Title: Grandma.

"Okay Girls, your mom and I are headed out for our dinner reservations tonight!
Remember, your grandma is coming over. I know you girls love to be on your phones but hangout with your grandma for a bit and make her feel at home." Said Dad.
"Do we have to hangout with her? I mean, she doesn't talk about boys and–" Cathy was saying before we heard knocking on the door.
*Knock knock*
"She's here. Cathy I know you are into your own world, but her husband passed away a week ago. She's upset since the body hasn't been found. They think someone murderered him and took  the body. You just have to deal with her tonight and she'll leave tomorrow afternoon."
"Fineeee, I guess it can be fun."
"Thanks girls. We appreciate it."
*Knock knock*
My father opened the door. My grandma walked in with a smile. Her hair is gray and healthy for someone her age I thought to myself. Her pink dress matched her pink high heels. Her purse was big and brown like her glasses.
"Hey Mom!" Said Dad.
"So Karen and I are headed to dinner, and the girls are going to be here with you. I hope they don't cause you trouble. They can be brats." My Dad said Jokingly.
"Oh no, they're fine. I'll be in the living room watching T.V. if you girls don't mind."
"Oh, we don't mind." Said Cathy.
"Well we better get going before it's too late! See you later girls! Bye Mrs.Stephens!" Said Mom.
"Bye Mom! Bye dad!" I said as I closed and locked the door.
I saw Cathy trying to sneakingly walk up the stairs to her room, so I asked "Grandma, do you want to watch a movie with Cathy and I?"
Grandma replied"Oh that'd be wonderful!"
Cathy gave me an angry stare before she walked to the couch and sat with me.
"Any preference?" Grandma asked.
"Whatever you want to watch." Cathy replied with attitude.
"Hmm, are you girls fans of zombie movies?"
"Well, I can't say 'no' that. This i can watch. " Cathy replied.
After the movie was over, Grandma said she was sleepy so we said 'Goodnight' And walked to our rooms."
I was lying in bed, looking at the stars outside with my window open when I heard a laugh coming from downstairs.
I thought "Hm, Cathy decided to hangout with Grandma afterall, huh?"
So I walked downstairs but everything was dark. Grandma was sitting in the rocking chair asleep. I whispered to myself "Huh? Maybe that was Cathy." I walked to Cathy's room and asked her if it was her but she said it wasn't and maybe I'm hearing noises.
So I said "Maybe I am just hearing things."
So I walked back to my room and got back into bed.
A few minutes later after everything was quiet, I heard laughter, again.
I walked downstairs to see if Grandma was awake, but everything was still dark and silent.
But... Grandma was still sitting in the chair but this time her back was facing me.
I started to creep up slowly asking "Grandma?" "Was that you?" 
I accidentally knocked over the tv remote off the table and picked it up.
When I reached to grab it, I felt like someone, or something was watching me.
I got back up and when I looked at my Grandma, her head was twisted °360 degrees. 
"What's the matter, dear?" She asked.
"HOLY SHIT!" I yelled as I fell over. 
I darted up the stairs as fast I could and went into Cathy's room. 
"Are you okay? What's wrong? Why are you acting like you seen a ghost?"
I felt my heart pounding.
"Cathy. Lock the door!" I yelled while trying to catch my breath.
"Alright. But what Happened?" Asked Cathy while Locking her door.
After I explained to Cathy, Cathy laughed and said "Oh come'on! At her old age she'd snap trying to turn her neck!" Cathy said jokingly.
*Power shuts off*
I can tell Cathy looked a little frightened after the power cut off.
"Ugh. Luckily I have a torch lighter In my drawer for my candles. We're gonna go head down to the power panel and get this light back on. And check if grandma is awake." Cathy said as she grabbed out two lighters.
I opened the door, and straight down the hallway we saw a black silhouette just standing between the stairs and hallway.
It looked like someone was standing on all fours.
"G-Grandma? Is that you?" Cathy asked with a shaky voice.
I felt my heart beating loud. We don't own a dog, or any type of Animal for that matter.
"Let's close the door." I said. 
Cathy was frozen, pale, and looked frightened.
I slammed the door and asked Cathy if she was okay.
"Yeah, I'm okay. But what the fuck was that?" Asked Cathy.
Cathy grabbed her bottle of hair spray off her make up desk and said "Let's go. I'll spray the lighter and try to get a view of whatever that was."
I nodded my head.
We opened the door but the silhouette was gone. 
We started walking down the hallway really slow using our lighters as lights. 
Cathy sprayed her lighter every few seconds to try and get a better look around.
We made it to the chair Grandma was sitting on but she was gone. 
We heard noise coming from the kitchen. It sounded like someone was walking. 
"Grandma?!" I yelled. 
But no answer, and everything went quiet.
"LET GO OF ME!" Cathy yelled before she fell.
"GET OFF OF ME! SALLY! HELP ME!" 
"CATHY!" I yelled as I tried to reach for her hand but she was being dragged faster than I can chase her.
It was too dark to see but I heard Cathy screaming before she was dragged down the basement. The basement door slammed shut.
I grabbed the lighter and headed to the basement door. I tried to unlock it but it was locked from the inside.
"CATHY! CATHY! OPEN THE DOOR!" I yelled as i was pounding the door with all my might.
"SALLY! HELP M–" Cathy said before it went quiet.
I darted up the stairs to my room and hid under my bed.
"Maybe this is a bad dream! I need to wake up!" I thought to myself.
I heard something crawling fast up the stairs and then it stopped. 
My door creeked open, and I could see my grandma crawling slowly into my room. I could hear my heart pounding. She had Kathy's ear in her mouth. Her mouth was covered in blood and her eyes looked white. She was crawling around my room until i couldn't see her. I didn't wanna turn in fear that I'd make noise and she'd hear me. 
I was staring straight at the darkness from my opened door, my hands around my mouth, tears running down my face, and all I can hear is my grandma crawling.
"AHHH! NO! LET GO OF ME!" I screamed as she grabbed my leg.
I felt her nails dig into my leg.
I was Screaming for my life as she dragged me across the hallway into the basement.
"MOMMY! DADDY! HELP ME!"
*splat* *slurp* 
"sleep tight" said Gandma.
