The Back Door

The First

                I wake up to the sound of nothing. It sounds strange but it's not normal. There's always a sound of crickets in the background but I just didn't hear it. I look to my phone and it's 1:40am. A few seconds later I hear loud noises from outside and I see flashes of light. I just scared the crap out of myself for no reason its just that the power was out. It quickly turned back on but then I hear my sister get up. I went to see what she was doing.

"Julia are you down here? Where are you?" I say. But as I walk down the stairs I see her around the corner. I quickly run over to her because I knew something was not right.

"Julia are you okay? Do I need to get mom and dad?" I quickly realized that she was sleep walking. But the weird thing was that the back door was wide open and there was a dark figure. Luckily they weren't near the door they were just sitting on the porch. I quickly closed the door and locked it. Running quickly up the stairs I wake my parents up.

"There is someone on the porch! I don't know who it is."

"Honey you are probably just imagining it. Go back to sleep." my mom says.

"I know what I saw come on. We need to call the police."

"Let me go down and look." My dad says.

We walk down the stairs together and we turn the light on and no one was there. I swore I saw someone. I'm not going crazy! I saw them. I know I did.

"See no one's there okay. Go get some rest."

I go back to bed paranoid. I can't sleep and I won't. I know I saw something.
