The flowers on the other side of the road

Chapter five

I hear footsteps coming through the hallway getting louder and louder as the person gets closer. The only noise to be heard is the footsteps and the slight breathing coming from my mouth.

I am starting to worry and I am thinking about all the possibilities of who this person could be and what they might do to me. I look through the crack under my door and there is no shadow to be seen. This is like a horror story I start to freak out more then I already am and do a childish move.

I hide under my blankets of my bed and sit there waiting. After a minute I decide to be brave and open my door and see who this person is. I open my door expecting to see a man with an axe and one of them black face mask things that robbers wear over this persons head, but surprisingly there isn't.

I start walking around our house looking in every room and every nook and cranny. As I walk towards the kitchen I hear pots and pans rattling, I am petrified. I run into the kitchen with my hands up in an attack mode screaming. (I try to scream as deep as I can so I seem tough). As I have my eyes closed I feel someone holding me back by my shoulders there voice is soft and sweet and they say to me "don't worry darling you are safe with me." I open my eyes and to my astonishment it was a middle aged lady about in her 40's with short brown hair. I am still so scared and I ask her who she was, where she came from and why was she here. My voice trembles as I speak these words. The lady replies saying "my name is Monica and right now the other questions aren't important I just need you to go sit down and be prepared for what you are about to hear."
