Chapter 4: The Face of a Phantom


Recap: Willow sprung from her sleep. Her eyes were wide in fear. She was drenched from head to toe in swear. Staggering out of bed, Willow managed to stumble into her bathroom. Quickly stripping of her clothes, she jumped into the shower. Willow noticed a burning sensation in her neck were Dustin had bitten her all that time ago.

After the quick shower, Willow lay on her bed. Her neck still burned from the memory of that horrible night. Willow shivered as the scene replayed in her mind. She rolled over onto her back. She lay starring at the ceiling for god knows how long.

She looked over at the small clock on her nightstand. It was almost time for her to leave for school. Willow crawled under the covers, not wanting to leave the safety of her bed. She closed her eyes hoping to sleep peacefully. Barely five minutes after she closed her eyes, Willow slipped into a dreamless sleep.

~Several Hours Later 4p.m.~

Willow jumped awake to the sound of someone pounding on her door and screaming her name. She eased herself out of the warm sheets of her body. When she made it about two yards from the door she stopped dead in her tracks, a chilling thought running through her mind. 'What of it's Dustin?' She asked herself. Willow crept to the door slowly. She stood on her tip toes to look through the peep hole. She let out a breath of relief when she saw Symores mess of black hair and his thick glasses.

"Willow? Please open the door! I know your in there!" Symore yelled, still banging on the door. Willow threw the dark wood door open and hugged Symore tightly. "I'm happy to see you, too!" He chuckled. Willow let go of his waist and let him inside, shutting the door behind him. "You're a little bitch, you know that right? I was over here freaking the fuck out because you're not at school and I find out you've been sleeping all day." Symore pouted.

"Aw you were worried about me?" Willow asked. He nodded in response.

"I'm sorry it's just..." Willow trailed off, sighing softly. "You remember how I told you about what happened before I came here?" Willow asked softly. She had told Symore about how she had been taken by Dustin. She left out the parts of him and the rest of his clan being vampires. Symore nodded, his fists clenching tightly. "I...Dustin...he...he's coming back for me." She stuttered out, a few tears falling from her eyes.

Symore pulled her into a tight hug, quickly brushing her tears away. "Shh, Hun. Don't worry. I'm not letting that demon take you back to that hell. He'll have to go through me first." He growled, tightening his grip on Willow. She cried into his chest, gripping his shirt in her hands tightly.

The pair staid like that for a good hour and a half. Symore pulled Willow away slightly to look into her eyes. "As long as I'm still standing, I'm not letting anyone touch you. Okay?" He said, taking his sleeve to dry Willows face. Symore vowed right then and there that he'd never let that monster touch his Willow. "Thank you, Symore." Willow whispered. Even though Willow knew he didn't stand a chance against Dustin, she still found comfort in his words.

"Now how about I go get some take out, a big tub of Ben & Jerry's, and a couple horror movies? I'll stay with you tonight okay?" He said, already slipping his shoes on. "Thank you for staying." Willow was glad he'd be here tonight, she was afraid to be alone. Symore placed a soft kiss on her cheek before he walked out the door, locking it behind him.

Twenty minutes after Symore left, there was a soft knock on the door. Willow stood up from the couch and made it over to the door. She turned the lock and opened the door, expecting to find Symore on the other side. Instead of Symore, a tall man that looked to be 6'2 towered over her.

He had long dark hair that hung around his face his skin was a milky color, slightly paler than her own. A dog collar was buckled around the mans neck. He had on a black jacket with fur around the collar. Thick strips hung from his jacket with round loops of medal in some places. Willow could see a black button up shirt peaking out from beneath the jacket. The man had on a pair of black jeans and combat boots. Willows eyes traveled back up to his face. She noticed he had the right side of his bottom lip pierced.

He wore thick eye liner it seemed around his eyes. Willow nearly gasped when she looked onto his eyes. They were a bright ice blue with a tint of green. Willows eyes widened in fear and realization. Those eyes. She had seen them before. Those eyes belonged the face of a phantom that haunted her dreams and memories.

Dustin.
