I woke up... Again? I fell asleep while studying again. Whats the time? I open my door and look over towards the grandfather clock at the end of the corridor. I let out a sigh of relief it was only 1:36 we hadn't had lunch yet. I had an uneasy feeling that something bad was going to happen I just didn't know what. Putting of the anxiousness I felt I heard my father talking down the corridor, this was of course where his office was or so thats what I assumed it was since i've never seen inside. Never have I heard him in there before he must have left the door open by mistake. I was intrigued on this mysterious room and the conversation my father was having, so i stood up and slowly creeped towards the room skilfully evading all the creaks on the floor. Reaching the door of the room I hid behind the wall attempting to listen to his conversation. Struggling I could barley make out the words
"fine", "please give me another chance", "okay" "I'll do it tonight"
I was confused and these words peaked my interest, however most the conversation was muffled I couldn't hear it very well so i made a gentle step closer towards the room. Once I had placed my foot on the ground I knew i made a mistake. Creeeeaaaakk! Oh no! It was over, I shouldn't have let my guard down he will find me I will be killed. I darted back down the corridor to my room once again avoiding all the creaks and quietly closed my door. I heard my father walk out his room, he was definitely looking for someone. I don't know what he meant by what he said but whatever it is it can't be good.
I couldn't get those words out of my head, they were on an endless loop in my brain which never stopped. What could they mean? Whats my father going to do? I just hope it's not anything bad.
Little did I know at the time what was going to happen, as downstairs my mother was scheming to do us all harm.
