Chapter Five
The kiss was perfect. Dani had never felt a more perfect kiss before. She probably thought because he was dead why it was so good. It was then that he pulled away his hands still stroking her cheeks. Dani could feel the empty space in her heart start to fill up.
"Binx," Dani started to whisper. "I love you too." Binx and Dani exchanged smiles and continued on down the sewers.
It was a little after two when Dani and Binx arrived at Dani's house. Her parents were still at the town hall party so they were clear.
"I remember this house," Binx exclaimed. "You carried me in here and up to Max's room."
"Well, its my room now," Dani replied. "Come on." Dani and Binx headed up to Dani's room and within a few minutes Dani was lying on her bed sleeping with Binx watching from the stairs.
It had been a while since Binx actually saw Dani sleep in the flesh. Watching her from Heaven was completely different. He had been glad they sent him back to let Dani know how he truly feels about her and has since that Halloween. However, he knew he had to go back when his job was done only he hoped that wouldn't be soon. He continued to watch her face for signs of dreams, but she was simply lying there her face void of anything but contentment. Suddenly she was grimacing and she began to move around groaning.
Dani continued to let the tears fall while she watched Binx and Emily walk off towards the Heavens. The sun was completely up and Max and Allison watched from behind Dani. Suddenly the surroundings changed and she was back inside the Sanderson house. As she turned to see Max and Allison she was frightened when she saw Jareth and Bryce. Dani thought of nothing but to run. As she turned to run, however, she ran right into Gavin who smiled sadistically.
"Welcome home, my bride," he said deeply.
Dani woke up screaming and Binx was beside her in a flash.
In the sky, Gavin closed his eyes and thought about Dani. Because she had just dreamed her mind was open and clear and he would be able to track her. Through the sky he followed her mind all the way to her house. Smiling with triumph he opened his eyes, called upon his brothers and started towards the house.
Dani stared into Binx's eyes as he thought of what she had dreamt about. Just as she opened her mouth to speak the door downstairs opened up and Max called out to them.
"Up here!" Binx shouted back as Allison and Max entered the room with a bag full of supplies. "You guys make it here all right?"
"Yeah," Dani replied stepping out of bed. "No problem whatsoever."
"Good," Max responded. "We should have enough supplies to fight them off. We have salt and athletic equipment." Binx gave Max a puzzled look as Max explained. "To knock them in the head with." Binx nodded still with the puzzled look.
"Are we just going to stay here?" Allison asked pulling out the salt. She remembered when she used the salt against the Sanderson sisters for protection.
"Well where else can we go?" Max inquired.
"I have an place," they heard someone say from the top of the stairs. "How about Hell?" All four turned and saw Gavin, Jareth and Bryce standing there. Binx pushed Dani behind him as Allison held up the salt and Max grabbed out his bat. "I've come for my bride." Gavin stared at Dani with intense pale eyes as Binx held his arms in front of her.
"Think again, warlock," Binx shouted back causing Gavin to turn his gaze to him. Gavin had walked all the way down the stairs and was only a few inches away from Binx. Jareth and Bryce were right behind him.
"Whose going to stop me?" Gavin asked smirking slightly. While Gavin, Jareth and Bryce were busy looking at Binx they failed to notice Max sneak up behind them. "You?"
"No, us!" Max cried bringing the bat down upon Gavin knocking him into Jareth and Bryce. Taking the advantage Binx pulled Dani out of the room followed by Allison and finally Max.
Moments later they arrived at the Old Burial Hill Cemetery. The hollowed ground would forbid the warlocks from walking. Closing the gates behind them they ran till they reached old Billy the Zombie's grave. It had been reburied and no one knew how it sprouted from the ground in the first place.
"We'll be safe here," Allison exclaimed.
"Until they arrive on their broomsticks," Dani explained clinging tight to Binx.
"Allison, circle Dani with the salt," Max demanded when they heard the warlocks coming their way.
"Here they come!" Binx shouted as Dani remained in the circle near a low point of the ground. Max, Allison and Binx spread out as they saw Gavin, Jareth and Bryce hover in the sky on their broomsticks.
The kiss was perfect. Dani had never felt a more perfect kiss before. She probably thought because he was dead why it was so good. It was then that he pulled away his hands still stroking her cheeks. Dani could feel the empty space in her heart start to fill up.
