You've always had some on and off moments while sleeping, you would sleep through the night perfectly fine some days and other days you wouldn't be able to sleep at all or you'd wake up through out the night to the feeling of someone watching you, you had some moments where you've heard knocks at your window in the middle of the night but always assumed it was just something from PTSD because that's what your therapist would say, you lived with your grandma on your mom's side because your parents were both ex druggies, your dad would make promises to help and try to bring the family back together and your mom would run off with her boyfriend, she had just gotten arrested again so that stung you a bit, you always left the back door unlocked because your mom's brother, or your uncle, would sleep in the barn in the backyard and would come into the house in the middle of the night and would need to get in, it was pretty hard to close so you would have to slam it to close it properly, which would make a loud bang and shake the house a bit, you had just woken up at 3:33 AM to that feeling of someone watching you again, so you decided to ignore it and lay still in your bed like you would always do and hope to go back to sleep, after a couple minutes you heard the back door open and then slam shut, assuming it was your uncle, you ignored that too and kept your eyes closed to go back to sleep, after maybe 2 minutes of silence your bedroom door creaked open and 4 pairs of footsteps walked in, you shared a room with your older sister who was already asleep, so it couldn't have been her coming back from the bathroom or something, so you sat there silently until someone spoke up quietly.
