The One Who Lurks

He stood right there. His jet black coat touching the hard wooden floor. I was shocked in horror. I dropped the phone. It had ruined the smooth glossy glass covering the phone.

I muttered words deep inside my head, screaming, and words, forming. But none came out. The endless feeling I felt seeing his cold hard body drop on the floor, really, it shook me. I must've gone into shock.

"..Doc?" I muttered. His stare was cold and harsh. But I repeated, bravely, "..Doc?"

I could see he muttered, "Yes." Although, it was hidden from the worn out drama mask he wore.

"Was this the only way?" I asked again, calming myself down. "Yes." He said again.

He kept the gun in his cape and rushed over to me, "Both of us will never speak of this again." He said.

I stared at him, and I swore I felt something I never ever had before. It was a pulse in my heart, a different....beat? Almost love, really, but it was forbidden isn't it.

"Quickly. They'll take notice soon." He told me. "They record everything."

He backed off, slowly, and I followed as his cape dragged onto the floor. But, why was he so careless? He let the blood drip onto his coat, following him like a snail, almost, a trail. I really cannot believe it.

I came over to him, and I swore, I felt a feeling of hope, an escape? A way to paradise? Or is it, that I might have a future with him?

I can't believe it. And only now did they realize that he escaped.

But atleast we finally escaped, right? Both of us, together.

Our love was forbidden, but, I would travel to the moon and back, all for him, all, I thought.

I grabbed my I.D and my cards, hiding in my pocket, all comfortable. But this is just going to be a part of my past, I thought, again. I split open my wound and poured some blood.

"Believable?" I asked him, as he opened the door.

"Very." He replied. I threw my I.D and my card away.
