| -Russel? Russel! hey come on! Wake up! It was just an illusion, you've been here all along!- -Is that...? when you died?- -Yes...- -Who were those people?- -I once called them friends- -Darn...- -The one who stabbed me was my boyfriend- -And he killed you? Just like that? (That son of a gun) Why?- -They thought I knew something I didn't- -Did you know it?- -Hell no! They just suspected- -I'm confused...- -They were up to something, Ira and psycho, I knew they wanted to get rid ot me, because I might have known too much...- -What were they up too?- -I don't know, nothing good for sure... But I've never wouldv't guessed Matt was with them too...- -Now I get it... Kyra, I'm sorry.- Indifferent- Meh... It's OK, It doesn't really matter now...- Kyra turned around and looked at 2-D -How did you get here?- -I have been here for quite a long time... almost since I died, somehow I ended up here with 2-D, I believe it was fate, 'cuz I really have no idea how or when I got here, after that I couldn't leave... I just had to stay, I just had to...- -But I didn't see you before... why so suddenly now?- -I didn't want to be seen, I didn't have the need...- -You knew I could see Del couldn't you? That's why you asked for my help, right?- -I knew you had some sort or extra sense, but I didn't know Del.- -Ohhhh... So that's why you got scared when he popped up on you!- *laughs* -Yeah, I didn't expect it...- As she laughed, the room got warmer. -Good, you're in a better mood, aren't you, I can tell 'cuz the room isn't as cold- -I'm sorry, I can lose control at times, but it's hard to be seen, it takes strength to do this...- -Tell me, are you always here?- 2-D made a strange little snoring sound, Kyra smiled, turned around and started playing with 2-D's hair... She laughed -I'm always looking 2-D... always.. and I also watch on YOU, Russ!- -...!- -Look at him... He looks so cute, so innocent... I'm always next to him... always, even when Murdoc teases him... I can't do much about it, But I do my best... It's hard when you can't move most ofthe stuff...- Russel had to come up with a remark -His hair is moving...- -Haven't you had that feeling of something cold touching your feet or hands when they're hanging from outside the bed?- *Russel didn't say anything* -Heh heh, It's not me I'm just putting an example Russ!- -Oh, I see...- -I come to check on him when he sleeps too- -Wow, you were always here and none of us had any idea...- Kyra didn't seem to be listening, she kept on talking. -Sometimes I speak to him while he's sleeping, in his dreams, he's not quite aware of it, but deep inside him... he knows... he is not alone, that's what I always tell him.- She got closer, "sat" on the bed, and stretched her hand, she seemed to be getting disturbed, the room started getting slightly colder, then 2-D groaned and turned looking at the other side of his room, when Kyra saw this the room got a bit colder. -I know what he's thinking, he's probably thinking why is it so cold if there aren't any windows in this room, feeling this cold wind blowing from no where... It makes me feel sort of sad...- Russel came closer too, he tried to grab her shoulder to comfort her, but his hands passed through her, and again, he had that cold feeling running down his spine. -I'm starting to fade away Russ, I'm losing my strength, I'm gonna have to leave soon... I just, came to look at 2-D sleep one last time... he looks like an angel.- Russel wanted to say something, but he just didn't know what, Kyra kept talking... -I felt so upset because even after all the time watching on 2-D I can't really do much to help him, so I promised myself I wouldn't go until I did something for him...- -That's what you meant by "going home" isn't it?- -Yes, and now it's the time...- -The friends you talked about...- -Those friends were you...- -So the phone number you told me to dial was a phony!- -Exactly- -Do you have a message to deliver then?- -Yes...- Kyra got up from the bed and walked to Russel. When she did this 2-D turned again while sleeping, and faced them. -Oh, but wait! Russ, please, in case I disappear suddenly, let me just say good bye...- -Sure- Kyra turned next to the bed, and sat on her knees, right next to 2-D, the room got colder... she started talking in a low voice... -2-D? Can you hear me? I know you can, it's me... sorry I promised to be here for you, but I'm gonna have to leave now... Please forgive me... I just came to say good bye...- As tears started coming out of her eyes, 2-D started shivering and cuddled up even more on his blanket, that strange white stream started coming out of both Russel and 2-D's mouth- Darn! I'm really gonna miss you!- Kyra gently kissed 2-D's cheek, then she got up and headed for the door... -(sob) let's go sit on a table...- |
