I can hear the leaves crunching under my feet. There's no time to turn back. I keep running. Faster and Faster. I can't stop. I keep getting faster and my vision starts getting blurry. I can't see anything now. I trip and fall to the ground. I hear more leaves crunching and I Black Out. "AHHHH!" I scream sitting up in my bed. I check the clock. 3:47. Great. I get outta bed and walk downstairs. I get my dogs out of their kennels and take them outside to use the bathroom. It's pitch black outside. I see something blur out of the corner of my eye. I look at that direction but I cant see anything. I pay no attention to it and turn my attention back to my dogs. Seconds later, I see it again. I drop my dogs' leash at start walking toward the blur. Thanks guys let me know what you think. DONT tell me, it's great but do this, or do that. I Just want your opinions I like it how it is thx. Again, No Corrections just opinions thx guys luv ya!
Update: I keep walking toward the blur trying to concentrate. I hear a deep, growling sound. I look around but I'm too tired to understand what's going on. I walk back towards my dogs and put them back inside looking around one more time. I lock my door back and try to go back to sleep. I look at the clock one more time. 3:59. A few minutes later I open my eyes an hear a Knock on the door. Who would be up at 4:10? I turn the porch light on and look on the porch for somebody. No body is there. I turn the porch light back off. -RING- -RING- I hear my house phone ring. I stare at the phone and it stops ringing. -RING- -RING- it starts again. I hesitate to answer the phone. My voice is shaky,"h...h..hello?" I say. "Fayde?" someone asks in a low voice. "yes?" I ask. Then, the other person hangs up. I crawl back in bed, scared I'm gonna have to get up again. Update soon
I wake up at 6:00 in the morning. I sit in the living room eating cereal wondering about last night. Was it a dream? No, it was real. The blur, The Knock, The Phone Call, It was all real. My cell phone rings startling me. I pull out my phone and look at the caller I.D. It was Raven, my sister. "Hey Fayde. Do You think you could watch Lena for awhile?" she asks. "sure." i reply. "great. I'll bring her over in ten" she said hanging up. Lena is my sister's 9 year old daughter. And she's mean. My sister knocked on my door 10 minutes later. I groan and open the door. Lena runs inside and finds her favorite board game. Raven pulls me outside on the porch and whispers,"did someone call you early this morning? Or Knock on your door?" she asks. "yes why?" I ask. "because it happened to me too." she replies.
Update: I was speechless. "who do u think it is?" I ask her. "I have no idea. That's why I asked you to watch Lena." she said. When my sister left, I went inside with Lena and shut the door. "LOOK!" she screamed pointing toward the puzzle she had made. "I DID IT AUNT FAY I DID IT!" I looked at her puzzle. Most of the pieces were flipped over and none of them fitted together. I laughed at walked over to Lena. "would you like something to eat Lena?" I ask her. "YAY!" she screamed again, clapping. "Lena, no shouting please." I say. "ok." she says. I gave her a sandwich and bug juice. Then I went downstairs to watch tv. I turned on the news. "tonight on channel 3 news we report a fugitive that broke out of the Miami Jail at eleven o'clock late last night. Other reporters and Officers say they saw the man traveling from Miami to DarkRidge in a stolen BMW. No one knows for sure what this man looks like, but we know he has a deep, voice. Now, back to you Rick." oh my god. I pressed the mute button and put my hand over my mouth. Two seconds later I was calling my sister and telling her to turn her tv on to channel 3. Then, Lena screamed. I ran upstairs to the kitchen. "Lena what's wrong?" I ask. She was crying. She pointed out to the garden. "There was a man standing there." I look at the garden but no one is there.
Really short update I know who Lena Is Talking about. Most likely the guy from the news. I tell Lena to go watch tv and she starts watching sponge bob. I call my sister and tell her what Lena saw. I walk out to the garden and investigate.
I walk farther and farther into the garden. I hear leaves crunching just like in my dreams. More like nightmares. I hear the crunching get louder as the person, or thing gets closer. I turn and see Lena standing there. "Lena! What are you doing?" I ask her. "there was a man on the porch. And he asked me to come to you." she replied. I stare at the porch but I don't see anyone. "come on" I say leader her back to the house. I walk inside and see that almost all my stuff is gone.
I look around my home. Everything is gone. My electronics, my tv, my photos, my journals, my band equipment, my CDs, everything. I sit down on the floor and start crying. Lena walks over and sits across from me. "what's wrong aunt Fay?" she asks. "Everything is gone Lena." I wipe my tears away and look at her. "I told you before to Never talk or listen to strangers Lena." she looks at the floor. "I know aunt Fay. I'm sorry." I get up off the floor just as my phone rings. "hello?" I say. The same deep voice from last night answers. "fayde, fayde, fayde, you got lucky. Next time I will take that precious little girl of yours." they started to laugh. I hung up the phone and ran over to hug Lena.
It's nearly 8:00 and I haven't heard from my sister. She was supposed to come get Lena at 6:00. I start getting worried. I tuck Lena in and give her hugs. "goodnight Lena." I say walking into the blank Living room. I sit on the floor and look at where my photos used to be. I found the trap door I used to hide my stuff. It came in handy. I opened it and walked down the Long Staircase. When I finally reach the bottom, I find my photo album on one of the shelves and bring it back up to the living room. I sit on the floor again and start going through it.
