Part 6

(Jen's View)

I smiled slightly after Nny left. That was the coolest homicidal maniac I've ever met. Well, the only homicidal maniac I've ever met, but whatever. SHUT UP BRAIN! Maybe I can help Nny. Maybe I can get Devi back with Nny or something. Hmm... There's a thought... Nny should smile more; he's got a nice smile.

I left the café after finishing my coffee and walked down the way I came.

As I passed Dragon Books, I froze. What was Nny looking at? What made him so sad? I debated whether I should walk in the store and find out, but my legs made me stumble in the store anyway. I looked around. It was a pretty ordinary place. I wonder what it was that almost made Nny cry. The source wasn't obvious, so I gave up and looked around for a good book. After I found one, I went to the register where a purple-haired girl was working.

I looked at her nametag, "Hi Dev..."

I froze. Devi? As in Devi-the-one-that-got-away Devi?

I dropped my book and gaped at her, "Devi?"

She looked at me as if I was insane, "Yeah, do I know you?"

"Oh no... I just remembered something..."

"All right... So will this be it?" She asked.

"Yes..." I replied. I should do it... I should... maybe...

She scanned the book.

"Do you know Nny?" I blabbed before I even realized. My hand flew to my mouth.

Devi flung the book from her as if it were a bomb and looked at me with wide eyes, "Oh my god! Where's my mace?!"

She fumbled around looking for it.

"No! It's okay! He's not here!" I told her quickly.

Devi relaxed a little, but her hands were still shaking. She looked at me, "Y-yes... I know Nny... What about him? Who are you anyway? Do you know him? Are you his new one?"

"Uh... I'm Jennifer Nikolai... And yes, I know him... He's sort of my new neighbor... he said he would show me around toni--"

Devi cut me off, "OHMYGOD! RUN GIRL RUN! YOU RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY AND DON'T EVER LOOK BACK! HE'LL TRY TO KILL YOU!"

"But--"

"KILL!"

"He still lov--"

"HE WILL TRY TO KILL YOU!" Devi shrieked at me.

"(Okay... obviously this is not working) I think I'm going to leave now..." I told Devi, whose eye was twitching madly.

As I quickly left the store, Devi screamed from the doorway, "RUN LIKE THE WIND GIRL! RUN LIKE THE WIND!"

I increased my speed until I was running like hell.

Is it just me or are all the people I've met psychos or potential psychos?
