I was lying in my bed and trying to fall asleep. I would probably fall asleep, but after some minutes I had to open my eyes. I didn't know what had happened and why I had woken up, but I was sure that something had happened. Firstly, everything I heard was just a regular night noise. Nothing special, it was just the wind blowing in the trees and their leaves falling on the ground. However, there was another noise. It wasn't just the tree leaves falling. It seemed that something was stepping on the layer of the leaves. At that time I awoke. I knew that something or even someone was outside the house. I heard the footsteps. They were slow and low. I heard that something outside was crunching up the tree leaves. What is more, I thought that someone was breathing and it was next to the window. I heard the breath was very heavy. I thought it was a dog. But then I heard the footsteps once again. I knew that something was approaching my house. I prayed that something whatever it was would go away. Then I thought it had gone, but suddenly I heard a loud scream. It was very terrible. So I decided to get up and muster my courage up and see what was going on outside. However I saw nothing but the trees and the grass. The moon was shining and I saw a lot of stars. Nothing was going on. I saw nothing scary. Today I don't know what it was. And I'm not sure whether it was a dream. But I'm certainly sure that it was the most frightening situation in which I had ever taken part.
