Knock Knock By Daniel Beaty Novels & Stories

It’s the silence before the storm. And tonight, the storm found me again. It was late—close to midnight—when I heard the knock on the door. Three slow, deliberate knocks that sent a chill crawling down my spine. I wasn’t expecting anyone. Noah was asleep upstairs, curled in bed after a week of school exams. I hesitated at the threshold, hand on the lock. Part of me knew. The irrational part hoped it was just a student, a neighbor, someone who needed help. But when I opened the door and saw him—Daniel—standing there, soaked in rain, eyes burning with obsession and desperation…

Most people knock on doors with a pattern of either two short knocks and one long or two long and one short. But this person outside was different. Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock knock, knock— Knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock, knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock— Knock, knock—knock! Knock, knock—knock! The knocking rhythm even reminded me of a familiar childhood tune. But that didn't help with my morning grumpiness.

I watched the guy's every move. The way he shuffled his feet, his posture and even the way held his fists. The bell rang, and some music started blaring again. It was 'Awake by Godsmack'. He jumped for, and I ducked just in time for him to miss. I shot back up and remembered what Liam said. Kicking is my strong point. I can thank six years of soccer for that.

My head was starting to hurt from all the half-formed plans. Kael kicked at my ankle. “You overthink too much, man. We need a plan, not ten.” I was about to shoot back something sarcastic when a knock sounded on my door. We froze. I glanced at my watch, seeing that it was past 10pm “Who the hell is knocking by this time?” I hissed, shoving my phone under the blanket. Kael shrugged, but the knock came again — and then the door swung open. Dalton stood there, his back lit by the hall light, as he stood there with an air of authority that made me go tense.. His eyes moved from me to Kael and back.

Chapter 2 - The Reunion I could’ve lived without Nova The persistent knock on the door was what woke me up, it sounded a lot like a persistent tax collector at 7 a.m. “If you don’t stop knocking, you won’t know peace in this life and the next” Katie cried out while covering her head with her pillow, she was still sleeping and definitely hungover. “It’s Jay” Said a familiar deep voice on the other side of the door. ‘Fuck’ Katie and I groaned at the same time.

He took two deep breaths before bringing his hand to the door and knocking on it. ......... Beatrice was already in bed, about to sleep when she heard the knock on her door, making her grumble.

Maybe tell me what the hell kind of team I've signed with that does stuff like this. I knock on the door, bouncing from foot to foot, still shaking. A few minutes later, Daniel answers the door wearing athletic shorts and nothing else. "What's up, Rookie?" he asks, surprised to see me. "Everything okay?" "Do you have a minute?" The look he gives me tells me I probably need to calm down a bit more. He cocks his head to gauge if I'm here to cause trouble or not. "Come on in," he finally says. I step into the apartment and stride over to the window to look out. "Give me a minute," he says behind me. "I've got company."
