As the sounds of my window fill the room i stay as silent as possible. I roll over in my bed to face sam on my floor, trying to seem as asleep as possible. Shit, I think, Sam's still asleep. I can hear my window open as someone steps in. i stare at sam's sleeping body, his black hair plastered against his face. Crunch, whoever was in my room stepped on the empty bag of doritos i had on my floor. I flinched at the sound but they didn't seem to notice, the room fell silent, but not for long. The intruder began to creep around my room again, being more careful as to not step on another one of my traps. I noticed the red pocket knife on my night stand, the round silver button seeming dull in the darkness of my room. Creek, The intruder's footsteps echoed around my room as though we were in a cave. I eyed my red knife and thought, That's all it would take. I began, wait until they got close, grab the knife, push the button, and... My thoughts were interrupted by the sharp breath of the intruder, they had gotten closer than i had thought. I could see them standing in front of me, on the other side of Sam's limp, sleeping body. They began to bend down, reaching for Sam. I reacted quick, before i realized what i was doing. I Threw off my blanket and wrapped my hand around my knife, startling the intruder. This made it easy to push them over and get ontop of them. Sam was woken up in all the excitement and helped me hold them down. I held my knife to ther throat. I crawled on to the chest of the intruder,"Sam get the lights," i said as the lights flicked on, I flinched at the sudden change. I looked down At the face of the man beneath me, or better said the mask. Sam seemed as startled as me. The person that i had pinned to the ground had on a white mask that made it look as though it were a girl who i was on top of.

"Who are you?' Sam questioned, trying to break the eerie silence. "Why did you follow me?" He continued, the intruder ignored him, they almost seemed unimpressed. they intruder let out a sigh and mumbled something that neither i nor Sam understood. "What was that?" Sam asked, a little more calm than before. The intruder still said nothing, they just sat there, staring at me while i was sitting on them. they seemed a little to calm for the situation. Oh Shit, I think as my eyes widened, I now knew why they were so calm. I look over to where Sam was moments before to find them on the floor, unconscious, then everything went black as i fell into the endless darkness of rare sleep.
