Footsteps

" Time for bed" said Kelly it was 8:30 and she was putting the Dickinson kids to bed.

"I don't want to go to bed" said Aidan

" Come on Aidan" said Alana " do you want to get in trouble when mom and dad get home?"

They had made there way to the bathroom by now.

" Oh shoot!" said Kelly " I forgot to bring your PJ's up I'll go down stairs and get them"

" Can I come too?" Alana asked

"Sure, Aidan you stay hear" so Kelly and Alana went down stairs to get the PJ's and when they came back Aidan wasn't where they left him

" Aidan" Kelly called, nothing

" Where do you think he is" said Alana looking a little worried

" He's probably just hiding" said Kelly "will find him" so they started looking and calling out his name "Aidan Where are you?" they shouted. They looked behind couches and chairs, under beds, around corners, up in the play room, even in the bath tub. After half an hour off looking Kelly was getting worried.

" Aidan" she shouted "If you come out you can have some ice cream!" nothing then

" THUD!"

"What was that'' shrieked Alana

But Kelly didn't have time to answer she was racing up the stairs with Alana on her heels. They burst into Aidan and Alana's parents bedroom and stood in the door wayridged as something hung limp off the dreasser on the other side of the room. Kelly flipped the light on and almosts fainted then she quickly covered Alana's eyes for there was Aidan on the dresser with something red on his chest.

" Oh my god" said Kellyin a shaky voice.

" What?" Alana almost shouted

Kelly was searching in her head for something to say when there was a slight giggle, Kelly looked closesr and saw that Aidan was breathing, and the blood was katchup.

"Aidan!" Kelly shouted uncovering Alanas eyes to releaved to be very angry, then Aidan burst into laughter.

"Alright" said Kelly getting mad "time for bed"

"Ok" said Aidan getting off trhe dresser and leaving the room

Half an hour later both Aidan and Alana where in bed and Kelly was down strair washing the dishes. Suddenly the phone range Kelly jumped but put down the dish cloth she was holding and went to answer the phone

"Hello"

Nothing

"is anyone there" said Kelly "Huh, it must be one of those telemarketer's that don't say any thing.

So Kelly went back to washing the dishes, then a few minuets later the phone rang agian, Kelly looked at it for a few minuets but then she went over to asnwer it

"Hello" Kelly said only the least bit iritated a few seconds passed and then

" Hello Kelly" said a croky voice

" who is this" said Kelly getting nervous

"you better make sure the kids are ok" said the voice and hung up.

Now Kelly was scared but she decided that even thought the guy wanted her to check on the kids and it was probably going to end bad she had to check any way. So Kelly hung up the phone and started to climb up the stairs when she got to their rooms she slowly stuck her in first Aidan's room everything was fine then into Alanas room every thing was fine there also. Kelly took a deep breath and relaxed a little. She went back down stairs and started washing the dishes agian. Sudenly Kelly froze. She looked up there out side of the window was a face of a man. Kelly blinked and it was gone. Now she was really scared but she wasnt sure what to do. Then there was a knock on the door. Kelly slowly turned toward the door what should she do? Should she answer it; should she call the police. Kelly decided to go and look out the window. She slowly walked toward the window and peered around the curtain and saw the man walking past the window. Suddenly he turned and looked up into the window, a horridle grin spred across his face. Kelly screamed. Just then the parents walked in and found Kelly dead on the floor. They looked out the window and saw a man running away. No one knows if the man killed Kelly or if she had a heart attack.
