Chapter 5 Mysterious ways excite me

We stared looking at each other, time seemed to slow down and all we had was this staring into each others eyes. Finally I decided it was time to make a move. I pulled away from her and went to have a shower. Her silver eyes seem to sadden at my leaving. I neede to get my head straight, or at least clear. The water poured over my body, and for a moment I was allowed to relax.

"Kane I'm sorry if I shocked you, that wasn't my intention, honestly"

"I just don't know what to make of this, you're dead and I'm seeing you as though you're real"

"I know, but in order for things to work out I need you, you're the only one to make it right"

I turned off the water and got out of the shower, a towel quickly wrapped around my waist, "How do you intent on helping me? How can you save me?"

"There are many things I can do, firstly I'm a distraction to your self-abuse and I'm a guide on this quest, I'm your one and only guide."

I went to open my mouth but quickly shut it because I wasn't sure what to say.

"You can say it Kane, I won't be offended"

"I can hardly save myself, what makes you think I can save you?"

"Because you did it once Kane, you can do it again"

I sighed as I finished getting dressed "I don't even remember you, how can I know what to do if I can't remember you"

She gave me the softest look "You gotta let the past come back Kane, you've been runnin from it for long, you gotta let yourselr remember. Eventually it will come to you"

"Well I do like a good mystery" I mused pulling on my boots, she sat beside me, a smile back on her angelic face.

"I know you do, thats why I've been appealing to you like this, you never could resist a good brain turner"

"So where do I start?"

"We'll start by askin the right questions, once you start asking the right questions, I can answer, until then you have work and I have people to make crazy, thats gonna be ever so much"

"Like me?"

"Your not crazy Kane, you're just a guy who has lost his way and with my help, you'll be back on track. So lets get this started"

I stood up and went out the door, she didn't follow me but I knew she would be with me when I got to the arena. I hated that I had to be more cautious now about talkin to her, people couldn't see her the way I could, unless thats the impression I got.

Once I was at the arena, she was once again beside me, her black and white shoes keeping up with my long strides.

"This should be fun Kane, so your mission today is to carry on with work as per normal and afterwards we can start some serious work"

"I can barely wait" I really couldn't wait, already I was thinking of something that I could ask that would start to un-ravel the mystery. She said more or less that if I asked the right things then she could help me, not only could I save me, but I could save her. How she felt about redemption was how I felt about saving me, I didn't care, I was more eager to help her.

Mark came back up to me, his face changed when he saw me smile, I guess I hadn't done that in a while.

"Glen, you look happier"

I shrugged as my girl shot me that look that made her eyes flare up, "Your welcome Kane, I can't believe that even though I'm dead I can make people happy, I remember the first time I saw you smile, it litterly made my tiny little eight year old heart light up. Thats a clue by the way"

"Glen I would still like you to talk to a professional," Mark started pulling me away from my girl. I so didn't like that.

"Hey! He's talking me, that counts you know. Just because I'm dead don't mean I can't help"

"Can he see you?" I asked before I could stop it. Mark looked at me like I was insane,

"No but I like shoutin at people, it makes me think that I'm alive when I'm not."

"You should really stop that then" I smiled at her, Mark was looking at me like I had finally gone over the edge.

"Glen who are you talking too?"

I shrugged "Doesn't matter"

"Not very nice, I have feelins you know"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings"

"You're lucky you're pretty Kane or else I'd have to smother you" She gave a giggle as she put her hand in mine and started to lead me away.

"Well I have to go now," I let her lead me away glad to be with her and away from Mark. Maybe getting too involved with her was bad, but I didn't care, the mere thought of saving her and making everything right rattled feelings inside me that I never knew I had. I liked it and I never wanted to let her go. What did that thought bring me nothing but a sense of familiarity? I liked that too.
