Hannah's POV
My eyes fluttered open and my hand raised to a tender lump that was starting to come up on my head.
Did I really just dream that whole event?
I decided for my own sanity that I did just dream.
I opened my door and walked down the stairs, stopping at the basement door. I tried the handle and saw it was locked. I smiled at myself and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a can of coke out of the fridge.
I sat down on the chair, sipping the coke and drumming my fingers on the table.
Why did I dream that whole event? It seemed so real...
"That's because it was real..." A quiet voice whispered around the kitchen and I felt a lump in my throat.
That wasn't real, Hannah. You're overreacting.
I jumped out of my skin when the house phone rang. I got off the seat and walked into the hallway.
"Hello?" I answered as I lifted up the phone.
"Hello? Is this Hannah?" An unfamiliar voice said and I got an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.
"Yeah." I said.
"Well this is Sandra, your Great Aunt's carer and I'm just calling to say your Great Aunt had a dizzy spell and I've taken her to hospital. She might not be home for a few days." She said and I registered this information into my brain.
"Is she okay?" I said, quietly.
"Yes she's fine, it's more a precaution that she will be staying in hospital, okay?" She said and I nodded.
"Yeah, okay, thanks for telling me." I said and she cleared her throat.
"Okay, I will come round and pay you a visit soon." She said, hanging up. I sat down on the step, playing with a piece of my hair.
I will be okay. It's only going to be a few days by myself.
A sudden breeze blew over my bare arms and I hugged myself, feeling the sudden chill in the room.
The chill stayed round my body for a minute then it disappeared.
What the hell?
I found myself going back into the kitchen, staring out the window into the unkept back garden. This place needed some serious work done to it.
I then heard the creak of a floorboard directly behind me. My shoulders tensed up and I whirled around quickly.
No one was there.
I rubbed my palms over my face, convincing myself I am overreacting because I am by myself. When I looked out the window again, I saw the sun was starting to shine, brightening up the dull day outside.
Perfect.
I needed to get out of this creepy house. I grabbed a jacket from my room and ran down the stairs to my front door.
I put the key in the lock, ready to unlock the door and I froze when I heard the breathing beside my ear again.
"I'll see you soon." I heard a voice whisper into my ear and I quickly opened the door, slamming it behind and sticking the lock into the keyhole and taking off down the path, with my hands in my pockets.
A shiver ran through my body as I thought of the voice.
It couldn't have been real.
It couldn't have been.
