I woke up with a start.

'Well that was an odd dream.' I thought to myself as I hopped out of bed and began to walk down the stairs toward the kitchen.

I can't remember the dream at all which is strange for me because I have a great memory.

I drank a cup of water, feeling uncomfortable almost as if I was being watched by something or someone.

Suddenly I saw someone run past the window their footsteps loud and fast as the Autumn leaves crunched under their feet.

I quickly put my cup in the sink and hurried into my brother's room, frantic to get away from the kitchen.

My brother was in his bed fast asleep with his pillow in his hand, light snores coming from his mouth.

"Izzy" I said frantically shaking my brother awake.

"Sammi what is it." He groaned turning his face away from me.

"Izzy I-I'm scared. I-I saw S-S-someone O-outside " I stuttered out fear consuming me as I felt as if something terrible was about to happen.

My brother's eyes opened widely as the footsteps were heard inside the house, they sounded like they were up in my room he bolted up and in front of me. My parents were in their room right next to Izzy's so it couldn't have been them.

"Did you see their face?" Izzy asked, determination and a little fear in his face.

"N-N-No. Once I heard the F-footsteps I r-ran in here." I stuttered out.

The footsteps were coming down the stairs slowly. Fear began to choke me, air felt thin as i began to panic.

"Calm down and hide in the top of the closet where you can't be seen. Im gonna hide in the boxes." Izzy commanded pushing me toward the closet.
