---------------------------------------------

Light pierced my eyes in the early morning light, birds chirped and a light breeze filled the air. I got little sleep last night and I needed to see Kat as soon as possible. I had too many things on my mind I needed to blow off steam, but if I killed someone or something those stupid feelings and memories back. I needed to know what was going on with my head. It's bad when you have to talk to someone else about your own mind. After a few moments of self evaluation I decided to get up and take a walk. The air was cool and calm. It was almost like sticking your nose in a refrigerator only your entire body felt the effect.

I began to walk even further into the forest away from town. The forest got a bit darker and a small creek came into view. I found a dry spot on the bank and sat down, it seemed to bring a peace I hadn't felt in a long time. I just sat there and waited for anything, but nothing came. I was drifting to sleep, but I didn't fight against it, the calmness just took me, and I lost myself staring off into the distance.

A cool breeze against my face woke me up and I felt a cold chill run up my spine. I found it very uncomfortable so I stood up and my eyes adjusted to their dark surroundings. The wind began to pick up and it only made it more miserable for me as I made my way towards town. My teeth chattered as my feet finally met concrete. I didn't run, it would only waste my energy and make me more miserable. After about 15 minutes of freezing my ass off I finally arrived. I knocked on the door but nothing happened so I waited a few minuets, still nothing. So I turned the knob and of corse the door was unlocked.

I walked through the entryway, but I didn't make a sound. I walked to the living room and as soon as I sat down, Kat came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and almost screamed when she saw me. She quickly walked up the stairs without saying a word and I felt myself begin to blush. I've never been so embarrassed in my ducking life until now. Of corse I had to walk in I'm such a dumb fuck. I thought to myself before I heard the stairs creak as Kat came down, wearing a T-shirt and ripped jeans.

"You are really bad at timing you know." She said rolling her eyes and laughing. I gave a slight smile but looked down.

"Yeah, but so does everyone of my victims." I say with a sneed smile on my face. Kat only rolled her eyes then sat next to me. I took my arm and wrapped it around her waist.

" Kat.... I have a question..." I said shifting my eyes up from the ground to look at her.

"Yeah?" She said looking into my eyes.

"So I've had these thoughts in my head and these emotions, but i don't know what they are or mean......I can't think about anything else.... I'm.... I'm just stuck." I said putting my hands against my face. Kat sat there and thought for a few minuets before looking over at me.

"Jeff are we like.... A thing.... Like are we a couple?" She asked before answering my question. I didn't know what to say. I never thought about her being my girlfriend, but it seemed like a good idea since I knew I wasn't going to leave here any time soon. 

"Yeah, I think so." I said quietly back. But a doubt kept bugging me in the back of my head and it wouldn't leave me alone. A slight smile ran over Kat's lips.

"So back to your question... It's love that you are feeling Jeff." 

Love?  I thought as I looked down at the ground. It made sense in my head that this was the problem to my head. Something was missing though. I just couldn't put it together yet.

"So love...how will I know when it's true?"

"You'll feel it in your heart." Kat said with a smile and I couldn't help but smile back. After that I pulled her close and kissed her. I've never felt anything like this before but as touching as it was there was a hint of darkness to it. The clouds will roll in soon, my demons will attack, the dog will bite, can I stop it this time, or watch it consume me again? I had to protect Kat though, I had to. I let Lou and my family down I couldn't do the same to Kat. I couldn't let her meet the same fate they did.

"Jeff can you stay with me tonight?" She asked leaning closer to me. I smiled but a question swarmed my head.

"Sure, but Kat where are your parents?" I asked slowly. She looked down and her face carried pure sadness over it.

"They work at some big businesses and they are out of town months at a time and I barley see them. The loneliness kills me sometimes and I'd just like to be dead for a day just to see if the would even care to come back. I hate them." She said breaking down into tears and crying into my chest. I felt bad for her because I know what loneliness feels like and it does hurt. I pulled back a moment to kiss her a moment then I held her close.

"That's why you wanted to die, isn't it?" I asked looking down at her. She nodded not saying a word and I saw the exhaustion on her face. I picked her up again and carried her up to her room. I laid her on the bed gently and I laid down beside her. I held her close and tight and the tears stopped flowing. I kissed her a few more times before she fell asleep. "Go to sleep my love." I whispered in her ear as she drifted away.

I laid beside her and something ironic struck me. That was the first time in a very long time that I ever said 'go to sleep' and it wasn't used on a victim. I was so happy I spared her she deserved life more than I and I was so close to taking it from her. My demons were coming close to consuming me but my eyes drifted to sleep and my mind shut down. I was soon asleep and for the first time in a long time I was in a bed. I was happy to be here next to her.
