My Little Angel 2: The Dark Angel

Chapter 9

Evie had just called Henry telling him about the note the hooded person had left, and she was just sitting on the couch holding Ember close to her protectively as she waited for her husband to get home. But suddenly, she heard the floor creak from upstairs, Evie's head snapped over towards the stairs in fear. What if that hooded person was still in her home.

She slowly stood up still holding onto a sleeping Ember as she grabbed a tourney stick that was by the front door before slowly going upstairs. She checked in all the bedrooms and the bathrooms as well, but they were all empty. And as she was checking the closet she suddenly felt a presence from behind her. She quickly turned around and saw the hooded person right behind her.

Evie swung the tourney stick at the person, but they dodged it with ease and grabbed onto it, pulling it out of Evie's grasp. Evie ran into the nursery quickly putting Ember in the crib before ruining back out, locking the door behind her as she then fought the one under the hoodie. It was just a big fist fight between the two of them as neither of them had any weapons on them.

"What are you doing here?! I thought you left!" Evie yelled as she grabbed the hooded person by their neck and basically choked them. "It's time to find out who you really are, once and for all!" Evie then yanked back the hoodie and saw who was under it, and she was in absolute shock when she saw who it was under it.

"HARRIET?!" Evie screamed when she saw Harriet under the hoodie.

Harriet only laughed when she saw Evie. "Oh you can be so easily fooled." She said through her laughter.

"So you've been the one threatening my family!" Evie said as she let go of Harriet's neck.

"I never said that. You see Evie, I was pretty much a distraction. I'm not the real hooded person. I just work for them." Harriet told her.

"You work for them? So this whole time, it's been you breaking into the house?" She asked.

"No, that was my boss. And they were just here a few moments ago, and then they left, leaving me behind to scare you." Harriet replied.

"What do you want from us?!" Evie yelled.

"That's not for me to tell. You'll just have to wait until your next encounter with my boss."

And just as soon as Harriet finished saying those words, Henry had come back from work. "Evie? Evie, I'm home!" They heard him yell.

"Come with me." Evie said as she grabbed Harriet by her hood and dragged her down the stairs and to Henry. "They came back Henry!"

Henry looked over at his wife as he saw her holding onto the hood Harriet was wearing. Wait, Harriet? In a hoodie? No, it couldn't be! "Harriet, you're the hooded figure?!" He yelled.

Harriet once again started laughing at her ex-boyfriend. "No, that would be my boss. I'm just the stand-in." She told him.

Henry who was absolutely furious at her, grabbed her by the collar of her hoodie as he brought her up to his face. "Who is your boss?! Who is the one that's threatening us?!" He yelled.

"I can't tell you. But I will give you a hint. You'll never see them coming. It'll leave your jaw on the floor." Harriet replied.

Henry just dropped Harriet back to her feet. He didn't want to look at her anymore, he still had no clue as to who was the one who was really threatening them, the one who was under the hoodie. "Get out of my house. Now!" He yelled pointing towards the front door.

Harriet smirked at him as she began to walk past him, but stopped as she brought her hand up to his cheek and standing up a little taller so she could bring her lips near his ears. "I'll be back for you." She whispered. "And my boss, they'll be back too." And after that, Harriet went out the front door.

"I can't believe Harriet's been working from the hooded person all along. I should've seen it coming." Evie said looking down at her feet.

Henry walked over to her as he pulled her closer to him, wrapping his arms around her. "It's ok Evie. I didn't see it either. But even if they come back, I will not let them get to Ember. She will be safe, I will make sure of that." He told her as he stared deep into her eyes.

Evie hugged him tighter not ever wanting to let go. She knew that Ember was safe with Henry around. "What are we gonna do about Harriet?" Evie asked him.

"I'm gonna call Ben, and she'll get arrested. I'm sure the police will get her to tell who the hooded person is." He replied.

"I don't know about that. Harriet isn't like that, she's not going to say anything." Evie said.

"Well, I guess all we can do is hope she does."

A/N: Yeah, so I know this wasn't very long, but I've been planning this for awhile and thought it was perfect. So please let me know what you thought! And if you have any more guesses as to who the hooded person is, please let me know as well. Until the next chapter!!!
