The girl in the alleyway

Chapter 12

I had just finished eating the entire packet of those chocolate biscuits when I decide it was time for another jam session.I ran to my room and grabbed my phone off my bed.Just as I went to exit my bedroom suddenly something from the window caught my eye.I turned around and to my shock the mafia leader was standing right at my bedroom window.I was pale with fear.He turned around and faced me through the window.I could feel the cold glare on my cheek.like someone had opened a window in the middle of a cold winter night.Suddenly I regained my conscious and ran out of the room and into the lounge.How did he always do that? How was he able to just stop time for even just a few seconds? More importantly, how did he know where I lived? All of that didn't matter anyways what mattered was that I was able to not let him get into my house and potentially kill me.I double checked that I had locked every door and window before I entered my room to check he had gone.I saw none and heard nothing.The silence was loud.I figured he was only trying to scare me and left.

After I had checked all the rooms I decided I needed some t.v to relax before my dad came.I made some popcorn and some old movie from the 80's came on the t.v.Just as it had begun I heard a weird sound come from my bedroom.I ignored it and continued watching t.v but it continued and got louder and louder.I decided to go see what was making all that noise.I Was sure I hadn't left the heater in my bedroom on.I walked into my bedroom and there was nothing the sound had stopped and the heater wasn't going either.I thought I was imagining things and went to exit my bedroom when the door suddenly shut.what was going on? I thought to myself."hello" I said."Is anyone here"? I was getting kind of creeped out now.I tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge.I kept trying and realised I was stuck.There was no way I could get out.Just as I thought it couldn't get any worse I heard the sound again.I was terrified by now.It was coming from under my bed.I grabbed the closest object I could and moved towards my bed.I was really close now and just as I went to look under my bed I felt the grasp of someone's cold pale hands grab my ankles.

I fell over and lay on the ground gasping for air.It felt as if I was being drowned under the ocean with no escape.I tried to hit whoever had grabbed my feet with the object but I realised I had grabbed my stuffed elephant.It was no use how was I going to defend myself with a stuffed elephant? Suddenly a look of horror had emerged on my face.The mafia leader was towering over me.I saw him reach for something out of this pocket.He pulled out a pocket knife.It looked like it had just been sharpened not to long ago.Just as I thought things were about to end I heard a smashing sound on the other side of the room.The mafia leader and I both turned our heads to see Clyde jump through the window to my rescue once again.He landed right on top of the mafia leader causing him to drop the knife and fall over.I scrambled to my feet and ran over to the other side of my bedroom."Not today you bastard" said Clyde as he picked up the knife and through it out the window."Layla you need to get out of here right now!" screamed Clyde.I ran towards my door and tried to open it."It won't unlock" I told him.''he locked it".''Well then jump out the window" replied Clyde."What ,are you crazy!? I exclaimed."There is no way I'm jumping out of there."You have to Layla, it's your only choice or you'll get hurt," said Clyde."And haven't you already jumped out a window before?" he said."Yes but that was onto a mattress and there isn't one and I don't want to get hurt" I told him."Well you'll get even more hurt if you stay in here" replied Clyde while dragging the mafia leader by his legs." Fine I'll do it then" I replied."Okay well hurry up about it" He said.I took a deep breath,closed my eyes and jumped.
