CHLOE P.O.V
"Skye, call your mom…" I whisper to her. She nods, and dials the phone. "Hey mom, are you back home yet?" she asks, and puts the phone on speaker. "No hun, we're still at Harry's football. It's half time now. What's the matter sweetie?" she asks. "Mom, someone's in the house!" The phone goes silent. "Go to the attic. There's a way to it from your closet. We have blankets, food even beds there. Stay silent, we're on our way!" Then the phone goes dead. We get our phones, and open the closet. Once we're inside, she pushes at the roof until the slate moves to the side. We climb up and what looks like the attic looks more like an amazing games room. In the corner there's a fuse ball table, and opposite it (to the right of us) is an air hockey table. There is 5 recliners in total, and a massive plasma TV on the wall. Skye moves the slate back into place, and we all sit on a recliner, and put our feet up.
It's been an hour since we got here. We can't hear anything, but Aria (Skye's mom) is stuck in traffic and told us not under any circumstance to leave the room. I have beaten Charlie and air hockey, and she doesn't like to lose, so we had a rematch. And she won (because I let her), so now she's sitting smugly watching Netflix, whishing she could add the chill.
SKYE P.O.V
"Guys, look. There is clearly no one downstairs. We've been in here what, an hour? You'd have thought we'd hear at least stairs creaking, or doors opening!" They stare at me. Chloe starts to nod, but Charlotte keeps a straight yet sassy look. "No," she starts off with, "if you're indicating we leave here, than no!" she says to me. "Why?!" I whine at her. "Yeh Charlie, don't be a party pooper!" Chloe adds. Charlotte stands her ground. "1. I'm just trying to look out for you guys, 2. I can't be a party pooper because we're not at a party!" Chloe rolls her eyes, and walks towards the exit. "Anyone else coming?"
I nod and run after her. We open the latch, and climb down into the inside of my wardrobe. I am about to open the door, when I hear something. I nudge the door a tiny bit, and see a black figure going through my belongings. They're looking at something… MY DIARY! I stumble back, and crash into the ladder. It bangs, and I hear a book being dropped. I shove Chloe up the ladder, and quickly follow her. I can hear the closet door opening, and I still have a couple more rungs to climb. I've probably got 10 seconds before the person to see me. I haul myself up, and grab Chloe and Charlie. They pull me up, and just in the nick of time. We carefully place back the roof tile, and stay silent.
ARIA P.O.V
We're on our way back from Harry's football. We couldn't miss it, it was the final. And my baby scored the winning goal. Just don't tell Skye, she thinks there is bad traffic and I left an hour ago. I have actually just left. Harry's gone to a friend's house though, just in case anything bad were to happen. She was probably over exaggerating, we have really creaky floorboards. It's not like they have an –A out to get them like we did. Or maybe they do. That thought speeds me up, and as I near home, I spot open doors, and mine and Ezra's large window smashed. I grab Ezra's wrist, and he holds my free hand. I park in the driveway and rush out of the car. "Babe, wait!" Ezra yells at me. I turn my back to the house and wait for him to get out the car. "Call 911!" I tell him. He nods and gets out his phone. I take his hand, and we walk into the house. We tiptoe around the house, and after an hour of searching downstairs, we are positive no one is down here.
I take his hand for support, and we walk up the stairs. It's so quiet, you can only hear the sound of us breathing. Then a crash comes from Skye's room. I run up the stairs, and fling open her door. I see a black figure staring at me, and then watch them jump out the window. I run to the ledge, and see them run off. How did they land that jump without dying. "Babe, stay there!" Ezra calls quietly to me. I hear the panic in his voice, and rush over to the wardrobe. I see Skye in a heap at the bottom of the ladder. I look up to see Charlotte and Chloe staring down. "Call an ambulance Ezra… NOW!" I scream at him. Tears are pouring as I rush to her side. I look up at the girls and manage to get out "girls, what happened?"
SORRY FOR NOT UPLOADING YESTERDAY/DAY BEFORE. I WAS BUSY WITH SPORTS & FRIENDS THAT NEEDED ME X
