Chapter 14

“Let me out! Let me out!” the high-pitched voice called angrily.

Kris sat up with a jolt. Her entire body convulsed in a shudder of fear.

Her eyes darted to the other bed. Lindy hadn’t moved.

“Did—did you hear it?” Kris stammered.

“Hear what?” Lindy asked sleepily.

“The voice,” Kris whispered. “In the closet.”

“Huh?” Lindy asked sleepily. “What are you talking about? It’s three in the morning. Can’t we get some sleep?” “But, Lindy—” Kris lowered her feet to the floor. Her heart was thudding in her chest. “Wake up. Listen to me! Mr. Wood was calling to me. He was talking!” Lindy raised her head and listened.

Silence.

“I don’t hear anything, Kris. Really. Maybe you were dreaming.” “No!” Kris shrieked, feeling herself lose control. “It wasn’t a dream! I’m so scared, Lindy. I’m just so scared!” Suddenly Kris was trembling all over, and hot tears were pouring down her cheeks.

Lindy stood up and moved to the edge of her sister’s bed.

“Something h-horrible is going on here, Lindy,” Kris stammered through her tears.

“And I know who’s doing it,” Lindy whispered, leaning over her twin, putting a comforting hand on her quivering shoulder.

“Huh?”

“Yes. I know who’s been doing it all,” Lindy whispered. “I know who it is.” “Who?” Kris asked breathlessly.
