You heard a whimper across from you, coming from the blonde clinging to her boyfriend at the moment. She looked unnaturally pale, eyes wide open and was in a state of shock. Her boyfriend wasn't in the best shape either at first, but began to comfort her only a second later.

However, it was once again silent, no words spoken and no sound heard from downstairs. You swore you have heard footsteps before that though, they have happened at the same time as the other strange sounds emerged.

''Should we go check it out?'' You dared to ask the other people in the room, voice shaking slightly and only coming out in a quiet, unsure whisper. Some jolted a little at the sudden noise, others looked as unsure as you and one nodded. It was Valerie, of course. She looked as uncertain about the situation as the rest, but determination and curiosity shone in her hazel eyes.

''A-Are you people crazy?!'' was Judy's only panicked answer as she held onto Andrew's hand like her life depended on it. Paranoia and fear was written all over her face as she shook. ''We are not going!''

''Maybe it was just an animal.'' Dan suggested, shrugging a little as he glanced at the door and then the window. It was really dark by now, the small lamp in the room one of the only light sources beside the moon. He seemed to have calmed down a little, staying quiet for our sake.

''That was never just an animal!'' Judy argued back, her voice going up a few octaves and becoming squeaky. ''Oh my god, what if it's a burglar, or worse, a murderer?!'' She was hyperventilating a little; you swore she was at the brink of fainting from fear.

''Calm down everybody, please, we should go check it out. But arguing about it won't help.'' Faye said softly, her eyes going over every individual and ending at the blonde. She looked like she wanted to help her calm down and was clearly sympathizing with her, but they weren't close enough.

''You don't have to come along Judy, you know?'' Valerie interrupted suddenly, her eyes fixated on the door. She suddenly seemed stressed and eager to just run downstairs, her expression showing her nervousness. Everybody else stayed quiet, only soft and partially frantic breathing being heard.

Once again Valerie's voice pierced through the silence as she stood up, catching the attention of everybody in the bedroom, including yourself. ''I'm going down there; my brother is still down there, isn't he?'' The seriousness was real this time around as she clenched her fists.

''Didn't he come with us? I thought he went to his room.'' Was Andrew's response as he tried to remember what exactly has happened before they went upstairs.

''He was sleeping on the couch last I saw him.'' You answered honestly; he fell asleep as you all explored the house further. But if he stayed on the couch after you came back from the hidden library or not was unknown, a blur even.

Valerie narrowed her eyes as she shook her head and ran a hand through her reddish-brown locks, trying to clear her head and calm down slightly.

''If somebody wants to join me, go ahead.''

She turned around and slowly opened the door without making any creaking sound. You were quick to jump into action as you followed her, she couldn't just go alone! If there was something or somebody down there, she wouldn't be able to handle it on her own. To your surprise, everybody stood up after you two, even Judy herself, who did so shakily. They were going to come along after all.
