Chapter 5 - Frightful Night (1/2)

It was late in the night when Jennet awoke from her sleep. She heard the sound of the running water from the bathroom. Turning her head to the side, she slowly propelled herself into a seating position on the bed.

Her brows furrowed as she looked at the darkened bathroom. Did I forget to turn off the shower head?

She flipped the quilt and stepped out from the bed slowly. Slipping in her slippers, she walked towards the bathroom. As soon as she opened the bathroom door, hot steams gushed out, wrapping her skin with the warm sensation.

She stepped in but immediately came to a halt when she saw a tall figure standing under the running shower behind the glass in the shower area.

Her heart suddenly accelerated at an intense speed. She could feel the hair behind her back standing and goosebumps appeared all over her body. She stepped back slowly and reached for the light switch.

Click! Click!

She kept switching but, no lights emerged from the lightbulbs. She glanced at the switch and cursed angrily. Why now the bulb has to be so problematic?!

She was too absorbed on cursing the light switch when the running water suddenly came to a stop. She turned towards the shower area. She squinted her eyes to have a better look.

The tall figure was not there anymore!

Her hand switch the light again but still, nothing happened. Frowning, she looked around. No one is inside.

Gulping down her own saliva silently, she stepped backwards slowly. I must have imagining something ridiculous!

She was about to turn around when she heard the sound of something falling to the floor.

Her body jolted in fright. She looked back.”Anybody there?” She called out, loud.

Her little heart squeal in fright. The hair behind her back standing again!

She stretched her neck towards the shower. Her fingers were trembling as she reached out a hand to push the glass door slowly.

She stood in front of the door, looking at every corner. Nothing fell on the floor. Even weird, the floor was not even wet though she clearly saw the water running from the shower minutes ago!

She shook her head. I better go back to sleep!

She hurriedly turned around, leaving the darkened bathroom in long strides while having a hand clutching tightly on her shirt. She closed the bathroom door and headed straight to her bed.

She jumped on the bed and immediately get under the cover, pulling it over her head. She closed her eyes tightly under the cover.

Go to sleep, go to sleep. She enchanted the words continuously in her mind. She kept silent for a few minutes.

The silence was broken again by the sound of the glass door creaking slowly.
