It wouldnt let me post it all in one piece please read both parts this on is second
Cont.----
I point the body lying on the ground next to us. “He killed you, and I killed him. We have to go before the police find him and us, even if it won’t be for hours. We have to get you cleaned up and you need to lie down and decompress. I think you need to lie down and let your body adjust.”
She stares at my kill and just nods her head. I grab her by the arm and help her up. Before I can lead her away she stops me. “Its all mixed up and fuzzy.”
“What is?”
“My head, it-its all mixed up, with thoughts and things. I don’t think they are all mine. Its fuzzy too, like I am in a fog.” She looks at me desperately for answers.
My heart speeds up, because what she said sounds familiar. I remember feeling all that, twelve years ago. I take a deep breath and force a smile. “Don’t worry, it will clear up eventually.”
I lead her back through the streets to my hotel room. Sometimes she stumbles but I quickly right her. She doesn’t say another word on the way, just lets me pull her along blindly through the streets. She doesn’t even raise an eyebrow when I open the door.
I usher her straight to the bathroom to clean her up. I try to hide my blush as I help her undress, throwing the blood caked clothing in the corner so I can throw them away latter. First I examine the wound on her chest and right away I can tell its already healing itself. She will be whole again in a matter weeks maybe even days.
I fill the tub next with warm water and bring her over to the tub. Since she is still in shock I bath her. To distract my wondering mind I memorize her physical characteristics. Her hair is a shoulder length and a light auburn-y brown, her eyes a deep shade of blue, she looks young too, my age maybe. She continues to stare in to space even as the water turns read. When I am done cleaning the dried blood off her I help her out and bandage her wound. When I turn to go get her something to sleep in she finally speaks.
“Are you death?” she sounds like a lost child.
I turn and smile at her. “Not in the way you are thinking.”
“Am I really here, alive? Is this real?”
“Yeah, yeah its real. You are here. Don’t worry, you’re safe.”
“I have to go home.” She stood up and made to leave. I quickly grab her before she can get far.
“No. It isn’t good for you to be alone right now. Besides you’re naked and your clothes are covered in blood.” I push her wet hair out of her eyes and stare into them, hating the fear and denial I see there. “Look, stare here tonight. Its dry and warm and I can make sure you’re ok. In the morning we can talk and figure things out. Is that ok?”
She looks surprised and just nods her agreement. I quickly fish out an old shirt that doesn’t fit me and help get it on. It was a better fit on her than me, but not enough for me to worry about it being too tight to sleep in. I lead her over to the bed so she can lay down. She just stands there and stares at it.
“Where will you sleep?”
“I don’t know, next to you or the floor.” She still doesn’t move to lay down.
“I-I don’t think I can sleep, not after… all this.”
I go fill a glass with water and shake out three pills from my bottle. I return to her side and hand both over. “Here, a dose and a half of sleeping pills. It should put you to sleep and keep the dreams away. Trust me, you wanna sleep tonight. It will help you clear your mind.”
She quickly takes the pills and lies down. It doesn’t take her long to drift off, and finally I am able to collect my thoughts. I just saw another girl die and come to life again. I cleaned and bandaged what should have been a fatal wound, and now a strange girl was sleeping in my bed. It took me a minute to realize two things once I let these thoughts play out. One I wasn’t alone anymore, I shared something with her. The second was must surprising. This girl who was sparkly blue when I first saw her wasn’t anymore, she wasn’t any color at all. I looked at her lying asleep and saw just the girl, nothing adding to the image, the first time I had seen just a person for years.
