How Can You Walk Down The Staircase Hearing The Creak Of The Wood

I reach over to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock, for what feels like the 100th time tonight, however I’m completely awake now and realize it wasn’t the alarm, it’s my phone. My heart is pounding so hard, because I know it must an emergency, for someone to call me this late. I dialed the number back with my hands trembling, finally I hear this little muffled voice that I didn’t recognize at first then I realize its Jamie. She said, “Please come and get me, I need help” I asked her where she was but she couldn’t even tell me, then the phone went silent.

As I drove downtown to visit Carol and Lee, I looked for a back way back in which would mean that I wouldn’t be seen. I wandered around for a while, eventually finding their house situated a few hundred yards from a McDonald on Bragg Boulevard and saw an alleyway behind the restaurant. I went to McDonald, where I waited a while before exiting into the back alley to see if I was followed. When I was convinced that it was all clear, I leaped over the fence into Carol’s backyard and up to the door.

‘Beep’
I answered the intercom.
“Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are here regarding their missing son” answered Sally, my assistant.
I signaled her to send them in. They entered with a melancholy look on their faces. Hand in hand they had a puppy like look that I couldn’t say no to. So with comfort and reassurance I urged them to share their horrific story. The story was that Matt; the Taylor’s son was reported
missing a few days ago. He was let go from school but never turned up at home. I assured them that I will do all that I can do and sent them home.

The case wasn’t that unique as there have been many disappearances and kidnappings in this town. Most of the kids are just trying to get out of this unexciting and dreary town or just wanted to get away

RUN! GO NOW!” Ava screamed as she was pushing Mia. They both rushed up the stairs and swung open the door at the top as the big, heavy, door that creaked when you opened it. The door leaded to the outside of the big creepy house. It was like a dog chasing a cat. Ava lived right next door so all they had to do was hop the fence and they were safe. Ava pulled herself up and leaped over the fence so fast like she had done that a million times before. and was perfectly safe but Mia was stuck. “Come on Mia! They are right behind you!” Ava shouted as she was peeking through the fence. Ava grabbed Mia’s hand and pulled her over. They both fell to the ground, and looked at each other with so much

I ran across the street and almost got hit by a two bicyclist, I pick up the newspaper lying on the bench dated May 18, 2007. As I flip through the paper I see the obituary of my mother, I knew this wasn’t just a coincidence, this was my chance. I sat down on the same section of the sidewalk I sat before, although now it has many cracks. I repeated under my breath “May 16 2007” several times until finally I was placed on the same street corner again. I’m almost too positive it's the right date so I run down the street and take a left then I take two rights until I approach my driveway. As i’m just about to open the backdoor with the key that’s kept in the seat cushion near the door I realize my parents don’t know me, and I can't just walk in. I head behind the garage to strategize, I came up with the plan that i'll knock on the door and talk to them about a lost dog for a while, hoping to push back their schedule enough to prevent my mom from the

The first couple steps were bumpy, my trembling feet vibrating against the crackling floor. The door swings open as I go to knock creating a loud screeching noise. As I walk into the unfamiliar home, I become more aware of the man I'm about to meet. I travel further into his world and can hear the noise coming from under my feet. I get closer and closer until I find it, the crooked door where he told me to meet him. As the stairs appears from the darkness, my path becomes lighted ahead of me.

Courtney and Becca had refused to let her wear anything from her own closet, and had instead dressed her in a combination of things from both of theirs. Becca had insisted on doing her hair and makeup, and by the time they were done she barely even recognized herself. Now she stoid in front of the house, in a dress so short she swore it was actually a shirt, and heels she could barely stand in much less walk. She made it work, though, doing her best to strut her way inside. She wanted Lloyd to accept her into the life he had made for himself here, she was almost dedperate to prove to him she had

As she went back into the crowd of people the noise of tears and fear hit her ears ,her mind began turning again on how she was going to get in there without getting caught. Then she remembered the back way that her and Bailey would always use when they came right after school. She snuck around the crowd of people and ran to the other entrance.When she arrived

Suddenly, I stopped. Standing there, 30 feet away from me was Patrick Dempsey. Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't boy crazy in fourth grade, but growing up watching Greys Anatomy, well let's just say I had developed quite the crush. I was in total shock and excitement, but that changed very quickly. The feeling of pure terror kicked in, for that was the moment when I realized that my family had continued walking. I yelled their names, louder each time, but the only response I received was strange looks. My survival mode kicked into gear and I started to run. I didn't know where to, but I pushed through the crowds. I lost hope and stopped running, out of breath. I saw a girl my age, talking to her mom behind me, and she smiles at me. I start heading towards her, and a look of concern came upon her face. That look quickly vanished when she saw that I was instead going towards her mom. “Hello. I was walking and watching that movie thing and I lost my family. Could I please use your phone?” I asked her mother. Without a second of hesitation, the woman started to look through her purse, just as my own mother would. She found it and handed it to me, I dialed. My mother picked up right away as

“Where have you been?” I hear the second I walk through the front door. My hand slowly crept its way across the wall struggling to find the light switch. I turned it on fully expecting to see my Aunt sitting in the living room with her arms cross and a stern look on her face. Instead, I flick it on to see my cousin standing right beside me with a worried look on her face. “I thought something happened when you didn’t come home. The town is so small you couldn’t possibly get lost. So a kidnapping was the only rational solution,” she blurted.

Rebecca lives with her boyfriend Toby in Hartford, Connecticut ever since her parents were abducted. Since then, she keeps receiving messages from a blocked ID; messages that threaten to bury her parents alive if she doesn’t cooperate. People loathe her despite her mesmerizing beauty. Under the circumstances, anyone is capable of doing this to her so she decided to have a deal with the person behind the threat. In room 212 of a hotel with an enormous blinking neon sign saying, “Welcome to Onus” located in a forest with spine-chilling trees far from the city, sat Rebecca. The silence inside was a cast of shadow, muffling the slightest sound and it was barely audible except her sweat dripping down and her deep breathing. Soon after,

Earlier that drizzling Tuesday morning, I anticipated the moment when I would excitedly tell my best friend, Krista, the news concerning the band festival that would occur the following Thursday. As the time to leave for class came and went, I realized Krista’s bus was tardy; I went to class assuming that I would tell Krista about the band festival at lunch. At lunch, I could not find Krista anywhere. I searched in all the familiar locations and eventually continued to my mom’s room, however, Krista was nowhere to be found. The only person in my

Late at night in an apartment Kayla was in her room reading a book called the Shadows. She was all alone. Her parents went out to get dinner but then it started to storm hard and the parents were still out getting dinner. So she was there alone she sometimes liked to stay alone but sometimes she thought it was a little scary. The fun part is she gets to do whatever she wanted but the scary part is that she doesn’t have her parents to help her so she would have to help herself if there is any danger. But there has not been any danger that she has been in. She was staying there alone but if she was in danger she knows what to do because her parents told her what to do over and over so she can keep it in her head and the rules were that you have to either fight or escape to the closest house and call the police she never had to do that before but she has been practicing with her parents for a while so she knew what to do and so she has it in her head at all times.

Piper rushes down the dark alley. She thinks she’s safe, but this is unfamiliar territory. She mentally punishes herself with every frantic step. Her mother warned her. She knows better to, especially after sunset. Curfew must’ve begun hours ago. She moves faster through the alley, too terrified to look back. Her heels make a loud tapping noise against the concrete. It echoes between the buildings. They’re going to find her any minute. She drops her purse as she turns a corner, she keeps moving, no time can be wasted. She knows they view this as a game and her just a toy. She hears something behind her, it makes her jump. She whips her head around, but there’s nothing. She keeps on her way, the end of the alley almost in her reach.
