The Boy And The Wolf ⚠️On Hold⚠️

Chapter 2: Kyle

When I woke up I was still in awe. I couldn't stop thinking about the person who waved at me. It scared me even thinking about it.

Since I've been to Valdez before I had a good friend living there named Kyle. He's the one who showed me the best hiking trails and best spots to hang out, he practically showed me everything there was to see.

I went over to his house; he was outside playing with his older brother, Stanly. I went up and bro hugged him. He talked about how bored he was without me, because obviously: I'm the best.

He showed me his new Xbox 360. We played his new game called 'call of duty: black ops 1' it came out at his local game store about a month ago. When we finished, we went outside to play in the park.

We got there and Kyle saw some of his friends. He introduced me to them and being young, we got along fast. We played 'Hide and Seek' together, I was the seeker. I found most of them until I my heart stopped beating... I saw the person that I saw the night prior. The person was clearly a man in his early thirty's. He smiled and asked:
"Do you want some candy?"
He held out his hand to show a Lollipop. I started to back up, I turned around and started running, the adrenaline made me trip over a large root. The man slowly walked towards me. He then said:
"Don't be scared. I won't hurt you."
I got up and ran like there was no tomorrow. I sprinted past Kyle who said:
"Where are you going? We're not done yet!"

I stopped and looked back, my eyes weren't looking at Kyle but they were locked on the man who was standing in the distance. He was waving just like he did last night. I told Kyle that I wasn't feeling good and that we could hang out tomorrow after his school ended.

I ran to my grandparents' house, I didn't stop running until I was in my bed. I cried myself to sleep quickly after. I woke up to the sound of my grandpa yelling:
"Dinners ready!!!"
I replied with:
"I'm coming!!!"
I went to the bathroom and rubbed the salty tears off my eyes. I then went downstairs to then smell a stake! I loved stake. I got to my seat, my grandparents were looking at me, giving the expression that they were trying to ask me what was wrong. I knew what they were getting to, we would eat and then they would ask me 'what's wrong?' And I would have to spill my beans.

We finished dinner, it was amazing! I then stood up strait ready to hear those words that I knew they would say. My grandma cleared her throat and spoke:
"What happened? Why did you come home crying? Did Kyle do something bad to you?"
I sighed thinking of how I would explain to them.
"Last night there was someone outside waving to me. Today we played hide and seek and then I saw him again. He held out candy asking me to take it. I then fell and he said 'Don't worry, I won't hurt you.' I got so scared that I ten home and started crying."

They looked scared; I swear that my grandma's heart skipped a beat just like mine did. They explained that I should tell the police, and to do that I would need to take a photo of him. Just that scared me, I didn't want I see him again. I would get a heart attack.

Night came along So I called Emma, she explained how school sucked when I wasn't around. I explained how I missed her comfort too. She smiled and blushed, I did too. Since she had school the next day, we didn't talk long this night but we both promised that during the weekend we would talk more.

I woke up at about seven AM, I was planning on sleeping in but a nightmare didn't want me to sleep in. I got up and dressed in denim jeans and a nice blue shirt, I then put on my winter jacked and continued with my normal routine. Get dressed, go to the bathroom, eat, and jog on the weekends, hangout with friends. I did all of that, I tried to jog more than my normal 30 minutes to try to impress Emma when I got back.

While I was jogging I was stopped by the police, they said there was a robbery from the direction that I came from and since I was running they took me in for questioning. I explained how it wasn't me and showed them my identity cards. They let me free about an hour after investing. I continued to jog back home when I saw 'him' again I started to run, sprint. He was Athletic nun the less. He started to catch up to me, I thought I was running a marathon and his finish line was my grandparents' house. I saw the finish line and ran like a cheetah. I got home and grabbed my camera to try to take a photo of him, when I went back outside... He was gone was I imagining all of it? No, it's impossible!!! At three thirty PM I started to walk to Kyle's school to hang out with him after. He walked out dragging his bags on the floor behind him.
"Rick!!! What are you doing here?"
He said pulling his bags to his back. I smiled and said:
"I came so that we can hang out after."
He smiled and said:
"Come on, let's go to my place and play Xbox!"

We got to his house and turned on the TV to start playing until I heard a tapping on the window, we both jumped in shock and looked out the window, there was no one there.

My pulse slowed down to normal until it jumped up again because we heard the tapping again. I had enough, I grabbed the camera and went outside, the man was there and when Kyle saw him, he almost passed out. I took a video instead of a photo. The man hissed and ran away out into the forest.

We went back inside and I sat back down on the couch.
"Now I have the evidence"
I told Kyle, he looked at me in awe when I said that.
"Have you seen him before?"
Kyle asked nervously.
"Yes, yes I have. Yesterday and the day before that."
He tilted his head.
"Are you sure?"
Kyle asked.
"Yes. I am sure"
I said. I would do anything to put him behind bars; he had to get off these streets...
