So I just started this kinda wanna see where I can go with this. Let me know what you all think. c:
Tori could feel a headache coming on. She was lightly pushing her friend towards the front door. She stole a glance at her watch. The flight was leaving in about an hour, and here she was still suffering through her friend's endless reminders.
"So all my contact numbers are on the fridge."
"Cat…" said Tori, but it was no use. The short redhead's mouth just kept going. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that Tori had heard all of it already. She knew what her duties were. Cat had told her enough times. Plus, she had it all in writing, courtesy of Cat.
"There's money on my dresser for any expenses."
"Cat…" tried the brunette again. This time she was a little more firm. Still, it was no use.
"I've written down my itinerary-"
"Cat!" Once the brunette was sure she had her friend's attention, she smiled and said, "I got it. We've been through all this already. You need to stop worrying and go. You're going to miss your flight."
Cat took a breath. "You're right, Tori. I'm just nervous. I've never been away from Robbie for more than a day." The short brunette turned her attention to Robbie, her golden retriever. She got on her knees, and gave her dog a big hug.
"Oh, I am going to miss you so much, Robbie-poo." She ruffled his ears. "Be a good boy, okay? Tori's in charge. Don't give her a hard time." The dog only barked in response. Cat hugged him one last time and got up. Both girls heard a honking.
"Cat, if you don't go, the cab's going to leave without you." Tori had offered to drive her friend to the airport, but she had refused. She said something about not wanting Robbie to be alone on the day that she was leaving.
"His ass is so fired if he does that," Cat replied. She grabbed her best friend for a hug. "Thanks again see you in a month!"
Tori, along with Robbie, watched from the doorway as the cab disappeared in the distant. Robbie started to whine. It was as if he knew his mommy wasn't going to be back anytime soon. When it was completely gone, she looked down at the dog. "So…what do you want to do?" Robbie looked at her with a bored expression, then went to go lay down in his favorite corner. Tori just stared at him. "Well, it was nice hanging out with you too." The brunette shut the door and made her way to the room she'd be sleeping in for the next month. She figured she'd might as well get settled in.
Later that night Tori was awoken by a noise. She laid very still and listened again. Silence. The brunette was about to go back to sleep when she heard the noise again. The first noise sounded more like a thud. This second one was a voice. She couldn't tell what was said but she knew it was a voice. Instinctively, she reached towards her night stand for her phone. It wasn't there. She panicked for a second as she moved her hand around the nightstand. Tori cursed under her breath when she remembered that she had left it in the kitchen earlier. She was in the process of verbally abusing Cat in her mind for not having a phone in the guestroom when she heard the creak of the door being open. Her panic returned instantly.
Quietly, Tori got out of bed. She needed to get to a phone. The closest one she could think of was in Cat's room. With the gentlest of steps, she walked across the room towards the door. She said a million 'thank you's' in her head when she got the door open without it creaking. She tiptoed into Cat's room and grabbed the phone. She turned it on and almost dropped it when she heard the sound of a man's voice coming through. She turned off the phone quickly. What kind of intruder uses the phone? Frantically, her mind was trying to come up with solutions. Should she try to take on the intruder? Should she try to leave? Tori knew if she tried to make a run for it, she'd have to find a way to take Robbie with her. Cat would kill her if she left the dog behind. How was she going to be able to escape with a dog in tow? It wasn't like he was small. Then, a thought hit her.
She could use Robbie on the intruder. Granted, the dog wasn't capable of even hurting a fly, but the intruder then know that. With her mind made up, she made her way downstairs. Tori momentarily froze on the stairs when she saw that the kitchen light was on. He turned on the light? I would get a stupid shook her thoughts and continued to make her way towards the living room.
She found Robbie sleeping in his favorite spot. The intruder wasn't being the quietest and Robbie was just sleeping through it. Worthless dog.
"Robbie!" whispered Tori. The dog jerked awake. He looked at her briefly before closing his eyes again. "Wake up! There's someone in the house." Robbie just laid there. Tori closed her eyes and counted to ten.
"Come on," she whispered. Robbie whined but followed her. They made their way to the doorway of the kitchen. The intruder was facing them but was crouched down going through a duffel bag. Tori mentally prepared her voice to be fierce and foreboding. Unfortunately, her voice didn't get that memo.
"Don't move!" came Tori's cracked voice. "I've got a dog here that won't hesitate to have you for his midnight snack." The intruder looked up at her then Robbie. Tori watched as an evil smile formed on a face that was way too pale. She watched as the owner of that evil smile slowly got up and started coming closer to her.
So I'll try to update in a timely matter along with my other story but I've been a bit of a flake but this time I'll try to keep my word.
