I could feel my eyes widening, heart thumping and the sickly wet feeling of a bead of sweat sliding down my forehead, down to my ear and stopping there.

I wanted to lift my hand and wipe it off, but I couldn't let go of that stupid small hope of going unseen by this six foot broad shouldered silhouette, standing beside the now open door, if I don't move.

I opened my mouth to shout for help, to scream at the intruder, but nothing came out.

Acting on instinct I picked up the nearest thing that came into my hand.

Nothing apart from the silhouette's outline was visible under the moonlight. I watched as he slowly lifted his head and then his whole body froze.

I could feel my chest heaving up and down, my breath going in and out in a broken rhythm and then I threw the apple at him.

Before he could react I grabbed another one and threw it at him again.

Suddenly a deep, soul shaking voice shouted, "What the heck?"
