My sister, Zoe, and I were home alone. My parents had left for a vacation and put their trust in me to look after Zoe, the cats, and the house. It was also the day of the community yard sale. I was using my mom's car to hold the stuff we were selling and all these old ladies were looking in the trunk and in the seats at the stuff. My sister was inside on her phone while I handled the sale. I went upstairs to get more stuff when my sister calls me. I come down and she said that the old ladies told her a man was going around hurting people. I looked and saw that all the old ladies were gone and Zoe said he attacked them. I freaked out and told Zoe to hide, then cleaned up the yard sale partially before locking the doors and windows and closing all the blinds. It got very dark very quickly and I was hiding by a window, looking through the blinds to make sure everything was okay. Nobody was outside and all the house's lights were turned off. The only light in my house was from the Christmas Tree. I figured with the car and the light, it would make it seem like my parents were home and the man wouldn't see me as an easy kill. Suddenly, I hear a car coming and see the headlights. But, this car is serving in the road and driving very badly. He stops right in front of my house and I bring to freak out again. I remember my head spinning and my insides closing in. I grabbed my sister and we made a dash out the back door. I felt so bad for leaving the cats behind. We ran across my backyard and went behind a fence of my neighbor's yard. It was covered in vines, so I figured we were okay. If it came down to it, we would run to a friend's house. That is when I woke up and I was so scared I couldn't move.
