Kyle also thought he could hear harsh breathing and guttural whispers. But the sound was definitely coming from behind it as it was a bit louder now. Kyle continued walking, a little softer as he’d become apprehensive for some reason he couldn’t explain to himself. Kyle fleetingly wondered if Nick and Tina were wrestling on her bed the way he and Nick did but that didn’t seem like Tina. It sounded like it was coming from Tina’s room.
He wasn’t sure what it was but it reminded him of the sound his bed made when he’d jump on it horsing around with his brother in his room. It was a rhythmic, squeaking sound, followed by a muffled thud. But he did hear something which made him pause just a few steps from the landing above. But Kyle didn’t hear any of the tell-tale signs of either sibling as he made his way up the stairs. Nick was would usually be in the room they shared listening to heavy metal or practicing his guitar. He figured Tina would be in her room, most likely talking on the phone or at her computer. Kyle made his way for the stairs that lead up to the second floor. He walked around to the kitchen, saw no one was there and then walked toward the back door and peered out the window. Maybe Nick went to pick up a pizza or something? Kyle set his controller down on the carpet and stood, stretching his limbs as he did so. Mom had said that his older siblings were supposed to be taking care of dinner tonight while she was gone. It was almost eight o’clock and he could feel his stomach growling. He glanced at the clock above the television. Kyle paused his Xbox game and looked around the living room and wondered where Tina and Nick had gone to. You have read this agreement, understood it and agree to be bound by it.
