The Rain that brought happiness
The next few weeks went by very nicely and very considerately. There hadn't been much excitement for the rest of the valley except for Jack and I. We started spending very high amounts of time with each other and time- to-time I took a tour of his farm speaking to him or his animals or his dog that seemed to accept me on his territory. Jack and I had the best conversations and I was beginning to feel that special relationship that I said I needed in order to marry a man. Though, we weren't really ready yet, because Jack and I had a few things to do before either of us thought of being married.
But I didn't spend all of my days with Jack. I had to work as well and Griffin seemed to be getting more and more tense and unsociable. I attempted curing it by being nicer and more obedient and it worked. I didn't know what he was tense about, but it must've been something that he was worried about.
Then came the night that changed Jack and I completely.
"Muffy." Came the grunt voice of Griffin. "I need you to go out and get some supplies."
"Out in the dark?" I asked meekly, turning around to an open window, which displayed the valley in the nighttime area.
"Well, yeah." Griffin said as if it were nothing. And it hadn't been...except for the fact that I didn't exactly trust the night and what was in it.
"Okay then." I said, going into the air of the night.
The silence startled me at first. No birds were chirping and the crickets didn't make a noise. Pogo wasn't barking, (Jack's Dog) and Gustafa wasn't playing his guitar. Most of the lights weren't on in the valley, only a few were up and bright. I expected Jacks' to be as he was a farmer and he'd be well into the night trying to catch up on all of his farm work. It was around 6:00 and yet it was extremely black. I also heard footsteps and I figured that might have been Jack. But Jack's farm was ahead of me. There couldn't be any way that Jack was behind me. I was halfway to the Inn when I heard the footsteps stop when I stopped. I looked around curiously and startled and began to walk just a little faster.
The footsteps were getting louder and louder and I could feel them behind me. I looked around to see a few silhouettes.
I immediately stopped and froze in my place. My whole body seemed to turn off and I couldn't move. They took another step closer and I took one back finally. I broke into a full throttle run and I saw the closest light was at Jack's house.
I turned up to see that Jack's lights were off, except in the barn, and I burst in to find him feeding a sick sheep he had. I was panting without stop. My feet felt as if they were about to break into the heels they were set in. It wasn't the right night to where these shoes...
"Muffy!" Jack exclaimed confused but ran over nevertheless.
"Someone's out there! Someone's out there behind the..." I began to pant but Jack put his fingers to my lips and opened the door, ran out and told me to stay in the barn. I blinked blankly and leaned on the wall, then figuring it wasn't worth it, I fell down, my back scratching up on the wooden wall. The sheep bleated at me and I saw his tail wag slightly. I ran my fingers through his wool on his head and smiled. "You're so soft..." I said, trying to control my tears. "I bet Jack takes very good care of you..." I looked at the green chalkboard that held all the animals' names. "Patrick."
Patrick wagged his tail and flickered his ears. I stood up once again and Jack came in. He looked at me seriously.
"I didn't see anyone in the farm but I saw some moving objects in the distance. It could just be that turtle or the raccoon but I'd feel better if you stayed at my house tonight."
"So would I." I said truthfully. "I'm sorry to intrude and everything..."
"I'm glad that you came. I wouldn't want you hurt." Jack said, and together we walked to Jack's house.
The house was more or less a room. In the corner a small, no, very small kitchen was set up, then to the right of me there was a bookshelf filled with books and notes on animals and crops. Then a small single bed was ahead of me, it looked that it could just fit two people.
"Sorry it's a mess..."
"Oh no! It's cozy. It's small but it's really quaint!" I said with a giggle. Jack smiled happily.
"I'll let you leave tomorrow morning. It's starting to rain now, really heavy too. I haven't seen rain like this since the hurricane."
"Yeah, it is getting bad." I said, viewing the rain with Jack. The rain continued to pour as it became well into the night. I sat on the bed, but couldn't bring myself to sleep. Jack, who seemed to be alert watching the window for any intruder looked back and sat on the bed with me. "Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry." I said.
"For what?"
"For coming here. I was probably just panicking."
"I'm still not going to let you leave." Jack said sternly. It's still pouring out there and if there is someone and...the worst...happens, I'm never going to forgive myself because you'd never forgive me."
"I would've forgiven you." I said meekly, yawning. Jack looked sleepily at me and sighed.
"You're still not leaving. Besides, I have Pogo out there. You need me to ward him off."
"I don't think so. Pogo and I have been getting along."
"Whatever you say Muffy." Jack said and he lie down on the bed, and fell asleep. He was obviously tired; it was one o'clock so I didn't blame him.
But he looked so sweet.
He was sweet. Jack had always been sweet. Sweet to me, sweet to his animals, sweet to the people around him. I lay down beside him and watched him sleep some more. I wouldn't be able to leave now; he said I shouldn't leave.
But I wanted to leave him in peace.
I looked out the window just at that moment and I saw something moving right outside. It went back and forth and seemed to be waiting for the door to open. It began walking up to the house and I turned off all the lights and I alerted Jack.
"Jack, I'm sorry...but look outside."
A/N: Now you guys should tell me what happens. The next chapter will probably have a higher rating...but either way, you know. No big deal. But I'm stumped as to what I should write next! What should Jack and Muffy do? Who is the stalker, and what will happen to him when Jack, or if, gets to him? SO KEEP REVIEWING!
