Day One;

                  I didn't expect us to get tracked down this quickly.

Especially since I was so clueless about the other strollers making their way up to the back of the house as Perseus slept while I kept watch.

They completely caught me off guard. The whole point of me keeping watch while he slept was so I could see them coming from a while away.

But I didn't.

Rattle...

Shake...

Rattle...

My ears immediately catch on to the only noise being made in the entire house and it makes me perk up.

Is that a rat?

Shake...

Rattle...

I turn my bed towards the bedroom door and inhale sharply as the rattling increases.

It's coming from the back of the house. Meaning...

They found us.

Shit!

With a quick move, I rush towards the bed where Perseus is sleeping in and I try to shake him awake.

Come on!

Come on! Wake up!

I don't know how he could be this much of a hard sleeper. I could've been somebody else... or another stroller.

Pound.

Slam!

Pound!

Crack.

I pause and my lips part in terror as I hear what the other strollers have done.

They just slammed the back door out of its hinges and are now beginning to make their way inside of the house, knocking down anything in their path to get to what they want.
