I am fearful. I want to trust this girl, this girl who started everything. But I don’t know if I should. She seemed to mean what she said though. Someone is coming downstairs. What do we do? I glance over at the girl. I can see the terror in her eyes. I can feel her trembling.

The door opens, but nobody enters. I drop her wrist and take a hesitant step toward the door. I don’t see anyone on the landing or in the doorway. I step closer and slowly look around the door frame, up the stairs. It is dark. I give my eyes a second to adjust, and when I do, I scream and back away from the door as fast as I can.

 Words can’t explain.
