A Vampire's Touch

Chapter 18 ~•Insanity•~

I keep waking up during the night. And when I would wake up I would think of Ethan, then slowly go back to sleep.

I wake up again for the millionth time. Some servant walks in, and she immediately reminds me of Amelia (old servant that died).

"Sorry Grace, Sir William just wanted me to check up on you," she says quietly.

"Well tell him to go kill himself."

"Sorry I can't say that to him."

"Whatever," I mumble.

I sit up thinking that I'll be in pain but I don't feel anything. I feel perfectly fine!

"Sir William threw me across the floor, I should've broken my back, and have a bump on my head," I say shockingly.

"Cameron came in here and used his healing power to fix you up."

So Cameron has healing powers, and Ethan has the power to take away memories. Weird! Just the thought of Ethan made my heart shatter.

The servant puts down a tray of food at my bedside table, and leaves the room. I stare at the food and grab the tray. I throw the tray of food across the room and the tray smacks the wall with a bang. The food is splattered all over the wall and floor.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten close with Ethan. I knew that eventually I was gonna fall in love, and then feel miserable because he's gone. Why did I have to fall in love with him? Why?

I shove my face in my pillow and I start to cry. I have never cried like this before, except for when my family were killed.

I hear I knock on the door. I don't say anything. I hear another knock.

"Leave me alone!" My words are muffled by the pillow.

The door opens and I lift my head up. I see Jess walking in, holding a white dress.

"Hey Grace," she says.

"I said to leave me alone!" I reply and wipe my tears.

Jess comes and sits down on the bed. She looks so depressed, sad and weak.

"I'm sorry about Ethan, I'm upset too," she says quietly.

I sit up and look down at the red covers. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Neither do I, but I'm still gonna say something," she says with tears in her eyes. "He was a good kid. He never wanted to do all the evil stuff dad does. He was just like mom, kind and warm hearted. He really loved you Grace, I could tell by the way he looked at you. He would always have this smile when you were around. I know you love him too."

At that point I started crying again. "Thanks Jess."

"Before we do anything, I think I owe it to you to show you something," Jess says while wiping her tears.

Jess gets up and looks at me, waiting for me to get up. I don't want to get up but what else do I do?

"Fine," I sigh.

We walk out my room and I follow Jess. I quickly wipe my tears as the guards stare at me. I'm wearing my night clothes, a blue tank top and short pajama pants.

We get to a door and she opens it. We walk into the dark room and she closes the door. She turns on the light and I look ahead of me.

There lying down in a coffin, the top open, wearing a fancy tuxedo lay Ethan. His face is paper white, his lips the same color but has a touch of pink. His eyes are closed and his hands are folded on top of each other.
