"Oh..." she said, still not understanding but not wanting to annoy him by asking him to explain again. "Well, what do you like to read......you must do a lot of reading living out here alone and all..." she said.

"Love stories mostly." he said. "I do like mystrys, and sometimes science fiction novels. I guess I read a little bit of everything. As for specifi books and authors...I think like Edgar Allen Poe, Margaret Peterson Haddix, and...An Na. Books...Wait for me, The Anthem, The luxe seriess is good too." he said. "do you like to read?" he asked hoping she didn't tell him so, and he just forgot.

"Yes." she said, excitement showing in her eyes. "All types and generes, although I prefer tragedies." Noticing his change in attitude, she said, "I'm sorry.....did I do something to upset you?"

"No," he said. He wasn't upset. "What makes you think that?" he asked. He was just trying to be somewhat normal...and tyring to find popular authors and books and such.

"You know...." she said, having observed similar behavior in the many people she'd counseled, "You don't have to act a certain way around me, just be yourself."

"I'm not acting nay different around you, then when I am alone." That was a straight up lie. everyone acts different. They don't talk a lot when they're alone verses with people. She just happenes to be the first perosn in years that he talked to.

Staying silent for a few minutes, she eventually said, "I'm sorry if I offended you....it's just that, well, I find you very intriguing, and I'd like to get to know the real you..."

That's a scary thought. "No," he said shaking his head. "I am not offended, and I'm me right now. I'm sorry it's just been so long since I've actually talked to another person...I don't know how to react."

She nodded, understanding. "No pressure. Here, why don't you chose the next subject to talk about, make it somthing that's within your comfort zone." she sugguested.

What was she doing? He didn't know why, but there was a little alarm going off in his head tellling him to stay away from her. He looked at the sky, and then said, "I thinik it is time for me to go home. It's been really nice talking to you. See you soon?" he said, and started walking towards his house again.

"Wait." she said, following him. "What do you mean? Its only been half an hour?" Confused by his mood swings, she struggled to understand what she'd said to make him react like this.

"I honestly can't talked to you right now." he said. ever would have been a better word. All he knew is she liked to "fix" people like him he knew he was messed up, but he had been able to hide here for so long that he didn't want to ruin it. She was smart enough she could figure out everything. About his mom....the vampire.....everything. He wasn't prepared to give up the life that he had made for himself at the moment. He stopped walking and looked at her. He prayed to God that he didn't look like some pitiful child. "Maybe tomorrow. We can meet again if you like."

"I would like that alot." she said, smiling softly at him. "But why is it that you can't talk to me right now?" she asked, completely confused.

He in over his head. "Like I said. It's been awhile since i've actually talked to a person and I don't know how to act around you." he said. "I'm a little over-whelmed right now."

Undestanding how difficult it must be for him, she finally sighed in defeat, waving good bye to him before heading back along the trail that led to the main path.
