"Your father and i are going out for dinner Ashlen!" I heard my mum call
"your babysitter should be here soon."

"Seriously?" I heard my dad say"Shes nearly 13. Does she really need one?"

"Yeah! I agree with dad!" I called back

"To late! She already half way here!"

"Ugh seriously?"

"Yes. We'll see you soon ok?" My mum said grabbing her handbag from the table

"K." I mumbled back

~1 hour later~

'She should be here by now." I thought

*knock knock knock.*

I quickly got up expecting it was her. But when i opened the door, no one was there. 'It must be those pesky little boys again' i thought grumpily.

Five minutes later, there was another knock. I flung my head around looking at the door. I swear i saw a shadow or something.

I lazily got up off of the couch and opened the door. No one.

Ten minutes later, another knock. This time i didnt bother. The kids would just run away and watch me open the door in confusion. They're so annoying.

I was sitting on the couch for a while watching tv. And thankfully no more knocking. But right as i was about to get up to close the curtains behind the tv, i saw a figure or something outside. It was... watching me.

I quickly jumped up and grabbed the phone, first i called my babysitter.

"Pick up Carli, pick uup!" I mumbled holding the phone with both my shaking hands.

I got no answer. Maybe she was in a car crash or something. I looked up from where i was sitting. The man was still there. I could somehow see that he was an older looking rinkly guy.

Next i called 000. I got a response almost immediately.

"Hello this is 000 how may i do of service?" A lady sad farely  quickly

"I need the police. Quickly." I said

"Ok. I'm putting you through now. "

"Hello? This is the police. How can we help?" A man said.

"Um. Hi. Im in a house alone. And theres someone outside whos just watching me." I said. My whole body shaking

"Is this man on your property?"

"Yes he is."

"Ok. Where are you?"

"Um thirty...six....glo-wait no 36 Penton Road."

"Ok we are sending people over now. Its shouldnt take longer than 3 minutes."

"Ok thankyou." I hung up the phone and stared at the man

He slowly turned his body, but not his head, and walked away. Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I shot up from where i was and ran to the door. As i opened it, i saw three men wearing dark blue looking down at me. I quickly let them in.

"So what's happening?" One of them said

"Someone was standing there fir about an hour watching me." I said starting at the window.

"How many people in your family?" The second asked.

"Three. Just my parents and i."

"How big is the biggest foot?" The third one asked

"About this big." I pointed my fingers in front of me, widening the space inbetween.

"Ok." He said staring at the floor behind the couch. "Do you think this foot print is bigger?"

I looked behind the couch where the three police were starting. With wide eyes, i hesitantly said;  "much.  Bigger"
