The footsteps

One night...

As I was heading for bed my mother stopped me."amanda don't forget to check if the doors are closed" I nodded and walking to my bed.all of a sudden "Amanda?" I turned to see who was talking to me it.was my dad "yea?" I stood there for a second "uhh can you tell James to shut up for me he's being to loud ok" i. felt like laughing my ass off "ok then dad" good" so the I told my brother a little bit more than just shut up though after that. I drifted off to sleep it was around 2:30 at night when .I heared *step* * step * *step* I sat up to see if it was my brother but my brother.Was still asleep I got kinda terrified of what I was hearing but then it wasn't just.Footsteps anymore now it sounded like scratching on the wall I then finally. I got up to see what it was but as soon I walked out of my room the scratching.And footsteps stopped thinking that maybe it was my dad i checked.In my parents room but they were asleep I looked in the bathroom,my room,my parents room,but. Nothing was there in till I remembered the kitchen I forgot to check if the door was locked but the door was wide.Open I felt so stupid for forgetting to lock the door and I decided to ask my family if they heard anything.As I got up to eat my breakfast I asked them but they said"no" even though I wasn't really shocked.I don't even know why though as the day past trying to figure out what I was just heard last night but this night I'm.Going to be prepared I put my little camera my dad had got me on a corner where the door is by my kitchen.As I was going to go to bed I made sure the door was locked then I drifted off to sleep.Then around the same time last time I heared *STEP* *STEP* *STEP* but. this time they sounded closer and even the scratches were louder.I got up quickly to see but it the sounds stopped. I got a ladder from my kitchen when I was going to walk out of the kitchen.I looked to the side to see that the door was open as I walked over I turned on the backyard lights.And the kitchen lights and nothing was in the backyard but as I looked on the kitchen there.Was footstep marks....Nextel morning again I looked at.What my camera recorded but I was nothing all I heared was the noises.I keeped it a secret intill now.....
