00:00I was browsing through them when I heard a thump from downstairs.
00:03I froze, listened, another thump from the back door.
00:06I crept downstairs, my heart pounding.
00:09The back door had a glass panel, and through it, I could see the balcony overlooking the lake.
00:13Nothing there, but there was another note.
00:16Come out.
00:17I didn't sleep the night.
00:19I sat in the bedroom, my back to the wall, watching the door.
00:22The balcony door, the one connected to the bedroom, was locked,
00:25but I kept imagining someone out there, watching me through the glass.
00:29At M, I heard footsteps on the roof.
00:32Slow, heavy footsteps, moving from the front of the house to the back.
00:36They stopped directly above me.
00:38I held my breath.
00:39Thirty seconds of silence.
00:41Then a soft thud, like something dropping onto the balcony.
00:44I didn't wait to see what it was.
00:46I grabbed my keys and ran.
