I'm Coming For You [A Duolingo Creepypasta] ☑️

XIII. Hiding

I was paralyzed for a second. The fear had literally paralyzed me to the point where I didn't even want to breathe. That was until I decided to do something and I fell off the bed with a loud thud. I quickly ran to the other side of the bed and shook Karl's body violently.

"Karl! Wake up!" I whispered-yelled.

"Uh, wha?" He said sleepily.

"He's here!"

"What? Who?" He asked, still sleepy.

"Duo! Look!" I said, pointing to the cracking window.

"Shit." He cursed, jumping up from the bed.

"What do we do?" I asked desperately.

"Let's hide." He said, grabbing my hand and dragging me out of my bedroom.

We started running through the darkness of my house as the loud sound of my window breaking rang in my ears, followed by a very angry growl.

"Faster!" Karl whispered, as we descended down the stairs and I almost slipped, but I managed to keep my balance and we continued running.

Luckily we were barefoot, so we didn't make too much noise with our steps. But Duo's steps were so heavy that I could hear the ceiling cracking in every spot where he walked.

We arrived to a little hollow on the wall where I saved some cleaning utensils. We crouched and hid in the small hollow, which luckily was spacious enough for the both of us to fit. We tried not to touch any of the utensils, or else they would make a whole lot of noise.

I was shaking so much and I could tell Karl was just as scared as I was. Our bodies were brushing together in the confined space and I could feel my heart thumping in my ears, as those heavy footsteps were still heard in the upper rooms.

"W-We should call the police." I stuttered due to my shakiness.

"You're right." He whispered, placing a hand in his pants, only to curse at not finding anything there. "Shit! I left my phone in your bedroom!"

"Me too. Damn it!"

"Shh." Karl shushed me, placing a finger between his lips.

The footsteps had stopped. And for a moment I thought that Duo had finally left us alone. That was until a very creepy voice resonated all over my house.

"Wheeere are youuuu?!?!"

I jumped as the footsteps now sounded like running. The sound of things falling to the floor and breaking was heard. He was angry. So damn angry.

"We should escape..." Karl said shakily in a very low voice.

"How?"

"Through your door. From where else? It's close, so I know we'll make it. We'll run to the police station and tell them to come here to stop him."

It sounded like a nice plan. The hard thing now was to run out of here very calmly until getting to my door. Then just pray for not get caught by this beast.

Very slowly, Karl and I started to make our way out of the small space, trying to make as few noise as possible.

But me, being the clumsy fool that I am, my leg accidentally hit a broom and it fell to the floor, making a very loud noise.

I mentally smacked myself, and we both froze in place, hoping that Duo hadn't heard that.

"Found youuuuu!!!" He said from upstairs, as his steps started to run down the stairs.

"RUUUUN!" Karl yelled, grabbing my hand and we both started running at light speed towards my door, with Duo following close behind us.

Just as Karl opened the door and ran out, something grabbed my ankle and I fell to the ground. Then I was being pulled back into my house by a very strong force.

"DARRIUS!" Karl yelled, but before he could step back inside the house, the door slammed shut by itself.

Next thing I knew was that everything went black.
