Chapter 7

The Kelpie turned back into a person, he had his arms wrapped around my waist. It was really comfortable, but wrong, very wrong. He had a girlfriend who loved him very much. Pretty much when I got up he woke up, he said

" I think I should bring you back "

I said " what time is it? "

He said " 2:30am "

I was undoubting going to be in trouble for the rest of my life, if papa knew I was with the Kelpie. I pulled him up and said

" we really have to go "

We rushed to the creek careful no to wake any other creatures that might have been sleeping, the water was dull but not murky. He dripped his blood into the water and it started glowing again.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the water with him, we arrived in the fountain. I climbed onto the stone and caught my breath then climbed out, once again I was dry. The Kelpie was sitting on the water, he said

" next time when you want to visit please don't just drop in "

I said " ok, ok fine "

We both heard someone clearing their throat, I knew that voice very well.

I didn't even turn around and said " how long have you been here? "

My father who I was currently angry at said " I've been looking for you, your mother is worried sick and you're here with this Kelpie. I told you to ovoid "

The kelpie got down from the fountain and said " we weren't doing anything "

Papa yelled at the Kelpie " DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY DAUGHTER AGAIN "

I yelled at papa " stop it I told you I didn't want you controlling my life "

My father ran and grabbed the Kelpie by the collar of his shirt, he said

" IF YOU EVER COME IN A 100 MILE RADIUS OF MY DAUGHTER, THAT WILL BE THE LAST TIME YOU WILL EVER SEE HER AGAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND "

The Kelpie kept a calm face, he was thinking of what to do. Obviously he was scared but hiding it behind a mask my like father did. Basically you don't want to get a Kelpie angry because they have a worse reaction. Fight or Flight, I didn't know what he was going to do; so I watched it closely.

The Kelpie laughed, even though none of this was funny. Suddenly I realized he was going to fight, sprung up and yelled at my father

" LET GO OF HIM, HE'S GOING TO BITE YOU "

I was too late, the Kelpie had already took one of the arm my papa was hold him with and bit down hard. Papa dropped the Kelpie and fell to his knees, the Kelpie landed on his feet. He looked at my father then me, I backed away terrified if he was going to attack me too.

He took a few steps closer, I tripped and fell on my butt, but kept scooting away. He looked at my horrified face, he turned around and hopped back into the fountain. The water stopped glowing and it became a regular fountain again.

When a Kelpie bites, they can be painful or not painful. Whatever the Kelpie wants he'll do, with the same lingering aftermath, the 12 stages of Hell.

My father was holding his arm, I couldn't see what damage had been done but it probably wasn't good. I walked up to him and said

" the shoe is on the other foot now "

" be quiet Celeste and call your mother " he said

He pulled the phone out of his pocket and threw it at me, I called the house. It rang four times before mama picked up
