Chapter 1
The night howled on, the clouds silently drifting by. Everything was quiet. All that was heard was the drops of water falling from the patio and hitting the wet ground. It was 3:43 AM at Lirin Street, where the lights were all off, except for one that was lit up at the window just above the door, where a teenage boy, only 14, was under his blanket, on his laptop.
His volume was muted so that he didn't disturb the fellow people at his house - his mom, dad, little sister, Charlene, and baby brother, Charles.
He was on his favorite game online, S4 League, with a bunch of his friends online.
"Dude, move, I want to show you something," he said aloud as he typed. He moved skillfully with the W A S D keys, and could turn the mouse a full 360 degrees with a swift move of his hand.
He was about to show his friend a move he had learned when he heard a squeak. Yet the squeak was more than that. It was almost like an alarm to tell him that someone was approaching his room. It was the third step to going upstairs, a sign that someone was coming. But who, He thought to himself. Everyone's asleep. He silently put his computer to sleep and approached the door.
