Anyways, by the time I had realized that it wasn"t thunder, they were footsteps, whoever was in the attic had already opened up the door leading to the, well, attic.

I was mortified.

So, I grabbed a wire clothes hanger, made the hook straight so that it was pointy and used it as a weapon. Afterwards, I locked my bedroom door as the footsteps got louder and louder and I could feel the floor shaking underneath me like a leaf in a cool breeze.

At first, I tried to open up my window, but it was stuck into place. So instead, I hid beneath the bed. Click. I heard my bedroom lock open.

As the footsteps got louder, my heart raced even faster and my breath got heavier and heavier with every footsteps.

"h.e.l.lo?" said a confused voice, just as the source of the voice"s head appeared in front of my face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH" I screamed.

" Who are you?" asked the mysterious figure. I expected a sack head with bugs crawling all over it to pop up in front of my face, but, no. The mysterious boy looked to be around 18, had blue eyes, fair skinned, tall, red hair, and was thin.

"I"m Pele Elizabeth Ellis" I replied as I was getting out from under the bed. "Now the real question is, who are you and what are you doing in my cabin?"

"You do realize those are 2 questions, right?"

"Well then, answer both. Now."

"Jeez. Ok fine. My name is Lukas. I ran away from home and ended up here."

"Why did you leave your home?"

"I...got into an argument with my parents..."

"...Don"t lie to me. I can tell whenever someone"s lying."

"Fine. You caught me red handed. The truth

is- "

BANG

Just before Lukas could start his story (Hopefully not a lie again), We heard a loud bang coming from the kitchen.

"We need to go." both of us said in unison. We give each other puzzling looks.

"Explain later. Run now." commanded Lukas.

BANG

We hear another bang, but this time, in the room across mine.
