29.
He doesn't look behind him as he guides me through the darkness like he thinks I have nowhere to run. Which is partially true. The only light is protruding from his weird torch thingy. I study his golden blonde hair as he hums a creepy yet giddy tune. Which is so unlike himself. I begin to doubt him being Dr. Death but his tone is as before.
"What happened?"
He stops abruptly. "Happened with what?"
"I dunno. Just the fact that you're walking like you got a raise or somethin. Then your humming which is more or less Winter's thing. Yet you still retain this air about that says 'Imma kill you in a sec but maybe later when I feel like it'"
He turns to look at me and his incredibly sad eyes stun me causing me to jerk my head back and blink my eyes profusely.
"I don't think I'd been in the same breathing space as you for this long."
That is the last thing I expected him to say but I hide my astonishment. He look sat me like I have the cure for cancer and the elixir of life. He breaks the silence before I do.
"You've excelled Cleo. Have you noticed? Your brain is curing faster than I have previously thought."
"Whoa, whoa! Wait a sec. What are you talking about? Curing from what?"
He smiles sadly which complete his sad eyes. Like the pieces to my heart.
"What? Whoa, wait. What?" He's gotta stop these unpredictable responses.
I look at him and realize he spoke inside of my thoughts.
Like the pieces to my heart
She completes me,
Like the song that plays over and over in my head
She compels me,
How can this piece of heaven be mine
She's wiped all remembrance of me
My eyes must be full circles my now.
".........," is all I could say. The situation is so awkward you could literally hear the trail of periods.
I look at his multi-colored eyes still trying to figure out which one to focus on. He keeps my gaze.
"I don't even know how to respond to that." Which is probably the most honest thing I've ever said in my life.
"You don't have to," he whispers. He turns around and continues on like nothing happened. His cloak trails behind him like graceful yet scary wings.
I sigh in confusion hoping to find the meaning of all of this. I wish someone would just knock me out.
"Just wake me up when all this confusion is over," I whisper to myself.
