Chapter Two: Strangers in the Night

"Hey, I've got an idea!" I said as we were playing snap.

"What?"

"Lets ask Raine to come and sleep over with us, it'll be fun!"

"Yeah, I'll go and phone her, my mum did say that I could have two people over!"

Enya got up off her chair and walked over to the phone as I set out the next set of cards. Five minutes later, Enya came and sat back in her seat.

"Good news!"

"Can she come?"

"Yep, she's getting her stuff ready now and then her mum's dropping her off"

"Great!"

We carried on playing cards until the doorbell rang and we both jumped up to answer it.

"Hi Raine!" I greeted.

"Hey!" said Enya.

"Hi guys!" said Raine as she came into the house. We waited for Raine to put her things up in Enya's room and then we all walked back to where me and Enya had been playing cards earlier and carried on, the only difference this time was that Raine was playing with us.

We talked about everything that night, school, celebrities, and how we all thought it was weird that we had so much in common. Eventually it got too late to stay downstairs, so while the rest of Enya's family went to bed, we went up to her room, got changed into our pyjamas, got out the sweets and popped the video in. We ate loads and fell asleep half way through the film.

About two hours later, I woke up from a tapping sound coming somewhere from in Enya's room. I looked around and couldn't see anything so I decided to wake her up.

"Enya, Enya, wake up"

No response.

"Wake up!"

"What?" she said with her eyes still closed.

"Can you hear that noise?"

We both listened intensely as the noise sounded again. Tap, tap, tap. Enya sat up an looked over at me with a puzzled look on her face.

"What is that?" she asked.

"I dunno"

"We'd better wake up Raine"

"O.k., I'll do it"

I got up out of the bed and walked over to where Raine was sleeping.

"Raine, wake up!"

"What's wrong" she said sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"Me and Enya can hear a tapping noise coming from somewhere in the room, can you hear it?"

Raine sat up straight and listened just as hard as Enya and I had done only a few moments ago. Tap, tap, tap. There it was again.

"What is that noise?" Raine asked.

"I dunno" I replied.

We all stood up and looked around carefully in the room to see if we could spot what was making the noise. We all walked around quietly, listening all the time, to try and get closer to the sound. As I walked past the window in Enya's room, I noticed that the noise was louder there than anywhere else in the room. I looked up straight at it and saw two big yellow eyes staring back at me.

"Argh!"

I screamed and fell backwards. Immediately, Enya and Raine spun round to see what had happened. As they came over to me to help me up, the noise sounded again, only this time we knew where it was coming from. I pointed up at the window and tried to get my words out.

"T-the win-window, the noise is com-coming from t-the window!" I stuttered as I got back on my feet.

Enya let go of my arm and walked over to the window, being the brave vest of the three of us, as me and Raine backed away. She stopped directly below it and looked out of it. She studied it for a bit before I saw her sigh with relief, apparently she knew what it was outside the window. She reached up to the handle and pulled it down. As soon as it was fully open, in swooped three large barn owls. One flew over and landed in front of me, one flew over and landed in front of Raine and the third landed in front of Enya. Each dropped a letter that they held in their beaks in front of us. We all looked at each other before bending down and picking the letters up, that each owl had dropped.

A/N: Cliff-hanger! Evil aren't I? O.k. next chapter will be out as soon as I finish writing it! Hope you all enjoyed this one! Please, please review and no flames! Thanks!
