She flipped back up to her feet quickly. Being part transgenic had its perks, even in the dream world. The lightning lit up the sky again and flashed another shadow across Damon's face. "It's you," Lucy said, the pieces snapping back together again. "She's you now." Why hadn't she realized it before? It hadn't been Damon being a vampire that had set her on edge. No, she had grown up around vampires. But the dreamwalker was becoming part of Damon.
His eyes flashed in the dark and this time there was no lightning. Lucy didn't hesitate, the minute Damon got to his feet she rushed him with the katana. The sharp blade sliced cleanly through his midsection. His eyes widened as he looked at her not expecting the turn of events.
"Sometimes sacrifices have to be made," she explained to him as his hands flailed to the wound. His face vanished for a brief second, flickering to the redhead's face and then back to Damon's again. This time his face was filled with genuine anguish. The part of him that was still actually Damon.
A terrible wind began to howl and Lucy hunched down in her shirt, as rain and dirt kicked up against her. "I'm sorry!" she shouted at Damon. A tornado was coming and she burst into a run, heading towards the shed.
