Here's Chapter 2!

Chapter 2 - A Walk Encounter


It was the following day and we were back home now. It was a long few hour drive due to Faith still asking me questions about the guy that I didn't even know the name of.

Oh well. I had never seen him around the neighborhood before I doubt I'll see him again….right? Right.

"We'll be back soon. We're going to go out for lunch. You sure you don't want to come?" Faith asked as her and Kevin headed for the door.

"Positive." I nodded, holding Coco in my arms.

"Come on, I won't talk about-" I glared at her. "You know who…"

"Who?" Kevin asked, confused.

"Don't worry about it. Besides, I'll rather stay home with Coco." I replied, heading back towards the couch. "I'll see yah later."

"Okay fine." Faith rolled her eyes. "See yah."

"Bye." Kevin said. I waved as they headed out the door and went to sit down on the couch.

After a half a hour, I grew bored. There was nothing on TV and my phone was charging.

"Coco?" I got her attention in my lap. "Wanna go for a walk?"

Her ears perked up and she jumped off my lap and headed to the door.

"I'll take that as a yes." I said and got up too.

Once her leash was on and I had my shoes on too, I opened the door and decided to walk around the block.

See, we lived in a safe neighborhood so I had no need to grab my phone. All I really needed was my keys that I kept on a lanyard and around my neck as I walked Coco.

It was a gorgeous day. The sun was out but it was still a bit windy. All I needed was some rain and it'll be a perfect day for me.

"Hello, darling." That same British voice said behind me.

After jumping a mile, I thought I was just hearing things. But when I turned around, sure enough, he was there. In what looked like the same black suit as last night.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you." He said as he took a step forward. "I'm afraid I didn't catch your name last night?"

"It's Lexi." I replied. "What's yours?"

"Crowley." He said in a slightly seductive way.

Or at least I thought it was. I don't know…maybe it was just the fact that I have a crush…Haha, no you don't, Lexi. Don't let Faith get to you.

He took another step towards me, which I had noticed right as I got out of my thoughts and took a step back. Coco, sensing I didn't know the guy at all, placed herself in-between us.

"Cute dog. What's her name?" Crowley asked.

"Coco." I replied.

"Pretty old, huh?" Crowley questioned, kneeling down and letting her sniff his hand. Her tail wagged and walked back over to and sat down by me.

'Oh. So is he okay in your mind?' I thought to myself, looking at Coco.

"She's 15 years old now. That said, I should probably head home. I only walk her around the block once before I let her sleep all day." I said.

"Probably for the best." Crowley agreed.

"How exactly did you find me?" I ask, looking back to him.

"I have my ways." He shrugged.

"So…you're a stalker?" I questioned.

"No." He laughed. "We just so happen to stay at the same motel last night."

"Right. A guy with a expensive suit staying at that crappy place? Give me a break, man." I said, catching the lie.

"Okay so I stayed in a hotel." He changed his story. "But I decided to stay one more night so I got a motel room."

"Makes better sense." I shrugged. "Can I go now?"

"I wasn't keeping you here." Crowley said.

"Right…" I replied and started to walk past him, not keeping eye contact with him, less I want to have sweat drop down my back again from being nervous around him.

Once I was a ways down the sidewalk, I turned back and saw he was gone. I stopped and looked around. How did he get away that quickly? I didn't see or hear a car or anything!

Oh no he was a ghost or some sort of monster, wasn't he? Well, he didn't look like a ghost. But he had to of been something to get away that quickly. Coco didn't even seem bothered by him!

I rushed inside the house after unlocking the door and immediately locked it again once I was inside. Then I got my phone and texted Faith that I had seen the guy again and right in our neighborhood too.

Sitting down on the couch, Coco and our cats joined me. I decided to watch TV to move my attention from that encounter.

My phone then began to buzz on the coffee table. I saw it was Faith texting me back.

Faith: No way! Really?

Me: Yes! Apparently his name is Crowley.

Faith: Oh so you talked to him! Yay!

Me: Not yay! I was walking Coco when he suddenly appeared behind me and startled the Hell out of me too!

Faith: How did Coco react?

Me: Weary at first but after sniffing him she seemed to like him.

Faith: See? Maybe he is a cool guy. I mean, Crowley is a cool name.

Me: Are you forgetting the fact that he was IN our NEIGHBORHOOD! Not to mention the fact that when I walked away a bit, I turned around and he was gone!

Faith: No car?

Me: No! Nothing! He just disappeared! I don't think he's a ghost but he has to be something that can move fast!

Faith: Want us to come home?

Me: No it's okay. Just wanted to let you know that I saw him again. I have a weapon on me at all times anyway.

Faith: Maybe you're overreacting. Just relax. We'll be back soon.

Me: Yeah…maybe. See yah soon.

I put my phone down and looked back at the TV. This was definitely weird but maybe I was just overreacting. After all, I didn't turn back right away. It was a few minutes later. Giving him plenty of time to leave.

- A few hours later -

Some time later, Kevin and Faith came back home and I unlocked the door for them, after making sure it was them.

"So have you seen him around again?" Faith asked, coming into the living room.

"No." I shook my head. "I've been watching the windows but haven't seen anything suspicious."

"Maybe it was just by odd chance." Kevin said.

"Maybe." I replied.

"Or….maybe he likes you too!" Faith said.

"And followed us home like a stalker? Faith, we've been in this business for a few years now. You know we can't just shrug something like this off."

"I know but you don't have to keep looking on the bad side of things." She said, picking up her orange cat and sitting down.

"I got to." I replied, looking down. "No other choice, really."

"You still think about that huh?" She asked and I nodded, sadly. "Sam and Dean took care of it. Plus, we're both hunters now and save lives to make sure what happened to us, doesn't happen to anyone else."

"Doesn't change how you can't trust everyone just like that. Even before that incident I had trust issues. Anyone could be a monster without the proper tests being done to be sure." I replied.

"True." Faith nodded. "Well, we'll watch each other. Especially if he's still hanging around the neighborhood. It is creepy that he was here of all places like he knew where to find you."

"At least we can agree on that." I smiled to her as I pet Coco.
