I MAKE MY way back up to my room, uncertain of what I should do. I shut the door behind me and lock it, knowing that it won’t make me safe.

Maybe I can escape through my bedroom window, shinny down the tree. I’m so clumsy I’d probably fall, but at this point I’m willing to do anything. I try the window and it won’t budge, so I pick up my faux-wood desk chair and hold it above my head. When I throw it, I’m not surprised that instead of shattering the glass, it breaks uselessly and crumbles to the ground.

I kick the flimsy wood aside and try again to unhitch the lock. A bolt of lightning streaks across the sky and illuminates the yard. Someone is down there, standing in the rain, staring up at me. Someone with yellow hair and black basketball shorts. Coop.

I pound on the window and shout. I wave frantically at Coop and hope he figures out I need help. He doesn’t seem to understand, though, or he’s scared, because he backs away, toward the trees and his home.

“No!” I shout. “Please, come back!”

I hear a noise outside my door. I think about hiding in my closet, but what would that accomplish? I can’t stay there forever. Shaky, I walk across my bedroom, and before I lose my nerve I jerk open the door.

Blackness.
