 I was home alone, watching a scary movie when I heard a faint knocking.  I perked up slightly, eyeing the door as though someone was walking in.  It was too late for visitors, so I had no idea as to who it could possibly be.

Unwilling to walk to the door, I forced myself off of my bed as the soft knocks continued.

"Coming!" I shouted. "Who is it?" My voice rang out through the silent house. There was no answer form the other side of the door.  Upon opening the door, I realized how heavy the rain was.

"Is someone there?"

The tree outside could have been tapping against the house, resulting in the same noise as a tap on the door, but I had my doubts.

After deciding to ignore the strange event, I went back to bed to sleep.

The next morning, I told my friend Emma about the knocking.

"Could it have been the door?  Was someone there?" I asked.

"You must have heard that in your lame movies," Emma told me, annoyance in her eyes.

Soon after, I forgot about the knocking and continued with my day at school.

After school, I went straight to my phone to order my favorite vegetable pizza.  My plan was to eat pizza while watching a horror movie.  However, before I could get far into the movie, I fell asleep on the couch.

A knocking abruptly woke me.  Irritated, I slowly and grudgingly made my way to the front door.

As my eyes adjusted to the light in the living room, I turned on the outside light and threw open the door.

"Oh, it's you," I blurted under my breath.

"Hey Alexandria, I'm really sorry to wake you," said Tom my neighbour.

Tom is a tall, greying man with blue eyes. He's my neighbour and a very good friend of mine.

"I thought you would be awake watching your scary movies," said Tom.

"No, I was sleeping, and I'd like to get back to it. Anything important?” I replied back.

He paused.

“Yeah, I wanted to borrow one of your scary movies tonight.  You know, I'm actually really bored,” said Tom with his puppy face.

Just a second!" I exclaimed and ran up the stairs to my room to get one of the DVD's

"Thank you!” Tom shouted after me.

After lending him one of my DVD's. I stomped up the stairs and climbed into my bed.  Trying to fall asleep, I knew it was useless.  I just couldn't settle down.

Just a few seconds later I hear sounds coming from downstairs.  I suddenly sat up and tried to listen more closely to it again. That’s when I heard more sounds. As I got downstairs, slowly, looking around my house, my bare feet stepped on the soft carpet covering my living room’s floor. I knew I wasn’t alone. I froze.

The lights were off, so the only light that came in was from the streetlights across the street. The furniture shadow gave it a menacing touch of gloom. But it wasn’t my furniture shadow  that had me paralyzed it was the figure standing near my garage door.

“Who the hell is he?” I whispered while my chest moved up and down quickly due to my rapid breathing.  I felt like he was staring at me.

I moved forward to make sure that the door was locked. I looked again through the window and he was gone.

I moved closer to make sure he was not there. How could this be possible?  He was in front of my door just a few seconds ago.

I crawled back to my bed , staring at the ceiling and contemplating what had just happened.

Why was I scared?

Who was  he?

My mind was buzzing with questions! I hadn't even realised that I had fallen asleep.

I woke up in a daze when I heard light cranking sounds coming from downstairs. I immediately sat up and listened closer, freaked out that someone was in my house. Was he here?

I'm sure I locked the door.

But the next thing I knew, there was a knock on the door. 

"Tak, Tak, Tak"

Someone was at door again.

"Who could it be?" I asked myself, staring at the clock in my room. It's almost 2:30 at night.

I started to freak out . Climbing out of my bed, I grew scared.  I stood in the middle of my room shaking from head to toe. The knocking was getting louder.  I crept along the wall going downstairs. As I walked closer to the door, I got more and more nervous. Finally, I reached the door.

"Who is it?" I choked out almost unable to speak.  "Hello! I asked 'who is it?' Tom, is that you?” No reply from the other side.  The only sound to be heard of was someone breathing heavily as I finally opened the door a gust of wind made me shiver..

I saw a shadow.

I screamed.
