Chapter 10: Attacks

Alice bit her lip as she looked at all her rich friends. She stared at the empty cup in her hands. "I'm gonna go get another drink," she informed.

"Alright, see you on the dance floor," Alex commented.

Alice shuddered slightly, she missed Jay. She set her cup on the bar and she went upstairs to see that the spot above was empty. She stood at the railing and she watched as everyone danced and had a good time. "Thought you'd be having fun," a voice commented. Alice knew that voice and Jay walked up behind her, standing dangerously close to her. Alice bit her lip and she lowered her head slightly. She turned around to look at him.

"I didn't mean to betray you," she answered.

Jay kissed her forehead and he stroked her face. "I know it wasn't your fault," he assured her. She looked back over at everyone else as she leaned against the railing again. Jay's eyes flashed red for a brief second. He stood closer to her and he ran his hand over Alice's shoulder. "You are given everything you have ever wanted, and yet you stay with me," he commented. Alice felt her heart miss a beat as he ran his hand over her shoulder, but then her breath was caught in her throat as his hand moved down to her thigh.

"Don't…" she started.

"Stop me if you don't want me to," he answered.

Alice bit her lip as his hand pulled her skirt up slightly. She let out a gasp when he kissed the back of her neck and he nipped at her earlobe. "Jay…this isn't like you…" she insisted. He pressed her up against the railing without answering her. "Jay stop," she told him. She was able to push back against the railing and she pulled away from him. "Jay what…" she trailed off. She saw his eyes were red and she went to scream when he covered her mouth.

"Not a word," he told her.

Alice stared at him in shock. She pulled his hand away from her mouth. "What did they do to you?" She asked.

"My master made me powerful," he replied.

"Jay…you're a good man."

Jay grabbed her shoulders, pulling her to him. "Let me go!" She hissed. She kneed him in the stomach, making Jay let her go. She ran down the stairs and out the door.

(McKnight House)

Kira was looking over the bills when Jay came into the house. "Jay, your boss called, why weren't you at work?" She asked.

"Didn't feel like going tonight," he replied.

Kira stood up and crossed her arms over her chest. "Your teachers called saying you weren't at school," she commented.

"Didn't feel like going," he answered.

"You also got in a fight with Ben Harding?" She asked.

"So?"
"Jay, this isn't you! You're lying, you're skipping school, you're fight…"

She gasped when Jay's eyes flashed red before he grabbed her by her throat and slammed her against the wall. "Stay out of my way! You killed my master!" He snapped. He tightened his grip around her throat. Kira tried to gasp for air, but no air would go in or leave her lungs. "I will enjoy watching you die," he sneered. She reached up and grabbed his wrist, her nails digging into his hand. "Watch you die just like that lover of yours, slowly and painfully," he taunted. Tears welled up in Kira's eyes, this wasn't her son, she knew this wasn't her son. "Hit a bad spot didn't we? So sad that your poor, precious Conner died a horrible death. He deserved what you go. So will you, your daughter, and your son in the end. The entire McKnight family will be dead!" He laughed.

"Jay…" she started.

"Sorry Jay's not here right now, please leave your name and number after the beep," he taunted.

Kira went limp and Jay laughed evilly. However, something stabbed him in the shoulder, making him cry out in pain and drop Kira. He spun around and saw Fiona there with a knife in her hand. "You will pay for that!" He snapped. Fiona shook her head.

"Leave my brother now!" She ordered.

"I like it here, I think I'll stay."

"JAY!"

He laughed be grabbing Fiona, throwing her aside, making her drop her knife. Jay grabbed the knife and stood over Fiona. Fiona backed away, but she hit a corner. "Whoops, ran out of room and time," He laughed. Just then a huge gust of wind blasted through the house and Jay cried out in pain. Fiona ran over to Kira.

"Mom, mom," she called.

Kira gasped for air. "What's going on?" She asked. She looked up and saw Jay fighting an invisible force.

"Leave my family alone you son of a bitch!" A familiar voice snapped.

Jay laughed. "You are nothing but a spirit. You can't harm me," he laughed.

"Then why is there fear in your eyes?" Conner asked.

They could hear Conner, but they couldn't see him. "You will leave my son, now!" Conner ordered. Jay laughed evilly, his eyes growing a bright red.

"Your son is just like you, McKnight. Very strong, but very stupid," he laughed.

Kira watched as Jay was thrown across the table. Jay stood up. "You can fight me in here, but once I leave this house, McKnight, you are not allowed to leave this house," he taunted. He laughed as he broke through a window and ran off.

"JAY!" Fiona screamed.

"Let him go, Fiona, he will be back," Conner answered.

Conner disappeared before they could say anything.

Alice was walking outside when she heard a twig crack. "Hello?" She called. She grabbed a shovel as she went to see what was going on. She screamed when Jay came out and held the shovel up. "Stay away from me," she ordered.

"I won't hurt you," he assured her.

Alice raised the shovel. "I mean it, stay away!" She demanded. When he charged at her, she quickly kicked him away and then hit him on the back of the head with the shovel. She watched as he fell to the ground. She wasn't going to kill Jay. She refused to kill her boyfriend. However, the red eyes disappeared and Jay went limp. She backed up when black mist left Jay's mouth.
