Chapter 5: Ghostly Pain

The Jackal turned around when he heard screaming. He knew it was Iris.

"No…. Iris!" he said. He turned around quickly and ran as fast as he could back upstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He stopped just at the top of the staircase. Ryan looked over to Iris' bedroom doorway. Glancing down, he noticed a few drops of blood.

He shook his head at the thought of what might have happened.

He continued into her room, gasping at the horrific sight before him.

There was a trail of blood from the bathroom to where Iris was hunched over next the bed. The towel she was holding was soaked with blood.

"Iris!!" he said in disbelief. "What happened?! Who… who did this?!"

She finally opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Ryan…" she said, talking barely above a whisper.

"Iris…" he started to walk over to her but she stopped him.

"Ryan… please…. Just go away!" she cried.

He stared at her. He didn't want to leave. She was hurt. But he listened and turned around to go out.

He stopped at the door and looked back at Iris again. He looked down at the wound for a second. Then it hit him; he knew who did this to her.

He clenched his fists and raced back down to the basement.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Iris opened her eyes again and looked down. Gently she pulled back the towel to examine her wound.

"I think… the bleeding… has stopped…" she breathed.

Even though the pain was excruciating she had to get up.

"I have to… dress the wound…"

She finally stood up on both feet and limped back into the bathroom. Leaning up against the sink, she opened up the medicine cabinet and began to fumble through it.

She sighed with relief when she found what she was looking for… bandages.

Taking the towel she was holding, she ran the corner of it under cold water and began to wipe off the blood. She then wrapped the bandages around her waist and stumbled back into the bedroom.

Putting the clothes she was wearing before back on, which was very difficult to do, and climbed back into bed, careful of her cut.

Covering herself up, she turned her back toward the door and began to cry again.

"I don't want to be here anymore. I just… want to leave…" she said through sobs before falling asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ryan ran around the basement, frantically looking for the Angry Princess. His heart was filled with anger.

Finally he saw her and rushed over.

Dana turned around to look at him, a satisfied grin plastered on her face.

"Well, its nice to see you Ryan. I guess you finally decided to join us."

He continued making his way toward her.

"You stupid bitch!! You stupid fucking bitch!! Why did you do that to her?! Huh?! Answer me!!" Ryan yelled slamming his fists against the wall.

Dana just continued to smile at him.

"What ever do you mean Ryan?… oh…" she snickered. "You mean that stupid human girl? Yes I did that. Well, aren't you going to thank me?"

He was becoming more infuriated. "Thank you?! Why the fuck should I thank you?! You almost killed her!!"

The smile faded from her face. "What! You mean she didn't die?! Damn it, I was so close."

A seductive smile formed on her face. "Ohh, Ryan, why are you worried about her? I mean, you do have me…" Dana said, running her hand across the front of his straitjacket.

Ryan slapped her hand away.

"You bitch… what makes you think I'd want an ugly whore like you?!"

Dana clenched the knife tighter in her hand in anger.

"Ugly?!?!? How DARE you call me ugly!!! I did you a favor!!!" yelling back at him.

"A favor?!? She almost died!!"

Dana just laughed at him. "I can't believe it! Your falling for her! She's a human! Don't be taken in by what she says!! All people are fucking liars!! And she's no different than the rest of them!!"

Dana turned around and began to walk away.

Ryan was near breaking point. "I swear, if you ever go near her again I'll…"

She turned back around "You'll what Ryan?! Kill me?! Sorry, but I'm already dead!! That girl will die eventually!"

He wanted to kill her, but she was right, there was nothing he could do to her. All he could do was watch over Iris.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next couple of days passed without trouble. Iris' wound had started to heal, and she was able to move around easier.

Ryan kept almost constant watch over her. To make sure the Angry Princess didn't do anything to hurt Iris.

He kept his distance though. Just far enough to see her through the house, but so she couldn't see him.

Ryan sighed and leaned against the wall. This was all he could do to protect her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Iris sat down at the edge of her bed and looked out the doorway.

She looked back down to the floor and took a deep breath. "Hmmm…. I haven't seen Ryan In a couple of days…" she lied back down on the bed. "I hope he's alright…" she said as she drifted off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ryan stood back up. "I should check on her just one more time tonight." he said to himself. "Just one more time."

He got to her room and looked at her in her bed. He noticed her eyes were closed.

"She's asleep…"

He looked around the room and then back at Iris. He had never looked at her for this long. Now he began to notice how beautiful she was.

His eyes roamed all over her body. Her full breasts, just barely concealed by her tight t-shirt. Down to her ass and her long, smooth legs.

He was getting excited just looking at her.

He couldn't resist any longer. He walked right up to the bed and sat down close to her. He leaned above her so that his face was right above hers.

He gently blew on her neck. This made her stir a little in her sleep.

He backed off a little.

Slowly her eyes fluttered open and turned her head seeing Ryan right above her.

This startled her. She sat up and got out of bed.

"Ryan….?" she said "What are you doing here?"

Ryan stood up too.

"I just cant keep away from you anymore…. I have to have you!" He walked close to her till they were almost touching.

"Ryan…"

To be continued….
