She woke up a few minutes later. She sat up. She looked around. Slowly she remembered. Where she was and about the priest and the demon! She stood up looking for him. His face was still stretched in her mind. She was shaking. It was horrible, terrifying, hideous. She felt faint thinking about it. How could God let such a creature roam his lands?

She listened for a moment and heard a sound that surprised her. It sounded like a sob. Then a sniffle. It sounded as thought someone was crying, but that was impossible. Who could it be? She was alone in this place. Besides the demon that is. She got up. She noticed she had bee on one of the many benches. She wasn't sure how she had got there. He must have moved her. Those hands touching her. The idea made her shiver.

She heard the sounds again. She slowly went towards where she heard them from. The place is so silent she could hear the sweeping of her dress on the floor. She tried to keep silent as she fallowed the sounds. She heard them closer and closers. Finally she found him under a window. The picture in the stained glass was of Jesus and he was kneeing down to pray.

"Gott, den ich dieses Gesicht und annehme, ist dankbar ich im Augenblick habe gehabt von Glück aber ich muß um mehr bitten. helfen diesem Mädchen, mich zu verstehen. Bitte bin ich einsam. ... einsam. ...God bitte," he prayed sobbing. She came up behind him. She gulped but now she was looking at him sitting there crying. He seemed so human to her. The features still appalled her but she could over come them for the moment.

"How did you learn German. This is England after all. Did you live there?" she asked him calmly.

"Yes for a time. My foster parents found me then hid me. It vas in Germany. It was my first language," he said softly.

"Well how did you learn English so well?" she said trying not to stare as he spoke even though she could see parts of his fangs and see the fur moving on his lips and face.

"Vhen I vas in the cellar vhere I vas kept I vas safe until I vas found and taken. I vas around 11 or 12 in years. The priest took me in a cage. Then forced me to learn English and how to read and write. They then locked me in here. They said a church was the only place holy enough to hold a monster like meh," he said softly rubbing the prayer beads in his hands.

"Why did they make you learn to read and write in English," she asked him.

"So I could read the sign, the vards on the valls," he said pointing with one of his misshapen fingers to a signs on the wall close to him, "Read them and you'll know vhy."

"I guess I will never know then," Kitty said turning away from him. One of her greatest shames was that she was never aloud to learn to read.

"You can not read?" Kurt asked gently hoping that was all and it wasn't his fault once more.

"Of course I can't its not a pass time girls should enjoy or want to enjoy," she said the tears forming in her eyes as she thought of the times her father had read to her by the fire. When his eyes had gotten bad she had wanted to read to him, but the squiggles on the page had held no meaning to her at all.

"Vell if you vanted to learn I could teach you," he said softly. What an change of events. One moment she had fainted at the sight of him now she was basically asking for his help. This girl was odd but he liked her a lot. He saw the tears at the edge of her eyes and like the way they made her eyes shine.

"You would but its forbidden," she said as close to tears as she has been in years.

"Vho is here to forbid you? This place is mine and mine alone. Vho shall tell you no? Vho shall stop you? I'm the only here to know you read and I vant to teach you. Vant you to learn," he asked her softly.

"No one I guess," she said softly, "What could I do for you in return?"

"Nothing, just be here so I vill not be alone," he said not turning to look at her.

"Alright demon I will do as you command," she said softly. He howled. A softer and weaker sound then she expected. It stopped as she heard a familiar sound. He was crying again.

She went over and sat by him. She put her hand over his hand. She made sure only to touch the cloth and not his fur. It seemed to unnatural and disturbing to her. She took her apron and brought it to his eyes. Kitty wiped his tears. He looked at her astonished.

"Why do you cry so?" she asked him.

"You truly think me a demon?" he asked softly a lump remaining in his throat.

"No, I can tell you at least have the heart of a man," she told him with a slanted smile.

"Vhy do you call meh d..demon then?" he asked her having to push himself to say the word demon.

"Is that not your name?" she asked.

"Of course not. My name Kurt," he said quickly being hurt over the fact she had thought be could be named something so horrible.

"Oh. I'm sorry huh Kurt I didn't know you had a name. My name is Katherine but you may call me Kitty that's my nickname," she told her smiling.

"I like your nickname, Kitty. I've never had a nickname before," he said smiling.

She got up and he stood by her. They looked over at the window together. The first sparks of friendship lighting their faces. The first friendship for Kurt, and Kitty's first sign of salvation and happiness since her fall from the latter.

(Ayushi: Ok this is what Kurt says in German God I accept this face and am thankful for the moments I have had of happiness but I must ask for more. help this girl understand me. Please I am lonely.... lonely....God please

Kurt: that's not all is it?

Kitty: It better not be

Ayushi: I could be if I wanted

Kitty: You couldn't, you won't, I won't let you.

Ayushi: Ok Ok I'll continue……))
