The Panic of Fear (Book One of The Fearful Trilogy)

Chapter Six

  I'm sure the mannequins were all looking in different directions when I was walking through them. They are all scary just looking at me with no faces. Of course faces might be creepier.
  "Weren't you all looking somewhere else?" I ask the mannequins. "Okay Alex just stay calm your fine." That didn't help it kinda made it worse. I look at the paper so I don't have a panic attack and see some small print at the bottom of the page.

If you see him turn off the light and stay completely still. Don't make any noise either or you'll wake him.
NEVER WAKE HIM UP!

  "Great. Who do I not want to wake? The owner?" I ask myself. I look up again and the mannequins are still staring at me. "Creepy." I hear some low growling. "Oh god. What now?" I turn around but see nothing.
  When I turn back around the mannequins have a slit where their mouths would be. The slit starts widening and soon every single mannequins has a creepy smile.
  "Why a creepy smile just why?" I ask myself. "Hey Alex you never came home what are you doing here?" Zodiac starts walking through the mannequins towards me. "Zodiac what are you doing here?"
  I ask him. "Well I ran out of food." "Oh of course you ran out of food." Zodiac just gives me a look. "Well come here." Zodiac walks over and I pick him up. He hops onto my shoulder. All of a sudden I hear a bunch of banging and dust rains from the roof.
  "What's that?" Zodiac asks me. "I don't know but whatever that is I don't think it's good." I flick off the flashlight and stand completely still. I hear banging on the floor above us and the banging moves downwards and with a crash something lands on the floor I'm on.
  The thing looks around starting to make stomping noises and walks towards me. I suddenly realize that all the mannequins are still staring at me. I can't hide like this the thing will know where I am. But I don't have a chance to move cause the thing is right in front of me.
  The thing has needles all over it's hunched back, it's head is twitching. And I see what looks like stiches holding parts of it's body on. All of a sudden the thing raises it's hand and hits me in the side. I fly across the room and hit a wall.
  I'm dazed and Zodiac must of got knocked off of my shoulder cause he's not there. My flashlight is gone and I'm faced with a seven foot tall monster hunched in front of me.
