Author's Note: Sorry this chapter has been so long in coming, just took me a while, kind of had writer's block. Thanks to those who read & reviewed. This Chapter is a set-up for the next Chapter! Ch. 13 will be the finale. Ch. 13 should be up within the week.
Dean crept out of the shadows that surrounded the Gilmore House, he looked in the windows, and saw nothing but darkness. Confusion clouded his mind. Then it came to him. They must be at Luke's. Rory was with that beast, betraying him.
He kept to the shadows and made his way over to the diner. Where he would find some place to lay in wait.
Rory lay in Jess's bed, Jess was softly snoring beside her. She lay cuddled in his arms. Her mind was like a blank canvas, flashes would come to her now and then. But then they would fly away. She closed her eyes, in frustration, trying to sleep.
Lorelai lay on her back in Luke's bed, surrounded by his flannel. Luke was out in the living room, sleeping on the couch, 'being on guard' She knew he was just avoiding her, because he couldn't deal with what was happening between them. She debated between staying in bed or going out and confronting him. Need won out over nerves.
"Luke Danes, get your ass in here, so we can both get a peaceful night of sleep," she towered over him.
"Whaaaaat," he murmured.
"Oh cut the bullshit, I know you're not sleeping, so get up and come to bed," Lorelai ordered. She grabbed his arm and dragged him off the couch and into the bedroom. The door shut with a satisfied click.
Morning dawned cloudy and warm. A storm was brewing in the air. Rory rolled out of bed, her ever dependable watch read 10:29. She had a feeling that getting up at this time was a common occurrence for her on the weekends.
She looked over and saw Jess lying there, watching her. "What are you doing?"
"Watching you sleep," he answered truthfully.
"And the purpose of that would be?"
"Because I wanted to," Jess answered mysteriously.
"Time for breakfast, pancakes and coffee," Rory said.
Jess and Rory wandered downstairs, and saw Luke behind the counter wearing a frilly apron. Jess tried not to laugh, but he couldn't help himself.
"What's with the get-up?" Jess choked out.
"Lorelai stole my apron," Luke flushed a dark red.
"Hey Luke can I have some chocolate-chip pancakes and coffee?" Rory looked at him.
"Sure, just go over and take a seat," Luke pointed to a table, pretty posies were centered on the table.
"Luke, I think I burned something, can you come here," Lorelai yelled out from the kitchen.
"I knew I shouldn't've let you cook," Luke ran to the back, and he screamed.
Jess ran into the kitchen, saw what'd happened, and started howling with laughter. Luke was conked out on the ground, like a rock. Lorelai was standing with a big beachball under her shirt.
"All I said to him was, what would you think if we had kids, and then he fainted," she knelt down. "Luke, come on wake up." She kissed her diner prince, and he came to.
When he saw Lorelai, "You're not pregnant?"
"No, I was just joking," Lorelai admitted. "Although I have to admit you took it pretty well." She helped Luke up. Jess, Luke and Lorelai all had a good laugh.
Rory sat at the table, alone. Wondering what was taking her mom and Jess so long to come out from the back. She glanced out the window and her head froze. 'He' walked by. Tall, shaggy brown hair, hard edged face, eyes dancing with evil intent, and in his hand, clutched a blunt hunting knife. He pressed his face up to the window, opened his hand, slid the knife into his flesh and slashed. Blood poured freely. He smeared it on the window and walked away. Rory unfroze after he'd walked out of sight.
Jess and Lorelai walked up to Rory's table. They stopped when they saw the blood smeared on the window.
"Who?"
"It was Dean," Rory whispered.
"You remember?" Lorelai breathed.
"How could anyone forget that monster," Rory vehemently stated. "I'm going upstairs to lie down." She shuffled up the stairs quietly, shutting the door behind her.
"How could she remember?" Lorelai wondered aloud.
The diner door flew open, in ran, Dean's family, his mother, sister, father and Dean himself. "Oh I've been looking forward to this bag boy." Jess took a swing at Dean.
Dean ducked, and backed off. He put up his hands, "Wait let me explain!"
After a lengthy explanation which revealed that Dean and his family had been out of town the last few days. "Wait a minute, how could you be with your family and stalking Rory at the same time?" Jess questioned.
"I have a twin brother named Dane," Dean revealed.
Jess, Lorelai and Luke were shocked. "You have a twin brother, and we never knew this because?"
"Because he's mentally unbalanced and has been living in a mental institution since he was four," Dean's father explained.
"And we didn't think it should be public knowledge, this is a very private thing, and we didn't want everyone to think there was a possibility that we were unbalanced too," Dean added.
"So your brother escaped and now he's running around, trying to kill Rory," Lorelai summed up.
"Did it ever occur to you that he might come to Stars Hollow to see you," Luke asked.
"Well no, we thought he might go back to where we lived before, so we were there searching for him," Dean explained.
"Well to no avail, Dane is in town, and he's out for my daughter's blood. She saw him, not just half an hour ago. So he's pretty close by," Lorelai yelled.
"I'm going to get Rory, so we can tell her this," Jess ran up the stairs. He came back down a few minutes later, his face blanched white, and a note waving in his hand.
"He took her," Jess whispered, his tone ragged.
"What'd you mean, he took her?" Lorelai moaned, horror evident in her voice. "What's he going to do my baby," she began to get hysterical.
Luke gripped her arms, "We'll find her, I promise." He grabbed the note and read it.
Run and hide. It'll do you no good. Never will you Rory find. Dane has something that you want. In the cave, fear we must brave.
"What the hell does that mean?" Lorelai looked at Dean's family.
"I think I know," Jess grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. Leaving the others to follow in his wake.
Darkness swirled around her, flashes of her life swirled back. Lorelai her mother, living in the shed behind the Inn, Jess kissing her, Dean kissing her, Lane's laughter, her grandmother and grandfather, and a dark face behind a obscure veil.
She felt sharp objects digging into her skin, not painfully so. She opened her eyes, and saw portions of a full moon glaring down at her. She was outside, being dragged somewhere by her captor. She could feel the evil emanating off him. Fear began to rear its ugly head, she closed her eyes, and fabricated his face in her mind. Jess would save her. Were her last thoughts, as she sunk back into the darkness.
