Not all heroes wear capes, some of them come in the form of quick-thinking 14-year-olds.
While a teenage girl from Southern California named Savannah Jones was taking care of her 4-year-old niece Zoyee, someone started knocking on the front door. Savannah knew they weren’t expecting anyone over so she became suspicious.
But it was when the knocking became louder and louder that this girl realized she and the little one could be in trouble, and sadly, she was right.
Getting extremely worried for the safety of her niece, as well as of her own, she quickly grabbed the toddler and they both entered the bathroom and locked the door. Once in, Savannah could hear the man entering the house.
“I was very scared,” Savannah later told the reporter in the video below. “Not so much for myself, but just Zoyee.”
From the text the teen sent to her mom it could be seen that it was indeed Zoyee’s safety that was most important to Savannah during those terrifying moments of fear and uncertainty.
When she received her daughter’s text messages, Savannah’s mom, Maria Muratalla, was stuck in traffic. She described the moment as gut-wrenching and all she wanted at that moment was to be with the girls.
But Maria wasn’t completely powerless. She called a neighbor who immediately called 911.
Until police arrived, Savannah and Zoyee stayed locked inside the bathroom. They could hear the man roaming around the house, and Savannah did all in her power to calm Zoyee and make her stay quiet.
Thanks to Savannah’s quick reaction, the man left the house without ever finding them.
