In An Instant

Hello?

Quietly as I could, I made my way down the stairs, flashlight in one hand, pocketknife in the other. I made it to the kitchen and aimed the beam of light on the floor. There were broken pieces of the plate I think that crashed on the floor. "Riley?" said a deep voice. I gasped and slowly aimed the flashlight at the figure. As it slowly moved up, I could see that the person was in it's slippers and robe. It's body was kind of curvy... I made it up to the face... " Thomas?" I said. "What's going on?" I could see his face...had he been crying? "Please get the light out of my face," he said squinting. I flicked on the light switch and turned off my flashlight.
   "What's going on?" I asked. I glanced at the floor. It was filled with glass, plate shards, and some sort of sandwich...
    "I was getting... *sniff* ... a sandwich... *sniff* ... and... THE STUPID RACCOON CAME AND TRIED TO STEAL MY SANDWICH!" he curled up on the ground and started sobbing. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him. I sat on the ground next to him. I slowly took a deep breath, not letting my anger get the best of me.
     "First let's find the raccoon and then we'll worry about your sandwich, ok?" he looked at me and smiled.
     "Ok. Let's find that raccoon." We got up and started looking around. Half an hour came along and we haven't found anything. We decided to make a trap using some of the sandwich and put it in a shoebox. We waited, sitting at the table, never letting our eyes off the shoebox. A few minutes later the raccoon came, laying in the box. I closed it up and walked to the front door. I opened the door and dumped (oops) out the raccoon. I threw away the shoebox and went to go see Tomas.
     "Ok night." he said and went outside. I wished him a good night and glanced at the clock it read: 2:30. I cleaned up the mess, turned off the lights and went upstairs.

Thump, thump, thump. Creak, creak, creak. *Moaning*. I woke up glanced at the clock and almost cried. 3:30. Must be Thomas again. I went downstairs. It looked the same when I left. Creak, creak, creak. It was coming from upstairs. I frowned. What the... I went up the stairs and opened all of the doors.. except for Peter's....
