The Lancaster

Chapter Ten

It’s the middle of the Night, Winnie woke up to a disturbing sound downstairs, it sounded like someone was punching the walls over and over again, she got out of bed and slowly opened the door, she looked down from upstairs and was still hearing the sound, she quietly walked down the stairs, the noise stopped and she looked around, slowly walking into the living room, she stopped, and she felt something caressing her hair, she gulped as she stood still in fear, the caressing stop and she hurried to the staircase before she could go any further, something threw her off the stairs and she hit her head on the pillar, tears prickled down her cheeks and she managed to get up , she walked away from the stairs and tried to run out but the door was locked, with her heart pounding like it will come out of her mouth, she ran to the kitchen to grab a knife, she held it shakily, something tied a rope around her neck and started twisting while she choked slowly and the knife dropped from her hands, the choking stopped and she fell to the ground gasping for air, she got up from the floor and as she turned she her eyes met that of man, he was wearing a mask but his eyes could still be seen and he was huge, she opened her mouth to scream, he stuck the knife in her throat and Winnie woke up screaming, she stopped as she realized it was all a dream, she checked her phone and it was morning already, she held her throat as sweat kept dripping from her head.

 She got up from bed and walked to the mirror, there were marks on her neck, clearly shows that she was almost strangled to death, she touched her neck and it hurt really bad, she sighed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
