#9 of Nightmare on Jefferson
William gets lost.
Evening time, the two lovers arrive back home, something is wrong. A shriek is heard by William.
"Dane? Where are you? Dane! Where are you baby?"
A knock at the door was heard. William ran to it and opened it, but nobody was there. He ran out yelling, "Dane, where are you?" He saw a figure in the woods behind the house. He ran for it thinking it was Dane. "Dane, wait up!" The figure wouldn't stop. William ran into the woods following who he thought was Dane. He no longer saw the figure and he realized he was lost. Lost without Dane, or a light to guide him home. Lost in the dark.
"William, where'd you go?" ,Dane was safely home, looking for William. He yelled, "William, where are you?" He walked aimlessly around the house, then checked to see if the truck was there. "That dam dog, where is he?"
"Hey Dane, sorry I was down in the basement, needed to get something."
"Oh its okay, but you had me worried. I didn't know where you were."
"I'm here now, don't worry. Let's go to bed."
"Okay, but let me take a shower."
"It can wait for the morning."
"But, I'm dirty."
"It's fine, just let's go to bed."
"Fine."
William laid with Dane and cuddled up against him.
"You okay will?"
"Yes, shhh, go to sleep. Awake in the morning."
"Dane, please tell me that you're out here. I'm scared." snap!
"Who's there? Dane? Please be Dane." There was a light in the distance. William ran for it as fast as he could. He was was so scare he couldn't stop running. He kept running when he saw who was holding the lamp. It was a fox, very tiny, looked a bit weak, but had a look of confidence. William didn't even stop, he ran up to the fox and gave him a huge hug.
"Whoa there! I'm guessing your the one I heard!"
"Thank you so much! I was lost."
"You an get very lost out here, you should be more careful next time. I'm George."
"I'm William."
"Nice to meet you William."
"Can you help me find my fioncé?"
"Are they in the woods?"
"I honestly don't know. I lost him at my house and I thought I saw him run into here."
"Well, we can't do much right now. It's very dark. How about I bring you to my home and then we can call the police?"
"Okay, sounds good. I'm glad I ran into you."
"Me too, now come on, follow me."
They walked for quite a bit but then they got out of the woods. They were right behind William and Dane's house.
"Oh, this is where I live."
"Me too. Your fioncé should be inside."
"You too? What do you mean?"
"It's hard to explain, you'll learn soon enough."
George started to walk back into the woods.
"Wait, where are you going?"
He didn't respond.
"Thank you George!"
William walked into the house and yelled, "Dane, you here?"
Dane woke up and William wasn't in bed with him. He was confused so he walked out of the room to go see William.
"Will, why'd you leave bed? Oh my gosh, what happened to you?"
William was covered in leaves, twigs, and sweat. "I'm not sure. Have you been home this whole time?"
"Yes.... haven't you?"
"No I went looking for you in the woods!"
"You...I thought...I thought you were sleeping in bed with me just a few minutes ago."
"I've been lost in the woods for the past several hours. Lucky I found someone to help me. You didn't even notice I was gone?"
"No, I swear you were just in bed with me."
"No I was looking for you. You scared me."
