Excerpt:
“I should go,” he said.
“Why?” I asked. “No one’s even awake.”
“You are,” he said. “And… you should stay away.
This is a bad idea.” The worry in his face lit up in the moonlight.
“Don’t be afraid of me,” I said.
“Not of
you,” he said, shaking his head, “for
you.” And then he backed away.
“Don’t run,” I begged. My mind raced, wondering
if somehow he knew about the pull to heal and how dangerous it could be for me
to give in to it. “I won’t do anything, I promise.”
“What do you mean?” he asked, looking confused.
I caught myself. “What did you mean — when you said you were afraid for me?”
He looked away. “I’m not someone you should be
around.”
“Yeah, you are,” I said softly, wondering if he
was really other than what he seemed, and then wondering, too, if he might be a
sign of a psychotic break, a figment of my imagination.
“I’m evil,” he said, “like prince of darkness
kind of stuff. You should stay away. And… I shouldn’t be here.” He stood to go.
I shivered. “I don’t understand,” I said,
moving closer to him even though it made my whole body hurt. “Why shouldn’t you
be here? How could you be evil?” My mind started imagining all sorts of
horrible things he might have done. I knew nothing about him. He could be the
axe murderer for all I knew.
“I never should’ve talked to you,” he said.
“You’re not making any sense,” I said. “Won’t
you come back and hang out again?”
“Just… forget you ever met me,” he replied. And
then he loped off through the woods.
