Chapter 2:
Patch had just left to go plan my big 16th and Dorothea the housekeeper went home about an hour ago so I was now home alone, and it was about tea time so I went to the kitchen to see what we had in the fridge. I found what I guessed used to be leftover roast once upon a time and decided that its time in the fridge had come to an end. I put it in the trash can, pulled out the garbage bag and went to put it in the big trash can outside.
I had just put the lid on the big trash can when I got that icey tingle down the back of my spine, I get that feeling every time someone, or something's watching me. I looked around, wondering who would be around the farmhouse this time of night (or at all). It wouldn't be Dorothea, she went home ages ago, and it wasn't Patch, he only left for Vee's ten minuets ago, and that's how long it takes to get there from my house, plus Vee wouldn't let him go home for at least five hours, or until they had most of the party sorted.
I didn't see anyone there although I knew someone was watching. The feeling was unnerving, so I quickly walked back to the house, went back to the kitchen and sifted through the fridge again looking for something eatable, when my eyes fell upon last night's stir fry. I decided to have some rice with it too so it took a while to get my dinner ready.
After I finished my dinner and washed up, I did my some of my English homework and decided I deserved some luxury time, so I went upstairs and had a shower. When I had finished washing my hair I turned the shower off, dried off, got dressed and went back downstairs to watch some TV.
When I got downstairs I walked into the living room and turned on the plasma. It was Friday night so there were some good movies on, there was an Underworld marathon on so I decided to watch that. Since it was already about halfway through the first movie I decided to make popcorn, but as I walked down the hall towards the kitchen, I noticed a letter had been slid beneath the door. I looked at it to see who it was addressed to, but it was blank. I decided to open it anyway.
He'll come for you once you turn 16. Get away, as far as possible. He won't stop until he has you, you are what he desires most in this world.
RUN!
I sprinted to my room where my phone was on charge and called Patch right away. He answered on the fourth ring.
"Hey Angel, what's up?"
"Patch, I just received a letter and I think you should see it, like, right now!"
"I'll be there in five." He said before he hung up.
That was the first time I was glad that Patch had no regards for the law, but I was worried because I knew that it would take at least two minuets to convince Vee to let him go. Still he got to my house in three minuets anyway, which was a new record and smashed the old one. I opened the front door and he was up the porch steps in one big step and I let him inside, then closed the door behind him.
"I'm glad you got here so quickly but, how did you do it? No matter how fast you drive you couldn't get here that quickly." I asked curiously. Patch had a black motorbike, I don't know which kind it was, all I can tell you that it was fast. It was even faster when he was driving it with me on the back. But there was still no way he could make the – normally – ten minute drive from Vee's to mine in three minutes.
"The beauty of wings Angel, I ditched my bike a block from Vee's and flew the rest of the way here." Of course he did, I thought "So Angel, you said you had a letter that I really needed to see."
"Oh yea, ah, here." I said reaching into my pocket to pull out the letter. He read it very carefully, studying the handwriting was my guess, then he said.
"Do you have any idea who sent this to you or who the letter is talking about?" he asked.
"No, sorry, but earlier, about ten minuets after you left, I went to put the rubbish in the trash can outside and I felt as if someone was watching me. I didn't see anyone and nothing happened to me so I just came back inside."
"When did you find the letter?"
"Five minuets ago."
He stood there a while in thought "Well there's not really anything I can do for now since you don't know who sent the letter." He said while stroking his chin in thought, as he often did.
"That's ok, so how's the party planning going?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Uh-uh Angel, top secret, need to know only, Vee has kinda turned it into a surprise party." He said smirking wildly, but there was a hidden worry behind that smile and I knew it was because he was worrying about what the letter had said.
"Vee and surprise in the same sentence make for a very, very dangerous mix."
"Just be glad you didn't let Vee plan this party on her own, I can't tell you how big it would be if I wasn't there tying her down. I've made some serious changes to everything."
"Such as?" I asked, knowing I was pushing my luck.
He tapped his nose with his finger "Like I said, need to know." He said giving me his secret grin.
I sighed deeply making him laugh then he put on his dark smile and stared at me eagerly.
"What is it now?" I asked with suspicious curiosity.
"I think we should take that letter seriously," he said, his smile growing wider. "so I think I better stay here for the night, just to make sure nothing happens." His smile grew into a lopsided smirk and he pulled me close to him, wrapping his hands around my waist.
"I think that could be arranged." I said smirking just as much as he was, until his smile grew even more and he brought his lips down to mine, kissing me passionately.
"So . . . I'll just go get the guest room prepared for you then shall I?" I asked him, once we both pulled back for air.
That earned me another lopsided smile "I think that we should stay as close as possible incase something bad happens, then again, me. You. Alone. In the same room. Something's bound to happen, though I wouldn't call it bad." He grinned like a moron and I gave him a playful slap on the cheek.
"Don't go getting any dark ideas, nothing's gonna happen . . . much." That made his grin widen and I turned away and walked up the stairs to my room with him following close behind.
