellen as the sun pierced him, hoping that her dream wasn't foreshadowing anything. She suddenly feared Trellens existence, what if her dream had told her something? She felt tears form at the corners of her eyes, if something had happened to him… she sat still, shaking from her tears.
Trellen… where are you? She thought, wishing that she could find an answer.
"Evey?" a voice inside her mind asked her.
She froze, had she heard his voice? Her thoughts raced wildly trying to find an explanation for the voice in her head… surely she wasn't going mad.
The voice spoke to her again, she deciphered that it was indeed Trellen's voice.
"I took your blood" he said weakly. She wondered how that had anything to do with it, when the voice answered her.
"It means I can speak with you… telepathically". She gasped at this knowledge.
"Trellen?" she asked inside her mind, suddenly feeling very foolish.
"Evey, yes… I need to rest… I will come for you tonight". With that, the voice stopped. She believed his words, so much had happened to her in the past few days that speaking telepathically did not phase her as much as she thought it would. She glanced at the clock.
"12:34pm!" she screeched, she had never slept this late. She suddenly ran a hand across her neck, feeling two tiny puncture wounds. She shuddered at the image of giving him her blood, but then remembered how wonderful it had felt. A frown creased her brow, why had it felt so amazing? She laughed at herself for thinking such morbid thoughts and began to get ready for the day.
Evey was stepping out of the shower when she heard at knock at the door. She froze instantly, she knew it couldn't be Mark… but had he sent someone for her? She looked at the door for a long time before she heard Kim's voice.
"Evey! Let me in, I'm absolutely exhausted!"
Evey smiled and opened the door, she was embraced by her friend moments later.
"Oh Evey! I had the best of times, you know Mark is just absolutely amazing… in other ways as well" she said with a grin, but Evey wasn't listening. What name had she just said?
"Kimmy, what did you say the name of your boyfriend was?" she asked her friend lightly.
Kim frowned, obviously confused about the question. "Evey you know his name is Rob" she told her friend "I mean I know you've never met him… but you will soon!" she said happily.
Evey sat there as her friend proceeded to tell about her week, mentioning that Rob would sadly not be able to stay the remainder of the week. Kim also apologized for having left Evey for a week. Evey was sitting there immersed in her thoughts, she could have sworn Kim had said the name Mark…. She shook of the thought, taking it as only stress. She looked out the window, she was anxious for night to come. Evey lightened up and mentioned that Kim would get to meet her boyfriend tonight.
"Boyfriend?" Kim asked, her words coming out a little stronger than she intended.
Evey frowned, "Yes boyfriend is that so bad?" Kim shook her head "No… it's just well, you've only known him for two weeks". She said with concern in her voice.
Evey nodded, "Yes well, we hit it off automatically" she told her concerned friend.
"I think we have a strong connection, and I'm very anxious for you to meet him".
Kim nodded, still not to sure.
"If you think so" she told Evey, and then when about her business of unpacking, telling Evey stories about her and Rob's weekend. Evey flinched slightly when she thought she heard Kim call her boyfriend Mark again. Hours had seemed to pass, and when Evey looked out the window the sun was setting. She felt her heart flutter slightly, and was greeted by a knock on the door.
Kim ran to the door excited on the aspect of having guests, she opened the door and her smile faded.
"You!" she shrieked, pointing a finger at him.
"Me" Trellen replied dully. Kim closed the door on him and rushed to Evey, she was walking toward the door.
"Who was at the door Kim?" she asked her.
"You don't want to answer it Evey, It's that man! The scary man from the other night!" she pointed toward the door in fear.
"How does he know where we are staying?" she asked her friend, fear creeping into her voice.
Evey suddenly remembered, she had never told Kim that it was the strange man from the other night. She had simply told her she had met a man of the streets. Laughing she replied to her nervous friend
"Because I told him"
With that she strode to the door, and opened it to a slightly bothered Trellen. Upon seeing Evey his anger fled him, and he was filled with a sudden lightness.
"Trellen" she said as he brought her into his warm embrace. She would never tire of the way he held her; like she was a precious object that he feared breaking.
"I've missed you love" he told Evey into her hair. She smiled and began to lean forward to capture his lips in a kiss. She was interrupted by a frantic Kim.
"Evey!" Kim gasped while pulling her friend from a now thoroughly annoyed Trellen.
Evey loosened herself from Kim's grasp and stopped the closing door.
She motioned for Trellen to come in and shut the door, he did as he was told and stood in the hallway between the bathroom and the beds.
Evey walked Kim over to her bed and sat her down; she then walked to Trellen and led him by hand over to Kim.
"Kimmy" she began "This is my boyfriend Trellen".
Trellen turned to look at Evey, the dead instrument in his chest awakening again, had she said boyfriend? He smiled and tugged her gently closer to him.
Kim spoke for a few moments, asking Evey how she could consider dating this man! She claimed she had seen him on the street, which he looked ready to kill someone and that Evey had gone mad. She looked squarely at Trellen claiming he had put a mind control on her friend.
Trellen sighed, "Yes that's exactly what I did" he told her in a sarcastic tone.
After Kim had calmed down long enough, she mentioned something that Evey had not noticed herself.
"What happened to your scar?" she asked in a tone full of awe and fear
Trellen straightened himself; he couldn't explain to this girl that it had healed due to his supernatural abilities. He turned to Evey, telling her his concern in her mind. She automatically understood.
"Trellen is an actor" Evey began, "He was wearing stage makeup". Kim starred at her friend for a moment and then looked at Trellen, something telling her that Evey was telling her the truth.
Kim seeming satisfied with her answer, began to once again question her friend.
Trellen sat on the bed and began fiddling with his thumbs,
Mortals… he thought, they sure were a pain to deal with.
Evey glanced at Trellen, a glare in her eye. He grinned widely when he realized she had heard his thoughts.
Wooo! So I'm
fitting Mark into this story. Don't worry, Kim calling her
boyfriend Mark instead will come later in the story. It has a point,
and a very good one at that. Heh! Enjoy and thank you for the reviews!
