My sleep was abruptly interrupted by a slightly soft knock on my bedroom door, I didn't think much about it, since my dad tends to check inside my room sometimes, to see if I'm asleep. But anyway, I leave it like that and just close my eyes again, when I suddenly realize... The door never opened. And for the weirdest part, my dad never knocks on my door, he just opens it.

No, no... He must be only trying to see if someone opens the door and catch me awake... That must be it. With fear succumbing my senses, I open my eyes and look at my sister Mina, sleeping in the other side of the room, her bed is right next to the door, while mine is close to the window, I have a plastic pipe close to my bed, I used to hit my sister, if she ever tries to hit me first I mean, so I grabbed it, not for one minute I left the bed, because I was afraid of the little kid under my bed grabbing my feet, so I just waited for someone or something to open the door.

No one opened the door. They just kept knocking and knocking non-stop! I started to think of possibilities, it could just be one of my cats, but Jaqueline mews when she tries to open the door... and so does Jojo, it also couldn't be Bibi, since she's often out of the house at night. It also couldn't be my dog, but Amelie doesn't tap on the door, she scratches it. It could be my mom, but she would do the same thing as dad, and it couldn't be Mina, since after all, she was sleeping in her bed, so... What was it?

My mind started to race as thought of the other possibilities, I was on the verge of crying. What if... It was the man in the window of the guest room? That weird face of his... staring at me... Maybe he finally got to enter the house... Or worst, what if it was that girl? I only saw her once but... she could have showed up again... But... what if... it was that man in the corridor? That shadowy figure, looking right trough me with those red glowing PEARCING eyes... that FUCKING shadowy man... The one that appears in my dreams, haunting them, the one that sometimes tries to climb up my bed, just as I wake up... It could be him... But, it also couldn't...

My curiosity exploded in my brain as I unceasingly tried to fight myself against the urge, I was fighting the urge, to open the door. My body tries to move by itself, my mind, desperately trying to just go to sleep again, but, as always, my body is the winner, and I hop out of bed...

I feel the boy's hands in my feet, trying to grab me, but as always, it fails, i realize that my pipe was left in my bed, but I didn't turned back to get it, I went straight to the door, grabbing the handle.

I opened the door.
