I've been hearing my door creak for the past two nights and I'm getting spooked. Whenever I hear it I bolt up to check who was bothering me, but the door just slams shut.

I have a bad feeling about this.

The family treats me like a doll, giving me everything a child would ever want, but their perfect smiles give me the shivers. Their eyes bore into me when I make eye contact with them. It's like I'm a lab project and they're observing me..

At least, that's how I feel.

So, it's nighttime. I'm going to record whatever happens tonight so I can confirm that I'm not hallucinating or going crazy.

10:30pm. Nothing.

11:00pm. I hear footsteps outside my door, but it's probably Toby going to his room which is beside mine.

11:30pm. The door is creaking open extremely slowly. I won't move this time, just so I can continue to record.

11:35pm. The door has stopped creaking. I hear breathing. Toby? No, the breathing is a low grumble. Marco.

I feel his presence behind me, but I won't move or else my cover will be blown.

~ outsider POV~

????: I hear you scribbling, honey.

Emily: .....

????: Staying up past bedtime won't be tolerated in this house, sweety. You need to be punished.

Emily: Please, Marco. Just leave me alone. I really want this to work.

Marco: Don't you know it's impolite to call your father by his name?

Emily felt a hand cover her mouth, and saw Toby's baseball bat swing directly towards her head. Then, she blacked out.
