"Invite me in."
The voice that haunted Elyssa's dreams compelled her
to move, and the breath stalled in her lungs when she opened the door.
"You can't be… you're—"
"I am and I'm here. I told you I would find a
way back to you, baby."
Jason's smile lit up his face, and his beloved
features blurred through her tears.
"You have to invite me in, baby."
Instinctively her fingers reached out to touch him,
to trace the tattoo he hadn't had before and her skin warmed under the heated
intensity of his gaze. The tenseness in his shoulders stopped her, and she took
a step back into the relative safety of her hallway.
"Invite me—"
"In, I know." Elyssa stepped back further
and shook her head and this version of Jason snarled. He punched the doorframe
with enough force to rattle the foundations and that shiver of unease trailing
up her spine engulfed her in an ice cold fist.
"You're not him. He wouldn't need an
invitation."
The creature on her doorstep burst into flames and
his putrid, hot breath singed her hair, even as Jason's familiar scent
enveloped her.
"That's my girl. I'm here. It's okay."
