Just as I started to go into a deep  sleep i heard a CRASH.My eyes flicked open and suddenly i was wide awake.I jumped out of the bed and started for the door,once in the hallway i looked around i checked my moms room she was asleep. When i headed down the stairs i was hit by a thought what am i going to do if i find someone in the house and they have a gun! i looked down how stupid would i look trying to stop a burglar with my bare hands it my nightgown? As i tiptoed my way down the rest of the stairs i looked around for a weapon and cursed how well kept the house was why was i so tidy. Now when i needed something there was nothing but freshly cleaned surfaces and the pleasing aroma of lemon scented bleach. All of the lights were off i look around once more when i notice it is a little drafty in here but i was sure i that the heater was on eighty degrees on this chilling winter night.

Someone broke the window, that must be where the draft is coming from , the moon light is making the piece of broken glass glitter in an eerie way. i inch my way toward the broken glass shards there was a brick on the ground, and wrapped around it was a piece of paper with the type of letters serial killers or kidnappers use( you know the kind where each letter is cut from a magazine but different articles so that each letter has a different size and color) . It read " I'm gonna kill you" my blood felt as if it had gone cold. I ran to the nearest phone and called the police.when the police came Amanda was in tears."Don't worry ms. we'll handle this" she could'nt believe this happened to her, in this neighborhood things were supposed to be safer now; but even this did'nt  happened to her when her and her mom lived in the projects."

Now for the sake of the investigation i think it would be best if and your mom did'nt talk about this to anyone other than the police; do you understand" she shook her head yes in response. This was crummy night, and she still had to go to school.Ever since they got here she has been out of school while her mom was setting things up and getting things ready, now that everything is packed neatly she'll have to go to school this is going one long day she could already tell.She sighed  quietly and went back upstairs "the police will be able to handle things here" she thought as she opened to door to her bedroom. For a moment she took everything in the blank white walls, the plush white carpet ,and the white comforter on her queen sized bed. It  was a decent sized room she decided she went over to the window seat and looked down , the police were getting ready to leave her mom was talking and mabe flirting with one of the officers ,same old mom she started getting her clothes ready there was no way she was getting any more sleep tonight.
