A Short Story : A Story?

Seeing as there was nowhere else to go, you shuffled over to the opening and frowned. It was dark and you could just barely make out a doorway to what was most likely another room. What really threw you off guard was how nicely the doorway was carved. An intricate pattern wove itself around the exit. Did that mean… someone else was here? At the thought of possibly being able to get out of here with the help of another person made you scurry over to the patterned doorway with little hesitation. The sleeves of your two-sizes-too-big sweater fell down to wrap loosely around your forearms when you reach over and grabbed the wall to peak around into the next area.

I apprehensively knocked on the beautifully engraved wooden door and prepared to run in case they didn’t welcome strangers.

I looked around. "Yeah, maybe." She threw out her cigarette and nodded to me before walking back into her room. I stood outside, just watching room five. *What the hell could be in there?* I leaned against the door, put my ear to it and I listened. It was silent for a short while, but I heard a muffled knock come from inside. I continued to listen. Another knock. Then another knock. And then, complete silence. I kept my ear at the door, just listening, waiting. Another knock, but this time, it was against the door. I jumped back, shocked by what had just happened. I knew there was somebody or something in there and the fact that I didn't know who or what it was, had me completely horrified. I just wanted to get far away from that motel.

“Uh, yeah! Sure!” When I knew I was l alone I ran all over town looking for the source of the snow. I finally found it at an abandoned warehouse just outside of town. I waited a couple of seconds before saying something but before I could, someone spoke.

I snapped back into reality and opened my door. I stepped out into the narrow hallway, and I rested my hand on the door knob. The door was almost closed when I had a sudden urge to sneak one last glance at my room. Not being able to let go of my room, I cracked the door open again. My eyes rested on the skeleton of the room, and I gently closed the door.

I leaned heavily on a tree, panting deeply with all my senses on full alert. If they caught me again, who knows what they'd do to me this time? After all this was my fourth escape, the last time they had starved me for a week and then made me run for several hours on a treadmill, shocking me if I slowed down though this was the farthest I have gotten yet. This was the forest nearest to the School which lied at the top of this mountain and I was only halfway through it with Erasers right behind me.

Alpha appeared out from behind a tree stump. I lowered my ears and tucked my tail quickly.

My friends disappeared into the woods. Speaking in our new friends' native tongue, I told the others to start making noise as I returned to the living room. I peered between two boards, gaining a narrow view out one of living room windows at the front of the house.

I bent down to pick up the machete and the rope and arranged the evidence carefully in my bag. I then made my way back out the forest, but I was too slow, for Mace and his friends greeted me at the main path.

I look around to see if I can see who was talking, but I don’t see anyone by me. All I hear are the leaves crunching underneath me. I start walking a little faster now because I feel like someone is

The room was black. The noises were subtle. I was hesitant but curious. I turned the flashlight on because the lights wouldn’t work. I heard a new sound. Heavy but fast breathing. I jumped. It was a boy! He looked kind of bizarre. He wasn’t dead

“ Um I don't know it sounded like it came from upstairs.” At this moment i'm freaking out, what if someone's in my house.

I got up quietly and then I went down stairs hoping to find someone but no their was nothing I then heard banging I went to the living room I heard banging under the rug but I pulled the rug I found nothing everything was quiet so I got tools and then opened up the floorboards I found a strange black shadow of a man I jumped out and the I couldn't believe it I couldn't know what to do the only decision was to defend myself or call the police the shadow then got out of the hole it looked at me it looked like it wanted to chase me it then talked to

My mind was racing with thoughts and I didn't even remember falling asleep, but I woke up in the morning to a knock on my

Every morning I woke to the sound of footsteps, then someone pulling back the drapes covering the windows, the smell of
