Chapter 6
Just as Sylar was about to leave the motel, he realized that Candice's
house was too far to walk. He would simply lie to Mohinder and tell him
he was going out.
"Here are the keys, Zane. Just be careful." Mohinder said as he gave Sylar
the keys. Sylar took the keys and smiled at Mohinder.
As he was getting in the car, the image of Candice kissing him came back to him.
He shook his head violently, causing him to get a headache.
"No... I am going to do what I always do..." And with that he started the car.
As he drove, all he can think about was the dream. From the kiss,
to the smile, to the knife. It was driving him crazy.
He turned on the radio to distract himself, putting it as low as possible.
"You are listening to Seether and Amy Lee, 'Broken'..."
"I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain"
He drove with her smile engraved into his mind. He changed the radio, trying
to find something that didn't remind him of Candice, the girl he was about
to murder.
"and now, heres Ryan Cabrera with 'On the way down."
"Sick and Tired of this world
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Goin' nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
And I took a dive
And on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself...."
Sylar was so confused. As he pulled up to her familiar street, his heart
was raising.
"All right, Sylar... You can do this..."
He drove up to her gate and parked the car a few feet away.
Sylar got ontop of the car and jumped the fence.
As he started walking towards her house, he had a feeling in
his guts. Can it be? Can it actually be...guilt?
He noticed that all the lights were completely off and he could
hear music from the inside.
"She's probably falling asleep...Good.."
Sylar stretched his hand out and the locks came undone.
He slowly opened the front door and peaked inside.
Sylar looked around for a minute. The house was huge
and the stairs looked like they went on forever.
The music was coming from upstairs.
He slowly started climbing the stairs. every step he took,
he contemplated on what he was about to do.
"Just get her, kill her, and take her brain. Like you've been
doing for the last few months. Come on... you can do this..."
Somehow, the stairs seemed a lot shorter than he thought
they were.
As Sylar got to the top, he felt like running away.
He saw a room deep in the hall with some dim light.
"Candice... meet your end..."
As he got to the room, he saw Candice buttoning up a
man's shirt she was using as PJ's.
His heart was going out of control.
As she got in bed, she turned the lights of and left her stereo
on.
Sylar, assuming that she quickly had fallen asleep, entered her room.
He raised his hand to her forehead, like he's done numerous of times to
cut it off. He couldn't do the deed. His hand came down immediately,
finding it hard to want to hurt the gorgeous girl who was "asleep".
Sylar kept on fighting with himself.
"COME ON! YOU'RE RIGHT HERE! YOU CAN DO THIS! SHE HAS A GIFT!!"
He walked closer to her bed. He put his hand up one las time. But this time,
instead of putting it down or killing her, he simply put it to her forehead.
He started running his hand through her soft hair. He gently touched her soft
forehead and felt like kissing it.
"What has happened to me? Why am I behaving this way?"
Just at that very second, Candice's eyes shut open and she was
looking right at him.
"Hello beautiful." Sylar said, trying to scare her.
He slowly took his hand from her head and backed up from her.
She sat up in panic trying to make out the face of the man who
was in front of her.
"You... you're Sylar, aren't you?" She said completely horrified.
He smiled and stretched his hand out.
She shut her eyes and the next thing he knew, she vanished.
"She...she can teleport!" He said out loud.

I pretty much hate this chapter but... Gotta let you know, I wrote this story over a year ago.
Ever since I saw the episode The Eclipse Part II, Anything romantic with Sylar kills me!
