I opened my eyes and stared out of the window. The streets were lit by a small light that had long ago needed changing. Shadows filled the streets but I didn't know what the shadows belonged to,then out of the corner of my eye I saw two figures standing near a house. They were holding something silver. I expected it was a knife but I didn't know. Suddenly one figure made a run. He had seen me. All I could hear were the birds tweeting but a second later they stopped. There was a scream and then the other figure darted off into the shadows. Quickly, I slipped on my slippers and put on my dressing gown. Within seconds I was out of the door and onto the pavement. I chased after the figures and finally caught up with them. One of them was wearing a black balaclava and the other was wearing a T-shirt and some jeans. Without thinking I grabbed them both and hauled them over the fence. The other side of the fence was a park and the only people who were in it were us! I couldn't hold the people down for much longer. My hands grew tired and without me knowing I fell asleep. When I woke up no one was around and the robbers had vanished. I got to my feet and started running. In what felt like days ,I caught up with them and they didn't look happy to see me at all. They dropped something in the nearby bushes and I went over to investigate.
