A loud thump shook Onyx awake. He quickly perched up and scanned the room. The thwapping noise continued from the other side of the house. Onyx ran quickly to investigate, but saw nothing of concern. The noise continued for a moment, coming from the front door. This had happened before, but he was never sure what it meant. Loud noises for a moment, then nothing. Onyx stood for a few moments, silence. He returned to the other room, his friend waiting for him. He was starting to get restless. Onyx sat again and let out a long sigh. The light shining through the window had shifted across the room. Outside was starting to get dim.
