I was upstairs in my room dozing off when I heard the alarm went off. I tried ignoring it hoping that mom or Dad would soon turned it off, for some strange reason our alarm kept going off from time to time and we couldn't quite figure out what kept setting it off. Dad had planned to call in the alarm company so they could get it fixed.
I tried covering my ears with my pillow and go back to sleep but the alarm was still blaring throughout the house.

Why wasn't anyone going to turn it off? I got up looking at my clock, it was only ten fifteen in the night, I sighed getting up and head to my door. If you want something done you're gonna have to do it yourself. Mom and Dad would normally get up to check things and turn it off. I was just out of my room when I heard mom talking frightened.

"Honey, if someone's in the house we should wait for the police" mom said to Dad.

"Mom, Dad" I called out.

"Kathleen sweetie get back in your room" Dad said to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked scared.

"Someone's in the house, go" Mom said to me.

"I'm going to check it out" Dad said heading downstairs with a baseball bat in his hand.
