I Cant Go Back To Sleep

Update from 1 am, I've been traumatized.

So, I was in the middle of my perfectly happy sleep, dreaming away in my penguin and llama pajamas with my stuffed animals to protect me (there are three). Well, at exactly 1 am, the fire alarm in my sister's room starts making the loudest, scariest sound. I've never heard that noise before and I don't want to. I've heard the fire alarms in my house and it didn't sound like that, it wasn't as loud either. And, no, it wasn't the alarm saying that the battery was dead, that has a whole other sound than what we all heard.

The sound still echoes in my soul to the time I write this. I was too terrified to even move as I woke up, I even feared for my life as I had no idea of what was happening. I covered my ears, close to crying from the fear. I could not even find the strength to ask my parents and sister what was going on. My parents flew from their room across the hall into our rooms, making sure we were okay, that there was no fire or smoke, and that no one was breaking in. My sister came into my room, her ears covered as well and the same fear on her face that was on mine.

My parents soon figured out where the bloodcurdling noise was coming from and took out the batteries to that fire alarm. All of our hearts were beating out of our chests, all wondering what had caused that.

As I am writing this, I am back in bed, heart and mind still racing. I'm terrified to speak, or even move from my spot. I know that none of us will be able to go back to sleep.
