STELLA’s POV
I sat up the moment I woke up, stretching my arms above my head, and let out a long yawn. I covered my eyes with my hand as the bright sunlight blinded my eyes, peeking its rays through the curtain that was slightly drawn aside.
I stood up and walked towards the window to smell the fresh air when suddenly, I heard the sound of someone whimpering from the outside of the house.
I stepped back, frightened. I froze for a moment trying to figure out where the sound was coming from but the whimpering stopped and I stayed immobile, sitting on the bed with my heart beating so fast.
I decided to ignore it and started to walk towards the bathroom when the whimpering started again and it was getting nearer. Slowly, I peeked at the window and I could hear it clearly now like it was just coming down below.
