EDDIE'S POV
"You're my hero," she said.
After being kidnapped by Frobisher, Patricia was traumatized. I felt like such a bad guy for not watching over her. Now I'll have to watch her like a hawk. No one's ever going to try to take my yacker away from me ever again.
PATRICIA'S POV
After trying to escape from Frobisher, I was exhausted. Last night, I hadn't slept a wink. All I wanted was some sleep, but as we walked back to the house, Eddie wouldn't let me out of his sights.
"Eddie, I'm ok; I'm safe now," I tried.
"No," he began, "now that you've seen Frobisher he's going to try even harder to get you on his side."
I sighed because I knew this wouldn't be easy. "Eddie, everything's going to be alright. Let's just get back to the house and get some sleep." I tugged at his hand that was clasped to mine.
"But what if Frobisher tries to kidnap you while you're asleep? That's what he did the first time," he said wide-eyed.
"Eddie, I don't think Frobisher would try to get me two times in one night. You knocked him out remember?" I tried to convince.
"Yacker, what don't you get about I'm not leaving you?" Eddie laughed.
I sighed again knowing that he wouldn't let me sleep alone tonight. "Fine," I said in surrender.
EDDIE'S POV
"Fine," she gave up.
I realize that I'm being a bit over protective, but if I lost Patricia to Frobisher, I don't know if I'd be able to get her back. I'm not going to let Frobisher near her ever again.
I lead Patricia threw the woods the way I had came. I finally made my way to where the woods opened up to the Frobisher library. I originally went around the library and then ran towards the gatehouse, but now I wondered if it would be safer to just go through the tunnels and then come out in the cellar. I finally decided that Frobisher would go looking for us in the woods so we should go through the tunnels. I started to lead Patricia in the direction of the library.
"Where are we going now, doofus?" Patricia spoke.
"It's safer to go through the tunnels than to wander through the woods," I replied.
She must have thought so too because she didn't have a counter. I opened the door and was immediately taken aback by all the dust. I waved my hand around to try to clear the air and Patricia did the same. I found it strange considering we were in the library not even a year ago. This kind of dust should have been sitting here for at least 20 years. Strange.
I disregarded my thoughts long enough to open the secret door to the tunnels and lead Patricia and me in. I then saw no dust at all. We crawled through the tunnels until we could stand. There was barely any dust in the tunnels at all. My thoughts finally went into place as the tunnel door right behind us snapped shut. A locking sound clicked into place just as I turned around. Frobisher must have suspected that we would be in the library. There must be more booby traps in the library and all that dust was just a distraction.
I hit the door and confirmed it was locked well. I took a few steps back and then sprinted towards the door. At full speed, I crashed into the door without even moving it the slightest bit. I toppled to the floor feeling very drained. Patricia rolled her eyes then helped me up. She fished her phone out of her pocket then pressed it to her ear.
"No signal. Nice going, Weasel," Patricia barked.
"Hey, at least he won't come back until tonight and by then we'll be out of here," I assured.
"Ugh," Patricia muttered as she walked into the tunnels. I rolled my eyes and walked beside her. We walked passed a few rooms until we got to a dead end.
"What!?" I exclaimed.
"Last year there was a wall here, and Nina had to crawl through a another smaller tunnel with bugs and skulls to knock the wall down," Patricia explained.
"Oh ok, so I'll just crawl through the tunnel while you wait here," I smiled and my hand tightened around hers.
Patricia looked pale and she was breathing heavily. "What's wrong?" I worried. "Are you worried that Frobisher will kidnap you again because I promise that will never happen again, not with me here."
"Nope," she breathed.
My brow crinkled. "Then what?" She didn't reply, but her eyes watered. Now I was getting scared. "What is it, baby?"
She took a deep breath then said, "The tunnel that opens that door is on the other side of this wall."
