The sound came from the living room. The house was the only thing that was left with her. No way she will let anyone take that from her.

She quickly grabbed her wooden sword and ran to see what had happened. She reached the near the living room but was afraid to go inside. She was shivering with fear, her mouth went dry, and she was breathing heavily.

"You can do this!"
"You can do this!"
"I will run away if it's too dangerous.."
"Just a peak won't hurt.."

She took a deep breath, grabbed the sword tightly and charged in with a scream.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa--"
"a-a.." "uh-"

Her scream came to an abrupt halt. Her voice choked with terror.
