"Keep quiet...If he hears us at all, we'll be dead!" Megan lightly whispered. My sister and I were feared for our lives hiding out in the basement bathroom. No one ever looks in there because the door is hidden in the darkness in the corner or our basement.

Two hours earlier everything was perfect. My sister and I were finally given the opportunity to stay home alone. My parents have never let that happen since Megan and all her middle school friends had thrown a huge party last time we were home alone. But trust was gained and Megan and I are now here, we are scared out of our misery.

Before all this happened me and Megan were playing the Wii and eating popcorn. Laughing and having fun was the only thing happening.

A knock on the door stopped the game and all the electricity in the house. Someone had turned off the electricity; Megan and I scooted closer together.

"Did you lock the doors?" I whispered in panic.

"I—I think so..." Megan replied.

There was another knock, and this time it was louder. There was no where to run. Our house is out in the middle of nowhere and there's no neighbors for miles.

The knock was coming from the back door. Megan and I slowly inched our way. Megan then put her ear to the door.

"Hello?" Megan said.

"Hello, can I come in?" A man asked from the other side.

"I'm sorry sir but, no." Megan replied

There was a big long pause but then the man said, "That's a shame, 'cause your door is unlocked."

The man began to open the door, making the girls scream for their lives. Megan and I ran towards the basement as the man was walking in.
