A New Life in a New Body
Serious Talk
Lisa is walking back to the main room. She feels confident that they have finally got him. They had looked for years and couldn't find him, to be on top of the goal of their never ending search. It was very exciting; the world was going to change dramatically. She walks over to a chair and plops herself down.
"So do you think he's the one," Klaw asked.
"I really hope so this has lasted a long time," Lisa replied.
Chris Laughs," The psychic can't really tell? Yet, she couldn't quit looking at him."
"Oh, why don't you just be quiet," Klaw said irritated.
"Well we all felt it. I can't tell if he is or not but he sure seems like it," She replied unsure.
"Well either way, he is still safe," Klaw said in a mono tone.
Well the conversation continued like that for several hours. They seemed very concerned for their new arrival. They discussed whether or not to send him to someone more powerful. Suggested to hand Moulder over to the government if he wasn't (didn't go over to well). The rest of the time was spent watching the fire and reminiscing. The hours went till the wee hours of early morning.
They left the cozy fire one by one, and retired to bed. Lisa was the last to leave; she walked to her room all the way at the end of the hall. She opened her door, there was Moulder just sleeping. It looked as if the rest of the world didn't even bother him. His fate unsure yet he seemed to accept it. He is quite attractive... though she'd never tell anyone.
She walked over to her bed and just sat there staring at Moulder, taking in his features, like furry face and fluffy tail. If he was to change the world he sure was scrawny. He was a hacker of some sort, like one that was welcomed amongst the government. She stared at him for hours; she was technically asleep because she was deep in meditation.
Moulder starts to stir, he sits up. Rubbing his eye he looks around the dark room. Not remembering where he was as of last night he jumps up. Thinking he had broke into someone's house and fell asleep. He then saw Lisa, just looking at him. He felt he had to get out of here. He snuck out of the room, down the hall and was stopped by none other than Klaw.
Hey sleepy head. Klaw said surprised.
Hi. Moulder said unhappily.
Hoped it was some sort of bad dream didn't you. I did the same thing my first night. Klaw said understandingly.
Well I guess it isn't so bad I always wanted to feel right. Moulder said optimistically.
That's the spirit. Come I'm sure you must be starved. Klaw said.
I followed Klaw into the kitchen, where he told me to sit. He got into the fridge and had pulled out eggs bacon and sausage. He then ended up pulling out three different pans, and started cooking. The smell reminded me of my mom's homemade breakfast. When it was done he asked me to go get Chris and Lisa. I went and told Chris, and I was surprised his room was so clean, he seemed like a disorganized person. Lisa who wasn't in her room was in the library, reading one of the thickest books I'd ever seen.
"What is that," I inquired," it looks like the history of the universe."
"Close enough," Lisa replied.
"Well, just wanted to let you know breakfast is ready," I informed.
"How did you get it," she asked abruptly.
"Get what," I asked.
"That scar," she said.
"Well I was in a real bad accident," I explained.
"Care to elaborate," she pressed further.
"Not much to elaborate on to tell the truth and if there was I wouldn't tell a complete stranger. I'm sure you understand," I said.
"Oh I see, perhaps later," She said understandingly.
"We'll see," I said, and walked away.
She closed the abnormally huge book and walked past me. How did she know? I wondered as I walked back toward the kitchen. I can't believe she could have guessed that I had any scar at all, most of all that there was a story to tell. I haven't thought about it since it happened last. That was 5 years ago...
