Sparrow's POV
"Sparrow turn around" Fredrick said looking at the road. I stopped my truck and looked at Fredrick. "Why?" I asked. He pointed at that thing I saw on the road. It was something moving under the snow.
"What is that?" I asked. "It doesn't matter bring me back to your house" Fredrick screamed. I just nodded and made an illegal u-turn. I wasn't too far from my house so it was ok. Also the roads were completely deserted so no one will know.
I pulled into my driveway and I heard something hit the back of my truck. "What the hell was that?" I mumbled. I hit the brakes and turned my head slightly. "Sparrow it doesn't matter. Just get to the house" Fredrick said. He sounded scared. "Ok" I said. I stepped on the gas and drove back to the house.
We pulled into the garage and I quickly got out of my truck. I ran to the garage door and closed it. Right as it closed I heard something hit the door. What the fuck?
I felt Fredrick gab my hand. Next thing I know he's pulling me inside. "Lock the doors" he said frantically. "Ok now I feel like you're hiding something from me" I said. "Sparrow lock the fucking door or were breaking up right now and I'm walking home" Fredrick said angrily. I just nodded and locked the door.
Fredrick walked off so I started getting my jacket and boots off. I walked to the kitchen and saw Fredrick closing all of the curtains. Weird. "Go start a fire in the fireplace" he said. "The woods outside" I said pointing at the back door.
Fredrick stopped. "Didn't I tell you to bring some wood inside 2 days ago?" He asked. He sounded mad. "Yes but it was after my shower" I said. I heard him let out a angry sigh. Shit. This is the day I die.
Fredrick turned around and walked to the back door. "Don't go out there!" I screamed at him. "I won't be long" he said back. He walked out the door and a few seconds later came back with some wood. I really don't know how he manages to pick that up. He's soo small.
I walked over to the back door and helped him carry the wood to the living room. "Start the fire" Fredrick said. I started putting the wood in the fireplace. I found the fire starters and threw one in the fire place. I then lit a match and threw it in.
Eventually Fredrick calmed down. He was sitting on the couch. But he didn't want to be by me. "Fredrick I'm sorry" I said softly. He didn't even look at me. He just kept looking at the fire. "Fredrick. Please talk to me" I said. He turned his head towards me and opened his mouth to talk.
Right when he was about to speak all of the lights went out. Fuck. "No" I heard Fredrick whisper. He climbed over to the side of the couch that I was on and snuggled closer to me. "I'm sorry. Please don't let anything get me" he said. I could feel his tears on my shirt.
Poor thing.
"Fredrick, I won't let you get hurt. I promise. Wanna come find some candles with me?" I asked. I felt Fredrick nod. I helped him up off the couch. We then started walking around my house to find some candles.
Fredrick's POV
Me and Sparrow walked around together. We found a few candles to light. Which helped me calm down a bit. We need as much light as can can get. Sparrow also found some flashlights.
We walked back into the living room and laid down on the couch. I actually laid down by Sparrow this time. "I'm sorry baby" I said softly to him. He rubbed my head which helped me calm down. "It's ok. I promise. You had a reason to be mad" he said.
That made me feel worse.
"No Sparrow. Just tell me what you wanna do. I feel bad for being mean to you" I said. Sparrow let out a sigh and looked at me sadly. "Fredrick I need to be with my daughter" he said sadly. Oh god. I felt my eyes tear up but I held the tears back.
"Would you move to America with me?" He asked. That question threw me off guard. I looked up at him. He was serious. I sighed and said "Sparrow but what about..." "I know what about Essie and Alena. Never mind that was a dumb question" he said sadly.
He looked away at the fire and I looked down at my knees. Maybe leaving this place wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe leaving with Sparrow would be nice. We could start a life together. That would be nice. I wouldn't have to worry about my parents anymore. Maybe we could still come visit though.
I leaned my head on Sparrow and said "could we still come visit my family?" "Wait you'll come with me?" He asked happily. I nodded. "Yes of course. Whatever you want" he said excitedly.
This is gonna be such a big step. I mean, I e been to America before but it was only for like a week. Maybe living there won't be soo bad. It will just be me and Sparrow.
"So what's going on with you? Like when we were in my truck?" Sparrow asked snapping me out of my thoughts. Oh shit. I never told him about Norman and Krampus. He's gonna think I'm insane.
"Promise me you won't think I'm insane?" I asked Sparrow. He gave me a questioning look but nodded. "I promise I won't" he said reassuringly.
I took a deep breath and said "it's one of those supernatural experiences. You know 2 years ago when my cousin dropped me off at your house on Christmas Eve? Well he's kind of a demon... somehow. And you can call me crazy but he lives with Krampus... you know, the Christmas demon" "wait, so is he after me. Was that the little thing that was chasing us in the snow?" Sparrow asked confusingly.
"Well I think one of his little creatures is after you because you hurt my feelings but we just have to stay awake all night and not let the fire go out. If we do that then we can leave tomorrow. We can start packing now" I said. I saw Sparrow smile widely. He looked happy.
That made me happy.
"Come on. I'll help you pack your stuff" Sparrow said getting up. "Ok but you have to stay close to me. I don't want anything to happen to you. Ok?" I asked. "Ok baby" Sparrow said kissing my forehead.
