I tried keeping him from looking into my room firing away privacy reasons and that I would have to contact the police . He finally went away when I took my phone out and acted like I was saying goodbye to my nonexistent friend . He wouldn't question me because he might think that he heard my friend talking with his abilities as a supernatural creature . He also could not figure out people if they were supernatural or not , which was an advantage for me because I could feel the energy radiating from a person who was supernatural .
He finally went away . Marge came into my room not long after because he couldn't find Nate anywhere . We didn't want to find him hiding somewhere in our house and started searching all around the house . Thankfully , he wasn't found anywhere . We assumed that he had left without telling anyone because Marge was taking a lot of time to come out of the washroom . We soon felt free again when Marge said that she had gotten a message from her father saying that he had an emergency and had to leave in a hurry .
"Well , I guess this is what we call 'unexpected surprise' !" Cora said making everybody laugh . It was only once in a while we got to laugh about something , when we were facing problems that no ordinary human would face .
At the moment , Cora , Marge , Nathaniel , Beth , Kate , dad , Ben , and me were in the living room . It was late when we were finally resting so without further ado , all of us were sleeping in different parts of the house .
I woke up in the middle of the night , after feeling completely refreshed and active. It was weird because I had only had 4 hours of sleep and I usually went to sleep for 10 hours at maximum when we didn't have plans in the morning .
I tried going back to sleep but it seemed to me that it was impossible at that moment . Whenever I slept late , others had great trouble trying to wake me up because of the way I am , my weight was so much more when I slept . Also , I could only wake up when I come back from my charging place , 'The Nowhere.' . Normally , I would wake up late because Samantha and the others would be busy telling me their life stories and all the fun they had when they were in Earth .
Something definitely felt off to me when I looked around . An eerie silence followed me everywhere around the pistachio painted walls . It was dark , and to my surprise , the electricity was completely cut off . I didn't want any attention to be bought to my house just because we had electricity when our neighbourhood didn't so I stuck to walking in the dark .
"Pshh!" The sudden whisper sound made me take a sharp turn to my back . I saw no one . I had no place to go to so I was merely walking around aimlessly . I turned back and started walking again . The silence was back and I could now hear the crickets chirp so loudly that I doubted I would be able to hear anything else within the house .
I was checking on everybody . I smiled when I saw Nath , Marge , Cora , Beth and Ben sleeping while using each others heads as pillows , making them look like a very short pyramid . I was halfway to the front door as I was going to get some fresh air when I hear the same sound again . "Pshh!"
The guest room was near the front door so I was completely sure that the sound was coming from the room . But everybody was sleeping in either my room , or the living room ! It was obvious that whoever was inside the room was not one of us so I stepped towards the room , slowly and noiselessly .
I reached the door . My heart was beating rapidly . My pulse almost broke out of my own body . The time slowed and I couldn't tell if it was my powers , or just a feeling that comes when one is very nervous .
I opened the door , finally . Peeking into the small gap that I made while opening the door , my jaw dropped seeing Beth , sitting on the bed and talking to someone on the phone . The person on the other end was so quiet while talking that even I couldn't make out the words when I sharpened my ear .
Whenever the sound was starting to slowly become audible , Beth made the 'pshh' sound to quiet who he or she was , and it worked as well . Was it actually Beth or someone who looked exactly like her ? I was confused .
She must have been really into the conversation because she never noticed me . She was smiling , and even laughing quietly . She never talked to any of us like that . Maybe it was one of her family and she didn't want anybody to know .
Beth suddenly turned her phone off . I moved back and closed the door , not sure what to do . I didn't want her to be more awkward around me ! I proceeded to running back to the living room and was going to act like sleeping among the pyramid the others made with their heads when I realised that Beth was still sleeping upstairs . Hadn't I seen her downstairs ? Footsteps were approaching so I just went on with my plan and acted like I was sleeping , apparently on the floor because I had no time to arrange myself with them .
There was many shuffles around the room and I felt like I was being moved about as well as stepped on .
Everything stopped at once for a mere second when Beth , who was among thee others woke up with a pant . I could see her horrified expression reflecting on our television screen . She looked around . "Phew ! I almost thought that I was talking to him for real !"
I now knew to which gender she was talking to . Was she talking about her ex- boyfriend or something ? I gave up on pretending to sleep . If she wanted to be awkward around me , then I'll let it happen if that meant that I would get answer for my questions . "Who were you talking to Beth ? "
She gave a frightened yelp when I suddenly sat up from the floor and asked her . "You scared me shitless Rene ! I - It's nothing to worry about . I just was a dream ."
I was genuinely prayed that she was going to say what I thought she was going to say but she decided that it was ok to stay silent about it and went back on her phone . I needed to provoke her . "Bet you 100 bucks that your phone's charge right now is the same charge that was remaining when you were in your dream !"
I was right . It did provoke her . I ran and came back from the kitchen with some snacks to eat while hearing her story . "Go on . "
The look she had on her face gave away that she was intimidated by my voice , as well as confidence . She sighed deeply . My eager ears were sharpened to it's core when she started narrating everything to me .
