13 Heartless (1/2)

My heart was beating repeatedly with the continues rapid knocks.

I knew who it was and I was scared.

I shivered under the bed. I started crying silently.

”Go away....” I whispered. ”Please.”

The knocks continued for another minute until it was silent.

I didn't know it was safe to come out so I counted to a hundred.

When there was no sound, I came out from under the bed, cautiously.

I noticed movement outside my window.

When I turned towards it, I saw a pigeon flapping it's wings.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I looked at the window again.

And screamed.

There was my crazy father trying to barge into my dorm!

I froze for a second then ran.

I ran into the hallway.

”Help! Someone please help me!” I shouted as I ran.

Then I noticed Emily standing there.

”E-Emily!” I screamed.

”I-I know!” She shouted.

”We have to get out of here!” She continued urgently.
