Chapter Six:
"Lydia?" the voice faded away softly. "Lydia?" I knew that voice, but I couldn't place it with a face or name. Suddenly I was aware of where I was. Everything around me was still black. I couldn't move. It felt like I was trapped in my own mind and couldn't escape. "Lydia, come on. Wake up." I could feel a hand on my shoulder…the feeling coming back into my finger tips. Slowly and cautiously I opened my eyes, seeing Phil bent over me with such a worried look. "Phil?" I asked. "What on earth happened? All I remember was that you were mad…and I was alone…with Dan I think? And you were angry at him and then Dan…" I gasped. "H-he…" I could feel the blood rush to my face as I slowly began to remember his lips almost against mine. But that embarrassment slowly turned to fear as I remembered his dark red eyes, and the painful pull in my stomach. "Phil? What did he do?"
I realized where I was then. I was at his flat, lying on his bed, while he sat next to me. His head was in his hands. "Lydia, I'm so sorry. I thought he could control his self. I didn't want you to get so involved in this." "Involved in what Phil? Tell me what he did!" I started to panic now, not understanding what had happened. I tried to sit up, but the world spun around me. Every inch of my body felt like I had been beaten with a bat. I groaned, "Uhh why do I feel like this?" "Umm, yah you might feel like that more a couple more days…" Phil said, giving me a weak smile. "Alright, I might as well tell you" he said while I gave him a dirty look. "Okay, Lydia this might sound a little weird but just don't freak out but we, as in Dan, Chris, Pj and I, aren't exactly human…" "Umm…well…uh okay go on" what on earth am I getting myself into.
He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, not knowing how to explain what he had to tell me. "Okay look, basically Lydia, we are like vampires. Except we don't feed on blood, but instead on a person's life force or their soul. We can take in as much as we want, until it does something worse than kill the victim…they become a shell of a body and are emotionless. Its almost like they become zombies." he chuckled to himself. "Or we can just take pieces of it, slowly, like…Dan did…to you" I didn't know what to say. I was shocked that something like this could actually even happen. I mean my life just turned into a fairy tale And yet a nightmare. "When Dan had you alone that first day, and you said you went all paralyzed right?" I nodded. "Well, he actually latched onto your soul. Making you easier to find and follow. Almost like catching on to your scent. That's why I go so upset when you told me about his eyes and the feeling you had. I'm sorry Lydia." The scene in his car slowly began to come back to me and replay before my eyes. I remembered the horrible feeling and the cold that swept over my body and watched the pinkish mist leave my body. My eyes widened as I fully realized what he had done. I shivered at the thought. I couldn't even speak at this point. I could literally feel my brain turn into mush…trying to comprehend all of this. "W-Why did h-he pick me t-then?" I said shaking my head back and forth. I was astounded. Why did this have to happen to me? Am I Dan's prey now?
"I truly am sorry Lydia…Let me go get you something to eat. I'll be right back." Phil said gently. I could tell he was trying to break this to me easily, especially after everything that had happened with Dan. I was still in shock, and weak. Every inch of my body felt like it had weights strapped to it. After a few minutes, Phil came back with a bowl of soup. "Thank you." I said, he smiled back softly. "Sooo…how long am I going to feel weak like this? And…what does this mean for me and Dan now?" I asked. "Well in two days, you should be fine, as long as you get your rest. But for Dan and you…I don't really know. When I caught him with you, in the car, I pulled him away as fast as I could and brought you here. I'm not sure where he went after that. I'll make sure he doesn't come here until I can get you home safe." "Thank you Phil, for everything." I gave him a hug. "Lydia don't thank me. I'm the one who got you into this mess." he smirked. But yet of course, when everything finally felt so right and calm, he bust threw the door. "PHIL!" he screamed. My eyes widened, as I watched Phil run to his bedroom door, slamming it shut and locking it. Our eyes met, and I didn't know what to expect.
