In All My Dreams I Drown

by SilentLaughter

"I'm begging you please wake me up, I'm all my dreams I—" but she dosen't finish as she bolts awake in a thin sheen of sweat panting; she had seen his face! Only as soon as she sees it clear as day it fades just as quickly leaving her feeling empty Why—why must this dream haunt her always? Closing her eyes, she lies awake for the rest of the night—afraid to go back to sleep

11. Chapter Ten

I know this is amazingly short but I'm trying to give only short snippets into our beloved Dr.'s mind—leave the suspense going !

Chapter Ten~

He stares after her, panting heavily and digging his fingernails into his palms so that he can almost feel blood.

"What the hell where you thinking?!" he asks his alter whose laughing nonstop as he replies simply,

"You enjoyed it Johnny-boy so don't be so annoyed."

"She's petrified of me now, we didn't want that!" the alter is silent at this, contemplating his statement as he says in a bite,

"Fret not Johnny-boy, our plan will go just as we expect it too and then—SHE WILL BE OURS!" Jonathan swallows thickly at this still able to taste her on his tongue. Running a hand through his hair he hears his alter say,

"She is OURS after all ain't she Johnny-boy?" his tone is utter mockery but Jonathan agrees with,

"She will be." at this is alter cackles as he cools himself down enough to enter back into the party and head for the door, excusing himself as he goes. Just as he's halfway out the door Rachel Dawes comes up to him slapping,

"Where is she?!"

"Who?" he plays dumb but she dares to slap him sneering,

"Evie! I saw Evie go out on the balcony and you follow, and now she's missing!" Jonathan growls, no, it's his alter who says to her in a bite,

"How—dare—you—hit—me!"

"You deserved it!" she shouts back before storming off so that he can leave plotting in his mind all the ways he can use his toxin on her. But first he has one Dr. Montgomery to take care of, and so getting into his car calls him up asking for a private meeting with him. He agrees, and going straight for the University Jonathan gets his mask and toxin ready before entering the University going right for Dr. Montgomery's office.

"Ah, Jonathan! Pleasure to see you again!"

"Jonathan isn't here right now, but should you like to leave a message!" and he sprays a fairly good amount of his toxin on the good doctor. As he twitches and screams on the ground Jonathan goes over to the now petrified doctor and works on the file titled 'Ms. Evelyn Brookes, Master's Degree'. Once finished Jonathan leaves with a self-satisfying smirk so that by the time the police arrive he's long gone. The only thing that's nagging him is the pure terror in Evie's face; and he doesn't want her afraid of him.
