McKayla finally felt the strength to get out of the apartment. The terror that had struck her before when she looked through the peep hole felt silly now. 

She would finally venture out there. Into the hall. There was something in the air. When she had been sleeping in Johnny's bed the night before she had felt like a different energy had entered the apartment. This energy was making her feel like she oculd leave. Make her feel like she could get over the fear of that mysterious person that she had seen through the peep hole doing that... terrible thing to her. It was all just a memory now, something she thought of rather than an emotion that swallowed her.

She put her hands onto the brass looking handle. Heard footsteps in the hallway. She stopped rotating her hand. Instead she leaned into look into the peep hole.
