Author's Note

I didn't add one to the first chapter, but for now on I will have an Author's Note for my chapters. To let you all know, this is a RE-written version of the original I made, this one is just more detailed and easier to understand. Now where did we leave off again? Oh right. Carry on.

I knew that voice. I couldn't mistake it for anything else. I would never dream of mistaking it.

I turned my head slowly.

I gasped at the sight.

It was really him. Not his voice actor but it was really HIM. The murdering, back-stabbing, statue, Karl.

The hair was blond/yellow, his eyes seemed to have been drawn in. He had the bandana, the trench coat, the white, long sleeved shirt, brown pants, and brown boots. But he also had the gray spots where he had to repair himself, even the scar was there.

Well of coerce he was still going to have that scar.

Oh and he was animated, so there was no way that it could be Mr. Tea-And-Crumpets in a Karl cosplay.

I faced him directly. Then suddenly pinched myself.

"O...ow," I shook my arm a bit.

"Now why'd you do that~?" Karl asked me.

Even though he was grinning I could tell he was confused.

"I'm making sure that I'm not dreaming," I told him.

Great, now I'm talking to him. Well this is wonderful. Talking to a statue that has the choice of killing me anyway he wants to kill me. I might as well start my last praying wishes.

"Look if you're going to kill me," I started, "Let me pray first so that I die admitting things that I never will be able to admit."

He just looked at me.

Then he laughed saying, "I'm not going to kill you, Zorarka~"

Fudge... he knows my DeviantArt name. Isn't that just lovely?

"I just need some..." He paused for a minute, either trying to find the word or just not wanting to say it, "... help... I need help... You should know what it is~"

Gee I wonder what that is. I've read enough fanfictions on DA to know what he's talking about.

So I'm just going to act like a stupid person and just ask this, "And why me? Isn't there like... hundreds of different DA users that are fans of you?"

"Well you were closer," Karl told me, "I didn't want to use up my energy, and sense you were closer than anyone else I decided to make you help me."

Okay so first he kinda asked me to help, meaning I had a choice. Now he's making me help him, meaning I'm going to help even if I don't want to. Why would I want to help him anyway? He KILLS people.

….

Then again there's really nothing to do this summer.

Wait... what am I thinking? This is a talking statue that murders people and can kill me if I don't cooperate. Then he could just find the next closest person... oh gosh he'd go to Serene next would he?

Anyway he needs energy, meaning he and Arma can't kill anyone without risking anything.

Wait.

Where is Arma?

"Also," Karl said, "Arma isn't with me at the moment, when we got here we were separated."

…..

That still doesn't mean he can't kill me. He will find ways, I'm sure he will.

Now I'm going to be an annoying little brat and ask him things for no reason.

"You know, I have a friend who doesn't live that far away from me," I told him, "So why didn't you go to her?"

"You mean Nightmaresdreaming~?" He asked, "Well yes I could have gone to her, but there's one problem. She's not the one who's going to be alone this summer."

Oooooohh.

"I see what you did there," I said.

I guess Karl is smarter than I thought. He doesn't want to be seen by the people here, he must know something like if he's seen some people would take him in for experiments... where he could lose all his energy and die. For some reason that kinda made me want to help him more than I didn't want to.

He started walking near me.

"You know what~?" Karl asked, "You look a lot like that little icon person of yours~ The Curly, poofy, brown hair. The dark brown eyes... but the only things missing are the pink sweater, and the wolf ears and tail~"

He put his hand through my hair. I flinched at this. He was either looking for ears or he was just pointing out where they would be.

"Too bad you don't have those, I would have actually been surprised~" He said as he backed away a bit and sighed, " But hey, I guess in this world something like that is impossible."

Wait.. if that's impossible then how is a cartoon statue that randomly appeared here possible? I may never know... unless I ask him.

"So where were you going~?" Karl asked, "All this week I saw you take the busy root way home. In fact I wasn't planing on showing myself till you got home. But then when I saw you go this way I was a bit confused. Going to see a friend~?"

….

He's the reason why I felt like I was being watched is he? That would make sense, cause how else could he know where I live and how I get there? And also how could he know that I was going to be alone for three months? If he was just any guy I would yell out "stalker" and throw that dead squirrel at him.

Speaking of that squirrel.

"So what did you do to the squirrel?" I asked, ignoring his question.

"Oh the rodent?" He looked at it, "Oh I was just passing by it, it seemed to freak out at the sight of me."

So I was right. It died of shock. Or a heart attack... or is that the same as..? nevermind.

"Now back to my question~" Karl said.

Sh#t.

I was hoping that he forgot about that.

"No I was just taking the long root to the main tree," I told him

Karl looked at me, confused.

I sighed, "I'm taking the long way home."

"Oh okay," Karl said, "Why didn't you say so earlier~?"

Que the facepalm.

For a statue he really needs to hang around teenagers more often.

Wait...

Nope nevermind, he doesn't need that type of torture. And MOST of the teenagers I know are Twilight lovers and he REALLY doesn't need that torture either.

Gah why does the books and the movies even exist? It's like watching your best friend die. To me it's that horrible.

"Let's just get to your house know okay~?" Karl said.

I stood there for a minute, deciding on my answer.

Then without warning he grabbed me, put me on one of his shoulders, and started running.

"WTF!?" I yelled.

"You were taking to long~" He said, " So I'm just going to assume that it's an 'okay'~"

I sighed as he chuckled.

Though now I can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something.

Well I guess I'll figure that out later.

And that's the end of that chapter. If I've made any mistakes in anything please tell me in the reviews.
I accept good and bad reviews. I don't really care about what kind I get.
