"What the~ !!" the girl ultimately exclaimed out loud after so much silence in the house.
The night was not so young anymore and this added among her problems; of being alone and having no freaking clue as to where her parents were.... One can say that this was more than just unsettling.
Sarah nearly dropped her phone and she seemed to stare down at it for a moment, contemplating whether it was wise. These strange texts coming from one of her father's phones told her one thing. Either something happened or this was a really bad prank. She hoped it was a prank and it wasn't very funny this time around. Did this mean that someone was in her family's home?
"Shi- okay... this isn't okay... No, not okay!" she whispered harshly to herself as she picked up her phone again.
"Hello?" she called down the hall.
Thinking of leaving the safety of her own room, Sarah looked down the hall and peered out further from her door. She had the feeling that she wasn't alone. The thoughts on the mouse and her own assignment were all but gone, except for nervousness. Carefully, she sneaked along the hall towards the shut door of the master bedroom. She listened for anything, but there was nothing except for the sound of the cars outside passing by.
"Dad! If this is a joke, this isn't fun~"
When she opened the door, the dark room inside was empty and completely unused. Sarah was more scared than she was confused. The only sign of life was the phone light on the bedside table. Before she could step inside although, something small and black scurried out into the hall, frantically. She pointed her phone at it and saw that it was the little mouse!
"Hey!"
She followed it as best she could but it was going crazy, going around her feet, clawing at her socks, trying to climb up. She got the message and kneeled.
"Hey, little guy, whoa... It's okay." she spoke to it.
Once she set her hand down to the floor, the little field mouse scurried right onto her palm and seemed to curl its body.
"Hey, what's the matter...?"
It was acting so funny and she felt worried for it again. The phone light in the room dimmed which got her to look again. She went in to see it and it was apparent that someone was using it. The unsent message spelled out, I am not who you think, but it remained unfinished.
The mouse saw what she was doing and tried to get her attention again, reaching its paws for the phone.
"This is so... what the heck??"
He got so squirmy that she nearly dropped him, but eventually she put him down on the table. She still had the phone. It tried hard to stand on its hind paws and proceeded to reach its little paws to her. When she neared with the phone, it started to claw at the phone as if trying to pull it down.
