In My House

The scared woman walked in slowly, her eyes wide in shock as she saw the state of her house. The table and chairs were upturned.

Still, there was no response from the intruder, just an eerie stillness that seemed to suffocate the room. Tears flooded her eyes wondering if her baby was safe.

The mother’s heart pounded in her chest as she took another tentative step forward, her grip tightening on the knife in her hand.

Errands To Run

As 25-year-old Yesenia Abraham stood in the line at the bank, her mind buzzed with the usual errands of the day. Her sister Laylaa was at home, babysitting 1-year-old Zoyee, their precious daughter.

It was the first time she had ever left her baby alone with her younger sister. But she thought it would be okay, it was just for two hours.

It was a rare moment of respite for Yesenia, a chance to take care of adult responsibilities without worrying about Zoyaa’s mischief. She didn’t know that she had made a big mistake in trusting her younger sibling.

A Strange Message

Yesenia was a busy housewife living in Montclair California. Just as she was about to check her phone for any updates from Laylaa, a text notification blinked on the screen.

Frowning, she tapped it open, expecting a mundane update or perhaps a question about Zoyaa’s bedtime. Instead, her heart skipped a beat as she read the message: “I’m Baby.”

She looked at her phone absentmindedly. That didn’t make sense. “I’m Baby.” Frowning, she tried calling her, but there was no answer. Panic started to grip her heart as she left the line, hastily paying for her unfinished transaction.

A Weird Text

The anxious mother felt that something was wrong. Confusion knotted her stomach. What did Laylaa mean by that? Was it a typo? An autocorrect mishap?

Yesenia’s fingers trembled as she dialed Laylaa’s number, but the phone rang unanswered, each tone stretching the silence into an eternity.

Panic started to creep into Yesenia’s mind, mingling with the confusion. “Laylaa, what’s going on?” she muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible over the hum of the bank’s air conditioning.

Maybe It Was A Typo

She tried again, her fingers moving urgently over the screen, but still, there was no response. Why would she message and then not answer her phone?

A cold sweat broke out on Yesenia’s brow as she scanned the text once more, searching for any hidden meaning or clue.

Glancing around the bank, her surroundings seemed to blur, the urgency of the situation drowning out the mundane chatter of other customers. What if something had happened to Laylaa? What if Zoyee was in danger?

An Annoying Choice

The mother was stressed and, in a daze, she had no idea what to do next. She had to get home to check if her baby was okay.

“Mrs. Yesenia, are you okay?” a voice jolted her back to the present, a concerned bank teller peering at her over the counter. She snapped out of it and stared at the teller with a blank face.

Yesenia’s mind raced. Should she abandon her errands and rush home? What if it was a false alarm? What if it wasn’t?

Got To Go

The bank teller looked confused and annoyed. There was a long line of customers behind her. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

“I… I don’t know,” she stammered, her voice wavering with uncertainty. The weight of the decision bore down on her, each passing second stretching like an eternity.

She glanced at the exit, torn between duty and fear, her heart pounding in her chest. What if she made the wrong choice? What if she didn’t?

Maybe Next Time

With a trembling hand, Yesenia pocketed her phone, the text message burning a hole in her mind. Whatever it meant, she couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that gnawed at her insides.

She apologized to the bank teller without completing the transaction. She rushed outside and ran towards the parking lot.

As she turned away from the bank, uncertainty clouding her thoughts, Yesenia couldn’t help but wonder: Was it worth the risk to go home?

Rushing back home, her mind raced with horrifying possibilities. Why would Laylaa send such a cryptic message? Was Zoyee alright?

To make matters worse, there was midday traffic and she was delayed by twenty minutes. She kept dialing Laylaa’s cellphone, but there was no answer.

When she reached home, the sight of the wide-open front door sent shivers down her spine. “Laylaa? Zoyee?” Her calls echoed through the empty house, amplifying her anxiety.

At Home

As Yesenia stood frozen in the doorway, her heart pounding in her chest, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.

The air felt heavy, charged with an unspoken tension that gripped her entire being. She was afraid to go inside.

She slowly walked towards the front door. Her eyes were shocked to see that it was wide open. With each step she took towards the kitchen, her mind raced through a thousand terrifying scenarios.

Calling Out

The house felt unnervingly silent as anxious mother Yesenia stepped cautiously through the doorway. Would Laylaa purposefully leave the door open?

The open front door greeted her with an eerie invitation, sending shivers down her spine. “Laylaa?” she called out, her voice trembling with anxiety. No response.

She couldn’t bring herself to enter the house because she didn’t want to find anything horrific. But she knew that something wasn’t right with the scene. She had to find out for herself.

Nobody There

As Yesenia stepped into the kitchen, her heart pounded against her ribcage like a drum in a thunderstorm. The cupboards were open, and papers and cutlery lay on the floor.

Every step she took seemed to echo in the eerie silence of the house. She clenched her phone tightly in her hand, ready to dial 911 again if needed.

The worried mother thought the intruder was still inside the house. “Hello?” she called out, her voice trembling with fear. “Who’s there?”

A Big Mess

There was nobody in the kitchen. Just a mess on the floor. She walked through the hallway slowly, checking if the intruder was still around.

Her chest felt tight as she slowly walked through the house trying not to make a sound. There was no response, just a chilling silence that seemed to wrap around her like a suffocating blanket.

She took another cautious step forward, her eyes scanning the dimly lit room for any sign of movement. But she was alone, her sister and daughter were gone.

Yesenia stood in the hallway where she could see all the rooms. “Who’s there?” she called out, her voice trembling with fear. “Is anyone there?” she tried again, her voice barely above a whisper this time.

Suddenly, a figure shifted in the shadows near the kitchen counter, and Yesenia’s breath caught in her throat. She could feel her pulse racing in her temples as adrenaline surged through her veins.

“Who are you?” she demanded, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and anger. “What are you doing in my house?”

She’s Not Alone

The figure remained silent; its outline was barely visible in the darkness. Yesenia’s hands shook as she reached for the nearest object she could find—a kitchen knife that glinted menacingly in the dim light.

“I’m warning you,” she said, her voice barely more than a shaky whisper now. “I’ll call the police if you don’t leave right now.”

There was a noise coming from behind the kitchen counter. Was the intruder hiding in the kitchen?

Still Inside The House

Silence hung in the air for a moment before a faint shuffling sound reached her ears. There was no doubt about it, somebody else was in the house with her.

Yesenia tightened her grip on the knife in her hand, her knuckles turning white with the effort to steady her nerves.

She slowly edged her way into the kitchen. She wasn’t afraid to get hurt and her family’s safety was more important. She didn’t realize what a big risk she was taking.

Requesting Back Up

Fear clawed at her chest as she dialed 911, her voice trembling as she reported a possible break-in. Every creak of the house sounded like footsteps, every shadow a potential threat.

Then, the noise from the kitchen shattered the eerie silence, freezing Yesenia in her tracks. It was getting louder.

Heart pounding, she crept towards the source, her grip tightening around the knife she grabbed for protection. But she didn’t know what to expect from the stressful situation. Anything could happen.

Being Brave

Heart pounding, Yesenia tiptoed further into the dimly lit kitchen, her senses on high alert. It sounded as though it was coming from under the floorboards.

Every creak of the floorboards echoed like a warning in the stillness of the house. Then she remembered that they had a small wine cellar in the pantry.

She clutched the knife tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white with tension. She had to see if the intruder was still inside the house.

For Her Daughter

A faint noise caught her attention, rustling from the direction of the kitchen. There was definitely somebody still inside the house.

Yesenia’s breath caught in her throat as she inched closer, her pulse racing in her ears. “Who’s there?” she whispered, her voice barely audible, her mind reeling with the possibilities.

Suddenly the movement stopped. The kitchen was silent. Did the intruder hear her coming? Was she making a mistake to confront him alone?

He’s In The House

She slowly stepped forward. She could hear someone breathing heavily at the back of the pantry.

As she rounded the corner into the kitchen, her eyes widened in horror at the figure standing near the counter. The figure had his back turned so she couldn’t see his face.

Her grip tightened on the knife; her muscles tensed for action. “Stay back!” she exclaimed, her voice quivering with fear. She was ready to strike him.

What Will He Do Next

The brave mother had a wave of energy rush to her. She wasn’t afraid to confront the intruder. But she was waiting to see what he did next.

There was some shuffling on the floor beside her. Suddenly, the intruder let out a cry. Was he injured?

And then, in a sudden rush of movement, the figure stepped forward into the light, revealing its identity with a chilling certainty that sent a shiver down Yesenia’s spine.

The figure emerged from the shadows, causing Yesenia’s breath to catch in her throat. It was Laylaa, her face pale and drawn with fear, her eyes wide with panic.

Her teenage sister, her eyes wide with fear and confusion as she held out her hands in a gesture of surrender. She looked down at the trap door to the wine cellar guiltily.

“Yesenia,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “It’s me. Something terrible has happened.” The anxious mother ran to her side, but she didn’t know if she was too late.

A Familiar Voice

The figure turned slowly, revealing the familiar face of her sister, Laylaa, her eyes wide with terror. “Laylaa is that you!” Yesenia gasped, her voice a desperate plea for help.

Relief flooded through Yesenia’s veins, mingled with confusion. “Laylaa, what are you doing here? I thought…” Her words trailed off as she struggled to make sense of the situation.

But the girl was traumatized. “Laylaa!” Yesenia exclaimed, relief flooding through her. “What on earth happened? Why were you hiding down there?”

It Was Her

As she rounded the corner, her scream pierced the tension of the room. There, standing on the stairs, was Zoyaa, her eyes wide with terror.

Relief flooded Yesenia as she dropped the knife, rushing to embrace her daughter. “Zoyaa! What happened? Are you okay?”

Laylaa’s breath came in ragged gasps as she explained, “There was someone… an intruder. I heard them and… I hid in the cellar.” Yesenia’s hands shook as she held her sister close, the realization of what could have happened sinking in.

A Mix-Up

Laylaa’s voice quivered as she spoke, her words rushed and breathless. “There was someone in the house, Yesenia. I heard noises coming from the living room, and I didn’t know what to do. I panicked and ran to hide in the cellar with Zoyaa.”

Yesenia’s mind reeled at the thought of an intruder lurking in their home, her stomach twisting with dread. “Did you see who it was? Are you hurt?”

Laylaa shook her head, her eyes wide with fear. “No, I didn’t see anyone. But I heard them moving around. I thought they were going to find me.”

The worried mother couldn’t believe what had just happened to her family. “Did you see what he looked like?” she questioned her sister.

But the girl was too shaken to speak. Yesenia handed her a glass of sugar water to calm her nerves. She drank it quickly.

Laylaa said, “It looked like he was searching for something,” she pointed at the cupboards. “He didn’t take any of the appliances or even my bag,” she cried.

It Could Have Been Worse

Laylaa’s breath came in ragged gasps as she spoke, her words tumbling out in a rush. “I-I thought there was someone in the house. I heard noises, and I panicked. I didn’t know what to do, so I hid in the cellar.”

Yesenia’s heart softened as she took in her sister’s trembling form. “At least you girls are okay, I was worried sick,” she said, hugging the two closely.

Without hesitation, she cleaned the girls up and took them to the living room. “Oh, Laylaa, you scared me half to death,” she murmured, her voice thick with emotion.

Yesenia’s heart raced as she processed Laylaa’s words, her thoughts racing through a maze of fear and uncertainty. She knew they needed to act fast, to ensure their safety and the safety of Zoyee.

Zoyee was a brave baby. She didn’t understand what happened. She cooed in her mother’s arms as she was on the phone with the local authorities.

“Come on,” Yesenia said, her voice firm with determination. “We need to call the police. It’s not safe for us to stay here.”

Together, they made their way out of the house, the weight of uncertainty heavy upon them. But as they stepped into the cool night air, a sense of relief washed over them, knowing that they were safe, for now.

They huddled together, waiting anxiously for the authorities to arrive, the minutes stretching out like an eternity.

Each sound outside the house amplified their fear, until finally, the reassuring sirens signaled the arrival of help. But they were too late, the damage had been done.

Together, they waited in tense silence as the authorities searched their home, the shadows of uncertainty lingering in the air.

In that moment, as they clung to each other in the darkness, they found solace in the bond of sisterhood, unbreakable even in the face of fear.

As they recounted the events to the police, Yesenia couldn’t shake the chilling thought of what might have been. But at that moment, with Zoyaa and Laylaa safe in her arms, she knew they would get through it together.
