chapter 15~ who are you

I curled up in a blanket, attempting to keep warm, as the movie neared the finish.

A crash echoed from upstairs, causing my head to snap up in the direction that it came. I paused the movie, staring up at the ceiling. I don't know what I expected to happen. I listened for a few more seconds but was met with silence.
I frowned, running my hand through my hair.

What the fuck was that?

I got up to get a drink from the kitchen when I heard a door from upstairs shut.

I grabbed a knife out the kitchen drawer and wearily walked to the bottom of the stairs.

"Lila?! Is that you?" I called up, hoping for a response, but I never got one.

I frowned, for what felt like the millionth time this evening.

Its probably just the wind. I repeated in my head, trying to calm myself down.

I got a weird feeling, like someone was watching me, studying me. I looked around the hallway, hoping to see someone, but I never did.

I groaned.

This is stupid. Why am I so effected by this? It's probably just some asshole trying to scare me. And what scared me even more...is that its working.

I was snapped out of thought from the thud that ricocheted through the floorboards,once again.

I stared up at the ceiling, waiting for something to happen.

What am I doing? why am I waiting? There could be a killer up there.

I took a deep breath in and began to walk up the stairs, slowly, making sure I wouldn't make to much sound. If there was anyone up there, I didn't want them to know I was coming, or I knew they were there.

I paused, the feeling that I was being watched grew stronger, my could hear my heartbeat in my ears, slamming against my ribcage.

I shook the feeling off and decided to walk back downstairs, I'm not risking getting killed, I'll just....go next door.

I ran my hand through my hair, thinking what I should do, I looked over my shoulder, my eyes glued to the stairs.

"Not up there anymore love" a male voice echoed, earning my attention.

I stared at him intensely, trying to figure out who it was.

"Who are you?" I breathed out after a couple of seconds.

"I can't tell you that, it would ruin the suprise" he said darkly, taking a step forward.

I slowly took a step back. Oh hell no. I know how this goes in the movies.

I placed my hand on the table, searching for the gun that Liam had brought a few days ago, never taking my eyes of the hooded figure.

I quickly clutched it and pointed it towards him.
