Reading Can Hurt Chapter 6

Not again! Really? Now when I'm home alone? Not know I'm not strong enough to be alone!

I ran downstairs to hid under the satires in the basement. I turned on the radio to find the right news station. It was all fuzzy for a while until I could hear voices.

"If you are just turning in, the serial killer is back and better then ever." He said, I leaned closely to listen it to it carefully even though I could just turn up the volume.

"If you follow these directions you will be safe and sound and hopefully not die." The man said still leaning closer with my head touching the radio

"Step 1: Get to a safe spot and make sure you are comfortable, you might be there for a while. 

Step 2: Before leaving for a safe spot make sure your doors and windows are locked

Step 3: When your at the safe spot stay close to your family and maybe friends if they are there.

Step 4: Wait till the announcer says its safe to come out.

Now it might be to late to lock doors if you are already in a safe spot but it would make your life a liitle easier. Now have a good day." Then the radio turned out and it was all fuzzy again.

I had all the steps down and ready, in the safe spot, there is no family around so I'm alone, but one thing was bothering me. Did I forget to LOCK the DOOR????????

I quickly thought to my self did I or did I not? I got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. I got allot of courage I stood up very fast but I had hit my head.

"OWWWW!" I said rubbing my head

I got my act together and left the little room and went up satires I saw the main door was locked. My butterflies went away for a little while.

I went to check the windows, they were still locked from last time. I felt out a sigh of relief, since I was at the windows I closed the blinds so no light showed in. When I closed my last window I swear I thought I saw a black figure right outside my house. I quickly opened my blinds again to only see no one standing there.

I thought to my self "was it only my fear playing tricks on me, or was he really there?"

I shock my head to hear a ringing sound. I lifted my head to see what it was, the ringing came back and it turned out it was the phone. I ran to it and saw who the caller was it was my mom.

"Mom! Where are you???" I asked with a worried sound

"Don't worry Caden, I'm fine I'm at my friends house and will  be there for the rest of the night." She said

"What?" How I have to be home alone all night with a killer on the loose!?" I yelled with an annoying look and tone.

"Shhhhhh!" My mom said "Be quite he could here you!"

I but my lip "Opps sorry."

"Its fine just stay home and sleep in the basement for tonight." She said in a quite voice

"Alright but be home as soon as you can!" I said quickly

"Ok I will try."

"Ok bye."

"Be safe bye." Then I heard a click in the background and so I hung up to

I slowly went downstairs when I something caught the corner of my eye. I turned my head super fast when I saw someone trying to get into my house. I screamed and ran downstairs closing the door behind me and locking it, and going into my cave and also closing that door and locking it.
