If you play with fire.. you get burned

Chapter 7

During the night she woke up because she was thirsty, but as she went down the stairs to go to the kitchen she saw something that terrified her and went back to her room very quickly. What she had seen scared her very much and she decided to call Robert. She picked up her phone, while her hands were shaking she searched for Robert's number and then called him. Robert answered after a few rings.

Andy: "Robert.." she was crying with fear. "Please come to me. I.. I'm afraid"

Robert: "What's going on?" he asked worriedly while he was looking for something to wear to go to her.

Andy: "There is a monster in my house" she replied terrified.

Robert: "A monster? Where are you now?"

Andy: "I'm locked up in my room and I won't get out of here until you send that monster away"

Robert: "There could be a problem, how do I get into your house if you don't want to leave your room?"

Andy: "Use the spare key you find under the red vase near the door"

Robert: "Ok, I'll be with you very soon"

They both ended the call and Robert arrived at Andy's house in the shortest possible time. As soon as he arrived he looked for the key, Andy told him it was under a red vase near the door, but the problem is that all the vases that were near the door were red. Robert just saw that the vases were all red he shook his head, but then started looking for the key as he thought about what kind of monster Andy was referring to. When he finally managed to find the key, he opened the door without knowing what he would find in front of him. As soon as he opened the door, he turned on the light and looked around. At first he didn't see anything strange, then he saw something move and as soon as he understood what it was he laughed. A raccoon had entered the house and Andy has always been terrified of that animal and did not think of finding it in the house. She knew she might see one in the garden, but never in the house. Robert didn't think a raccoon could scare Andy that way, yet it did. Robert slowly approached the raccoon and tried to send him out of the house. It wasn't easy for him to get rid of the raccoon, but in the end he was successful. As soon as the raccoon got out, Robert closed the front door and rushed upstairs to Andy's.

Robert: "Andy.. can I come in?"

Andy: "You can only go in if you sent that monster away" she said as she was curled up on the bed she was shaking.

Robert: "I sent him away" she said opening the door.

Andy: "Are you really sure?"

Robert: "I'm pretty sure, you can relax now"

Andy: "No, I'm still afraid she might come back again"

Robert: "I'm here with you now" he replied as he sat on the bed next to her and held her in her arms.

Andy: "I'll have to move and I have to find one that doesn't have a garden, at least those monsters won't enter my house anymore" Robert laughed.

Robert: "You call what you have out here a garden? There is not even grass, there is only a large floor"

Andy: "Precisely for this reason I don't understand why that monster was in my house" she replied, snuggling even more to Robert.

Robert: "I didn't think raccoons could scare you so much, they're such cute animals"

Andy: "No, they're not cute and I'm not afraid, I'm just terrified"

Robert: "But don't worry now, I sent that animal away. You should try to get some sleep"

Andy: "Can you stay here and sleep?"

Robert: "It was not my intention to leave" he replied giving her a kiss on the forehead. "But I should get up to go to the other room"
