It was 9pm when Kai delivered Hilary to her house safely. Crickets in the clean cut grass chirped and moths fluttered joyously around the street lights. Kai noticed that tyhere were no lights on inside the house.
'Aren't your parents home?' he asked.
Hilary bit her lip distastefully.
'They're never home.' she muttered, 'They're always at work. They leave before i wake up and come home when I'm asleep. If they didn't leave me notes of the fridge, I'd think they weren't even there. The only time I ever see them is on the weekends, and even then, I only see them for a few minutes.'
Kai looked to her then back the her house. He took her hand and walked up to the door.
'Then I'll stay here and protect you.'
'What?' Hilary was incredilous, 'N-no you can't! What if my parents come home and see you? They'll kill me!'
'What if Kevin desides to come and visit tonight?' Kai asked.
He stuck his hand into her jeans pocket.
'Hey!' she said indignantly, 'Do you mind?'
'Not at all,' Kai replied simply, pulling out her keys.
'Have you no respect for female privacy?'
'Nope.'
At least he's honest... Hilary thought.
Kai unlocked the door and walked in. Hilary walked in behind him and flicked on the lights. The house was large and simple. Off to the left was the lounge room and a hall leading down to the kitchen. Infront of the were stairs leading to the second floor and to the right was the living room.
'Nice place,' said Kai.
'You should really go,' even though Hilary really wanted him to stay, 'Your parents would be getting worried.'
'They're dead,' Kai said simply.
'I'm sorry,' Hilary said. 'I didn't-'
'Don't be sorry,' Kai said, 'It's not your fault.'
There was silence for a few moments then Hilary pointed her thumb towards the kitchen.
'Um...you want something to eat?' she asked.
'Sure,' Kai walked into her kitchen.
Hilary sighed and walked in behind him. Kai stood at the bench that curled around the kitchen. He notice a neat message on the frige, written in black white-board marker.
Hilary, There's some food in the fridge for your meals. Make sure you take out the rubbish. See you. Mum and Dad.
Hilary saw the message and rubbed it off with a cloth. She opened the fridge and pulled out some fod for Kai.
'You know you don't have to stay here,' she said avoiding his eyes.
'Yes, I do,' said Kai firmly, 'There's no one else here to protect you, so I will.'
Hilary smiled.
'Okay then, are you going to stay here all night?'
'Yes,' he said
'Okay. Tomorrow, Tyson wanted us to come over.' Hilary said, 'We have to go alright?'
Hilary smiled. Kai could tell it was forced.
She's worried about tomorrow and about Kevin. he thought.
The telephone began ringing. Hilary jumped in fright. Kai looked over at it casually. Hilary hurried over to it and answered.
'Hello?'
'Hey there babe,'
'Kevin!'
Hilary looked at Kai.
'Put it on speaker,' he mouthed to her.
Hilary nodded and obeyed. She cleared her throat.
'I thought I told you to come over!' Kevins voice sounded irritated.
'I-I couldn't,' Hilary stuttered, 'I had to go home.'
'Why!'
'Because my parents wanted me home,'
'Don't lie to me!'
Hilary's heart missed a beat in fright.
'I'm not lying!' she said, 'They wanted me to take out the rubbish.'
There was a was pause. Kai felt a cold hatred for Kevin.
'Fine!' Kevin said finally, 'Make sure you turn up tomorrow! See you at the movies!'
Kevin hung up the phone. Hilary sank to her knees and breathed heavily, holding a hand over her heart. Kai knelt beside her.
'I'll be there with you tomorrow,' he said. 'He wont hurt you. I'll make sure of it!'
Hilary's ruby eyes brimmed tears but she blinked them back and smiled at Kai.
'Thankyou,' she said, 'I don't know what I'd do without you.'
Kai smiled. His smile was so beautiful. Hilary felt like melting.
----
Kai rocked back in a chair in Hilary's room. It was now midnight, and Hilary had gone to sleep in her bed. Kai glanced at her sleeping form. She had given him a pillow and some blankets and said he could sleep in the spare room, but Kai insisted on watching her until she went to sleep. He looked at his watch, which read 12:01am. He stopped rocking on the chair and stood up. A noise downstairs caught his attention. He left her room, closing her door quietly and krept don the hall to the top of the stairs. He heard voices. It was only Hilary's parents. He breathed a sigh of relief and went to the guest room. He closed the door and flopped down on the double bed sleepily. He stared at the pale ceiling for what seemed like ages.
What is Kevin Baxter's problem? Why does he want Hilary so bad? If he tries anything tomorrow that may hurt Hilary, I'll kill him!
Kai yawned and soon, drifted into a peacefull slumber.
