A Scary Sleepover at Jennifer's
One Scary Lesson Lub dub, heavy breathing, lub dub. My heart beat was as if it was going to start pounding out through my noggin, as I was trying to catch my breath. I could hear footsteps coming up behind me like a tiger was chasing at my heels. A loud scream pierced my ears and echoed many, many times in my mind. My thoughts raced from one thing to another. After locking the door, the four of us clinched in a corner for nearly an hour. My day had begun normal. I remember I woke up, went to school and found myself with my friends that afternoon. My company consisted five of my closest buddies, Latisha, Alex (my brother), dawn, Kristina, and my best friend Jennifer.. We all had hung out many times before and knew each other well. For most of the evening, we sat around telling scary stories and gossiping about other classmates. Time passed quickly and soon, it was time to head home. The girls were all planning a sleepover party at Jennifer’s. Her mom had gone out of town for the weekend, and she was not willing to stay alone. We started our evening of leisure by getting into our pajamas, and returning to our scary stories. Before realizing it, another hour had passed. All the stories must have gotten to us because before we went upstairs we made sure every light was on in the house. The hair on the back of my neck literally began to rise as we listened to the cold silence. In the near distance we listened to three loud car horns and a door slam. We, then, jumped away from the window and started down the stairs. Half way down the stairs, all of us stopped dead in the middle of our tracks. The roof began to shake and sounded like a baby rattle, it was as if someone was climbing across it. Our pulses were bounding as we flew down the remainder of the stairs. Lub dub, heavy breathing. We then huddled together in the kitchen. For our own safety, we then gathered a huge sharp knife and the phone. We came up with explanations to relieve our minds deciding

    He said some nonsense about reading the books. I slumped to the floor, not wanting to believe this was happening to ME. He spoke more nonsense as I thought about the things we might lose. At that time, the door voice called to me. I was sure it was over, but the person at the front door went away.…

    You could hear all kinds of screams, the police rushing to the people, the men calling and asking not to bring their wives and children, and it was a great deal of confusion during more than one hour. You could hear the racing of the people on the stairs, the cries of children and suddenly there was a profound silence in our building. All the noise had ceased, there was a deep silence. Lia has fallen asleep in my arms, and I couldn't move in our hideout, and so the hours passed slowly. Every hour until my hiding place, I could hear the chimes of the wall clock that was in the living room of our apartment.…

    The world around me seemed to slow down. The low mumble of everyone in the hallway seemed to be muffled, or was it just my imagination? A chill went up my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck prickled. An overwhelming instinct told me to stay within the crowd and get out of that room as soon as possible. Away from the man.…

    It was two in the morning. I got out of bed, running on three hours of sleep. I ran downstairs after getting ready for a long bus ride. I saw my mom and grandpa waiting downstairs, as my grandpa was going on the trip with me. When at the school, teachers checked our bags, kind of like the airport. After this check, we were off (well, about an hour later). Now it was off on our new home for the next 12 hours. For the first three hours, everyone slept. It was boring and I will skip that. We then pulled over for our breakfast stop. When we stopped, the teachers passed out our boxes of bagels. We proceeded to get back on the road next, which was a rather long time. About four hours of driving through Ohio farms and Pennsylvania hills,…

    I let my feet feel the carpeted stairs inch by inch. A found missing flyer was framed on the wall as I paced up and down the hallway my head was out of my mind or was it my mind was out of my head? Screaming. Screaming. Screaming. It never stopped! Where was it! I banged on the wall over, and over, and over, and over again. I ran to the closet door and opened it. There it was; the screaming. There she was; the girl. I couldn't see her, but I could feel the chill. A victim. I closed the door. My eyes crossed and rolled back. A shot of adrenaline shoots up me. The screams poor out of my mouth. I can't control it. I try to close my mouth, but I can't. I start walking down the stairs at a fast pace. Foaming at the mouth I try to get myself together but I can't. Why. Before I know it I'm picking up my gun and walking at an even faster pace out the door, but how. Something's pulling me, but nothing's there. I'm walking faster, and faster, and faster. Past the river, past the boat, into the water, to the shore, through more woods. Walking, and walking, and walking, and walking. I stop. My upper body seems to collapse, but my legs keep me stable. I look around as if I'm checking to make sure no ones there. I take the gun to my head I start to weep and call for help... But I'm already…

    My brothers and I were holding each other tight, trying our best not to think of the events of just hours before. We focused on everything around us—the little warmth in our bodies, the sound of the train running over the hard tracks of the railroad, the rough floor of the train. We were quiet, making no noise. By some kind of miracle, my youngest brother, Adam, was sound asleep in my arms. The brother closest to my age, Levi, was just sitting there, staring straight ahead. We stayed like this, inaudible, until the train screeched to a halt.…
