Chapter 5:

My mum descended the stairs and gave me a big hug. "Happy before birthday sweetie." She said with a big smile.

"I thought you were selling houses out of state." I said hugging her back tightly. I was so happy that my mum made it home for my birthday, I nearly forgot Patch was there.

"Yea I was, but I convinced my boss to let me come home early." She said happily. "So what do you have planned for your birthday? Anything special?"

"You'll have to ask him," I said nodding and turning towards Patch who had moved behind me to avoid the bear hug my mum gave me when she came down the stairs. "or Vee, for me it's a need to know situation." I said as I crossed my arms, rolled my eyes and, pouted a little. This made Patch's crooked half smile appear and I could tell he was holding back a laugh because he snickered a little.

"Oh, ok well then tonight, if you don't have any other plans, we can have a mother daughter night in."

I looked towards Patch and he said "I'll pick you up at 10:30am tomorrow." He gave me a smile and a kiss, said a polite goodbye to my mum, and was out the door. I waved at him just before he pulled away, then turned back to mum.

"Popcorn and a movie marathon?" I asked.

"Plus manicures and facials." My mum said as we walked into the kitchen. On the kitchen table there was a blue plastic bag, mum opened it and took out its contents. It contained a couple of facial masks and god knows how much nail polish, there were at least twelve shades of blue alone.

We got straight into it, putting some nail polish and facial masks on each other, I chose a nice fluro blue nail polish and a mask of nearly the same colour that said Blueberry and Peppermint, where as mum chose a vibrant red nail polish and a green mask that said Spearmint and Brazil Nut.

When our nail polish had dried and our masks had been peeled off it was 6:42pm. We decided it was time to order pizza, extra pepperoni for me and no anchovies for mum, but because we lived at least a mile from the next house, we had to pick it up at the shop. Mum said she'd go get it while I picked out some movie's and made the popcorn.

I went up the stairs and into my room where most of the DVD's are kept. I had just opened my bedroom door when I stopped dead in my tracks, I looked out of my window and saw a dark figure standing there. They were only there for a moment, but a letter was jammed under the closed window.

I crossed my room in 2 milliseconds, opened the window slightly, took the letter, then slammed the window shut and locked it.

I sat on my bed and opened the unaddressed letter and started reading.

Your nearly out of time, you have to get out NOW! He is coming for you and he's closer to you than you know. Trust me, you don't want him to get you, you must run far away and never stop running.

If you don't HE WILL GET YOU!

I sat there in shock for a while, what was I going to do? I could've called Patch. I should've called Patch, but that would mean no more girls night in and mum isn't home very often – plus the fact that she came home for ME for MY birthday – so I couldn't ruin that for her. Nothing bad happened when I get the other letter last time, so nothing would happen this time . . . hopefully.

I put the letter on my bedside table and went over to the DVD case. I searched through all of them and picked a couple of movies and a TV series (the three Pirates of the Caribbean movies – mum's favourite – and the first season of Moonlight – my favourite.)

I went down stairs and started making the popcorn. When it was about three quarters popped, mum opened the front door and walked into the kitchen. "Did you pick something good to watch?" mum asked as she set her handbag on the kitchen counter.

"Yep, I got your favourite."

"Great! I'll go put these on the coffee table, set up the movie and you can come join me once you put LOTS of icing sugar on the popcorn." She smiled at me sweetly and went off into the living room.

I knew how much mum liked her icing sugar, because when she makes popcorn all you can see is icing sugar, if you want the popcorn, you have to dip your hand in the icing sugar and grab it when you feel a lump.

I finished popping and icing the popcorn (nowhere near as much as mum does) and went into the living room, placed the popcorn next to the pizzas and sat down next to mum.

When I looked at the TV the menu for the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie was on the screen. I grabbed the remote, pressed play and me and mum curled up next to each other getting to spend some rare mother daughter bonding time with each other.

When the movies and TV series were finished I helped clean up the pizza and popcorn (which had gone everywhere) and looked at the clock. It was 3:26am so I told mum I was going to bed, went up into my room and closed the door behind me.

I looked into my room, a dark figure (which looked like the one that jumped off the roof outside my bedroom window earlier) was standing by my bedside table looking at the letter. I filled my lungs with air but he was over to me with his hand on my mouth just before I let I could let it out in a bloodcurdling scream. "Shhh Nora, it's just me." I COULDV'E SLAPPED HIM!
