“OK,” my father said, suspiciously.

I looked down while I ate my roast potatoes and chicken. It was one of my favorite meals but I

j

could barely eat it. I wasn't ust sad, I was scared,

“What if Red Shoes got me too”, I thought while I stabbed at a piece of lone potato.

“I think it's time that you go have a shower,” my mother said, eyeing my barely touched food.

“OK,” I said leaving the table and entering the bathroom. I grabbed my striped PJs and turned the

hot water on. I stepped into the shower and let the water run down my face as I desperately tried

to wash away the traumatizing events of today, but to no avail. I turned the tap off and got out of

the shower.
BANG! BANG! BANG!

The deafening sound of glass breaking echoed around the house. I froze and immediately

hurried to get dressed and grabbed the soap container and held it high over my head, ready to

j

protect myself with it. My parent's voices ring out, “It's OK, it was ust my vase.”

I lowered my chosen weapon and continued to brush my teeth, my heart still racing.

I finished getting ready and walked down the hallway.

“Goodnight”, I said from the top of the stairs but there was answer.

“Mum”, I said my voice filled with nerves. “Dad?” I started to panic. I ran down the stairs, my feet

thumping on every step but there were my parents lying sound asleep on the couch.

I exhaled and continued to make my way back up the stairs. I entered my room, pulled back the

covers, and slid into the doona. I closed my eyes and let sleep wash over me.

2 hours later…

I woke up and gulped down some water, I had an odd feeling of being watched, I looked out my

open window. A large figure was outside my window.

“It must ust be the tree” I thought sleepily, but suddenly I was wide awake. We don't have a tree.

I strained my eyes, trying desperately to see what was outside my window and then I saw it and I

wish I hadn't…By Heidi and Amy
