Chapter Two
"Are you sure about this?" Sam asked me for the tenth time. I laughed with my face buried in his shoulder. Sam and I were giving each other a quick goodbye hug, or at least trying to make it quick. We had been hugging since the past five minutes because I for one didn't want to pull away and I knew that Sam was way too polite to pull away first.
"I'm gonna miss you," I murmured into the fabric of Sam's T shirt, trying to take in his scent and remember it, "a lot." It was true. I was going to miss having someone around who would care about me like Sam did and give me a lecture when one of my socks ended up in the middle of his room or give me his bitch face when I deliberately left the shower on to soak him.
"I'll miss you too," Sam admitted as I finally pulled away, "but hey at least I won't trip over your skateboard when I get out of the bed early in the morning."
I opened my mouth to respond with a sarcastic comment when I suddenly heard Dean say, "Sherry, if you don't get your ass in this car right now, I might just change my mind and leave you here!"
"I'm coming!" I said, quickly turning around to go sit in the car. I opened the car door and sat next to the driver's seat but I noticed that the Impala wasn't going anywhere. As I turned to look at Dean questioningly, I noticed that he had his eyes on Sam who was now fetching his keys from his back pocket to open the door.
I smiled as I realised that Dean was going to wait until Sam reached home safely and then drive away to whatever destination we were going to next. My eyes wandered along the gravelly path leading up to the entrance of the house, when something shiny caught my eye.
I was out of the car in a flash and heading towards the shiny object, curiosity getting the best of me. "Sherry I swear if you don't get into the car right this minute…" Dean threatened, but he stopped short when he realised what I was doing, "What the hell are you doin'?"
I heard the Impala door opening and closing as I bent down to hold the shiny object in my hand. "What the hell is that fugly…?" Dean started to say. I turned around to face Dean who was standing right next to me and handed the object to him.
"It's a ring," I said to him, slightly amused. Dean observed the ring and then gave it back to me.
"What's that gem right in the middle?" Dean asked, "Quartz, maybe?"
I bit my lip as I looked at the huge yellow gem right in the middle of the ring. It had just a slight tinge of orange in it and it had a strange glow around it, "No, it's a garnet."
"Huh!" Dean huffed out, "That's strange. Who would leave a ring like this just lying around here?"
"I don't know," I replied, Dean's voice somehow sounded further away than it had just a few minutes ago. It sounded more in the background and I suddenly felt very detached as I continued staring at the garnet. It was as if the power of the garnet was somehow pulling me in and I just couldn't look away.
As it pulled me inside it more and more all my senses blurred, concentrating only on the shiny yellow object in my hand. That was when the darkness surrounded me. There was nothing around me except for unlimited blackness, but unlike a lot of people I didn't get uncomfortable or scared of it.
I mean yes it was as annoying as hell when the lights went out and I had to stumble around like a blind man, but I had no problem if at any point in the night I woke up with complete darkness inside the house. The only reason I actually turned the lights on was to see where I was going and so that I wouldn't bump my head into the wall.
So I was comfortable in the darkness, until I felt something moving in that darkness and heard the shuffling of feet. I held my breath as I saw two eyes slowly fluttering open right in front of me and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw the colour of those eyes. They were the exact same colour of the garnet ring and the exact same shade too.
The creature in front of me had yellow eyes!
