Haunted

Chapter IIII "Lies and a favor"

Chapter 4 "Lies and a Favor"

"What do you want?"

"I know you aren't human. So..."

"So..." I prompted.

"So what the hell are you?"

I looked at him stunned because of the question. I didn't expect him to figure that out so soon, I mean he shouldn't be able to.

"I don't know what you talking about. Of course I am human, what else?" I said playing dumb.

"You're a tough little thing, aren't you?"

"Just put me down" I said sighing and shaking my head.

"You did not answer my question"

"Yes I actually did"

"You lied"

"No I didn't"

"You did"

"No I did not. And if I said I wasn't human what would you have done about it?" I said challenging him.

"Well... the consul says that we shall report this stuff, but I don't see why. So I would probably do as always and just ignore them, it's fun 'cause it kind of bugs them"

"Not even if it hypothetically, there where a price on my head?"

"Who cares, they would likely not pay it any way" he said.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"I am..."

"You are?"

"I'm totally human, nothing magical"

"I don't believe you"

"You don't need to" I said as we starred angrily at each other for a moment before he finally dropped his gaze. I saw him looking at the narrow crescent moon in the the black night sky.

"It's beautiful" he said, was it just me or did he sound surprised by the thought. Anyway I didn't answer him as I were to stunned by the way he looked in the moonlight, and why souldn't I all Night people looked hot in some way or another.

"I guess" I replied. He turned his head my way.

"I meant the view not me face thought I'm flattered you think so."

"Don't flattere your self it doesn't suit you"

"OK little kitty cat." he said and dropped me on the ground.

"Hey!"

"Well don't blame me you wanted me to put you down"

"I thought it was obvious that I meant on my feet's. I did not expect that you to just droop me on the ground. It hurt"

"Yeah yeah" he replied and stretches out his hand towards me. I don't take it, that makes him look sad. Thought I don't really care for one of them I can still feel a little bit of guilt.

"Can you do me a favor?" I shocked my self by saying so. He became instantly on his guard.

"That depends on what it is"

"Could you help me getting through my window, please?" I said with a pleading tone.

"Sure, if.." he trailed off.

"If?"

"If you do one tinny thing for me"

"Spit it out"

"No I'll think I'll wait and drop it later"

"Fine just help me"

"OK" Phillipe answered and ones again picked me up. He jumped up in the tree and sat me down on the windowsill. Then he looked at me for a moment before he said "Goodnight kitty cat" and then he disappeared into the night.  

I sat there for a while looking after him, this was the first meeting with one of them that hadn't been a pure nightmare. I didn't know if that was either a god or a bad thing. But what did it matter he was one of the Night people. As long as he kept his mouth shut I wouldn't try to kill him.
