My heart was racing like I couldn't believe. And if he was who I thought he was, then he knew it as well I as I did. I tried to act calm and cool about it.
"You're here to kill me aren't you?" I asked, my voice a little shakey.
"I'm thinking about it," he replied as he walked closer. He stopped not even a foot away from me.
"Is it true? What you said earlier?" I asked, trying to make him think about this whole thing. I looked at him straight in the face. "That you're trying to stop killing people for their abilities?"
He looked down and didn't answer me. It's too bad the good looking ones are always the bad guys.
"How'd you find me?" I asked, seeing if he'd talk if I changed the subject a little.
"When I was with you at your place," he said, "I sensed there was someone else in the room with us. I could hear another set of heartbeats. When I left, I stood outside your door and heard you talking to Peter. I thought to myself that he must have met someone who had invisibility." He looked at me this time. "I followed you around the rest of the day and found out the rest of your plans."
"I didn't mean to lie to you when I said I had to leave for work," I told him. "I couldn't tell anyone where I was going-"
"Because you were planning to escape Sylar before he got to you, right?" he interrupted.
I shook my head. "But I had no idea you were Sylar until Peter told me after you left," I said. "I thought you could be my next boyfriend." I barely laughed. Sylar smiled a little bit.
"I admit, I do like you," he said and reached up to touch my hair. "But like I said," –Here he gets that scary deep voice he sometimes gets- "'his need over powers him.'"
Just then, he takes his hand back, makes a fist, then flicks his fingers out, and I go flying backwards. I land in the grass with a large thump next to my phone and almost do a backwards flip. As he walks over to me I realize he's not using his abilities to hold me down. I could see from the light of both sets of headlights that the look on his face wasn't a look of anger, or success, but a look of almost sadness, and like he was trying to resist the urge to kill me.
I grabbed my phone and took off running into the forest beside the road. Then his walk turned into, not a run, but a jog. But I ran as fast as I could, trying not to trip over the roots of trees or logs, while at the same time, trying not to run into any trees. I heard his foot steps from behind me stop and I looked back. He was using his ability of telekinesis to lift a small log of the ground and throw it at me. That thing came flying so fast, the only thing I thought I could do to avoid being hit was to fall to the ground. So I did. I could feel the air that the log took with it as it flew over my head while I was falling to the ground. It landed about 10 feet in front of me.
I got up again and took off; jumping over the log Sylar had just thrown. After about 10 seconds, I glance behind me and notice he's much farther behind than before, but he's still coming after me. I cut behind a tree and find myself tangled in a large bush. I then thought of something and stopped struggling. I carefully got myself positioned so I was well hidden in the bush but could still see if he ran by or not. I relaxed and my heart stopped. I never really thought I could've used this ability for anything useful until that night.
I couldn't move, but I could still see and hear. So I waited. I heard Sylar's footsteps slow to a stop, and he was perfectly positioned where I could see him. He glanced around the forest with a confused look on his face.
"How could…" I heard him mumble and trail off. He looked up into the trees as if to see if I climbed up one of them. "Please be gone," he mumbled to himself. "I won't have to kill her."
He turned around and was just about to head back when my phone rang. He stopped dead and looked straight into the bush I was hiding in.
The next chapter might not be up until late tommorrow night. Just as an FYI.
