I sat up in bed, not sure what had just woken me. The next thud shook the whole house. I jumped out of bed and scampered to the hallway. There was only one reason why Kujo could be doing it: Brandon was too close to him. I was halfway down to the first floor when Amy ran out of her bedroom, calling out for me to stop. I didn't, and I heard her hurry after me. I stormed into the kitchen, expecting to find him out the door or something like that. An icy chill ran down my back when I found the backdoor wide open. What the fuck?
Then I saw the basement door open too, and heard Brandon's voice from down there, calling Kujo out.
"Show yourself, demon!" he cried at the top of his lungs.
What was wrong with him? Was he crazy?
"Brandon!" I called, sprinting to the basement doorway.
