WHISPER IN THE WOODS

Hey,
Here's chapter 8. I will make it more exciting in the next chapter. Promise. Thanks. Like and repost.

CHAPTER 8: out.
Sunday morning was quiet. I lay asleep in bed while Patch went to the shops. He left me a note on the small bedside desk....

LOUISE,
I've gone out to grab some things from the shops.
I'm sorry I didn't wake you but you looked like you needed the sleep.
I won't be long. 12:45 maybe??
If you need anything, ring me. My number is on speed dial on the house phone.
I Love you
Patch xx

I looked at the clock. 12:00AM. Patch would be back soon. So I decided to snuggle back down into the warm bed.
At 12:44 i woke to the noise of patch coming through the door.
I still had my eyes closed when he came upstairs. I wanted to see what he would do.
"I know you're awake" Patch laughed. But I didn't open my eyes. I was ready for bursting with laughter, but I didn't. "I'll just have to come and wake you up then"
I heard the faint sound of tapping which i decided was patch taking off his shoes, socks and shirt.
He climbed onto the bed where I was and started to tickle me. I giggled loudly and opened my eyes.
"Ok. Ok. I'm awake" I giggled.
"I'm not sure i believe you" Patch said, continuing to tickle me.
"Please. I'm.... Gonna.... Die...." I managed to get out.
"On one condition" He said still tickling me.
"What? Anything" I begged him to tell me. He smiled
"Tell me that you love me"
"I love you Patch" The corners of his mouth turned up into a smile.
"I love you too"
All of a sudden, we heard a really loud banging sound. Like Someone throwing rocks at the windows. No... not rocks.... Something bigger and louder....
Patch sat up and held me close. He pulled me up from the bed and hid me in the cupboard.
"Don't move from here and try not to make a sound"
He shut the door and took something silvery out of his pocket, A KNIFE?!?! PATCH NO!!! I couldn't let him do this.
I jumped out of the cupboard.
"Patch. I'm not letting you do this" I Nodded my head towards the knife "I'm coming with you" I whispered.
"No. You have to stay here"
"I'm coming with you. Don't try and stop me or I'll go down there myself" He sighed.
"Stay behind me. Please. And if anything happens.... Run. Hide. Please do that for me"
"I will"
We tiptoed down the stairs, in complete silence. What if there was a guy with a gun downstairs? Maybe he would hide behind the door and attack us from behind. Would he hurt patch?

"It isn't him" Patch said, relaxing his shoulders. "Just a few stupid boys"
"How do you know?" I asked, in a quiet voice.
"I sense it" Patch turned around and hugged me tightly. "It's ok. I'm going to check around anyway. Stay here" I nodded.
He walked down the rest of the stairs and walked into one of the far rooms. I smiled. He was so kind, so amazing, so protective. Why? Why would he do this for me? After all, I'm just a human....
