Chapter 4: Crystal's Tears
I looked around at the top stair. I saw Sue's room and I could hear Kyle snoring. But I heard something else. It was like a soft crying. I followed the sound to a door on my left and opened it quietly. There she lay, sobbing on her pillow. I took a step in and knocked on the door. She sat up and glared at me. I walked in slowly and sat beside her on her bed.
"Listen, I didn't mean to blow up like that... I'm just not used to being told what to do, and you sounded kinda hateful about it..." I looked at her, but she was looking the other way.
"I thought you were leaving for your camp..." She said sternly.
"I decided to go in the morning. It's dangerous out there and I am wounded... Besides, I've not tasted cooking like that in a long time!"
"Well then you should go home and eat your mom's food..."
"That's the thing... I can't..." She looked at me a little confuzed. "Well, I guess I should get to sleep. You mom said I can have the couch." I started to stand but she grabbed my arm tightly, pulling me back down slowly.
"Wait, please..." She said. I looked at her puzzled, wondering what she wanted. "Who are you , really? I want to know who you are, that's all..." I sighed softly. I felt like I wanted her to know, but I couldn't just yet. She threw her arms around me, not letting go.
"Please, just tell me your name..." I couldn't tell her yet. If I told her, he might find out I was out to kill him. I couldn't risk that. I hugged her back, speaking softly.
"I can't tell you that, not yet..." She squeezed me a little, still not letting go.
"Why not? Are you afraid of something?"
"... I am." I felt her grip loosen a little, but I didn't let go yet.
"I know how you must feel, loosing someone you love... I know it hurts... But what if you lost everyone you knew? Your home, your friends, your family, even your mother..." She didn't say anything. "I promise you'll know who I am soon enough..." I laid her down in the bed and walked out, saying good night over my shoulder. I walked down the stairs, feeling a little strange, like something unseen happened up there. I lied down on the couch , closing my eyes. I shouldn't think about this too much. I needed rest. But I didn't get any rest that night...
