'Maybe it was just all a bad dream,' I thought. No. It wasn't. My head hurt so that proved it. Slowly I opened my eyes, not knowing if I was alive or not. When I did, I was looking into the maroon eyes of Hannibal Lecter.

"You're up, I see," he said to me. "Before you do anything, let me check something." He shined a small light into my eyes. "Ok, your alright," he reported.

I heard someone dash into the room saying, "Is she okay, is she okay!?" in a worried voice. It was Aunt Clarice.

"I'm fine," I answered. All that was wrong was that my head ached a little.

"Thank God! I was so worried!" she exclaimed. "It's a good thing that we... found you. The kidnappers... let you go... after they knocked you out. Apparently, after you saw them and could identify them later, they just decided that it wasn't worth it, and let you go...yeah," she tried to explain. I knew she was lying. Even though I couldn't think straight because of the bump on the head, I knew she was covering up something. But I was so dizzy and I just wanted to sleep so I didn't think about it. Later. I'd figure it out later.

After sleeping for a while, Dr. Lecter drove me home.
"I know you heard us talking in the room, but you have to understand, it's not what you think," he told me. Yeah sure. Try to tell me that my aunt being a cannibal isn't what it think. But I didn't say anything because I was too scared to.

"Oh, and, between you and me, good job at getting that kidnapper on the couch unconscious. It helped," Dr. Lecter said, smiling.

"Thanks," was all I said. I knew that he had saved me. Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy after all.

*ok, i know the ending was kinda sucky, but at least Lori finally realizes that Dr. Lecter isn't so bad after all. so it was a good ending. also, i (md) can't post any more fics here. i don't have internet anymore. so fools gold will post it up for me. thanx!*
