Shadowed

Prologue

Creaking.

Creeping.

I just can't shrug the thought of being watched.

It's dark and cold outside.

But it's even darker and colder inside.

As the moonlight shines through my windows.

Somehow I feel like it's safer outside than in my own house.

I feel like the moon is my guardian through this lonely night.

But something tells me that I won't be alone inside.

That it wouldn't hurt to be inside.

If it may,at the very least,I could only look back at the good moments and appreciate them.

As I walked towards my bathroom door,I could hear the creaking sounds that the wooden floor makes.

You'd think that I'd be used to this by now,since it's my own house and all.

I thought that too.

Guess we're both wrong.

I could feel stares at me even though I'm alone.

The thought sends chills down my spine.

I mustered all the courage within me.

And I asked.

"Who's there?"

I asked.

But we all know no one would respond.

'Maybe it's just for comfort that I'm asking this?' She asked herself.

Until someone did.

"You'd be afraid if you knew."

She froze in the same spot for a few seconds.

Processing the events that just took place.

Someone was in her house.

Watching her all along.
