I expected to see darkness, but on the other side was the girl who rang the doorbell.

As I laid my eyes on her, I immediatelly stepped away from the door.

It's funny that, the first thing that crossed my mind, was not that she came back to try to contact me again, but that she stood in front of the door all this time. It was this assumption that scared me at first.

But after a couple seconds, while I was still completely still in the still of the hall, I managed to calm down.

I remembered that it's been almost an hour since she was here before.

Which means, she had returned.

I don't know why she came back so fast, but the truth is - she did come back.

I stared at the door waiting to hear the doorbell ring.

But I didn't hear any ringing.

How weird... Did it stop working. If that's the case, then she should knock on the door.

But I didn't hear any knocking.

I approached the door in silence, and looked out into the hall.

It was so silent that each step on the natural wood floor sounded like stepping on dry autumn leaves. I think I could even hear my foot joints working, like a perfect robotic mechanism.

During these 3 whole steps, my heart was accelerating like crazy.

So, I looked through the peephole.

She was there.

I asked myself.

Should I open the door?

Should I ask who is there?

Should I ignore her presence?

Should I watch her and see why she's here?

I thought for a few seconds, or rather, for one second, and decided that it was best to just open the door.

Whatever it is that she wanted, I'm not interested. Then she won't come back.

I put my hand on the handle, when another option came to my mind.

What if I just leave her there, and watch her through the peephole?

Will she go away? Will she stay there until my parents return?

No, I thought again, it's better to just settle this once and for all.

I still didn't really know what do to, but there's no time to waste. What I'm going to do is...

__ Open the door

__ Not open the door

Author's note:

That's right, in this story, you are the one who decides the ending.

So, think about what you would do if you were in this situation, or what you think the protagonist is more likely to do, and make your decision.

The next uploads are going to be:

Chapter 5.1 and 6.1 - Open

Chapter 5.2 and 6.2 - Not Open

That's going to be 4 chapter in one day.

So, you can choose the one you'll read based on the choice you took.

Of course, after that you can still read the other ending to see what happened there.

You can also go over to my twitter or instagram story right now, to vote on the choice you picked. It's going to be interesting to see what's more popular (@maksymaguiar)
