For him, she was just a trespasser in the wrong place,
For her, he was her escape.
At first she was scared at the man's threats, but then she saw something unusual in his eyes. Could that be fright? Did he want to kill her or was he too afraid? She inched closer to him and saw the confusion in his eyes.
Does this girl want to die? She's so young… Clopin thought. He could not kill this girl even if he wanted to.
"What are you doing here?" he asked her kindly.
"Have you ever killed anyone?" the girl replied with a suspicious look towards him.
Clopin wagged his finger "That's not important." "But you just said you wanted to kill me."
Clopin smiled sweetly at her. "I changed my mind. What's your name?"
"I'm Lilo." She said and smiled back at him. "…Lilo…" Clopin repeated.
