My Auntie Was Kidnapped By a Cannibal!
Chapter 4- Why


After I had calmed down, I went out of my room and decided to go see Aunt Clarice and apoligize to her. Maybe I should've been a little bit less crazy. I found her and Lecter in the living room. They were sitting down with glasses of wine and talking.I found out later that I arrived here the day after that whole Chateau Y'quim wine scene that was NAUGHTY. So I didn't see anything nasty. Don't ask how I found out about this. So anyways, Dr. Lecter noticed me standing out there and I though he was just gonna ignore me. But he said, "Come in, Lori. Only if you would like to." So I went in reluctantly and then, my aunt said something that REALLY pissed me off. She said, "Oh. I forgot to do something. Let me go get. Why don't you two get to know each other while I'm gone." Then she left me. I guess she wanted me dead. Here I am, in a room alone, with a psycho. Great. Thanks for sentancing me to death, Aunt Clarice. I sat up straight. Dr. Lecter looked at me like he expected me to say something. So I did. "Uhhh hi?" I said. I know, I know, not the smartest thing to say, but at least I said something. Dr. Lecter stared for a second and then started to smile. "Are you afraid of me?" he asked, still smiling. "Your aunt isn't." I didn't know what to say. I mean, I didn't want to say that I was afraid that he was going to eat me. So I said. "I'm a little afraid," in a soft voice. "Well don't worry, I won't bite," he said with a laugh. Not a maniac laugh, like I expected, but a normal one. I still felt a little uneasy, but at least I knew that he was a little nice. "So, you saved my aunt's life. What happened to her?" I ventured. After all, Aunt Clarice had said to get to know him. "She was shot twice with tranquilizers. So I got her and drove away in her car, which is in the garage. Now let me ask you: what were you doing sneaking around the cabin?" I gulped. I better tell him the truth. For some strange reason, I feel like he's be able to know if I was lying or not. I had read that he was a psyciritrist before he was caught. So I told him, "My family rented a cabin around here and I was exploring the area around it. While I was wandering around, I saw this cabin. I almost didn't notice it. But it seemed so strange that there was a cabin that seemed hidden, that I had to get a closer look. Then I saw my aunt's car. I was so shocked that I didn't watch where I was going that I went right in front of the house. Then you caught me." Why did you faint?" He asked. Aunt Clarice was taking an awfully long time. I hoped she'd come back 'cause I didn't really want to answer this question. I reluctantly answered Lecter. "I looked at you and reconized you from pictures I had seen of you in my aunt's office and in the newspaper. At that time, I thought...that you'd done something to my aunt,"I finished. "You mean killed her? I wouldn't do that. The world's more interesting with her in it," Dr. Lecter said. I was about to say something, but then Aunt Clarice came in. "So, did you find anything to talk about?" "Yes, we did," Lecter replied. That's all he said. Then he got up. "Excuse me, but I need to take care of something. I saw him faintly smile at me and then he left.



"I'm sorry I was so mean to him. I guess if you get past that cannibal thing, I guess he's really not that bad. In fact, he's pretty nice. I can see why... you like him and stuff," I said to Aunt Clarice. "That's okay. I can see why you'd be freaked out. Are you sure you're okay with it?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm ok with it. I just thought that it was kinda strange that you'd like the one man you've been trying to find and arrest for sometime now," I told her. "I'm so sorry that I made you so worried," Aunt Clarice said, hugging me. "You probably thought I was dead." "It's okay," I said. "They weren't sure WHAT happened to you, but I still had hope that you were alive. But mom's a mess. You should send her a note or something so she doesn't get grey hair," I told her. There was a pause. Then I realized something. "So I guess you're kinda like a fugitive now, hanging out with a wanted criminal. Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut. I really don't want you to go to jail. I won't even tell mom." "Thank you," said Aunt Clarice.Then suddenly she said, "Oh my gosh! You better go! It's starting to get REALLY late, it's dark already! Your parents must be going crazy! Do you know your way back to your cabin? If it's far, then I guess I'll go with you to make sure nothing happens. I mean, it is and isolated area." "But what if you get caught?" I said. I'd better go by myself." "I will take her back to her cabin," said a voice from the doorway. I was startled. Dr. Lecter had walked up to the door had heard about my prediciment. "That is if you don't mind, Lori," he said in his mettalic voice. "Well, okay! Thank you, Dr. Lecter," I said.I decided to do that because I felt that Aunt Clarice didn't think that I was okay with the Lecter thing. I wanted her to know that I was. My aunt grinned and said, "Be careful." We said goodbye to each other and right as I was going out the door with Dr. Lecter, she said, "Dr. Lecter and I will be going to Florence next year. I know your family travels around so maybe next year you can talk them into going to Florence. Then you can drop by and see us. I email you our address there later." I thanked her and said that I'd be sure to delete the email as soon as I got it so no one would see it. Then the cannibal and I left.



We walked quickly and silently. I knew that Dr. Lecter couldn't afford to get caught. Then, as we were leaving the wood and going into the more open field where we would have to be more careful. All of a sudden, someone popped out of the brush next to the wood! It was my father! "Lori! I was looking all over for you! Where have you been?" he said. I totally freaked. As I kind of mumbled a reply to my father, I slipped a pair of (really cool) sunglasses I had out of my pocket and slipped it to Lecter behind my back. They weren't dark sunglasses, but clear emerald green glasses. At least they would draw my dad's attention from his strange maroon eyes. He put them on casually. "And who's this," said my dad, noticing the man behind me. "Oh, um, this is Mr. Dunbar," I said. I was really nervous. My dad reads the newpaper too and knows what Dr. Lecter looks like. Fortunatly it was dark so he couldn't see him clearly. "He's our neighbor, remember? You said that our next neighber was half a mile away, so while I was exploring, I kinda got lost. I made it to Mr. Dunbar's cabin and he was showing me the way back to the cabin. He's really funny too!" I said laughing, reaching up and messing up Dr. Lecter's hair and laughing. "I guess I am," said Dr. Lecter, playing along. "You've got a great daughter," he said to my dad. "Thank you, I think she's great too. But we'd better go. Your mother's worried sick young lady," my dad said to me. Then, he shook Dr. Lecter's hand. "Thank you Mr. Dunbar. If there's anything that we can do for you, then we'll be at the cabin over down there," he said, pointing in the direction of our cabin. "We'd better go now. Bye." "Bye Mr. Dunbar!" I said, waving at Dr. Lecter. He smiled at me gratefully, that I had helped him. Then my father and I walked back to my cabin as I watched Dr. Lecter disappear into the darkness... oh my gosh!- with my favorite and coolest sunglasses!!! Damn!
