LUMINESCENCE

DARK DAYS

It's still four in the morning when I heard a knock on our door. The dark shadows surrounding my bedroom were still and a stream of light came from the window. I took my panda and slowly opened my door. I heard voices : my mom's and my dad's. I also heard a different  man's deep voice, I'm sure I've  never heard his voice before.  The moment I knew something's up, I ran to the window and opened it. I ran to the edge of my balcony where my secret ladder was waiting and quickly went down. I jumped when I was half way down. I sneaked my way to the window upfront. There I saw my dad standing firm in front of a really tall guy. He was wearing black overalls and has a dark and mysterious aura.  He was scary from top to bottom. They were talking softly as if they were whispering at each other.  My mom was behind dad and she had this worried look on her face. I'm sure dad and Mr. Creeps were shouting but I couldn't  hear a single word coming from their mouths. I saw dad signalling mom to move backwards. Mr. Creeps pulled out a big scary gun from his coat and....................

Dad!!!!!!!  Mom!!!!!?! "Sweetie are you okay?? Having nightmares again??" I hugged her and tears fell from my face to her shoulder. "Hush now my little Sterling." Her voice was calm and melodic. I couldn't resist and slept my eyes out. I woke up the next day with a nerve wrecking  headache. I went down struggling to see straight ahead. "Mom what time is it?? " "Mom? " Hmm I guess she left early. Looking around the living room I knew she cleaned it again. I saw my watch on the kitchen table with a note on it. I took an apple from the basket next to it,bit it and read the note. I laughed. Nice one mom. "You're  Late."
