hair glistened as
moonbeams hit it and his eyes were suddenly bright and happy. “I’m
no longer a victim; I don’t need your tears!” He took a lighter and
brought it to the flowers. “Burn, baby, burn. Good-bye Louis, you
pathetic, weak child.”
It was at that exact second that I
realized the one person Ivan despised more than anyone else in the
world wasn’t really Lucus, it was Louis.
Ivan grabbed my hand and pulled me up
from the ground. He placed his arms around me and my body started
to move unwillingly. Underneath the shining moon, he gave me a
deliberate and fierce kiss. I could taste his anger seep into my
blood and burn me from the inside out. An unwelcome darkness
consumed me, and strangely, I surrendered to it. He spun me around
while smoke from the burning flowers surrounded us. The ground once
again turned a brilliant shade of red and tinted my feet. We
danced, as Ivan continued to laugh and Sabrina continued to
wail.
Boxes, baby, boxes. He put me in that
box.

After Sabrina had finally stopped
crying and Ivan had let go of me, the four of us walked back to
Darkwood house in utter silence. Covered in mud, sweat and blood,
the only thing I could think of was taking a spiritual bath and
sticking Sabrina into one, too.
I tried to push Papa Ghede’s ominous
warning out of my thoughts, but couldn’t. What had he meant by give
her peace?
Sabrina didn’t look like she was in
need of any peace. In fact, she was enjoying the whole thing
immensely, especially the attention she was getting from Lucus. Her
tears had been replaced by a large smile as she wrapped Lucus’
jacket around her and looked up at him like he was her knight in
shining armor. I wasn’t bitter or anything that Lucus was letting
her cling to him. Being jealous at a time like this was vastly
childish and petty, but still I was only human.
I was thrilled that she was okay, but a
little disappointed that we hadn’t exchanged a word yet. I wanted
to know what had possessed her to run off to the cemetery and who
or what had buried her. It totally freaked me out that a few
minutes ago she had been virtually inconsolable and now she was
fine. In typical Sabrina style, had she blocked out what had
happened?
Lucus glanced over at me and gave me a
small, reassuring smile. I wanted him to wrap his arms around me
and hold me, but after what had occurred, I didn’t want any more
drama. Tonight, I had to come clean and confess how I felt about
Lucus to Sabrina. If the words came out.
Ivan was quiet for the time being, and
I couldn’t hear his annoying voice in my head. I shot him an evil
glance, but despite my utter disgust with him, I hoped he was okay.
I wondered what role he had played in tonight’s chaos and how he
was messing with me. I wanted to scream and yell, but every time I
tried, I was a mute.
What were his plans for me? And how
could I stop him? I was completely confused by my feelings towards
him. One moment I was filled with complete abhorrence, and the
next, blinding pity. Maybe I was as twisted as he was and deep
within I knew that I didn’t really belong here. But then where did
I belong?
Queen, I’ll say it again, get the hell
out of here and we’ll never have to see each other again. Unless
you like my kisses and wanna stick around for a few
more.
I tried to block out his voice. Ivan
messing with my head was bad enough, but for some reason he
insisted on randomly making out with me as well. Obviously, he was
still angry over the fact that Lucus had stolen the love of his
life and wasn’t consciously aware of the fact. I was a stupid
little pawn in his game.
Yes you are.
Back at the house, the party had long
stopped and a haunting silence had replaced the energetic music
that had filled the air a mere hour or so ago. Romantic moonlight
had been swapped for dark clouds, and I could smell the power of a
storm brewing in the sultry night air. In the distance, I could
moonbeams hit it and his eyes were suddenly bright and happy. “I’m
no longer a victim; I don’t need your tears!” He took a lighter and
brought it to the flowers. “Burn, baby, burn. Good-bye Louis, you
