Feelings of the night -Divij

The night before yesterday my eyes opened up. I saw the moonlight come through the window. The blueberry tree outside was casting strange shadows in my bedroom. The eerie silence was only broken by the quiet rustling leaves of the blueberry tree.

Suddenly, I felt that someone was walking in the living room. However, I dismissed the thought as mere imagination, though the feeling had made me nervous. I closed my eyes shut hoping for sleep to take over.

My eyes opened up when I felt that this "someone" was walking up the stairs towards my bedroom. But, I heard no footsteps or creaking of the wooden floor boards. I closed my eyes again trying my best to sleep.

Then,

I heard a jingling sound of metal necklaces. My eyes opened again with a start.

"Was it my imagination?"

I remembered that my sisters' necklaces and earrings were hung near the stairs.

"It is not true.'' I said to myself looking at the moonlight in my room. I did not want to move my eyesight towards my bedroom door. My ears were so alert that I could hear the slow breeze even outside my closed bedroom window.

The necklace jingled again.

I froze.
