Next chapter. I hope you like how I solved the question-thing 
(...)
That was one of those moments when I really wished for superpowers. Just to freeze time and gain some additional minutes to think. Unfortunately I was not able to do anything like that – of course not –, and so I stood in my living room, scratching my head, my mind working like crazy. Only one question. That was ridiculous, compared to all the things I wanted to ask Sarah. Probably it would have been easier to make up my mind if I had not been baked (I suddenly regretted having smoked the joint) but the chaos in my head told me that it would take several hours for me to get sober again. And I didn’t have that much time at all.
“So?”, the girl asked impatiently, “what do you wanna know? Come on, ask me, I don’t wanna spend the whole night with this.”
”Hold on... I gotta think about it...”
“Don’t think too long, this is beginning to bore me.”
“Okay, okay... uhm...” Damnit, this was hard! “What I want to know is... no, wait, I’ll choose another one... eh... I need a cigarette.” I smoked wordlessly, while Sarah gazed up at my face with her eyebrows raised. “Could you hurry up?”, she said and yawned.
“Yeah... I, uhm... okay. Before, you said that it was not up to you to decide whether you leave the streets or not. Who is the one who decides if it’s not you? Who is keeping you there?”
“Actually, that was two questions, but okay... I don’t know who it is. Questions answered, can we go to bed now?”
“No. That’s not fair. You owe me some more, Sarah.”
She rolled her blue eyes and sighed. “I’m telling the truth. I’ve never seen him – I don’t even know if it is a man or... I don’t know.”
I sat down on the egde of the table, carefully and not taking my eyes off of her face. “What does he do to you? Does he lock you up somewhere and only release you when it pleases him?”
“No... it’s hard to describe. I already told you, I’ve never seen him. I’m not even sure if he is really around, somehow I feel he is, but...”
“What does that mean?”
“He is not – physically there. I can’t see or touch him. But he is there. All the time. I can feel his presence even now.”
I turned my head and looked around. Stupid enough; what did I expect to see, a ghost wrapped in a white cotton sheet? Get a grip on yourself, Serj! “You can feel him even now? He is here?”
“He is everywhere.”
I took a deep look into her eyes to find out if she was joking. Which she was definitely not. “You’re beginning to scare me”, I said quietly.
“I’m sorry”, she smiled, “but you were the one who wanted to talk about it.”
“True, but...” Make up your mind, I told myself, if she is really telling the truth, you might find out a few things that only very few people on this earth know about. You can’t freak out now, no matter how insane all this might seem now. “So you’re gonna say that this – guy or whatever is some kind of a ghost?” Why did this word sound so stupid, once you said it aloud?
“I don’t think so.”
“Why not?”
“Because...” Sarah interrupted herself, suddenly avoiding to respond my look. “It’s just some kind of a feeling, nothing more.”
I wished there was anything sensible to say for me right now. My thoughts were bouncing in my head until it almost hurt. Why the hell hadn’t I stayed sober, only tonight?! “How do you talk to each other, I mean, since he is telling you what to do and where to go, there must be a way to communicate...”
“I can hear him in my mind.” She giggled and put her hand on her mouth. “That sounds like I was a bit crazy, right?” I shrugged. It did, indeed. Yet I was more than glad that she told me about it at all. “How did you meet him? Why did he choose you, was it random or did he have reason? And does he know that you are with me now? Was it his idea? What is –“
“Shh!” Sarah leaned forward and removed her hand from her mouth to lay it on my lips. “You’re asking too much, Serj. Even if I wanted to, I can’t answer all your questions. I don’t know much more than you.”
“But...”
“No! You’re forgetting our deal, aren’t you? I answered way more than only one question already. It’s over now.”
I was not satisfied with what she had told me so far, not at all. Yet the expression on her pale face made clear that she did not want to talk about it anymore. I felt like I had missed my chance. Or maybe not. “Okay”, I said softly, taking her hand from my mouth, holding it in both my hands. “you’re right. Thank you for being honest.”
“Whatever. Can we go to bed now?”
“Sure. If that’s what you want...”
“Yeah. Will you keep your promise, too, Serj? Will you let me lie next to you?”
I reached out and gently touched her shoulder. She was still naked, the clothes lying on her lap, covering at least her most private parts. “I will”, I smiled, slowly stroking down her left arm. “I always keep my promises. I just thought... maybe you would like a bit more than just lying next to me...”
Sarah’s blue eyes sparkled with excitement. “Of course I do!” She tried to pull me closer but I leaned back so she couldn’t reach anything but my knees. “What about another deal then?”
The girl narrowed her eyebrows. “Another deal?”
“Yeah... I’ll ask you a few more questions, and for each question you answer, you can wish for something.” I shouldn’t have done that, I know. That wasn’t very much like me. Usually. Sarah stared at me and shook her head. “You’re a mean tease!”
I couldn’t help it but grin broadly. I was. I was playing games with a sixteen year old girl. No reason to be proud of, definitely not. “You don’t have to join in, it’s up to you...” My fingers played with hers. I could see her mind work behind her freckle-covered forehead before she said: “Okay... I’m in. What do you wanna know?”
“Let’s see... the one we were talking about before, you know who... did he send you here?”
“No. I’m sure he knows about it but he didn’t send me here.” The girl smiled seductively. “And now my wish... I wish for a kiss.”
There was no way for me to get out of this game I had started, and so I leaned over and kissed her softly. I could feel that she wanted more but again, I pulled myself away from her. “Next question. Why did he choose you?”
Sarah let go a long sigh. “I don’t know. Nobody knows. He just picks people, that’s all. I’m not even sure if he knows the reasons.”
“So you’re not the only one?”
“No, of course not.” She smiled. “That was two questions. Makes two more kisses.” I kept my promise. And I had to admit that I enjoyed it. “Does he scare you?”, I wanted to know when our kiss broke.
“Not anymore. He used to, before I got in contact with him, but now I know that there is no reason to be afraid of him. It’s time for my next wish, I guess...” She hesitated for a second, still smiling. “Take your shirt off.”
Usually I wasn’t very comfortable with undressing in front of others, except they were good friends of mine or family or my girlfriend. Still this night was far from usual. Knowing it was the only way to get more answers, I did what the girl had asked for. “Does he hurt you?”
Gazing at my bare chest, Sarah slowly shook her head. “Not at all.” She moved a bit closer to me. I could feel her breath in my face. “Kiss me again, Serj.” Which I did, a bit more passionately than before, and then asked: “Have you tried to escape from him?”
“That wouldn’t make any sense. Nobody can escape from him, once he has got you. There is no place where you could hide. He would find you.” Our lips almost touched while she spoke. I was beginning to feel a bit dizzy, not sure if it was because of the weed or because of her or just because all this was totally crazy. “Let’s stop this now, please”, I heard her whisper in my ear. “I don’t wanna think about it anymore, not tonight... I wanna be with you.”
“Just one more question”, I replied softly, wrapping my arms around her back. Her skin was cool and soft, and it was incredibly hard not to be turned on immidiately. She raised her head and looked right into my eyes. “Promise it will be the last one.” I nodded. “I promise. Have you... have you told me the truth tonight? I gotta know that.”
“Why should I invent a story like that? I know you would let me stay anyway, there’s no need to lie. Everything I said was true. Everything.” It wasn’t her words that convinced me, it was the expression in her blue eyes. Eyes are the mirror of the soul, they say, and I believe that it’s true. “No more questions”, she declared.
“Alright”, I agreed, although I had at least twenty more in mind. “And what about your last wish?”
“Ah yeah, my last wish, I almost forgot...” She pulled me close, her hands stroking up and down my naked back. “There’s only one more thing I wish for. Make love to me, Serj. Now.”
Once again, I was torn between my mind and the part of me that was more curious than reasonable, the part that had started this silly game, the part that wanted her. And since my mind worked poorly tonight, the other part won after a few seconds. I got up, took her hands and lead her into the bedroom. We made out intensely, kissing and touching each other like it was the very last time, and I couldn’t take my pants off fast enough. I only wanted to be with her, no matter what.
“You’re not doing this because you really want me”, she suddenly whispered in my ear, “it’s your curiousity that is driving you, I know that.”
Her words made me feel as bad as possible. Maybe because I knew that she was not completely wrong. “No, I don’t... it’s not... I really do...” Sarah lay her index finger on my lips. “Shh. It’s okay. I don’t mind... I don’t mind.” Before I could go on defending myself, she went on her knees and took me in her mouth. And now show me the one man who does not enjoy being blown. I completely surrendered to her and soon forgot what I had wanted to say. We ended up in bed, making love like crazy. The world didn’t seem to consist of anything else but us, our hot bodies, our passion, and I swear that for half an hour or more, I forgot all the craziness that surrounded me.
We remained silent for some time when we lay next to each other afterwards. I was tired, exhausted, and there was just no need to speak now. Should I have felt bad? I guess so. Yet, I did not, not at all. I closed my eyes and already passed over to sleep for a second or two.
“You’re an amazing guy”, Sarah’s words brought me back to a reality that seemed both strange and familiar. “I wish we had met under different circumstances. That would have been really cool. Maybe we could have become a couple, hehe.”
I smiled and didn’t even feel in the mood to talk about law and all this kind of stuff. “Maybe, yes.”
She reached out and gently caressed my wet hair which made me even more sleepy. “Can I come here again next month?”
“Next... why, I mean, you can come back anytime. You don’t have to wait for a month again.”
“Yes, I do. You know why.”
I tried to open my eyes and failed. A joint, two beer and making love was the best way to send me straight to dreamland. “Sarah... please... do me a favour and don’t just disappear again in the morning... we need to talk some more... tomorrow...” If she answered anything, I was not able to hear it anymore. For the next few hours, I was lost in several weird dreams that did not make any sense at all.
(...)
Next chapter will be the end, I guess... |

| It's quite witty of Serj to come up with the question-chain. |

 next part
(...)
The sun was shining brightly when I woke up. I turned aside, rubbed my forehead and sat up slowly. Besides me, the bed was empty. I got up, still hoping Sarah might sit in the living room, with a cup of tea in her hands, smiling at me, but like the last time, she had gone. Cursing myself for not having heard her leave, I made a strong coffee and smoked a few cigarettes, trying to figure out what to do. Actually, I didn’t figure out anything at all. Instead, I caught myself gazing at the armchair where she had sat only a few hours ago and recalled our conversation again and again. Now that it was bright day and I was all alone, last night seemed like a strange dream, and all the things she had told me didn’t make any more sense than before. I let go a long sigh and scratched my head while I sipped the coffee and asked myself if I was about to go crazy.
The day passed by painfully slow. I walked up and down in my apartment, like a tiger in a too tiny cage, until I felt dizzy and had a terrible headache. Sarah’s words were pounding in my mind, over and over again, and even when I tried to sleep, they wouldn’t leave me alone only for a minute. The next morning, I finally realized that I would not be able to live more or less normal life again until I found out everything I needed to know. And there was only one person who could help me out of this, so I decided to call my friend John again. He was able to provide exactly the kind of support I needed now.
It took ages before he answered the phone. “Mmh... yeah?”
“John? Hey, this is Serj... did I wake you up?”
“Yeah... man, it’s not even eight in the morning.”
“Sorry, I didn’t take a look at the clock... can I talk to you?”
“Sure... what’s up?”
I told him what had happened two nights ago. The more I added, the crazier it sounded even for my own ears, but I decided to be honest and not to hide anything from him; that was necessary when I wanted him to understand how I felt. After I had finished, the only thing I heard from the phone was silence. Silence and then a long sigh. “Aw, man, Serj! I can’t believe you’ve been doing that again – I always thought if one of us was thinking with his dick, it would be Daron and not you! That chick is dragging you right into some deep trouble, you know that?!”
“I didn’t do all that on purpose, man! And I am definitely not thinking with my dick, this is not about sex at all, it is...”
“Not about sex? That is why you played this kinky game with her, with a sixteen year old girl, and then fucked her again? I’m sorry, but that sounds VERY sexual.”
“That was just... I had to do that. It was necessary.”
John sighed again. “Serj, seriously, I don’t know what’s going on with you, but all this is not like you. I thought I knew you very well, but now I’m not sure anymore.”
I couldn’t even get mad at him for saying that. “Listen, John, I – I’m out of my head, okay, I don’t know what’s going on either, believe me. I don’t know what to do anymore. I really need your help, man.”
“You know I’ll always try to help you, Serj. Although I rather feel like punching you at the moment.”
“I’m glad that you’re too far away for that”, I smiled. Being punched by him was definitely no fun. Although I guess I would have deserved it today. “Listen, this is nothing I wanna talk about on the phone... can you come over this afternoon?”
It was already past five when John arrived, and I had to admit that by that time, I was a wreck, not only physically due to the lack of sleep and way too much caffeine and cigarettes. The first thing he did when I opened the door was to punch my shoulder. “Ouch!”
“Sorry, I had to do that, hehe.”
We sat down in the living room. I offered John a beer but didn’t take one myself, I definitely had reason to stay as sober as could be. All I did was to light another cigarette and rub my hands nervously. “If you go on like that, you’ll die of lung cancer before you’re fourty-five”, John said after a while, pointing at the empty boxes on the table.
“Yeah... actually I wanted to quit smoking, like, three months ago, weird, huh?”
He shrugged. The silence that filled the room felt strange and uncomfortable, especially considering the fact that we had been close friends for way more than ten years.
“Alright, Serj, you asked me to help you – what can I do?”
I was glad that John was the one to start. I did not seem to be able to find any words. Weird enough. “Well... I’ve told you that all his is eating my up somehow, all the stuff Sarah told me just won’t let go of me, it’s going in circles in my head and I... you know me, I can’t just go on like nothing has happened. I need to find out what’s behind all this.”
“You still believe that bitch has been telling you the truth? Come on, Serj, you can’t be serious! A mysterious invisible man who is talking to her in her mind? If you ask me, she’s a bit... you know.” John pointed at his forehead.
“You only say that because you didn’t talk to her”, I contradicted, “if you had been here, you wouldn’t...”
“Just listen to yourself, dude! I don’t know what it is but there is something about her that is driving you insane. Must be her skills in bed, otherwise I can’t think of any reason why you’re acting like a total jerk.”
“That’s all you can think of, right? Fucking around? In case you haven’t noticed yet, there is something more in life than that.”
“Speak about yourself! At least I’m not the one who is turning into a pedophile these days.”
“You know what, fuck you, okay?!”
We gazed at each other, both our faces had turned red with anger and excitement, and I knew that a few years ago, we would have been about to start a fight with our fists. Luckily, those days lay behind us. I took a deep breath and then was the first to apologize. John nodded his head. “Yeah, I’m sorry, too. Didn’t mean to call you a pedophile. I know you’re not.”
“Nevermind. I know I’m kinda weird these days...”
“Indeed, yes. Man, I worry about you. You’ve had lots of crazy ideas over the years but this is... I don’t understand what it is all about.”
“Believe me, if I knew what this was all about, I’d be fucking glad”, I answered, “that’s why I asked you to come over, I just... I can’t handle this on my own.”
“Okay, and what do you want me to do? Shall I smack your head on the table and hope it makes you forget about it or what?” I laughed but John shook his head. “No, really, I have no idea what role I’m supposed to play in this.”
“That’s rather easy to explain.” It felt weird to use the word easy in this context. “I need to go and find her, and I want you to come with me. If I go on my own, I’ll end up – doing things I don’t want, and... I need someone around to kick my ass, if necessary. And to listen to Sarah and tell my I’m not crazy.”
John narrowed his eyebrows and scratched his more or less bald head. “And you think I’m the right person to do that?”
“You’re the only one I could think of”, I replied truthfully. John was someone you could laugh your ass off with, but he was also very sensitive and reasonable when it was necessary. Which it definitely was in this case. “I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t really need you, man.”
“I said it before, you’re my friend and if you need me, I’ll be there, I hope you know I would say that...” I nodded my head. “...but to be honest, what do you expect to happen when we go out there and really find that girl? What do you want from her?”
That was a good question. Actually it was so good that I didn’t really have an answer to it. “Uhm, well, I thought she might... I don’t know, maybe enable me to get in contact with this guy she’s been talking about, you know who...”
“The invisible mind-talker? You gotta be kidding me!” Before I could say anything, John raised both his hands. “Alright, alright... you know I don’t believe in such bullshit, and... okay, let’s assume that this guy really exists and she had not been lying to you, what are you gonna do then? If he exists, I mean, IF – what is he? A ghost? A demon? God? Shit, I sound totally insane!”
I smiled and lit another cigarette, and John looked at me like he was about to ask me for one as well although he had never been a smoker. “I know how you feel. Those are the kind of questions I’ve been asking myself for the last – I don’t know, and in my opinion, there are only two possible solutions. Sarah is either mentally distubed and I’m a naive old dork that believes her, or she’s been telling the truth and it’s some, uhm, personified supernatural power we have to deal with. Please don’t ask me what I’d prefer, I don’t know, hehe.”
John didn’t smile or even laugh. “If you weren’t the guy I’ve known for so many years, I’d flip a bird at you now and get the fuck out of here. Dude, I really hope it’s the first alternative, I’d rather have a friend who is a naive old dork than... whatever.”
“But you’re gonna come with me? To search for Sarah, I mean?”
“Sure... you have any idea where she’s most likely to be found?”
I told him about that certain place in the streets where I had met the girl twice so far. The place she had told me to stay away from. To be honest, I had a strange feeling in my stomach when I thought about going there, but on the other hand, I didn’t really have a choice, did I?! “The only thing I’m not sure about is since it’s not full moon tonight, she might not be there”, I added, causing John to flash me with a look that said more than words. “Why, is she a were-bitch? Ah, sorry, I didn’t... what does it all have to do with the full moon?”
“That’s just another thing I have no idea about”, I had to admit. My friend rolled his eyes and cleared the beer bottle. “I’d ask for another beer but I guess it’s better for me to stay sober... I assume you wanna go tonight, right?”
“Right...”
“Okay. But if that girl confesses that she’s been lying to you when she’s facing the two of us – which might happen, even though you won’t like it – I swear I’ll make sure that she never gets near you again, man, and there’ll be nothing you can do about it, you get me?”

I listen to a lot of Radiohead, that genre.
That's pretty mellow.
What's mellower than Radiohead !
