The Note

Dear Alexa,

I know that you won't believe that it is me, but it's me, your granddad. I know that we haven't seen each other since you were five but, I didn't die in a fire. The body that they found was fake and I am alive and well. If you wish to see me or contact me, meet me in your favorite hiding spot in our old house. Please, I want to tell you of a great danger that is still to come. Don't trust anyone. Stay strong my little angel.

Love,

Granddad

After a few moments she continued reading the note and couldn't believe that her granddad was actually alive and that this wasn't just some kind of prank. She was so happy and thrilled to see that her granddad was still alive. She was now sure that she wasn't alone in this world.

While she was thinking about everything that could happen when she would see him again, she heard footsteps. She immediately hid in Taylor's closet and began listening intently. The footsteps seemed to be growing closer and closer. At first, Alexa assumed that she was merely hallucinating, but a dark figure emerged from the monotonous dark of the room. It was dressed like some kind of robber. The second she saw it, she instinctively gasped from fear and the figure immediately turned his head to look at the closet. Alexa was paralyzed from fear. She was sure that the figure saw her. Then it looked away as if it thought that that was his imagination. Once the figure left the room, Alexa could move again, but she was still as silent as a mouse. After about an hour, she crawled to the kitchen and the figure was gone. She was safe again, or at least as safe as she could be. Remembering the note, she ran back to her old home and ran with all her might, for she was going to see her grandpa!

Once she got there, she started pulling on the front door while yelling her grandfather's name. Eventually she understood that this door wouldn't budge and ran to the windows. She started throwing all of the rocks that she could find at the window. At last the window broke and she ran to the attic to find that nobody was there. Full of hope, she decided to wait for her granddad. She waited and waited until she spotted something on a desk.
