Chapter 1
The night is calm and peaceful like so many other winters nights. My mum, dad, and sister all sitting in our small cosy lounge room in front of the fire place. My mother knitting a scarf, dad reading the paper, my younger sister Annie cuddling with her teddy bear, and me watching the fire crackle while taking in the warmth and playing with my long brown hair.
"Alright girls time for bed" dad exclaimed whilst walking into the kitchen and finishing his coffee. "Aaaawwww" sighed Annie and I collectively, "no excuses, now off to bed its getting late". "But it's only 9 o'clock" I sighed. "Becky don’t argue, bed now" mum said.
I sighed again but got up, said good night to mum and dad, then went to my room where Annie was getting ready for bed. " Becky can you tuck me and Mr Ted in pleeeaaase?" Annie asked whilst yawning. I gave her a half hearted smile, tucked her in, kissed her on the forehead then went to bed myself on the other side of the room. Well tried to over dads snoring, and being only a small house with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge room, and a small bathroom, he could be heard throughout the whole house. I tossed and turned for what felt like hours but eventually felt weary. I was on the borderline of sleep when I thought I could hear faint screaming, I sat up and looked around but I brushed it off assuming I was hearing things and fell asleep.
