The Voice

Kelly had just fallen asleep when she heard a strange voice.
"Kelly," it whispered, "I am coming up the stairs.
"I am on the first step.
"Now I am on the second step."

Kelly got scared and called her parents, but they didn't hear her, and they didn't come.

Then the voice whispered, "Kelly, I'm on the top step.
"Now I'm in the hall.
"Now I'm outside your room."

Then it whispered, "I'm standing right next to your bed."
And then,
"I'VE GOT YOU!"

Kelly screamed, and the voice stopped. Her father rushed into the room and turned on the light. "Somebody is in here!" Kelly said. They looked and looked. Nobody was there...
