Chapter 4 Unwanted Notice
Grace woke up and saw Shadow starring down at her. He was on the ceiling and was hanging extremely close to the bed. Grace screamed and rolled off the bed.
“Ouch! What did you do that for!? How rude!”
Shadow groaned and lunged from the ceiling landing lightly on the floor. He walked over and helped Grace up. Then he flicked her in the forehead.
“I was listening that’s all. You still talk in your sleep. You always do. You said ‘Shadow’….”
Grace blushed and stepped away from Shadow. “May I just have some breakfast please?”
Shadow smirked and walked to the kitchen. He started banging pans around preparing food. He flicked on a small silver TV to the news.
In the other room Grace bit her lip and put her hair in a pony tail. And pulled on a robe. “Stupid Shadow. He shouldn’t listen to me like that!”
Shadow poked his head into the room and Grace jumped to attention. Shadow rolled his eyes. “Breakfast is ready Grace. Common and eat already so I can go.”
Grace grumbled and walked into the marble covered kitchen and sat on a white chair eating slowly. “Your going out again?”
Shadow nodded and looked back over at the TV. “I’m still thirsty...”
Grace jumped up knocking her orange juice over. “Shadow you can’t go to the club and hunt anymore! You’ll ruin us just like in China!”
Shadow glared at Grace and wiped up the juice. He then slammed the rag on the table with a bang then stalked out of the room. “I could just drink your blood like you were mumbling in your sleep you little brat.”
Grace turned bright red as she blushed deeply. “I didn’t say that! Your lying!”
Shadow poked his head in again. “You can bite me Shadow. Just please wake up. Please! Please!” Shadow imitated Grace in a mocking way then ducked out of the kitchen again then slammed the front door behind him.
Grace slammed her head on the table. “Why must he always do that?!”
Grace finally got up and turned the volume up on the TV. The News was on and it was a basic repeat of last night. Grace gasped when she saw a further report of the cab driver incident but relaxed when it was just a short memorial thing.
Grace flicked the TV off and left the kitchen without bothering to clean up. Grace jumped onto the bed landing flat on her back. She reached her arm out and closed her eyes to concentrate. Her bag floated out from under the bed and landed lightly beside her.
Grace dug through her stuff then smiled when she found what she was looking for. It was a small black teddy bear with red/brown eyes. The bear had an evil appearance to it and was obviously not an average bear.
“Oh my Teddy… Shadow hates me I know it….” Grace hugged the bear to her chest and a single tear fell from her cheek.
Tears began to spill uncontrollably from her eyes and she lay crumpled on her bed. She began to shake with the force of her crying. That’s when the bear began to twitch. Its eyes gleamed their red color and the stitches around its mouth came loose creating an open mouth.
“Don’t cry mistress. Your life together has not ended. Your pain is a creation of your own imagination and Shadow’s blindness.” The bear spoke in a low demonic voice. The voice just added to the eerie feeling of the bear.”
Grace sat up and wiped away her tears. “Thank you Teddy but Shadow isn’t that simple. Not only does he not love me but laws of my father’s kingdom state that a guardian and the guarded can never be one.”
The teddy bear sat down in front of Grace and looked at her. His eyes were oddly thoughtful. “You need to relax mistress. Your life is long and your love is everlasting. Give the other blood sucker time.”
When grace smiled the bear became lifeless yet again and the stitches around his mouth began to stitch the mouth back together again. Grace sighed as the bear fell backwards dead. “Happiness makes you dormant. Pain is what makes you awaken… Poor Teddy only knows bad things.”
