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.
