And if that happened, what would follow?

Everything in the bedroom seemed to be shaking. She could hear Buster downstairs, barking and howling like a crazed wild animal.

The door went on shaking. For a few instants, Mandy seriously considered jumping from the window. But what if she only succeeded in injuring herself? How could she escape from her intruder with a broken ankle or leg?

She ran to the phone extension at her bedside and snatched up the receiver. Her hands were trembling so badly she could barely dial in Todd’s number. When he answered, she screamed into the phone, ‘Todd! Todd! Someone’s in the cottage! They’re outside my bedroom door! Help me! Please!’

‘Hold on, Mandy, I’m coming!’ Todd’s voice said on the line.

‘Hurry!’

The line went dead. At that precise instant, the insane rattling at the door fell into complete silence.

Slowly, hardly daring to, Mandy looked back at the door. The strip of light underneath it seemed to have disappeared, but with the bedroom lit up it was hard to tell.

She crept nervously to the doorway and turned off the main bedroom light.

In darkness, too terrified to breathe, she crouched down in front of the keyhole, felt for the cold iron ring and drew out the key as quietly as she could. Peering through the keyhole, she saw only the solid blackness of the empty corridor.

Whatever had been out there was now gone.
