Chapter Thirty-Two

Karen's POV

The house suddenly seemed quiet with no one around. I suddenly turned back and saw someone looking at me. I couldn't see his face but he was outside the window. When he turned back, he was putting on a mask and I screamed.

As I ran to lock the door, it was too late. He was already in the house. "Who are you?" I asked, retracting my steps. I was scared as many thoughts flooded my mind. 

He refused to say a word, he probably knew the reason for that question. I wanted to detect his voice. As I tried running towards the stairs, I slipped and fell down. Facing back, I found him directly in front of me.

I screamed and he dragged my hair. I winced in pain and he ran out of the house quickly when he heard a car honk.

My heart raced quickly as I ran out of the house. Brody came out of the car looking at me. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"Someone was....here.... He tried to kill ....me." I answered, stammering. Brody quickly took me inside and locked the door.&
