Chapter 10
I got up later that afternoon. The house was very quiet. I went downstairs and no one was there. Kirill had left me a note on the kitchen table telling me that he and Katarina would be gone for a while so I had nothing to worry about.
But something didn't feel right. I thought someone was in the house because I kept hearing noises. I turned and behind me was someone. I recognize the person. It was Jason Bourne!
I backed toward the knives. "Who the hell are you?"I asked.
"You don't recognize me?"
Then I knew who it was. "What the hell do you want with me?"
"Where's your boyfriend?"
"You mean my fiancé? He's not here."
"What the hell do you mean he's not here?"
"He took my daughter somewhere while I was sleeping. He was nice enough to leave me a note. What the hell do you want with him?"
"We have some unfinished business to take care of,"he walked out of the kitchen and I followed him.
"You want to kill him don't you?"
"Did I say that?"
"Then what do you want with him? I have the right to know." I didn't know if he knew that I had a knife behind my back or not.
"You can put that knife down. I'm not going to hurt you."
"I tried to stop him you know."
He stopped and looked at me.
"He wouldn't listen to me…"
He put his hand on my shoulder. For a second I thought he was going to try to kill me, but he didn't. He just smiled and turned away.
"There's one thing I want to know."
"What?"
"How did you get into my house?"
"Your back door was unlocked. You had better get that checked,"and he left.

One step closer
By: Linkin Park
I'm
about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm
one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I'm
about to break
This room to breathe
This room to breathe
This room to breathe
I cannot take this anymore
Saying
everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sence
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren't so
clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these
thoughts, they make no since
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing
seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I
need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I
need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to break
These
are the places where I can feel torn from my body
My flesh, it
peels during this ride we can cut upwhat we like
I'm about to
break
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I
have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my
face
Blood is a pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And
pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And
pouring
And pouring
And pouring
Shut up when I'm
talking to you
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood
is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up when I'm
talking to you
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood
is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
I'm
about to break
Everything you say to me
And I'm about
to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to
break
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the
edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer
to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to
breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm
about to

I didn't leave the couch. I was just so scared. I couldn't believe that Jason Bourne had actually come into my house and not killed me. I wanted Kirill to get home soon. I was just so scared. Hurry up Kirill,I thought. I need you here now.
About fifteen minutes later the door opened. It was Kirill. I was so happy to see him home with our daughter. I ran over to him and hugged him. Kirill could see the look of terror on my face.
"Nicole,what's wrong?"he asked.
"Jason was here,"my lips were trembling.
"Stay here. I'll be right back." He took Katarina and hurried upstairs. About five minutes later he came back downstairs and embraced me. "When was he here?"
"He left about fifteen minutes ago."
"How did he get in?"
"The back door was unlocked."
"Did he hurt you?"
I shook my head. "No."
"I didn't think so."
"What does he want?"
"Me."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I just know he wants to talk to me."
"You might as well do that then or something's going to happen."
"Everything's going to be fine Nicole."
I went silent and looked at him.
"What is it?"
"I told him."
"About what?"
"That I tried to stop you from killing him."
"What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything. He just touched my shoulder,smiled,and left."
"I told you everything was going to be ok."
"But for some reason I don't think he wants to just "talk" with you Kirill. You know I don't trust him."
"He didn't kill you."
"But still…"
"I'll take care of it Nicole."
"Just promise me you'll come back alive if anything happens."
"Ok." I sat back down on the couch. I felt miserable.
"Are you all right?" He put his hand on my forehead. "You're getting sick again."
"I'm fine."
"No you're not Nicole. I'm glad this has all been taken care of."
I knew what he meant. "You know I didn't have a choice."
"Yes you did."
"You did too."
"Let's not talk about that."
I sighed. "I'm sorry."
"It's all right. I know I should have listened to you. But you shouldn't have followed me if you were that sick Nicole. I didn't want you to get worse."
"But I didn't."
"And we can be grateful for that."
I nodded. "I know."
"Are you going to be all right?"
"This isn't anything I can't handle. I'll be fine Kirill."
