...I had hoped it would have all been over the moment he was convicted. I had hoped I would finally be free of that terrible curse he held over me. I had hoped everything would be good again...but I was wrong. He still continued to haunt me in my dreams...that man, Kristoph Gavin...the devil...
True, when the trial was over, a heavy weight in my heart had been lifted. I could finally smile again and feel safe. Of course, just a few days after that, something horrible happened...Kristoph began to appear in my dreams. When I slept, he would appear to me and say all these things...things that didn't make any sense...
He touched me...he bit me in various places...he told me he loved me. It was all too much to handle...so I woke up. But then I would start crying...start begging for him to just leave me alone once and for all. I had trusted him long ago...and he had just been using me. It hurt so much inside...
It wasn't until after a week of these disturbing dreams that I finally decided to visit Kristoph Gavin in prison. He had been given the sentence to be put to death, which was to be carried out at the end of the month. Since that was only a few days from now, I knew it was the only time I could see him and talk to him one last time.
At most, I wanted to know why he was so interested in me and my abilities for so long...if I had that knowledge, I might finally be able to sleep peacefully at night. However, the answer he gave me sent chills up my spine and a scream to swell up inside me...
"Isn't it obvious, Vera? I...love you."
"...What do you mean?"
"Did you not hear me? I said that I loved you...this is my answer."
"You're lying...you're lying..."
I wanted it to all be a lie. I wanted this to just be another horrible dream. But...it wasn't. Tears poured down my cheeks and I started screaming at him, but his face remained as emotionless as ever. I couldn't take it anymore...so I turned around and ran off when my voice finally gave out.
Once I got back to Drew Studios, my father's workplace, I just collapsed onto the floor and cried. All I could do was cry...cry over the only man who ever said he 'loved' me...
