A Moment to Spare- Chapter 2

Glenn walked as he glided his cart full of groceries down the aisle. He had a sour look on his face as he recalled the previous events of his morning.

"Glenn....it's just grocery shopping. Why will you NOT let me go grocery shopping?" Jessica complained with her hands set tightly on her hips. Her stomach stuck out as she glared at Glenn evilly but still curious on what was wrong.

"Jess, I just don't want you going alone alright??? There are a lot of dangers.....out there...." Glenn replied, hesitant and full of stutters. Nothing but the nightmares have been in his mind since he woke up and he decided to do ANYTHING just to keep her from danger. He couldn't let anything happen to her.

"I just want you to stay home with me! Why are you making it difficult? What, you don't want to spend time with me? Do you not love me anymore?" Glenn pleaded, finding the most idiotic excuses he could come up with. Jessica looked at him, more confused than ever.

"Glenn, where the hell did that come from? Honey, I spend almost all 24 hours with you 7 days a week since I've been on maternity leave and you working from home and leaving you for at least an HOUR to go grocery shopping doesn't mean I don't love you! Babe, if I could I would spend every single waking moment with you but right now we're out of cereal, vegetables, pasta, pop, coffee, milk, bread and the list goes on and on. I also need supplies for the baby. I'm due any day now and you know that. Now just let me go to Jewel for a little while and I promise you, we'll spend all the time in the world together once I get back....." Jessica spat out at Glenn, walking and grabbing her keys on their kitchen counter.

Glenn still stood in her way, refusing to let her by. "There are muggers out there and you can get hurt and....."

"Glenn...it's Los Angeles. Of course there are muggers and of course there are robbers but I've been fine the MILLIONS of other times I've gone outside practically my whole life. I climbed the Matterhorn AND I've been a stunt double in Hollywood for Pete's sake. I'll be fine."

"Well, what about the baby! You need to have rest...you need to sit down and relax here at home where its safe!!!"

"I also need FOOD GLENN. Now get the FREAK out of my way!!!"

"No! Come on Jess...please? Just stay here!"

"Glenn, this is so stupid. You're fighting over nothing! And now my stress level is high because of you!! Why are you treating me like a fragile prisoner?? I just don't get you!!"

"I...I....I....." Glenn stood in front of her, struggling to find another excuse but nothing seemed to come up except for the 'Yeah a demon might kill you anywhere or anytime and I need to protect you from evil magic...plus my kid and my best friend. Is that good enough?' but obviously that wasn't an open option.

Jessica clenched her teeth together as her anger was visible in all ways possible. She took her keys and threw them at Glenn hard and Glenn caught them as they almost fell them to the floor. "Fine Glenn...you want to be like this?? THEN GO OUT YOURSELF AND I'LL REST. AND I SWEAR BY THE TIME I GET OUT OF OUR BEDROOM, I BETTER SEE GROCERIES IN OUR KITCHEN OR YOU WILL GET IT SO BAD. I MEAN IT TOO, DON'T MEAN I DON'T!" she screamed at him as he turned around and stomped slowly to the bedroom.

Glenn stood still as he made a face full of regret. He listened as the door slammed and sighed as he realized that he had extremely pissed her off. The door opened again and he heard her yell: "YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELF!!!" and heard the door slam once more. The regret in his face rose to a higher level as he sighed once more.

'You pissed her off genius. Now what do you do? You can't leave her alone....but....you can. You'll only be an hour or less, and it won't be long. I can leave her alone for at least that.' he thought as his conscience fought against him. His stomach growled and it yelled out to him that he was hungry.

'Just GO dammit. We all need food and it's just grocery shopping. You don't even know if that dream was real, and besides there is no absolute reason why somebody would try to kill us. I mean, it's stupid. It's really, really stupid. JUST GO! She'll be fine. You'll be feeling so salty once you come back and find her sleeping peacefully and unharmed.' Glenn thought, as he got angry at himself and he grabbed his jacket and keys and stomped out the door.

Glenn viciously grabbed a box of pancake mix and a small bag of chocolate chips and threw them into the cart. He mumbled to himself as he went along.

"What the freak is wrong with you Glenn. This magic stuff is ruining your life. I mean, how do you even know if it's real. Just because Paige and her stupid sisters showed you? Stop this. You're acting paranoid and your wife is totally pissed at you because of it. You don't care about Paige, there is no feeling there....just like there's nobody coming to kill us. It's impossible....." he muttered. His eyebrows were arched in a bitter way and he was pouting as he went up and down the aisles.

As he looked at the different kinds of flour he noticed an unusual guy glancing towards him who was looking at the different kinds of flour. He wore a long, dark trench coat, big enough to suffocate another being and had a hat topped on his head that layered his big curly hair. His eyes were dark, and were covered with a shadow that made him look extremely suspicious. Glenn glared over to the man and shot a death look towards him.

'What are YOU looking at Mr. DICK Tracy.....what a freak. Who wears that stuff in the middle of July. And he probably thinks I'M weird.' Glenn thought to himself as he rolled away into another aisle still very bitter against himself. He sighed to himself as he picked up a bottle of pine-sol.

'What's up with me? Why the heck am I so cranky? This isn't usually like me....'

As he looked around at the different varieties of breakfast food.

"Let's see. Corn pops, Corn Flakes, Corn puffs....." he said to himself, looking at all the cereals. He glanced over to his left and saw a middle aged, pretty woman staring at him awkwardly and Glenn knew right away that he had been talking to himself a little too loud. He grinned and laughed nervously. "So...hard to choose!" he said pointing to the cereals.

The woman looked even more freaked out and rolled her eyes to the tips of her lids and let out a small smirk. "Riiiiight...." she replied as she turned away.

Glenn rubbed the back of his neck as he frowned. Boy, was he out of it today. He looked at the never ending wall of breakfast cereal and didn't seem to care about which one he picked. "Fruit Loops it is. Come on Toucan Sam, I want to get home to my wife and fix whatever I started...." he said, throwing the cereal into the cart. As he turned around he was startled as somebody passed him and bumped him pretty hard that it knocked him over.

He was knocked into the shelves and a bunch of boxes fell off and scattered all over the floor. Glenn looked rubbed his aching head and yelled, "What the hell's the matter with you asshole??" without looking at the person who hit him. He looked up but there was nobody there except the woman who had been staring at him before and she looked at him angrily.

"What did you say???" she said walking up to him. Glenn looked around the whole aisle but it was as if nobody had even passed through. "Um...Uhhh...."

"Look mister, I don't know what the heck you're getting at by talking to me like that but..."

"No ma'am, I'm so sorry. I could have sworn I was pushed down by someone who went down the aisle who was here but now...he's now...and....yeah." he said, not knowing what to say. The woman glared at him and turned back to her cart and grabbed bunch of other groceries. Glenn looked around the aisle once more, just to see if the guy was still hanging around but there was no trace of anyone in the cereal aisle.

Glenn shook his head, wondering if he was really out of it that it was resulting in severe hallucination and a possible mental disability. Or maybe he was drunk off the two beers he drank in the morning to calm him down.

He bent down to pick up the piles of boxes that spilled onto the floor. They spread all over the aisle. He got to where the woman was and was kneeling to pick up all the boxes up. As he looked up for one second he noticed a shadow reflecting onto the ground over at the end of the aisle. He looked closer and saw that a man was hiding behind one of the shelves at the end of the first aisle.

The man was staring at Glenn closely and he didn't notice that Glenn had noticed him. His eyes were narrowed onto him and Glenn was startled once he saw the guy. Seeing what the man had on, he remembered that it was the same mysterious man that was glancing over to him in the baking aisle. Now Glenn was sure that the man was the one who knocked him down and he was following him.

Suddenly, the man looked away and his eyes were widened a bit and it was as if he realized that Glenn found him behind the shelf. He started to walk away and Glenn lunged forward with his hand out to try and go after him but instead he accidentally grabbed the leg of the other woman and she screamed. "LET GO OF ME YOU MOLESTER!!"

Glenn backed away and stood up and tried to apologize but the woman was spazing. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to I just kind of forgot that you were in front of me. I was trying to call someone else at the end of the aisle...I really didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable..."

"YOU PERV!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!" she screamed as she broke away from Glenn and grabbed her cart and raced away down the aisle.

"Please!! I'm SORRY!! REALLY SORRY!!! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!!" he yelled after her but she wasn't listening. Glenn remembered the mysterious man and ran to the middle of the aisle and looked around the shelves to see if the man was still there. He raced around, knowing it would be easy to spot a curly big haired man in a big coat and hat in a brightly, well lighted normal grocery store yet after 10 minutes of running around, he couldn't find ANY trace of the man.

He ran back to his cart, giving up and finally deciding that he was going absolutely nuts. "I need sleep." he muttered to himself as he got into a line at a checkout counter. He loaded his groceries onto the moving belt and waited until it was his turn to pay. The clerk scanned everything and bagged everything.

"Your total's 59.97 sir." he said, looking dazed and sleepy.

Glenn reached into his back pocket of his pants for his wallet so he could pay. "Hold on for just a second." he said, reassuring the clerk.

But when he checked all of the pockets he had on his clothes, his wallet didn't show up in either of them. "Crap..."

The customers behind him started to complain and were getting angry but he kept searching his pockets. "Sir, can you please pay. If you can't, you'll have to step to the side." the clerk said, now irritated. Glenn searched and searched but still couldn't find his wallet. "I SWEAR that I had it just right now....I was...I had....somebody..."

He then remembered the mysterious man who bumped into him and realized that the man stole his wallet. Glenn rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe how unbelievably idiotic this day was going for him. What was next? He turned to the clerk and pleaded. "Look, I was pickpocketed, but if you check on your data on your computer, you'll see that I have an account here. Wait! I have my preferred card on my keys! You could just scan this and see that I have a credit account for these stores and you can just charge it on there."

The clerk yawned and took his keys as he scanned. It took about 10 minutes to find his account but he found it and Glenn was relieved. He finished his turn but as he was walking out and turning to get his groceries he found a lot of angry faces staring coldly at him.

"NEXT TIME COME PREPARED BUDDY. WE'VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOREVER!!"

"Sorry..." he muttered as he grabbed his groceries and walked out, not wanting to see the other customers' angry expressions. He walked outside to his car and opened his trunk to load his groceries. Once he was done sighed and leaned against the side of his car.

"Can this day get anymore difficult??" he asked himself, looking to the dark, cloudy sky. As if on cue, thunder boomed and lightning flashed across the sky and a few seconds later, hard drops of rain came pouring onto the parking lot of the supermarket. He banged his head lightly onto his car. "Why the heck did I ask?" he whined, feeling the total and complete irony of his situation.

Feeling cranky and terrible, he went back into his car and started his drive home. "Let's hope Jessica calmed down a bit....I can only hope for the best after all my bad luck today....." he whispered as he drove out into the utter darkness of the rainy clouds.

****

Glenn leaned over the steering wheel as he struggled to see through the ripples of water pouring down his windshield blurring his view of the road.

"Jesus Christ, it's pouring like crazy."

His windshield wipers were too slow and weak to make his vision clearer of the open road, but somehow he managed to make his way to the underground parking lot of his apartment. He got out of his car and gave a sigh of relief as he finally felt relieved that he was home. He picked up his groceries and climbed up the many stairs to his 9th floor apartment since the elevator was out of order.

As he walked to his apartment and pulled out his keys he recalled the events of his crazy and ironic afternoon.

First he awoke to a revisited nightmare that now included the death of his best friend and his wife. Then his worries cause him a fight with his wife and a forced trip to the grocery store where he has an encounter with an alleged suspicious shadow man who pickpocketed his wallet and caused him false molesting accusations by a young woman. After he gets stuck into traffic and almost gets into a car accident by the stupid hard pouring rain.

"Okay...everything will be okay. Just make peace with the wife. You'll cancel all the credit cards later..." he said, trying hard to motivate himself since things seemed so ironic and hopeless.

As he approached his apartment, he put down his groceries and found the key to his house and was about to open the door, when he realized through the crack at the bottom of the door that lights were flashing on and off constantly. His eyes widened and his heart started to pound as his blood rushed with the adrenaline and fear. "Jessica...JESSICA!" he screamed.

He rushed to put his keys in his pocket and kicked the door down with one solid sidekick to the lock above the doorknob. He rushed in and saw that every little light in his house was blinking. The lamps in the living room, the oven lights, the blinking clock/radio lights, the night lights, the florescent lights in the kitchen, everything. His mouth stayed open as he stared at the open scene.

What was happening? No...it couldn't be something demonic. It couldn't be.

But it could.

"JESSICA!" Glenn screamed as he ignored the flashing lights and ran to his bedroom. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He banged onto the door as hard as he could with his tightened fists as he yelled his beloved wife's name in worry. "JESSICA!!! JESSICA!! WHERE ARE YOU??"

He gave up his banging and stood back so he could kick the door down once more. As the door flew open, he gasped at the sight in his bedroom. The room was no longer visible, just a big swirling black portal. He stared at the mystical circle in awe but also in fear as he remembered Jessica. "NO! JESSICA!!" he screamed. Suddenly, he was startled as some force pulled him into the endless swirling black circle and it swallowed him whole.

Glenn landed flat on his back on a cold, hard floor. He opened his eyes only to see nothing but pitch black and he sat up to rub his neck to comfort his aches from the big fall onto the floor. He groaned but as he came to, he recognized the scene and shook his head. It was the same room of endless dark, and there was nothing in it. No light to lead him to right way, if there even was one in this place.

He rubbed his eyes and held his head in frustration. This couldn't be right....it just couldn't be. It was only a dream.

But his nightmare had now came to life and somehow he knew what would happen next.

There was a small hiss behind him and Glenn turned around slowly, afraid of what might be behind him. When he turned around, everything was still dark and he couldn't see anything. He squinted, hoping he could see one little figure, one little shape. Or Jessica.

Out of nowhere, something snapped at him. Like a vicious dog only this dog was way bigger and fiercer. A figure walked out into his range of vision on all fours and showed his sharp fangs with slimy drool dripping down it's chin and onto the floor. It was green, with spikes on it's back and was big enough to chew his head off. Glenn backed away slowly as he recognized the creature from his nightmare....from his deadly dream.

"This can't be happening..." he whispered to himself. The creature growled at him and abruptly lunged itself at Glenn, opening it's mouth to get ready to snap it's huge teeth on Glenn but Glenn stepped back in time and started running as fast as he could, not caring where his way was leading him but caring that it was far away from the demonic creature.

Glenn ran faster as his chest started to feel heavier by the minute but he knew that he had to keep going or he would be fresh meat for one huge puppy. As he got even more tired, he looked to his back and saw the vicious hound gaining up on him. Glenn tried to gain more speed but he was too weak and the hound lunged itself towards Glenn and attacked his left leg. He screamed in pain as he fell to the floor and felt the hound biting his flesh.

"AHHH!" he screamed, as he felt the hound's fangs dig into the back of his shins and he couldn't bare the enormous amount of pain he was feeling. Yet, he gathered up to strength to turn and kick the hound right off him. He crawled away and watched the hound growl but then back away into the shadows and watched it disappear into the darkness. Glenn groaned as he grabbed his leg.

He felt his thick blood as he touched his wounded leg. "This never happened in the dream...." he whispered and moaned in more pain. He closed his eyes and tried to suck up the pain but he knew it was no use. He looked at the big hole in his jeans and the massive bite the hound took out of him. His leg was losing a large amount of blood and he felt the huge bite marks that the hound had engraved into his skin.

He sat up and took off the shirt he had on his back so that he was only wearing a thin undershirt. He found the strength to tear his shirt apart and wrapped it around his leg. He bit his lip as his wound stung and hurt. He stopped to breathe for a moment, keeping a watch out since he was afraid the hound might come back.

"Where the hell am I??" he asked himself.

"Just a little place I like to call a personal hiding spot." a dark, scratchy voice said coldly behind him. Glenn turned around on his back and looked to see who's voice it was. He saw a figure in the shadows and it stepped out to reveal himself.

"You..." Glenn said angrily as he saw the curly big haired suspicious tall man from the supermarket. The man smirked and sighed. Glenn felt the irony of the situation, that this man had definitely followed him for a reason and was some sort of evil that was planning something, just something against him.

"Who....why..." Glenn tried to say but pain suddenly began to take over all the nerves in his body. He groaned and fell flat to the floor, clutching his heart as it began to pound making a thumping sound through his ears. He felt himself turning red and he gasped for air. The man walked around, his solid footsteps echoing through the endless darkness.

"It's no use fighting. The poison will get to you in less than 5 hours and you will suffer a slow and painful death, thanks to my nifty atraindare (A- TRUH- IN- DA- RAY) here...." the man whispered, but Glenn could hear him wide and clear. Glenn painfully looked up at him and saw that the green hideous creature that had take a bite out of him had playfully walked up the man's side and the man started petting his head. It was as if it was a real pet.

A real....deadly pet.

"Where's....my wife....bastard...." Glenn managed to spit out, gathering a bit of his strength left. The man laughed and pointed and looked forward, behind Glenn. Glenn turned around as fast as he could to see what he was pointing at, and found that there was another figure lying motionless on the floor.

'Oh god. It's Jessica.'

Glenn suddenly forgot all the pain and found his strength to crawl on his knees to reach her. He knew what would happen, he saw it all in the dream. He knew in his heart that she and his unborn son could be long gone, but he didn't want to believe it. It was only supposed to be a nightmare that would never come true. He crawled as quickly as he could and once he reached to where she was he collapsed next to her side as he clutched his flesh eaten leg.

Tears were brought to his eyes as he stared at the horrid sight in front of him. It was familiar, he'd seen it before, and it was exactly the same. He dragged her onto his lap for some comfort on her head. Crimson red blood was all over her, all over her stomach, all over her hands, and all over her face. Glenn kissed her head and started to sob.

It hurt too much to be real.

He was startled as he felt a light touch to his cheek. He looked up at Jessica and realized she was barely awake. Her hand slipped down quickly after the light touch. Blood spread all over his hands as he held her tight, ignoring the pain he was feeling as his leg was pressed by her weight. He stared at her pale white face and her eyes turned toward Glenn and her voice was barely heard in his ears, but he knew what she was saying even before she said it.

"Glenn....evil...."

Glenn's tears flowed down his cheeks in large amounts and he held her even tighter. "Jess, don't speak.... you shouldn't even move. You'll be okay....the baby will be okay. We'll all be fine...don't worry about anything." he whispered to her, his voice cracking along with his heart. He felt the humongous ache in his chest as he took sight of her. So wounded, so weak and so fragile.

She couldn't leave him, she meant everything to him. Everything in the world. He held her to his chest and cuddled into her soft blonde hair. "Glenn....baby's gone....he's gone..." she whispered. Jessica was crying also, her tears mixing with the drops of blood that lingered on her face. Her breathing grew slower as she spoke and she sounded so tired.

"I love you forever." he said, as loud as he could make it. His voice grew more bold and showed more anger than sadness. Jessica smiled and Glenn held their eye to eye contact until she went limp in his arms and her eyes stood still. Glenn was shocked and didn't know what he would do. He started to cry and he held her tight to his chest, never wanting to let go.

He looked at her stomach, now nothing but a lifeless lump covered in blood. His son was gone and his wife was gone. Glenn kissed his wife gently on the lips and kissed her hand before he gently put her down.

"How could you.....DO THIS TO THEM?" Glenn shouted with angry tears running down his cheeks. "How could you do this to me...." Glenn whispered as he started to sob. Suddenly a flashing ball of light came hurling towards him. Glenn moved out of the way but was grazed by it and had a big bleeding wound on the left side of his stomach. Glenn screamed in pain as he held his wound.

"Now it's your turn...."

The evil being came out once again from the shadows and now had a dagger in his hands. He walked over to Glenn and kneeled over it. "Prophecies were never meant to be true." he said as he lifted his hand to stab the dagger into Glenn. The man was surprised as Glenn grabbed his wrist and held his hand back from touching him. Glenn felt an enormous amount of pain from his side and his leg but knowing that he was facing his wife and his son's murderer was all he needed for motivation.

Glenn used his good leg to kick him right in the head and the man groaned as he toppled over to Glenn's side. Glenn rolled over and grabbed the dagger that had fallen out of his hand and threw it at the man. It hit the man right in the shoulder and the man screamed in pain. Glenn covered his eyes as the endless walls of darkness began to fade around him and disappeared all together. Once he opened his eyes, he found himself in his dark apartment.

He looked around if the demon man was anywhere near him, but everything seemed to have disappeared. Even Jessica's body.....

Glenn stopped and rested, feeling extremely weak from the two enormous wounds he had and tried to think on what he was to do. He wiped the leftover tears from his eyes. Someone was trying to kill him, his wife and his unborn son were just murdered.....and he was dealing with magic. He knew only one place he could go for help.

He needed Paige.
