Chapter 4
As Mohinder drove, all Sylar can think about was Candice. He couln't help but to notice the whole time they were there, she seemed to be hiding something.
His thoughts were amediately interupted by the pain in his head. Mohinder had turned on the radio. Sylar put his hand on his head, like he did earlier in the day.
"You know what, Zane? I think you should go to a doctor. You don't look so good"
Sylar looked at Mohinder, trying to hide his anger. "No, don't worry about me, Mohinder. It's just the cold. I get headaches from the cold."
Mohinder looked at him with concern. "You sure, friend? You're going to be okay?"
Sylar didn't want to talk anymore. Talking made it worse. "Ya. Don't worry about it."
Mohinder turned stations till he found something interesting.
"This is the new one by Daughtry called 'Crashed' "
"Well I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head-spinning, couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was going down.
Yeah, yeah.
Where I've been, well it's all a blur.
What I was looking for, I'm not sure.
Too late and didn't see it coming.
Yeah, yeah" ...
Mohinder looked at Sylar and saw him staring at the window. He smiled, thinking that "Zane" had a crush on Candice. He turned the radio down to talk to Sylar.
"And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away"
"Hey Zane. Mind if i ask you something? It's a bit personal though."
Sylar looked at Hinder abit confused. "Sure, Mohinder. What is it?"
"When was the last time you had a female companion?"
"Somehow, I couldn't stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn't hold on.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we're heading, there's just no knowing.
Yeah, yeah."
Sylar never thought of that. He hasn't thought of relationships since he went on a killing spree. Infact, the last and only time he had a girlfriend was in his second year of college, and they broke up after a few months.
"Um.. about... afew years ago. Why?"
Hinder felt a bit rude asking him those kinds of questions.
"Just wondering. Before you came with me to find these people, was there anyone you were interested in?"
Sylar looked at Hinder, thinking he knew what he meant. "Uh.. Mohinder.. I think you're a great guy and a great friend but... I'm not gay-"
"No no no!! I'm sorry to confuse you!" Mohinder said laughing. "That's not what I meant!"
'Zane' sighed and started laughing. "Well, I havn't really liked anyone. I don't really think or spend time in that anymore"
"And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away."
"What about you, Mohinder? When was the last time you had a girlfriend?"
Mohinder started to look a bit sad. "She ... uh.. wasn't exactly my girlfriend... but I really liked her. She died...right after telling me she was gonna murder Sylar"
"From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need"
"That's terrible Mohinder. What was her name"
Mohinder paused before looking at 'Zane.
"Her name was Eden."
"And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away"
Sylar remembered her too well. her powers of persuasion. How she shot herself so that He wouln't take her brain... it all came back to him.
"I'm so sorry to hear that, Mohinder" Sylar said, faking sympathy.
Mohinder changed the subject on him.
"Well, What about Candice? She seemed quite interested in you." Mohinder said, looking at Sylar.
"Oh.. ya she's nice. When are we gonna go back to visit her?"
Mohinder smiled. "I don't know. I'll call her later. I knew you were interested in her."
Sylar smiled. "Why wouln't I be? She very...Gifted... I guess you can say I admire her."
Sylar kept thinking of all the thing we could do with her powers, but there's something else he kept on thinking about... her smile. It was ingraved into his head. "That smile... no girl has ever smiled at me like that before... It was such a smile..." He kept thinking to himself.
"And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away."
"What's happening to me?...I can't think like this... I wont let myself..."
