I stop suddenly; panic is written all over my face, my breathing is heavy. Klaus looks up at me smiling, I'm not sure if he was the one who was to blame for whatever that monster was in that house with me. On the other hand, I don't want to confirm anything that went on in there, until I try to figure out what in the hell is going on. I try to calm myself down, but Klaus being who he is, can sense my uneasiness.
He looks at me curiously, "What's wrong my love? You seem a bit choked up."
I stride past him, giving off the impression that I have no interest in seeing his presence. Although a part of me is relieved that I'm not alone anymore, and that the monster is gone. He slowly follows behind me, I can feel him watching me intently.
I sit down on a set of stairs leading down a hill that are made from different sized rocks, I look off into the distance losing myself in thought. It occurs to me that I haven't yet really asked myself why Klaus keeps popping up, and hasn't yet given a reason as to why, except that he wants to "help me" although, everyone knows Klaus never helps anyone if it doesn't somehow come back to something that he wants to obtain in the process.
My thoughts are interuppted by rain hitting my skin, I look up at the sky noticing huge storm clouds rolling in, I notice that Klaus has now come and joined me on the steps waiting for me to snap back into reality.
"We should get out of the rain come, follow me." he says.
I stand up, pausing for a moment. "Why are you doing this, Klaus? What do you want from me?"
He smiles and takes a step towards me, "Must I have a reason for wanting to be your friend?"
I look at him watching his facial expressions, I let out a sigh. "Right, I'm supposed to go along with that and believe it?"
"Why not? You don't really have any other options at this point now do you?" He asks.
He's got a point, I don't really have a choice. I could leave now, and go back to the new house, try and forget everything: The monster that I encountered in that torn down house, and the monster within myself that screams for me to do what I desperately don't want to do, yet on occasion I'd love nothing more than to do.
I take a deep breath, and walk along with Klaus through the torrential downpour.
I've made my decision.....
There's no going back now.
