'Bang!!'

Out of nowhere, the booming sound arose through the hallway jeopardized my nice seep. I groaned in frustration and opened my eyes. I glanced at the wall clock, it reads past eight in the morning.

Ohh... the sun raised already? I twisted my lips feeling ungrateful for that. It would be grateful if I get a few more time to sleep. Sighing in defeat, I peeled off the bed sheet from me before letting out a soft yawn but again I heard the booming sound from the hallway which almost caused my ear to go deaf.

What's going on? Then I heard a scratching sound of metal followed by a woman screaming.

Oh, God!! My heartbeat increased rapidly. I have no idea what's happening there but again a familiar voice got my attention, which sent Goosebumps in my stomach.***

I gulped down before letting my legs carrying me to the front door. My hand trembled in fear when my palm contacted the cold metal of the doorknob.
