Home Alone

CHAPTER 4

'Oh,  Meg! You scared me to death. ' Hannah retorted, keeping her voice calm.

"I don't think that was a prank call.Was it?!" asked Meg sharply.

"No, it was Mom.She was saying her flight is delayed due to too much snowstorm. " Hannah told Meg. Tears streamed down t Meg's cheeks. Meg went to her room and shut the door behind her . Hannah was gloomy, although her sister exasperated her but still she had a feeling deep inside her heart. She realised that she has a place for her sister too. She was unable to do anything. Suddenly a bulb turned on in her mind. Let me bring, Bruce inside. She'll be glad. Hannah thought.

She went outside to look for Bruce. it was too cold outside, Hannah clenched her hands in her pocket. She was unable to find Bruce. she looked back . With a twinge of guilt, she wondered if Meg was still up alone in her room crying.

She went back to Meg's room and knocked the door. Meg didn't answered.

"Meg, are you in here?"Hannah said anxiously. Without waiting for any reply, Hannah opened the door.

Meg was standing near the windowpane, glancing outside.

"I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I really didn't wanted to hurt you . Actually it was just the news-" Hannah stopped. She didn't wanted to scare Meg agian.

"May be we should let Bruce in,"she said at last.

Meg turned and faced her.Sheepishly, she pointed to her closet where a huge pile of dirty clothes  just inside the half-open door.

"I already did" Meg sighed.

As Hannah watched, the pile of dirty clothes rose up from the floor and shook itself-socks, sweater, shirts and jeans spraying out in all the directions. Bruce crooked his head and looked beseechingly at Hannah.

" I thought you'd say that", Meg sounded almost smug."So I already did that."

"Well . it's 10:30. I'm going to sleep.Goodnight Meg."

" 'Night"

It was a dreary night and Hannah was unable to sleep. She decided to read an article, , after few minutes Hannah was half asleep. Suddenly she heard a voice calling her name in whispers. Her eyes weren't fully open yet.She saw somebody standing near her . She sat up and rubbed her eyes with her both hands.She saw Meg standing near her.She was looking anxious.

"Hannah!" Meg's voice was shaking and she sounded like if she might cry."Hannah-wake up! !"

Hannah pushed her covers.

"Hannah,"Meg's face was as white as a ghost. "Do you hear it? Someone's at the door. "

"Oh my god. It's 2 am-"Hannah couldn't say further. For a second it seemed to Hannah that everything froze . The knock on door get louder and louder . She could see the terrified mask of Meg's face.
