Secrets; The Key To Life By C y n d i
Chapter Title: Intruder
Lilly sat on her bed with her legs crossed and the satin green pillow in her lap that was given to her by Lucas when she first met him. The pillow itself had her name patched on it with a little heart in the corner. Lying in front of her was her orange sidekick. Lilly just sat there staring at that phone, waiting for someone to call her; especially one person. She stared at the phone for countless moments until she started to doze off; she started to pinch herself lightly on the arm to keep her self up. Flipping open her phone one last time to make sure that she didn't have it on silent and she might have gotten a text. When she didn't see the little letter in the corner she gave up. Finally she layed back on to her bed turning her head ever so slightly enough to see the time on her clock.
"Nearly midnight on a Sunday and no calls at all." Lilly said to herself, as she sat up and pushed herself off of her bed. She let down her blonde hair from the braid she had it in all day and walked over to her dresser. After changing in her orange sweat pants and white tank to go to bed she walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Faintly in the background there was a noise. After a few moments of figuring out the sound Lilly realized it was the melody of her ring tone. She dropped her toothbrush and ran to her bedroom to find her phone. She saw a name flash on her screen and she let out a disappointed sigh.
Its only Todd…
Pressing ignore she threw her phone onto the orange moon chair in the corner and walked slowly back to her bathroom to rinse the mint blue toothpaste from her mouth. Like always she walked into her mother's room to tell her goodnight.
"Night Mom." Lilly told her mother as she kissed her mother goodnight.
"Lillian, you're just going to bed now? It's nearly midnight." Heather sternly told her daughter. With a disappointed look on her face.
"I'm sorry; I've just been working on a project."
Lies…
"Okay Hun. Goodnight," Heather yawned to her daughter as she turned off her own light to go to bed herself.
Lilly walked out of her mother's room and quietly shut the door behind her. She slowly made her way back to her room. Once reaching her room she heard a noise coming from downstairs. Her eyes began to widen with fear. She heard another noise but now it sounds like its coming up the stairs. Without thinking Lilly grabbed her cell phone and her sharp nail file. She then stood still against the wall waiting for the intruder to make their way up the entire flight of stairs.
Oh My God their shadow.
Holding her nail file tighter like a knife she punched in 9 and 1 into her phone.
She saw a dark figure emerge from the staircase and Lilly jumped onto their back and tried with all of her might to pull them down onto the floor.
The person being much bigger than her eventually got free. But Lilly took her nail file and cut the skinny arm of the intruder.
All she could hear was her heart pounding and the voice of what appeared to be a man cursing and wailing in pain on the floor.
Now is my chance
Putting in the final 1 onto her phone she was a millisecond away from pressing send. When the man said something surprising,
"Oh My God Lilly, why would you do that?"
Lilly pushed her self against the wall in fear of the man.
"How do you know my name?" she whispered softly.
"Because it's me…" Lilly felt a cold hand touching her own hand slightly. She took a gasp of the cold night air when she felt it.
"Oliver?"
"Yeah, Lilly. I came to see you."
