Okay sorry for that short chapter!!!!!!!on with the story..........
----------------------------
"I-" he cuts me off by covering mouth with he hand. His hand is soft and smells like weird guy cologne but...a good weird. He puts one finger to his lips and slowly moves his hand away. My eyes grow wide when I here footsteps right behind us. Luckily they go away. I sigh. He stands up and reaches his hand out.
I take it.
"Let's go"
I smile, and we walk away slowly, talking about how our day was, till I blurt out "you think this is haunted?" I motion towards the woods, he glances at me and then to the woods. I notice him shift a little bit. "Erhm-uh-I d-doubt it" he stutters. "Really?" I mouth and cock my head sideways I bit "I feel like I'm being watched" his face shows nervousness which gets me nervous "savannah." He says my name softly and slowly. "Yes?" He looks me in the eye "we need to go"
"It isn't safe here if the guy is out" he starts walking faster "I was thinking the same thing" I wink, which made him smirk.
He runs his arm against my wrist and slowly slides his fingers down it. I tense up, is he gonna hold my hand?
He does. He intertwines his fingers in with mine.
Oh my lord, yes!
I look up at him and smile.
He smiles back, glad that I accept this, probably.
He starts to walk faster
"We really need to hurry, you never know when he's gonna come back"
I look down and our hands and pick up my pace too.
"You know, I'm glad I met you Alexander." He giggles.
"Ditto" he says with enthusiasm.
We both laugh at his choice of words and all of a sudden...I fall. I tripped over a stone and fall right on my knees, hard. He yelps and I groan. When I look up at him there's something behind him, it's black, like a shadow. I scream as loud as I can and point behind him. He turns around as quickly as possible and just sits there and stares...?
"What?" He says cocking his head. "T-there was somet-thing behind you...!" He shifts and looks at his house clear in the distance.
"Okay, um, yeah we're leaving...now!" He shouts.
I pull my hand up and grab his, wincing.
"Ow" I cringe.
He sighs.
I walk slowly and taking shallow breaths in each step.
----------------------------
We finally make it to his house and I step inside. It smells like sage and honey. Exactly what he smells like.
"This way," he points down a hallway with pictures lined up all down it" there Are four rooms and none of the doors are open. On the walls I can see faint scratches recently been attempted to be covered up. "What are those?" I point to a deep scratch imprinted on the wall. He looks at the scratch as if its memory, long and thoughtful. "Nothing, it was there before moved in" I look up at him and something about the question made his blood start pumping fast because I can see it in his face.
We walk into his bedroom and sit down.
I grab his tightly and look him dead in the eyes. "you knew what that was and I could see the fear in your eyes." Alexander, what. was. that." I say as serious as I can be.
He shifts again and looks at me, and sighs "shadow." he says.
"Shadow?"
"Yes, it was a shadow,"
I cock my head.
"Not any shadow, a living shadow. yeah that place is haunted, okay?"
"You're crazy!" I shout with enthusiasm and interest. "is not." I start to laugh and his cheeks warm up. "You're serious aren't you?" I say all of sudden stopping laughing.
"Yeah.." he trails off.
"That's...awesome." I say.
