Oh God chapter 2, can't believe I had enough motivation to make another chapter. Again, I appreciate any feedback so please leave a review.
Kate woke up in the middle of the night, hearing a strange scratching noise she stood up. It was surprising she fell asleep in the first place. In the dark, it was hard to tell where the noise was coming from. She searched around for Jeff who was asleep on the floor nearby. They had decided to camp out on the couch, both fearing what could be on the second floor. He should've been a few feet away but she couldn't feel him. Getting low to the ground she continued searching, reaching her arms out.
A booming knocking noise came from upstairs. Kate's body jumped and her chest hurt. She breathed deeply for a couple of seconds. Ready to make an exit, she stood up and searched for the front door. Carefully her feet glided against the floor. Her toe hit a strange lump on the floor which made her body jump again. While attempting to jump over it she tripped, sending her to the ground landing hard on her stomach. While laying on the ground she heard someone walking down the stairs. It was a fast-paced running, very loud and violent. Kate's entire body was in a panic, she began sweating and her mind raced.
"H-hey are you ok!?" Jeff asked racing to help Kate to her feet.
"I'm a-alright you scared me though, why were you upstairs? Kate asked wiping the sweat off of her forehead.
"I heard something upstairs so I went to go see what it was, I didn't see anything though and I heard you fall" He prepared to go back upstairs.
She followed him up the stairs, her eyes finally adjusting to the darkness.
