Chapter 3 - Inside the killers mind

I have been watching her for weeks, she is everything I was taught to look for. The way she walks, how she carries herself, the vibrance of her hair and eyes. She is the one, the savior I have been raised to protect.

She works at a small law firm on the other side of town, mistreated and overworked. Underappreciated by everyone who knows her, great leaders are often ignored before they show their true purpose. I need to find a way to save her, to prepare her for what is to come. Only she can stop what is coming, not I alone. We must work together to give God what he desires most to keep our planet alive, and to bring life back to the sun before it is too late.

I was too careless today, I got too close before I was ready to act. I just needed to see her again. Everything about her makes my heart beat faster, the anticipation rising up in the back of my throat. Her golden hair weaves so effortlessly through the wind as she walks, her eyes and how they glisten when she speaks. I need to be smart, I cannot have a repeat of the last.

¨Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!!!" I couldn't help but yell at myself....slamming my head against the brick wall of her apartment building. ¨Why did you leave the note? Why are you being so hasty?!" I need to control myself. The last girl wasn´t the chosen one, I can rest easy knowing I can rule that down as a practice run.

¨Claramond, my sweeeeettttt Claramonnddddd¨ I couldn't help but sing happily as I retreated to my car. Everything about her makes me want to sing. ´I wonder if she is thinking about me right now? If she is reading my note I so carefully prepared just for her.....´ I let my thoughts trail off as I jumped into the driver's seat. Today I was driving a Toyota something or other, no idea, don´t care much cause I won´t have this for longer than a day. The sunset seemed eerier tonight as if God was letting me know that the time for action is coming soon. I need to get ready and make sure that my place is satisfactory for the savior.

´I hope she accepts me....she needs to in order for this to work. We need to work together to stop this apocalypse, to save the world. I can give her time if she needs it....´ I slowly pulled around the bend towards my cabin, secluded and dark perfect for those who don´t want to be bothered much. I park the car behind the cabin and make my way to the front door, the sun was gone....the darkness seemed to envelop me as I tread forwards. Is this what love is? Being so blind that even the darkness feels warm? Even then in the darkness, can one find love?

FOCUS.....Cyrus...we need to FOCUS! A voice shook through me as I walked through my door, a representation of the reason that kept me steady. Leads me through the darkness toward salvation, the hand that feeds. PREPARE yourself.....for the savior is here...in her, all life will succeed...bearer of salvation...

Her room was almost ready, the walls were lined with fairy lights twinkling like the stars in the dark night sky. A king-size bed with canopy curtains for privacy, only the best will be accepted here. The television and kitchen area is prepped and the food is fully stocked. What else could a girl need? Entertainment, food and a place to sleep, a girl so beautiful shouldn't have to worry about money or comfort. I will take care of everything. I will provide for the savior.

I hum to myself as I adjust the pillows on the bed, making sure that they all align perfectly and are fluffed for comfort. I straighten up the fur rug on the floor in front of the fireplace I installed for warmth. It can get pretty cold in the cabin at night so we don´t want the savior to be cold. She must be protected until it comes time for us to go before God.

I look over the room one last time before going back to my chambers. It was getting a bit late and I needed to be ready for observation tomorrow. Keeping an eye on the savior is no easy task, especially when it has to go unseen. I was too hasty in the diner, it won´t happen again. Closing the door behind me I close the latch and click the lock to ensure everything stays in pristine condition. Turning towards my chambers I lose myself in thought, thinking about the future and what could be. How happy Claramond will be when she sees what I've prepared just for her. How grateful she will be to have a place to rest until the final day comes.

I jump into my bed and roll myself in my thick blanket like a cocooned butterfly. The warmth slowly started to creep into my body dragging me into my slumber. That is enough planning for tonight, I have more tomorrow, for now, all I need to do is sleep. Now I can dream of what is to come, how peace will overcome all of us, and we can all rest.
