Monday night, around midnight I was awakened by a noise. I had fallen asleep in the TV room and my fiance had gone into the bedroom to read (no doubt driven there by my snoring). So its pitch black in the house but I see a figure moving toward my kitchen. "Hon, what are you doing I said" kind of loudly because I have just woken up and I get cranky. The figure a person who looks to be about the same height and build of my fiance pauses and the heads into our study. I think to myself maybe she's just going to get some CD's or something when it hits me. That was not my Fiance.
You see on Sunday morning, around 2 o'clock, our neighbors down stairs were burglarized. Monday night they came by to warn us. Astrid, My fiance and I joked a little about it. Their story didn't seem to fit what we had heard (Loud arguing) and so I had put it out of my mind. Untill then that is. I realized in an instant that there was someone strange in my house. Or rather leaving my house. I heard the venitian blinds rustle as whoever it was beat a rather hasty retreat out my study window. By the time I got there, they were gone. Shutting and locking the window I called the Police, who were there in five minutes. They got great prints, nothing was stolen (laptop and Computer stuff wasn't even touched).
I hope they catch whoever it was.
Im still not sure how I feel.
When I was living in Greensboro and working as a clerk in a Convience Store I was held up at knifepoint and that was a lot worse, but I still feel wierd.
Oddly this time I wasn't scared just surprised.
