"Haaaa...." Nate let out a sigh as he made his way back home from school. It had been another long day and he was looking forward to just getting back home and relaxing, unwinding with some video games and maybe a bit of anime. Unfortunately it seemed that life wasn't going to be quite so simple. As Nate walked up the little path to the front of the house he felt that something was....off. He couldn't put his finger on it but getting home this time felt different. Nate was careful when he unlocked and opened the door, making sure to be quiet as he crept inside, though creeping in his own house just felt weird. It didn't take long for him to find at least a partial source of his uneasiness, the back door was open, and from the looks of it the lock had been forced and broken. Nate sighed softly, about to pull out his cell phone to call the police, followed by his parents, but before he could call anyone he heard a noise from upstairs. He gasped softly before covering his mouth, looking up. Whoever had broken in was still here!
He knew he shouldn't, that he should just get out and call the police, but for some reason Nate found himself rather drawn to going up the stairs, creeping up silently. He heard a little more noise, it was coming from his bedroom at the moment. As he walked down the hallway he glanced into his parents bedroom, then his sisters bedroom, both looked like they had been ransacked. He bit his lip nervously, finally coming to his bedroom door. The boy hesitated for a moment, then slowly leaned his head around the corner to take a look, and what he saw was....to say the least...shocking. He couldn't help gasping loudly, more than loud enough to give away his presence, though despite knowing he should be running away his feet were rather firmly fixed onto the spot.
