The Barnabas House

Chapter Five

I am escorted back to my house, but they don't leave. The guy I had talked to pulled his gun and started walking to the door. I am so scared and confused, that I can't speak. The fear has taken over my body. I walk closely behind him. My palms start to sweat as we come closer to the door.

"Open the door. Carefully," the man says. I don't move. "Open the door!" he commands. I slowly inch my way to the door. As I near the door, a chill runs through my body paralyzing me with fear. As I open the door the cold air sends a shiver down my spine.

The guys walks in ahead of me walking quietly. I watch as he scans his flashlight over everything in the house. I can hear my heart pounding in my chest as we walk through the house. My pulse starts racing as I hear a faint cry. Looking around at the faces of the other agents, they show no sign of noticing the noise. My pulse slows to a more steady rate, though my breathing is still heavy.

"Where is your room? You need to get your stuff and get out of here?"

"What is going on?"

"I will explain everything at headquarters. Now hurry."

I lead him to my room being as quiet as possible. My heart is pounding inside my chest with fear. I slowly open the door to my room. My hands are shaking out of control. As I walk into the room, I hear that faint cry again. This time the man seems to hear it too.

"Get your pajamas and a change of clothes for tomorrow. We have to leave NOW!"

Though stricken with fear I comply with his command. After I get my stuff, we hurry out the door. I can still hear the sound of the cry in my head. I feel as though I'm going to pass out. The car seems to start spinning, and the voices of the two agents in front run together. Suddenly, everything goes dark.
