The mysterious man...

Chapter 3

'Don't mind lucky, her bark is worse than her bite.' Apart from a few hellos and how are you's, those was the first words I heard her uncle say. My uncles mouth turned into a smile and he added: 'Please come in out of the rain.'

The hallway smelt of wet dog and old wood. There was a stairway at the end of it, which was in complete darkness. A lamp on a high self gave a warming glow.

'Welcome, Sophie,' my uncle said, this made my headspin, hearing my name spoken by a person whose blood ran in my veins. My uncle looked very much like the picture that she has of her mother, he has brown curls and green eyes. He is tall and broad.

'Harry Styles' he said by a way of introduction.

Before I  could respond, he'd turned away to greet Robbie. I noticed the driver wince as he retrieved his hand.

'Can I offer you both a drink? You must have been traveling all day.'

Robbie said hurriedly: 'Thanks, but I have a room booked at an inn near Bodmin. They're expecting me for dinner.' His eyes flickered to lucky who, despite Harry Styles's assurance, continued to emit low, threatening growls.

'Traitor,' I though, which i knew was unfair because Robbie was old and had been driving since dawn and still a long way to travel in the storm. But having wished for this moment for most of my life, I  was now desperate to delay it as much as possible.

Robbie put a hand on my shoulder. I could see that he wanted to give her a hug, but felt intimidated by my uncle. 'Goodbye and good luck, Sophie. We'll miss you.'

'I'll miss you too,' i told him sincerely. If i hadn't felt intimidated herself, I would have run screaming out to the car and lay in front of the wheels until Robbie had no choice but to take me back to Sylvan Meadows. As it was i just said: 'Bye, Robbie. Thanks for everything.'

The door opened and another blast of freezing, rainy, sea air blew in. Robbie stepped grimacing into the night. The car engine spluttered to life. Three minutes later, I was alone with a dark stranger and a snarling wolfhound and the sinking feeling i have got exactly what i wished for...
