(n.) The extreme fear of the night or darkness.
My eyes opened to see nothing, just an empty void of darkness, but knowing my house like the back of my hand I didn't really see a problem.
I got out of bed careful not to wake Jordan due to him having a bad migraine prior to him laying his head to rest, I walked over to the chair in the farthest corner of my room and sat down thinking about the things I've been meaning to do.
"Wow ki, you gotta do better with your procrastination skills..." I thought to myself letting my head fall in my hands.
After a few minutes of silent thoughts to myself I realized I couldn't go back to sleep... so the best next thing is just to make tea and watch a bit of tv in hopes to get sleepy again.
Getting up from the chair I threw on my robe that hung at the bottom of the bed and quietly opened the door.
"I walked down the stairs and locked the door that seemed to be unlocked for some reason. Red flags continuously went off in my head but I ignored them acknowledging that I lived in a pretty safe neighborhood.
"Hey ki." Jordan? said from the kitchen stopping me in my tracks. He appeared awake ultimately surprised me, "Hey babe.." I muttered uneasily feeling my senses heighten once more. "I thought I'd get up and make some tea." the newly unspecified figure replied smugly turning around towards me.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up fast as I heard the sound of someone getting up from bed and head into the restroom, "Jordan I thought you were alseep.." The figures eyes cut clean through the darkness standing completely still.
My heart sank as I rushed back to the bedroom and slammed the door behind me locking it, "baby, there is someone in the house." I whispered opening the bathroom door clearly concerned, he observed me judging on how disturbed I seemed, cleaned himself up, kissed me on the cheek, and grabbed the handgun out of the drawer. "I'll be right back.
Rocky rose from his kennel that sat in our room growling and whining as the sound of gunfires filled the house, "Kierra stay inside hide-" He yelled being abruptly stopped after what sounded as something was being ripped apart.. decapitated, for some reason I had a feeling I wouldn't be seeing him again.
The sounds of his agony rang in my ears until it went completely silent... the flick of the lock became undone, I covered my mouth trying to keep down the sound of my breathing.
I laid up against the farther side of the bed that faced the wall knowing I had nowhere else to hide at the moment that wouldn't catch that vessels attention.
The growls and whimpers came to an end with the snap of bones and the sound of a small mass being dropped to the floor, hot tears ran down my face as the cold feel of bony hands wrapped around my waist, I looked to the direction of where I felt the touch come from only to be met with nothing.
I exhaled a little in relief until I saw him staring me dead in the face,
"Go away your not welcome here." I nearly whispered feeling my throat grow sore. "I am welcome anywhere I please." The dark raspy voice spoke.
Not even able to add another word the vessel said "Don't worry the midnight man will be back... then the real fun begins."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up startled instantly cutting on the light and breathing hard not even being able to fathom how real that dream seemed to be, brushing it off I took a sip of water and looked at the clock
"Its time, Kierra." the voice said beside me.
