" you laid Klaus's body on the bed ... didn't you ?? " asked Roy confused

" yea , I covered him too , " replied Ed , " why wha... "

Ed's question was interrupted by a shocking scene , Klaus's corpse was sitting strait on a chair near the bed with his hands rested on his thighs , but one of them had a dagger in it ,

" uh , .. Klaus ? " called Roy with a raise in his voice

"yea ?? " said Klaus through the phone

"are you ... awake now ? "

"well if I was I wouldn't be talking to you through the phone ! ! you idiot! "

"well , that's a bit strange , because your dead body got up , picked up a pocket knife and now it's sitting on a chair "

"that's impossible , someone must have moved it ! "

" the windows are shut , the door was locked and the cop was tied up ! "

"hmm , strange ... "

Roy got cautiously closer to the corpse , Ed tried to stop him but couldn't , he then slowly followed him .

Roy picked up a T-square ruler near the bed and poked the corpse fearfully from a distance , nothing happened ... he poked it again and it only leaned it's shoulder on the closet beside the chair ,

That gave Roy the courage to get even closer to it , then Ed hesitatingly followed , Roy can't seem to ignore the fact that the injuries that Klaus had when he fell down the building were all ... healed !

" Klaus? ... all your broken ribs are back in place ! " said Roy in quite a shock while touching them with his fingers , " even your opened skull is almost healed now! "

" wow , that's great , I guess "

" that's unbelievable ! " whispered Ed , stunned

They both were focusing on the body from up close , gazing and examining everything that seemed weird for a normal dead body , starting from the heat that was coming out of his body specially his hands , and the quite of grip he had on the pocket knife that they couldn't easily snatch , the pinkish flesh and lips , and ending with the finger nails that grew longer ,

" it seems like ... if you are just a sleep ! " repeated Ed astounded ,

They lifted their heads and eyes up afterwards to be shocked that the corpse was actually.. smiling !!

They both startled and Ed gasped

"wow ! " said Ed a moment after with a grin to hide his fear , but then , the corpse suddenly opened its eyes wide at once !!

So wide that they seemed to stick out a little bit , Ed lets out a loud girlish scream while Roy closed his ears , then he fell back on the bed and crawled back until he fell from the other side ,

" dude ! what the hell !!! " shouted Roy while looking back at Ed , unaware that the body got up its feet just behind him , Ed pointed at it wordless , "wh..?" Roy looks behind him then screams as well, he took a few steps behind , " Klaus ! your corpse is walking towards me ! " he shouted nervously through the phone , " is that normal ?!! " he asked

" .... Oh I remembered... sometimes I sleep walk.. "

"sleep walk !! " screamed Roy , while looking at the wide opened eyes of the corpse and its crooked smile while it staggered freakishly from side to side approaching Roy

" what am I doing now ?? " asked Klaus

" uh, you're raising the knife in the air , WHAT THE ! .... If you swing it on me one more time I swear to god I will ....
