WHISPER IN THE WOODS

Hey guys,
sorry it's been so long. Here's the next chapter.

CHAPTER 5: Would you hurt me?

Patch and I decided to just watch tv in his house all day. We watched horror movies. My favourite. It also kept Mind off Patch being a wolf. I was pretty scared. I mean wouldn't you be? Wouldn't you fear for your life?

Patch suddenly turned off the tv with the remote and looked at me. He looked sad and a little angry.

"Why are you scared of me?" He asked
"I'm not" I lied, while looking down at my hands.
"Look at me" I did, slowly "I know you're scared and I don't blame you. Im scared of me. What can i do?" I stayed silent. "Do you want me to go away?"
"NO, don't go. Please don't go" Patch nodded.
"What can I do?" I didn't know. What could he do? He looked deep into my eyes. "Ask me your first question. I know you want to ask" well... I did want to ask.
"How are you like this?"
"I was born like this" Patch replied.
"Are you family like this?" He looked away from me and down at the floor.
"My family...." He started to say but stopped. A frown appeared on his face and I could have sworn he was tearing up.
"It's ok" I whispered, taking his hand. He smiled at the floor quickly before returning to his frown. I didn't know what to say. Was there anything I could say? "I'm sorry for bringing it up"
"It wasn't your fault. You didn't know"
"I believe you. Everything. I know you can't hurt me. Your too kind and gentle. How could I possibly think otherwise? I'm sorry for that too"'
"Don't be. I don't blame you for thinking that"
I put my arms around him and hugged him, tightly. Patch's arms hooked around me. Now I couldn't let go even if I wanted to. And I didn't want to.

An hour later I wanted to go to bed. Everything had calmed down a little and I was sat close to patch. Really close. Tired. I remembered I was still at patch's house. Where would i sleep? I'd have to go home. It's already 11:35pm. It's too late.
"I should go" I whispered, sitting up properly and rubbing my eyes"
"You could spend the night here, if you want" He replied.
"Where would I sleep?"
"You could sleep on my bed. Ill stay on the couch" Really? He would do that?
"Thanks but you don't have to do that for me" He smiled
"It's either that or we both stay on the couch. Doesn't bother me. Whichever one you want to choose"
"Couch" He laughed and pulled me closer and kissing me on the head.
"Are you tired now?" Patch asked.
"Extremely" I replied. My eyes were closing slowly. I gotta sleep. He lay me down on the couch and lay behind me, putting his right arm protectively around my waist.
"Sleep now" And I did....
