"Let you in? I don't even know who or what you are." I say.

"Don't you worry about that." He says.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Just a friend." He says.

"A friend? We've never met." I say.

"I'd like to offer you a deal." He says.

I draw back.

"A deal? Are you nuts?" I ask.

"Follow everywhere I go, top over mountains or valley low, give you everything you've been dreaming of just let me in." He smiles.

"Everything I've been dreaming of?" I ask.

A butterfly forms in his hand. Many come out from his hair as if they were hiding in the grass. It flies over to me. He blows cool air out of his mouth, I feel it graze over my wound. Surprisingly, it heels. The bandages drop. I look at him in surprised.

"I can do so much more for you." He says.

He walks over to me. He's taller, not by much, but by some. He runs his hand down my shoulder. What was happening? I can hear a song playing in my ears. It sounds beautiful yet... where was it coming from. He looks directly at me.

"I can help you. You'll be safe under my control." He lifts my head up with one of his fingers.

"Control?" I ask.

"I can give you everything you need. What more do you want, what more you plead?" He asks.

"What... I need." I repeat.

"Everything you ever wanting going to be the magic story you were told, and you'll be safe under my control just let me in." He says.
