Looking After You
Chapter 3 The monster is going to eat me!
"Ethan, time to go to bed!" I yelled while walking down the hall way towards his room.
"Five more minutes." He begged still playing with his car toys.
"I gave you five more minutes, five minutes ago." I said to him while leaning on the door frame.
"Pleeeeeeeeeease!" He drawled, looking up at me.
"Nope, we have lots to do tomorrow." I told him while helping him clean up his toys.
"Huh, fine." He huffed, and then crawled into his bed.
I tucked him into his bed and smoothed his hair down and kissed his head. As I got up to turn the light off and head to do the dishes from the chicken I'd cooked Ethan called me back.
"Yes Ethan?" I asked before I turned off the lights and turned around to face him.
"Will I'm scared that the monster is going to come back." He said in a low voice.
I walked back over to the side of his bed and tried to comfort him.
"Eth the monsters can't hurt you, I won't let them, I promise. And your dream catcher will most definitely catch any monsters who try to get into your head." I said giving him a loving hug.
"Ok." He answered back after I'd let go.
"Ok buddy see you in the morning, love you." I told him as I shut the light off and heard him answer back with a 'Love you to' and went out, leaving his door open.
I headed to the kitchen to clean up the dishes like I had before Ethan had gotten scared. I spent thirty minutes cleaning the little dishes from dinner then retired to bed after I had a nice shower. I thought Ethan would be fine for the night and maybe the 'monster' he'd seen outside his window was maybe just a shadow of a tree scaring him, but he believed it was more than just a shadow.
"Willow! Willow! Willow!" I heard him start to scream only a few minutes after I'd lain down to sleep.
I did what any older sister would do if they heard their baby brother screaming their head off, I ran as fast as I could to his room. It didn't take me but two seconds to make my way to his bed room and flick on the light then run over to the side of his bed.
"What? What happened? Are you hurt?" I questioned, checking frantically for any signs of injures.
"I saw it again." He whispered pointing to the window.
"Saw what?" I asked him.
"It came up to my window and then went that way." He explained shakily, and pointing to the right.
"It went around the house?" He nodded a yes to my question. "What did it look like?" I asked next.
"Like a huge dog that wanted to eat me." He whimpered launching into my arms and holding on tight to me.
"It's ok." I cooed over and over and finally let go of him. "I'm going to go and check it out, and you stay here. If I don't come back in a little bit then get the house phone and call the number in red on the fridge, ok?" I told him.
"Ok." He answered back nodding knowing the number to call in case of an emergency. The number for La Push Police Department was in red in case of anything going off beam.
I made my way to my room to get the shotgun I'd kept in a small shotgun in an equally small safe. Then I heard growling from outside and other sounds that suggested a brawl was going on. I hurried to get it and quickly made sure it had load shells in it. I then made my way out the front door with the small 26-inch shot gun in hand but the scene I was faced with was way more than my shotgun could handle.
There was an overgrown wolf in my front yard growling at the woods to the side of my house. It had russet fur which shone somewhat in the moonlight, and a growl that could put fear into any other thing on the planet.
"Oh my god." I whispered but I guess the wolf had very good hearing because it looked towards me which sent me backing up against the closed front door.
In that moment I saw something in the wolf's eyes I'd seen earlier but I couldn't recall it. While the wolf had its attention on me something tackled it quite hard from the woods where it had been growling. A loud thwap! filled the yard and I rushed inside and set the shotgun on the kitchen table and traded it for the house phone and called the La Push Police Department, when I got on the phone with them I put my shotgun up and ran to Ethan's room.
"Hello what is your situation?" A male asked.
"I just saw a huge wolf in my front yard." I replied shakily.
"It's okay ma'am things like this always happen, it was probably just on exploring. Just calm down and go back into your house and lock the door." He replied in a calm voice.
"You don't understand it got attacked by something and got hauled into the woods, it might come back please help." I pleaded knowing what I'd seen couldn't have been a trick of the moonlight.
"Okay ma'am, just calm yourself. Is anyone else with you?" He asked.
"Yes my five year old brother." I told him as I held Ethan.
"Don't worry if your this shook up I'll send someone over to check on you." He reassured me.
"Thank you." I sighed as Ethan held on to me.
"Just stay on to the phone until they come and stay calm." He instructed me.
"Ok." I told him.
Soon there was a cop car in the front of my house after I'd given the male my address and thanked him for sending them. I quickly got my robe from my bed room and told Ethan to stay inside while I talked to the police officer.
"What seems to be the problem ma'am?" Asked a young male cop with the name Michael Collins on his name tag.
"There was a huge wolf in my yard. It looked about ready to attack something." I told him.
"Okay what did it look like?" He asked.
"Ummm," I searched through my head thinking back and searching through the shock. "It had russet like fur and could have been at least three to four times as big as a regular wolf should have been."
"Did you consider that it might have been passing by and looking around the area?" He asked me as if I was stupid.
"It wasn't because it was growling at something in the trees over to the right side of the house; like that something was in its territory." I told him rubbing my forehead.
"I don't think it was after you, so naturally it wouldn't come back if you weren't a threat. I assure you that you'll be fine ma'am, if you have any more problems or concerns." He informed me before he walked off and back into his car.
'He probably thinks I'm crazy.' I thought to myself and sighed. I went back inside shutting the door behind me and saw that Ethan had fallen asleep on the couch while waiting for me. I carried him to my bed room, because I wasn't going to have him sleeping with whatever I saw outside.
"Will?" Ethan mumbled as I settled him down on my bed.
"It's ok buddy." I told him.
"I don't want to sleep alone." He mumbled to me.
"It's ok you're going to sleep with me tonight." I assured him while lying down next to him and smoothing his hair down like I always did.
I only slept a little that night while I listened for sounds of the returning of a possible threat. As I looked at my clock and it read 4:00 AM I presumed it was ok to get four to five hours of sleep before job and kindergarten hunting.
*Morning 7:30*
The annoying sound of my alarm clock went off and I had decided at that moment that we could put off job and kindergarten hunting since it wouldn't be the smartest choice since the scare last night and me not getting much sleep. Besides my job would only be for clothes, food (which we had already) and any other things where extra money came in since about a years' worth of bills would be easily paid off with all of the money I'd worked hard for while living with my best friend Joni.
I turned it off and let me and Ethan sleep a little while longer until I thought we'd be rested up enough to go shopping for tonight's dinner while in Forks.
Hoped you liked it! Review please.
