As you stretch your arms out and flex your fingers , you read the time on the clock on the bottom of your computer screen.

1:21 am

You let out a deep breath , you think to yourself you should get some sleep and finish this tomorrow. Saving the doctument , you get out of your chair. Walking to your bathroom door , a noise rings through out the house. You feet stop moving where they are. Fear spreads over you , no one should be awake. Your little brother is asleep , so is your mom, dad at work. Deciding you should check who and/or what is there , you grab the bat that laid behind your desk.

Opening your door let out a creek through out the house, listening for anything all you hear is the a.c. running. Walking past the rooms , you reach the top of the stairs and see a light in the kitchen, not wanting to wake your mom over a silly fear , you calmly walk downstairs.
You lean against the wall and hear the noise. Water is running , feet are shuffling. You try to keep your breaths quiet , what if it's a mad murder or a deranged serial killer. Shaking your head You turn the corner with your bat ready to swing.
There lies on the counter is your brother reaching for a glass, you sigh and let out a little laugh.
"Jacob let me help you"
Jacob jumps a little and looks back with his little kid smile. After helping Jacob get a drink of water you help him into his bed. Kissing goodnight , slightly better mood , you close your door and cover up.

2:45 am

You been tosing and turning for what seems like hours, checking your phone. Only a hour has passed, rubbing your face , you put your ear buds in and fell asleep to music.

4:26 am
Your eyes fly open. Someone is in the room, you can't see them but you can feel someone is in the room. You are petrified with fear , not daring to move , you look around as much as you can. There in the corner , do you see that? It sees you, more exact he sees you. It looks to be a tall man , there is something in his hand but it is to hard to make out. He walks towards you , each step creaks.Shutting your eyes , you pretend to still be asleep. You can feel him by you maybe two or three inches away. He bends down and sniffes you. Confusion and fear washes over you , he leaves.
You let out a deep breath and fall back to sleep.
He is gone or is he?

11:39 am
You smile and sit up stretching, you check your phone. And surprised that you slept so late, dread washes over you. You let that guy walk away without warning anyone, is everyone alive and okay? Grabbing the bat again you open your door, looking in the hall way every door is open and every light is on except for Jacobs room and mom's room. Slowly walking to your mom's room you let out a little squeaky calling for your mom.
Turning the light on you scream and fall backwards. There on the bed lays Jacob with his eyes gouged out , guts lying on the floor and bruises cover his body. Mom and Dad have their hearts ripped out and guts. Everyone's head is chopped off and is set up to look right at the door. Trying to gather enough courage , you get up and run for your bedroom. Locking it quickly you try to calm your self.

15 minutes later

The fire, police and ambulance department arrived at the scene taking away your dead family. You just stare and answer quickly and quietly to any questions they had. Sitting down a police officer comes over and offers to give you a hug. Giving you a hug , he proceeds to snife your hair and whispers six little words to you.
