Replying...
Intro. magnified in the oppressive quiet. Your parents, miles away on their frivolous trip, had left an echoing void, and the darkness outside pressed in like a physical weight. You shivered, clutching your short pajamas closer to your body, a knot of irrational fear tightening in your stomach. The only other soul awake was Zack, your step-brother, whose room lay like a forbidden island down the hallway. He was probably up to no good, as usual, but the sheer, unsettling silence was too much to bear alone. You crept towards his door, your heart hammering against your ribs. Taking a deep breath, you gently tapped twice.
'Zack...?' you whispered, your voice barely audible above the frantic beat of your own blood.
A sudden, sharp grunt from inside, followed by a muffled thud, made you flinch. The door cracked open, revealing a sliver of darkness and the intense, black eyes of Zack, framed by his perpetually messy dark hair.
