Betrayal

Previously on Dark Shadows Unleashed, Light is lit in Darkness...

"Brennan, calm down!" Emma walked in, to comfort him. "We were just talking!"
"Calm down? Talking? You looked like you were making out with him, Emma!" Brennan shouted sarcastically, his hand still raised straight at Gerald, who looked up blearily at him. He opened his parched up lips and spoke, "Brennan, I can explain-"

"Adam?" Shalimar spoke.
"Yes, I am calling to say I'm here, can you open the door, Shalimar?"
"Sure," Shalimar spoke and she pressed a button near the computer.

Jesse felt as if he was floating. He couldn't feel his body and what he did feel was numb, controlled. And he hated it. The only thing that seemed to move freely in his state was his eyes, which showed all the fear and anger he had stored in him.
"It's not fun, is it, to feel controlled?" spoke the familiar voice and his eyes followed the same woman's form. His eyes were burning furiously as the woman chuckled.

Adam knocked and opened the door to reveal a crying Emma inside Gerald's arms. Gerald spoke softly into Emma's ear as his swung around to see Adam with a horrified look on his face. Emma turned her teary eyes face at Adam and relief filled her face, but made her feel confused when he saw the glare on his face. Not directed to her, but to Gerald. Then she saw a flicker of ... joy? in Gerald's eyes.

"Get away from him, Emma," Adam spoke as his eyes intently stared at Gerald, who held Emma tightly in his grasp. Gerald's lips curved into an evil grin as he faced Adam, still holding Emma, who slowly started to struggle away from him.

"Why, hello Adam."

Emma struggled and tried to wriggle away from Gerald's grasp but it was as hard as iron. She started to struggle feriously, though she didn't understand why. Why was Adam asking her to get away from Adam? And how did Gerald know it was Adam they saw?

"Gerald, let go!" she shouted but still Gerald still held her, although his gaze was averted towards Adam, who also returned the gesture with a sharp glare.

"Let Emma go," Adam said firmly and Gerald only laughed, a very cold one too. Eyes gliting dangerously, Gerald mouthed his lips into a 'boo!'.

Immediately the room wasw filled with flesh cutting wind and Emma screamed as Adam was pushed away from the door onto the floor. There were new cuts and bruises on his face as Adam got up.

"It's been a long, long time since I saw you, Adam. And you have lots of worry lines now. What made you worry, I wonder?" Gerald spoke as he let go of Emma's wrist and pushed her hard into the room.

Emma gave a gasp and fell on the floor and saw the door being closed in front of her with a slam and a click of the lock. NO! Emma thought frantically as she got up and banged her fists on the door. Pain coursed through her and she gave a groan of pain. So... she was wrong. Gerald was evil, and Brennan was right all along. Why was she being so stupid!

Adam still kept glaring Gerald as Gerald gave a wicked laugh. Both of them could hear Shalimar get up and coming towards them. Shalimar quickly ran towards Adam, now also wearing a glare as well.

Gerald smiled evilly with a dangerous glint in his eyes as Shalimar started to run at him, lunge herself at him in an attempt to attack before she was pulled away from him by Adam.

"No, Shal, don't go near him," Adam instructed and with a growl Shalimar nodded, her eyes going feral.

Gerald stepped forward, raising his arms up in a gentlemanly gesture as slowly his face seemed to illuminatly darkly and it was slowly being replaced by younger man wearing a cape like trenchcoat hiding most of his clothes, with a french looking face and narrow long eyes and thin lips. The Gerald that had been there seconds before was now a man that looked like Dracula Jr.

"Who the hell are you?" Shalimar shouted, her eyes blazing as the man, 'Gerald' walked another step forward.

"You don't know me, my dear. I am Drestine (you pronounce it Dres-teen). No, I am not Gerald. He is dead, I killed him himself. Now, move away, so I can finish my job and kill my dear, old, friend you with. You wouldn't want your pretty face ruined, do you, love?" Drestine hissed slyly as he raised his hand. Slowly a swirling wind orb was held midair in his hands.

"Drestine, why have you come back?" Adam spoke cautionsly as he and Shalimar eyed the orb. Drestine smiled and his eyebrows rised.

"I thought I'd give you a visit. Actually, I am currently in association with lady in a group called Dark Enemies. But you don't care, do you, since your going to die!"

"I'd like to know, Drestine."

Drestine gave a loud snort so unlike his appearance. "Do you think I'm stupid? No, I do not think so, Adam. Lady Jerana will not be pleased if I tell you."

"Whose Jerana?" Shalimar shouted but this time Drestine shot a glare at Shalimar's direction.

"Ladies do not talk that way, my dear. Now tsk, you don't need to know. Enough chichat, Adam, meet your end here!" Drestine laughed as he raised the orb in his hands higher aiming it at Adam's direction.

"I don't think so!" growled a voice and Drestine turned around in alarm as he saw Brennan, holding a electric circulation before Drestine dropped on the ground unconcious, the orb evapouring from his hands.

A/N: Ok, it might have been easy to guess! So Gerald was really Drestine, lol. But there was a Gerald, remember in chapter one? Yup. Anyways, please review and hope you like the chapter!
