Chapter 44

Clarice was back in the white roomless place, it didn't scare her anymore, it rather felt pleasant. She didn't call out, Clarice simply waited, while she thought of what had just happened. It felt so unreal, but still it had meaning. She had learned so much about her self, and what she was willing to do.

Two times she had seen that she ended up with Dr. Lecter. She had some unsorted feelings for him, feelings that she pushed away. But look at how she had ended up. Clarice what not quit sure what that meant. Did she love Dr. Lecter? Was she in love with a cannibalistic murder?

Clarice didn't like the way this was going, after all she was an agent, she was suppose to get the bad guys not get feelings for them, whether that was good or bad. Clarice began to feel dizzy; all that thinking was apparently not good for her.

"Hello Clarice." The shapeless form was back. Clarice decided she needed to sit down before she fell. "Hello." Clarice sighed when her legs no longer held her weight. "So what did you think of what you just have seen?"

Clarice said the first word that came into mind. "Disturbing." A body emerges out of no where and walked towards her. "Really, and why is that hmm?"

Clarice decided to plunge right ahead, who ever that "person" was he had some answers that she needed. "Twice you have shown me that I'm in love with Dr. Lecter." It seemed so short, was that really it, she should be trilled shouldn't she? Clarice was at seven seas, she had no answers.

The person sat down next to her. "Why is that disturbing Clarice?" she turned to look at him, whom was he kidding. "I'm an agent, I enforce the law, I can't have such feelings for a...." Clarice's words ran out. "With a what Clarice?" for the first time his voice was demanding, it reminded her of someone, but who? Clarice said nothing for several minutes. "Whit a cannibal, a criminal and a murder, it just isn't possible." Clarice sounded powerless.

"Should you deny your self that which makes you happy Clarice?" "How do I know that I would be happy?"

"Tell me Clarice, would you follow your heart if you where sure that it meant complete happiness even with a man whom doesn't obey the laws of society?" Clarice shot out a laugh. "That's one way to put it." Clarice returned to thought, was she afraid that she might loose everything? However little that might be, to run off with him? She honestly didn't know.

"I don't know." "Should we take a look at how it might be?" Clarice didn't think twice about that offer. "Yes." It came out like a hoarse whisper. "Time to sleep."

The white room disappeared.

A/N well dear readers, I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while, I had no computer to write on, but I surly hope to post several chapters by the end of today.
