"Hey! We're going to go to the meeting now. Can you watch Tommy?" Jessica's father asked her
Although she didn't like being alone she agreed.
While they were out of the house, Jessica would check on her sleeping brother.
Since they live quite a bit away from where her parents work, it'd be a while until they came back.
They lived in a house that was built in the late 20's so it was pretty old. Every creek was normal to them. Of course an old house is going to have creeky floors! But this time.. This time it was different..
Jessica heard the floor creek. She didn't pay any attention to it. Until she remembered.. I am alone with a sleeping child
It couldn't have been her. She was sitting in the living room. Couldn't have been Tommy. Because, again, he is sleeping
"Tommy! Are you awake?" She called out. No reply
She went to her little brothers room to check up on him. The door opened and there was Tommy. Sleeping.
Weird
After making dinner, she put food on a plate for the sleeping boy who she was about to wake up
Only there was not a boy laying in the bed
"Tom! You're up? Where are you?" She looked around for him. No where. Maybe he was somewhere else in his room. She looked in his room again. Hmm. Not here.. When she looked up she saw a small silhouette in the reflection from the TV. "Tommy!" I've been looking for you!" She said smiling as she turned around. He wasn't there. Nobody was. She turned back around and looked at the TV. It was not Tommy but another figure. It was humanly figured.. Just not quite... It moved closer and closer.. It made a noise.. She turned around and dropped the plate with a scream
*parents come home after a while*
"Tommy! Jessica! We're home" their mother shouted
Silence is unlike their children
"Um.. Kids?"
The parents searched the house.. The kids were gone
They went next door to ask Mrs. Sanchez if she had seen them go out since she always sat I'm her sunroom. She said, "No I did not, dears. I did hear some screams, but I figured it was just Jessica, Tommy, and your other one being kids-"
"What do you mean 'other one', Mrs. Sanchez?"
"The other boy! The one always around."
"There is no other boy around"
"I saw him! He's always around Jessica"
"What? Are you sure they didn't leave the house?"
Mrs. Sanchez was so sure that no one left the house... But if they didn't leave.. Then where did they go? If they did go, how did no one see them go?
Police searched for them and are still searching today..
Have you ever felt someone looking at you? Or like there is someone right behind you? The hairs on your neck stand up. Fun fact: if you ever feel that way, did you know that it is because someone or something is watching you?
Now.
What if someone is behind you?
Did you look?
You should.
Do you feel that presence?
Did you look now?
Probably not such a good idea
