Chapter 3

Klaus's grip on Megan eased, giving her space to breath. His face was full of uncertainty. "Where is the nearest restaurant?" Megan was baffled, she pointed to the bar. Klaus turned away from her and walked back over to the pile of dead bodies. He didn't look at Megan. " Meet me there, tomorrow at 8".
Without asking, Megan made her way home. Quickly. She went from walking to running. She wasn't afraid of what Klaus would do to her tonight. She was afraid of what he was going to do to her tomorrow. What he was going to say to her. Megan knew she had to go, he'd do much worse to her if she didn't turn up. He'd find her.

How do you decide what to wear when you are having dinner with a monster?, Megan thought. Strangely, Megan wanted to make a good impression. Opposite to the impression he had given her. She chose a black dress. A very short black dress. Megan has never been to church, she doesn't really believe in God but she prayed before leaving the safety of her house. Klaus was already in the bar when Megan walked in. She spotted him straight away, a face like his could not blend in with the crowd. Klaus stood up when Megan approached the booth. He looked her up and down and smiled. Not the devious smile Megan was expecting. His smile was full of joy. He summoned Megan to sit down, he sat opposite her. Neither of them spoke, Megan didn't want to Speak first but she had a feeling Klaus wasn't going to make the first move. " Are we just going to sit here starring at each other? Or are you going to tell me what the hell has happened?" Klaus just laughed at her. As is she had said something absolutely hilarious. Megan jolted back, completed shocked by Klaus's reaction. " Well, my darling Megan, The name my father gave is Niklaus but you may call me Klaus" " I know your name, this is a waste of my time Niklaus". Megan regretted calling him Niklaus, he tensed up, he wasn't happy that Megan wasn't playing along. " My father gave me that name over a thousand years ago"
