Chapter 10:

I lay on the deck, soaking up the rays. Ryan sat on the boat chatting with Sergey.

I felt the deck creak. "We are going to run into town, want to join us?"

"nah, I'm good here" I said. I felt Ryan kneel down next to me.

"You going to be ok?" he asked in a hushed tone.

"Yeah, going to head in soon with a book and some tea."

"Call me if anything happens"

"What could possibly happen?" I laughed

"I know…" he smiled shaking his head.

He leaned down and kissed me softly.

"Go…pick me up some honey too" I said as he stood up.

"Will do!" he smiled. With that him and Sergey left. The girls had left earlier in the day and Josh was with Serg and Ryan. I was alone.

I didn't mind, because the nightmares were stopping.

I sighed getting up off the deck and going back inside. I pulled a t-shirt over my head. My heart leapt when I saw a pair of eyes watching me in the trees. Red, angry eyes.

I felt my hands shake as I searched my bed for the phone. Never taking my eyes off of whatever it was.

I hit redial on my phone. I heard it ring before Ryan picked up

"What's up…?"

"Ryan there is something outside watching me from the tree" I said tears pooling in my eyes.

"We will be right there. Do not go outside. Lock yourself in the bathroom" He said

"I will stay on the phone with you…"

I went out of the room and into the hallway. I heard nails scraping on the glass window. Before I heard the window being lifted. I shut the bathroom door. Not before whatever it was stuck it's claws between the crack. I screamed dropping the phone. I began muttering different prayers in Latin, as I put my full weight against the door. The claws moved out of the door. I heard a low deep growl. And a voice that said

"Words won't save you next time"

I slammed and locked the door.

"Meg!" Ryan said frantically into the phone

"It came after me…please get here" I said starting to sob. I hung up the phone and a few minutes later I heard the tires on the gravel outside.

I heard the front door bang open. I opened the bathroom door and Ryan stood in the hallway staring at what the creature had left. Burn marks as well as scrapes from claws down the length of the hallway.

Ryan closed the gap and gathered me into his arms, as I sobbed.

AN: I apologize for the shortness of the update as well as the lack of updates. I have had a lot of personal issues to deal with. Relationship problems, depression, financial and family problems. That about sums it up.

I will try to be better about updating :)
