All alone

To Jonny maybe they are trying to scare him too. Are they not seeing how the night has tormented him already? They are maybe hiding somewhere in the house or maybe in the closet. Could it be that they are the ones who switch off the power from the main meter box, so now that their plan of getting him from his room to theirs has succeeded, they are now hiding somewhere waiting to scare the hell out of him.

"Am not going to give them the satisfaction of scaring me, I want to act courageous and being that now I know their plan of scaring me and that they are hiding somewhere am not going to be scared, and I want to see the look on their faces when they discover that am not easy to scare." He said to himself.

Scaring me won't be easy, he said to himself. He decided to go to the dining room to fetch his flashlight where he left it by the chair he sat on while eating. Moving to the dining room won't be difficult after all I have made it to here in this room alive from my room. There is nothing in the corridor and definitely, there is nothing inside the house either, Jonny believed.

My parents are just hiding, or they went out to check on something outside. They will come back and find him waiting in the sitting room. Jonny moved slowly towards the living room, and continued to dining room where he left his flashlight. He mastered inside the house very well, and now maneuvering his way was so easy in that darkness, and he can't knock himself on anything that is lying on the ground.

It was not a hard to finding his way to the dining. On reaching the dining hall he found his flashlight just besides the chair where he left it some hours ago. He was delighted when he found it besides the chair and the happiness made him knocked his head on the table while bending to pick it up.

"Everything is going to be alright now with this flashlight and am going to make sure I search the whole house," Jonny said. He picks up the flashlight switched it on.

"Goodness, it is good to have a light!" He exclaimed.

Now with the flashlight in his hand, he chooses to start with the kitchen, to search for any suspicious thing in there, then from the kitchen he progressed on to the living room, and as it was a kitchen there too, he finds nothing. A certain weird feeling started to roll back the feeling he did not like. He has had this kind of feeling before and he did not like it, something is surely not right in the house. But what could it be? He was sure something was wrong, but he could not figure it out.

The front door was locked, and the keys were on the counter where they are always placed when people are inside so was certain that his parents cannot be outside, the back door they can't use. For it to be opened they had to remove all the furniture that was stocked in front of it and to access it, someone surely has to pass through the front door to outside to remove all those furniture. He rushed again to the parent's bedroom for the house was starting to feel strange even with the flashlight in his hand he did not believe he is safe being alone in the sitting room.

Jonny found his dad flashlight on the top of the reading table in the bedroom. It is strange because even with the darkness his father and mother decided to leave the flashlight on the table that is not logical. There are not supposed to do that, they are to have it on their hand if they are to leave the bedroom, Jonny thought. But now that found their flashlight then they have not left the room and they are hiding somewhere in there, but where could they be?

That bedroom is not a bungalow, and with lots of rooms that he could not see all of it with a single glance. There is an only partition for closet, space for bed and reading table with reading light on top of it so there is nowhere they can hide somewhere apart from the closet.

He can now see the whole bedroom clearly with the light on his hand, and he did not like what he saw. His parent's bedding was neatly spread it is like they have not slept on them tonight.

"Guys it is not funny now, can you get out from wherever you are hiding, if you intended to scare me then yes you have accomplished it so get out, please. He continued, am scared and is scared to be alone in my room and you guys are not making it any easy for me, you are scaring me. Why are you scaring I like this and why did you make your bed, is that to scare me or what is its purpose."

He searches the closet, but they were not there. He makes his way to the bathroom, toilet and the store and no one was there too. He makes it back to the bedroom and remembered he had not searched under the bed. They have to be here, he assured himself. They must be, there is nowhere they can go to it is impossible to leave me all by myself here at least they could have notified me. Under the bed was neatly made and the not even a box or suitcase that can prevent someone from seeing all through.

He still does not want to believe that he is all alone in the house, he is certain they are in the house somewhere, but where? He has searched the whole building. He called them this time and louder than he has called before. It is not a joke now and they have to get out wherever they are. His loud voice didn't make any change for what all remains is that his parents didn't emerge from wherever they are. Now it is when it dawned on him that he is all alone in the house.
