She was roused from her slumber by the rhythmic tread of footstepsing and going.


    Kendra’s eyes snapped open.


    Her room was shrouded in darkness.


    Peering out the window, she saw only an overcast sky devoid of moonlight.


    Right then, Kendra caught the faint sound of footsteps rustling by the door.


    They were as gentle as a whisper, pacing back and forth.


    And it had been Lingering just beyond her room.


    Kendra’s heart raced.


    She nudged Benny, sleeping beside her, and whispered, “Benny, did you hear that? Footsteps outside?”


    Benny grumbled, “There’s no footsteps.


    Just sleep.


    ”


    “But I’m sure there are footsteps.


    Listen carefully.


    ”


    Kendra insisted, preventing Benny from returning to sleep, urging him to listen.


    Yet, after a long while, Benny heard nothing and said, “You’re imagining things.


    ”


    Then, he fell back into slumber.


    Seeing that Benny had slipped back into slumber, Kendra refrained from rousing him.


    Just then, the footsteps outside their room resumed, causing her heart to race.


    She gingerly slipped out of bed, quietly cracked open the door, and peered outside.


    Yet, there was absolute silence beyond the room.


    Kendra returned to bed, filled with suspicion and unable to fall back asleep.


    On the second morning, sporting deep, tired shadows beneath her eyes, Kendra encountered Lindsey as she stepped out of her room.


    “Oh, Kendra, what happened to youst night? Your under-eye bags are weighing you down.


    ” Lindsey gazed at Kendra through her bright eyes.


    Looking at Lindsey, Kendra was suddenly reminded of the previous night’s footsteps.


    With a firm tone, she used, “Lindsey, was that youst night?”


    “What are you talking about?” Lindsey put on an innocent frown.


    “You were the one walking near the door to frighten me, right?”


    Kendra, weary from a sleepless night, was desperate to uncover the cause of her unrest.


    She fixed Lindsey with a piercing stare.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “You had a nightmare, right? I spent the entire night in my room, not setting foot outside.


    ” Afterward, Lindsey descended the stairs, paying no heed to Kendra.


    Kendra stood frozen.


    If it wasn’t Lindsey, who could it be? She felt a chill run down her spine.


    However, Kendra never believed in supernatural phenomena.


    She suspected Lindsey was up to mischief in the dark.


    So, she bought several hidden cameras online, intending to covertly install one in Lindsey’s room to verify her honesty.


    That night, Kendra heard footsteps again, apanied asionally by a kid’sughter.


    But the moment Benny stirred awake, the noise would abruptly cease.
