I dreaded for night to come. I'd lay awake each night...waiting for it to happen. Exactly every night at 10:00pm it starts. First you hear the scratching under the bed. It's faint at first but then it gets louder and louder. All I can do is just lay there. I get to scared to do anything. After a few minutes the scratching stops. You feel a sense of fear start to creep up in you're subconscious. You wonder frantically while you lay there. What is it going to do next? You 're heart starts to to beat fast. Close to you're leg, you feel a tug at you're bed sheet. To afraid to lift you're head you close you're eyes and squeeze them shut. Coldness...you feel cold seep up to you're right leg. You bite you're lip to hold in a scream. All of a sudden the coldness fades. Quiet...its too quiet you think. All you can hear is you're frantic heart beating. Thump! Something pushes you're mattress from under you. Ahh! Finally you scream and scramble and get up. You run to you're door. Quickly opening it you run down you're hallway and turn on you're kitchen lights. After catching you're breath you try to calm yourself. You look at the clock. It says 11:43pm. It's almost midnight you thought. If I hold out until midnight it will go away...it always does. So i sat until the clock hit midnight. Sighing with relief I gather my courage and walk back to my room. I slowly walk in and take in my surroundings. Flipping the switch I walk over to my bed. I slowly bend down and look under my bed. Nothing...i take a deep breath and sigh. Reassured that nothing was under there I walk over to the switch and turn it off. Walking back to my bed i lay back down and close my eyes. Drip...drip...i feel something wet fall onto my face. To scared to open my eyes i lay there and whimper. A hissing sound comes from on top of me. Gathering my courage I open my eyes. There on the ceiling was that thing!! It's black eyes looking into mine. It turns it's head sideways. It then stops and tries to smile. But it couldn't. The things mouth was sowed together. Black gew seeps from small openings from tears of the mouth. Dripping on me, I gag and hold in my scream. To scared to move, i start to cry. Enjoying my fear it drops on the bed on top of me. I scream and try to get away. The thing grabs onto my arms and hisses in my face. I stop what u was doing. To scared to move I wait for the inventable to happen. The thing releases my left arm. Reaching to touch my face. I glance at it's sickly looking skin and long brown chipped nails. I shake my head. No please! Leave me alone! Ignoring my plea's it carcasses my face. I gag again. The smell of it is unbearable! Death...i smell death. The thing stops caressing me and just stares at me. Reaching it's hands to it's face it uses it's long nail to cut it's stiches from its mouth. I cringe and try to push myself deeper into my bed. Aliz..abeth...i stop my movement. It said my name! Alizabeth...i stare at the thing in confusion. What do you want with me? i ask. It stares at me and smiles. You. Before I could have time to react it throws me onto my bedroom floor . Jumping off my bed it bends down and drags me under my bed. I scream and scream. Knowing that nobody would hear me...and even if they did, it's too late. It has me. I am now it's prisoner.
