The ground shook beneath their feet, the air itself changed from sweet to bitter. Adam’s arms clutched tight around Dani, unwilling to let her go, when he’d fought so hard to find her again.
A deranged looking Sean seemed to appear out of nowhere; knocking Adam back with such force it ripped them apart. It was painful as they both felt like an ice pick stabbed into the base of their skulls. Adam flipped over to scramble to his feet to get back to Dani, but Sean appeared between them throwing him back again. “I said NO!!”
Dani’s eyes fluttered as the world began spinning around her. She could feel him trying to pull her down again, back into his ocean of delusion. An excruciating migraine nearly bringing her to her knees. He was further embedded in her mind than anyone else, as it was her blood that had changed him. She shook it off before he pulled her all the way under, fighting him as hard as she could.
“I warned you. I gave you a chance to walk away with your head still intact. You have your wife, you should have gone back to her and left us alone. But you wouldn’t listen.” He threw him back again standing over him, “You won’t interfere with us anymore, Dani is mine! She belongs with me!”
“I’ve never been yours!” Dani shouted at him in anger calling his attention from Adam for the moment. His eyes went wide seeing she’d returned to her vampiric continence. He’d turned her human over the course of the past several weeks but it seemed all that had been melted away.
Sean turned away from Adam walking back towards her, “Baby.” He reached out as if to take her hand but she jerked away from his reach her eyes starting to glow. She was remembering more and more of everything that had happened. Everything he had done to her.
“You have done nothing but lie to me, use me, torture me, imprison me in this self indulgent fantasy. Trying to make me into your dream girl, keeping me as a toy.” Sean wasn’t willing to let go of her or the dream world he’d created around them yet.
“Dani, honey. Listen to me. You’re ill.” He said quickly, “And he’s the reason for it.” His voice was dripping with contempt and disgust where Adam was concerned.
“What the hell are you talking about!?!” She demanded in disbelief. Dani winced feeling the headache grow worse, the muscles in her neck and across her shoulders starting to tense and lock up with pain. “The only sickness here is yours!”
“No, that isn’t true. He’s poisoned you. He’s made you think what he’s done to you is a good thing. That you’re fortunate .That you’re grateful for it when you should be resentful.” She started to say something but he stepped closer continuing, “With him, you will always be second in everything Dani. You know, in your heart, that’s true. Eve will always come before you.”
Adam was finally able to get to his feet hearing how Sean was trying to twist their lives around to convince her she would never be loved as much as Eve.
“Look around you, Dani. I’ve created all of this for you, all for you.” Reaching out he snatched her hands in his not letting her pull away this time. “Because I love you. You will always be first in my heart. You always have been.”
“Sean. I. Don’t. Love. You.” She said as plainly and clearly as possible. It seemed like his brain simply wouldn’t digest her words, long before he was turned into this thing. “And to do this to me? All of this? . . . you absolutely do not love me.”
“I do! Oh God Dani I do love you! I always have!” He pulled her closer his hands clutching around hers. Dani tried to draw a breath feeling more pressure inside her head and around her body. “Here we can be together, just you and me. We could have a family together, we were trying to get pregnant for so long with no success no matter what we tried. But here we won’t have that problem. We can have as many children as we want.”
She blinked shocked at his words, “We weren’t ‘trying to have a family’ they paid you to torture me, experiment on me, to try and get me pregnant with a human child! If I had become pregnant then they would have taken it away from me experimented on and tortured it as well!! You blackmailed me into your bed, then when they captured me they starved me of affection and threw you in to keep me alive. That is ALL!!” She shook her head, “My worst fear was that a pregnancy test would come back positive . . .” Suddenly another memory was sparked in her memory. She looked down at her flat abdomen which she last remembered having been the size of a huge beach ball. Her eyes turned towards Adam in panic and fear. The question in her eyes was clear and Adam gave her a reassuring nod that everything was alright. Their daughter was alive, she was well, and she was safe. Dani felt a tense emotional knot in her throat yet a sense of relief at the same time.
Closing her eyes she put her hand to her head, he was dug in so deep and was using all of his strength to subdue her under his influence again. “How could you do this . . .” She opened her eyes looking at him, “How could you do this to anyone? It’s cruel.” She shook her head, “In Tangiers . . . you were so dedicated to helping people who really needed help. That had nowhere else to go, that were sick, weak, helpless. You cared so much.” She took a breath, “What happened to you that you turned into this . . . thing?”
Sean stepped close looking down into her eyes, “You did.” He said in a gentle but serious tone as though he expected her to be flattered by his words. “I love you Dani. So . . . so much I could never express it to you properly in words. I’ve never felt for anyone the way I feel for you.” He slid his fingers through her hair back from her eyes. “I want to have children with you, for us to be a family. I know you want that too baby.”
“Sean . . . . I have a family. A family I love and who loves me more deeply then my own blood relations did. You aren’t . . . .”
He wouldn’t let her continue, “You think it’s me playing with your mind but it’s not. It’s them. It’s him.” He snapped towards Adam. “You don’t want to be someone’s runner up, you deserve so much better than that.” Adam had been frozen in place, Sean had managed to hold him in place and no matter how hard the vampire struggled he couldn’t seem to get free. “Dani, why can’t you see that he ruined your life? If it wasn’t for him manipulating you, dominating you, bullying you, treating you like a child . . . we would be together now. Happily married with everything we’ve ever wanted for our lives.”
Dani winced hardly able to keep her eyes open it felt like her head was in a tightening vice, her knees started to buckle barely able to stay on her feet. Adam’s eyes went wide when he saw her eyes flash from amethyst to green, a moment passed before her real amethyst color returned. She struggled to hold on to her own mind, to the truth.
“Stop.” She said quickly, “Sean stop it. Please, don’t do this. It’s not real. It will never be real!” She cried out. She tore her hand away from his and hit his chest hard with her fists to get him away from her.
“Honey . . .” Sean reached for her again but she hit his hands not wanting him to touch her. She was fighting harder than ever and becoming angrier by the moment each time she felt him pull at her mind. “I love you.” He said desperately.
“You don’t know what it is to love anyone but yourself!” She roared hitting him in the chest again, “The only time in my life I have ever been happy is with Eve and Adam. They love me, and I love them. If I didn’t, you never would have fucking touched me!!” She hit him again, then again. “I don’t care if I’m 2nd or 37th in his hear! HE is and always will be first in mine!”
She reached back as if to throw a punch but Sean caught her wrist twisting her arm back forcing her down to her knees. “I’ve tried everything, but still you’re stubborn.” There were tears in his eyes as he looked down at her, “You’ve let yourself be willfully ignorant and blind.” Dani struggled harder but he was purposely hurting her now to disable her. “I’m not going to let him do this to you. Keep you subjugated like some kind of pet. We were so happy together when he didn’t exist for you!”
Adam tried to move again when she cried out in pain but he was still frozen in place. “EVE!!!” He shouted out.
Outside InterventionEve’s hand lay against Adam’s neck her eyes closed tight watching them. Adam’s blood was still on her lips from when they had fed from each other before he went to sleep to get to Dani. “Now.” Her eyes opened looking at the young female doctor, “DO IT NOW!!”
The young woman went to work hitting switches off in every direction, shutting down the flow of chemicals and medications. Eve reached for her ear piece.
“Jeremy, tell Kaylee to be ready. We have to get them both awake as quickly as possible. We don’t know what will happen if he dies while he’s still got them.”
“She’s ready.” Jeremy answered. “Eve, there’s a lot of movement up top. Be careful.”
“He’s upset, his concentration is suffering. He won’t be able to hold onto the others while he’s focused on Dani and Adam. None of them will be happy about what’s happened to them.” Eve said as the doctor shut down the last of the drugs meant to keep Sean quiet and comfortable.
“It’s not going to take long.” The young woman said nervously stepping back preparing to cover her ears.
Eve took a breath closing her eyes as she dug her claws into Adam’s neck breaking the skin. To help keep his focus and attention away from Sean’s control giving him and anchor to hold onto outside the nightmare.
ApocalypseSean kept Dani on her knees, his hand around her throat as he starred into her eyes, “I’m not the messing with your mind, and I’m the one trying to save you. From his deceit, his seduction, over and over until you accepted all of his lies.
Dani’s eyes were watering from how tight he was strangling her now, pushing her back awkwardly until he caused pain down her spine. “Sean . . . please . . .”
“You aren’t going to let go of this nonsense, this delusion he’s had you living in for the past decade. Not until he’s gone for good.” His hand squeezed around her throat tighter. “If you aren’t strong enough to save yourself, I’ll do it for you.” Tears escaped his eyes in frustration and anger, as he shoved her hard to the ground and turned his attention back to Adam. “You.” He began gritting his teeth, “I know about you. How old you are. How many other women have you done this too?”
Adam gathered all his strength and took a swing at him but it was clumsy, Sean still had far too powerful a hold on them. Sean drew his fist back and hit Adam across the face knocking him back. Adam managed to stay on his feet and growled.
“NO!!” Dani cried managing to pull herself up to her hands and knees trying to scramble towards them. “SEAN! Leave him alone!” She lunged herself forward falling onto Sean grabbing his arm, “Let him go! He’s done nothing to you!”
Sean turned shoving her away, “It’s you he’s wronged, but you refuse to see that! You’ve bought his life and his freedom to many god damn times with your body, your loyalty. . . . too high a price for a worthless beast like him!”
“SEAN! If you hurt him I’ll never forever you! I’ll never ever cooperate or humor you again! Ever!” She shouted with tears in her eyes.
“Once he’s gone, this martyr complex is going to fade. You won’t feel this deep sense of misplaced loyalty and devotion anymore.” Adam lunged towards him only to be struck again. Sean approached him preparing to attack however just before he made contact he froze then screamed out in utter pain.
Both Adam and Dani felt some pressure taken from them and could move with a bit more control over themselves. They both got to their feet. Dani hurried passed him to Adam but as soon as her hand touched his, Sean raised his hand and tore her away from him. Adam tried to hold onto her but he couldn’t. Sean hollered in pain again. He was losing even more of his mental control by the second. Adam’s eyes flashed as he moved over to Sean. Grabbing his shoulder he jerked him up from the ground punching him so hard were it the real world it would have snapped his head from his body.
Before he could recover, his own pain steadily growing, Adam jerked him from the ground punching him repeatedly full force but not letting him go this time. Sean held his hand up to freeze him in place but it lasted only a second before Adam regained control and struck him yet again. Something he wanted to do since the first moment he saw him near Dani in the clinic in Tangiers. He continued to pound on him as Sean hit the ground face first.
“Let her go.” Adam demanded in a stern tone.
“NO!” Sean shouted in defiance. “She’s mine! She belongs here with me!!” He cried out as another wave of excruciating pain hit him throughout his body. “I’m the one who truly loves her! She belongs here with me! Where she can be happy! We’ll be happy once you’re gone!” He shouted.
“She belongs to those to whom she chooses to belong to. I’ve never forced her to be with me, I am who she chooses.” Adam roared kicking him hard in the ribs beyond enraged. “You’ve taken her from me, stolen her away, lied to her, tortured her, RAPED her and yet you still attempt to convince her, lie to her further that such vile actions are that of a true lover.” Adam scoffed seeing such selfish ambition in another, “You and Ava were meant for each other.” He hissed, “Your twisted selfish view of right and wrong. You don’t care about her, you never did. You’ve only cared for yourself throughout this entire farce! Just like Ava. But you won’t be so fortunate to live as long, nor perish as quickly as she did.”
“We were meant to be together . . . you are just in the way as you’ve always been!” Sean hissed in defiance. Adam’s eyes flashed as he brought his heel across Sean’s face.
“LET HER GO!!!” Adam demanded again more forcefully then before.
On the SurfaceJeremy looked at the clock and sighed impatiently, “Kaylee? Anything?”
“Her vitals have spiked. Her temperature is up 9 degrees.” Jeremy heard something in the background, “Shhh. It’s alright. Mommy’s okay.”
“What’s wrong with the baby?” Jeremy asked.
“She’s been fussing for a little while now. I don’t know what’s wrong. I just fed her a second bottle. She should be sleeping.” Kaylee said shushing the little one again. “Warm blood always puts her right to sleep.”
“Well, mom and dad are fighting things out with a lunatic, she might be feeling it.” Jeremy said with a frustrated sigh. “Come on Dani.” He said under his breath, hating not being able to do anything but wait.
EnoughDani’s eyes opened and slowly focused on the two engaged in a heated angry fight. Adam and Sean traded blow after blow. Slowly she pulled herself up feeling dizzy and sick to her stomach. She rested her hand over her abdomen then paused. Dani looked down at herself, her flat abdomen tight and firm as ever but she remembered. She remembered carrying her baby for the 9 months she kept her safe and nourished inside her. Her young daughter whom she had yet to meet and hold in her arms. All because of Sean finally losing what little was left of his mind. Pushing herself to her feet she starred at him remembering everything he’d done, everything he’d said to her, every lie he told, the advantage he took of her.
Sean managed to catch Adam off balance and slammed him to the ground lying prostrate. Before he could get up, Sean fell on top of him, his knee in the middle of the vampires back disabling him. Reaching over he picked up a short broken stick and held the splintered end to Adam’s throat. “This may be a world that exists in my mind outside the physical world, but what do you suppose this will do to a vampires mind?” Adam struggled his eyes glued to the splintered wood. “Let’s find out.” He raised the stick and started to strike but his hand was caught in mid air by his wrist. He looked up seeing Dani, squeezing his arm so hard his hand was turning white. Her razor sharp claws ruthlessly cutting into his flesh. Her eyes were glowing bright, “Dani . . .” Sean said wincing hardly able to control the pain inside now the pain outside. She growled and pulled him up off of Adam not releasing him. “Baby . . . calm down . . .” He said hearing the feral growl growing inside her vibrating her body from her core.
“What you’ve done . . . there is no beating heart in you. You BASTARD!” She screamed at him.
“I did this for us, for you! So you could be happy and live a normal life!” He said quickly barely able to keep control of everything around and inside of him. “Dani, please. You love me, I know it! Even if you don’t!”
“I can never love you or anything like you. The pain and anguish and torment that you cause on everyone around you . . . . you cannot say you love me when you have lied to me, black mailed me, taken me and kept me away from the people I love. My real family.” She said angrily. “You violated my mind, you raped me, repeatedly!!! That is NOT love Sean!!” She yelled. Lunging forward she backhanded him with a hard blow knocking him to the ground. Never in their association had Adam or Sean ever know her to be so violent when she was in control and her feral side wasn’t. “Keeping me here, lying to me, using me!!!”
“But you’re safe here with me! I can give you everything! I can care for you, protect you! Far better than that thing ever could!” He pleaded motioning towards Adam.
Dani’s hand snatched him by the throat pulling him to his knees. His hands instantly reached up holding to her shoulders. “You’ve no idea what you’ve done to us. Keeping me here like this, making me forget her!” Her hand clinched down tighter around his throat, his blood beading around her nails in his torn flesh.
Sean’s eyes were rolling back in his head losing more control by the moment. Adam watched seeing the way her expression darkened. Finally becoming angry enough to strike back. “Please . . . I love . . .”
“DON’T SAY IT AGAIN!!!” She screamed. Dani leaned down close to his face starring into his eyes. “I’d rather be Adam’s hand maiden, then your enslaved ‘princess’. I love him completely. There’s no room left in my heart for a selfish deceitful liar like you.” She hissed through her teeth.
Sean’s eyes were turning white, his mental control slipping further and further as the pain from the physical world was blending with that of his dream world now.
“You’ve always wanted to feel it. TO know what it’s like.” She whispered into his ear. “Finally you get your wish.”
She jerked his head to the side and plunged her fangs deep into his flesh holding him still as she ripped into his shoulder muscle with her fangs. He screamed and cried gasping for air.
Dani bit harder and deeper the more she remembered, the more rage surfaced. All the pain, confusion, heartache he’d caused. The danger he’d put them in time and time again. She ripped deeper, tears filling her eyes when she heard the sounds of agony jump from deep inside of him.
Outside HelpEve looked at the young doctor, “Now. Shut it all off now!” The young woman switched off several panels before pulling the plugs off the life support system so they couldn’t be restarted even if they wanted to. Now his cries made their way into the real world. As horrid as the noises were, no one felt any sympathy for his suffering.
Adam watched clinching his jaw knowing Sean deserved this and much worse for what he’d done, he always knew this was hurting Dani. She gasped beginning for mercy which only angered her more and made her attack harder. Soon, his body began to convulsed, his heart began to slow to a dead stop. Dani withdrew her fangs, tears streaming from her eyes. She could have dropped him, but instead she gently lay him on the ground.
Sean’s eyes remained on her, the color quickly draining as his brain activity was quickly coming to a stop. She kneeled beside him watching as his life was leaving him. His handsome features dissolving into what they truly were now. He kept his eyes on her coughing and stuttering. She stayed silent but kept his gaze until finally the last spark of life left him completely. Dani’s lip quivered unable to look away from the pitiful creature. Within moments what was left of him dissolved into nothing but dust and then blew away in the breeze. Disappearing and leaving nothing behind.
Dani gasped, it felt like the world of pressure she’d been under had disappeared. Adam who had felt like he’d been trudging through molasses, was and instantly ran to Dani wrapping his arms around her as everything came rushing back at once. It was like trying to swim to the surface from the bottom of the ocean. The world that Sean had created around them was destabilizing and collapsing and would soon fall apart completely. It may have been in Dani’s mind as well but she simply wasn’t telepathically skilled or strong enough to maintain it. Out of their entire family she had had the least experience with it.
“Dani, we have to go. You have to wake up.” Adam said quickly. “Sweetheart you must wake yourself from this nightmare”
“How? How?” She gasped holding onto him tightened, “Adam . . . I can’t . . .”
“Yes you can. Remember before? When we first dream walked together? You woke then and you remembered.” He said quickly feeling himself pulling away. He was waking up quickly and wouldn’t be able to stay with her. She had to go before he did. “Dani, you’ve been asleep for weeks darling, it’s going to be difficult. But you have to. Dani please, you have to fight your way out of here.”
“It hurts Adam.” She whimpered, “It hurts so much.”
“I know, I know but your strong. You can do this.” He kissed her head embracing her tighter. “He’s gone. He’ll never hurt you again, my love. But you have to get out of here right now. Before this place collapses on you entirely and traps you.”
She grit her teeth trying desperately to remember how to wake herself up. It was as though it was the one memory that was lost. Adam’s arms clinched tighter around her trying to stay with her. “Is she alright Adam?” Dani whispered. “Our baby . . . is she okay?” Tears escaped her eyes sliding down her cheeks.
“She’s beautiful darling.” He whispered into her ear. “Perfect in every way.” Dani smiled and half laughed hugging him.
“I love you Adam. With all my heart. Forever.” She breathed.
Adam’s chest tightened not liking what this sounding like. It sounded like she was letting go and saying goodbye. “Dani. Listen to me.” He cupped her face in his hand still holding her close, “You are no hand maiden, no servant to me of any kind. You are my love, you are part of my heart, my soul. You are my friend. My lover. The mother of my child. You belong with me, we were meant to be together, you know that.” He kissed her gently before pulling her tighter into his arms. “Wake up. Dani, open your eyes, you have to wake up!” He pleased.
Within moments, the dream dissolved around him and slipped from his grasp. He sat straight up, “DANI!!” He shouted, to find. Eve and the young doctor standing beside him. He’d woken up unable to stay asleep.
Escapes“36 hungry vampires in an underground compound miles away from human blood accept you.” Eve said with a sigh as she and Adam packed her body with ice. The young woman took a breath before injecting herself with a solution meant to slow her heart and drop her vitals. “You’re sure this will work?”
“If it doesn’t . . . I’d rather not be awake for what will happy to me.” She said in a soft voice. Her eyes glanced over to what little was left of a once handsome and brilliant doctor. Adam had ripped his carcass from the tank and shoved it unceremoniously into the furnace. He wasn’t taking any chances of that bastard popping up again. “Did it work?” She asked, “Did you get your girl back?” Adam just clinched his jaw continuing to work.
For some reason they’d lost contact with Jeremy. Once Sean was disposed of systems all over the facility started to go on the blink and shut down. They had no idea if Dani woke up or not. Adam was anxious to get out and make contact. However they promised this girl her life and freedom in exchange for her help. She took the hint and didn’t press the matter. Her eyes started to close and within seconds fell unconscious.
They wrapped her in a foil blanket to keep her cold. “May of those upstairs have dispersed once they were freed of Sean’s influence. But there’s a few who are starving and gone feral.”
They’re hunting.” Adam said taking out his gun. Eve picked up the young woman holding her tight against her. “Ready?” Eve gave a nod. Adam opened the door letting her go first before following after ready to take down anything that come near them.
HomeAdam nearly kicked the door in when he, Jeremy and Eve returned to the house. He hurried down to the basement where Kaylee was pacing holding Johanna close. Adam’s heart sank when he saw Dani still laid out across the bed, her eyes closed. Hurrying over he ripped off his gloves kneeling down beside her cupping her face in his hands. “Dani. Dani my darling.” He said in a gentle tone when she didn’t respond, his eyes closed feeling a growing pain in his heart as he bowed his head. He didn’t get her out in time, he’d lost her.
“Every time I wake up, it’s a different bed.” Adam’s eyes went wide looking up when he heard Dani’s voice. Her eyes were tired, but she was awake. He leaned closer lavishing kisses on her lips and face. Before resting his forehead to hers once more.
“I’d thought I lost you.” He whispered against her lips kissing her again.
Jeremy and Eve came down the stairs seeing the reunion taking place feeling relief washing over them. Jeremy walked over to Kaylee beyond relieved to see she was safe.
She woke a little while ago, but her head is hurting and she’s exhausted. I’ve given her blood, but what she needs is sleep and rest.” She said softly. “She’s basically been in a coma for the past few weeks. It takes time to recover from such a trauma mentally.” Jeremy wrapped his arm around his fiancé kissing her cheek.
Eve moved to the other side of the bed sitting beside Dani taking her hand. “Hey there.” She said in a gentle tone.
Dani squeezed her hand, “Hey.” She whispered. Eve reached up sweeping her hair back from her eyes kissing her forehead.
“Welcome home sweetheart.” She whispered. Adam kissed Dani again reaching for her free hand and holding it against his chest.
