She helps edit. :P You should go follow her. It would be great.

I try to crawl away but the clawed hand grabs my ankle and drags me. I cry to kick it off but I don't seem to kick anything. I am being dragged through the dark. I hear a scream but it's not my scream, it's my mom's. I look around but wasn't able to. I was paralyzed. I couldn't move. The scream echoes in my ears. I drop into a hole with the screams still in my ears.

I shoot up in bed with sweat on my brow and my heart racing. I struggle to catch my breathe. I still hear my mom'm scream in my ears. I lay back down and cover my ears with my pillow. The screams are muffled. Wait, why is it muffled when it's in myhead. I freeze. The screams aren't in my head. I get out of bed when I hear the scream cut short. I put my ear to the floor and listen.

I hear a muffled voice. I go to my phone and unlock it. No signal. What? I try the house phone. No sound. It's disconnected. I felt dizzy. Is he going to find me? Am I going to die? I look at the clock, 5:30 am.

My room is the attic and the only way you can get in is through a door that looks like a closet and you go up the stairs. So to keep some privacy, I put coats and hats in front of my door so when the door is opened, it looks like a normal closet. But, in reality, there is a plain door to my room.

*creak*

I spin around. It came from my door. Someone opened it. I tip toe quickly to my bed. I pushed my bed skirt away and scramble in. I place the bed skirt back in place and muffled my breathing with my hand. It's quiet. My closet trick worked! They must have thought it was just a closet.

I put my ear against the floor once again. I hear nothing. I brought my head up and peeked under my bed skirt. I see that the coast is clear so I slowly crawl out from under my bed.

But as soon as I did, I fell to the floor from a blow to the head. I see black dots forming in my vision. I reach to the back of my head with hand and pull away with blood. I roll around and she a black figure that tower's over me. I can't see his face. Of course, he's dressed in all black. It feels like I just walked into an episode of Criminal Minds. He hits me again with what looks like my baseball bat.

Everything goes black.

I felt the cool surface of the floor rub on my arms. He's dragging me out of my house. My head is throbbing. I feel like my skull is splitting.

I look around and see my mom laying on the floor of her bedroom with her green eyes wide open and a pool of blood around her head. My dad looks as if he's sleeping until you see a slash on his neck.

My parents are dead. So much blood. Where's my brother?!

He's upstairs. His room was just down the hall from my room.

Oh no. Not him too. Please don't be him too.

I feel a lump forming in my throat as I try to contain my sobs. The man stops dragging me. I freeze. He then continues dragging me out the door.

Wait. It's almost 6 isn't it? Mrs. Cody! She does her morning run at 6 every morning since last week. Please don't be late. Please don't be late. Please don't be late.

He drags me to my front door. He then picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. When he walks, I see the back of his shoes. I see what looks like a bright green lightning bolt.

He turns and I see my street. I see Mrs. Cody walking out of her house. I use my only change of getting saved. I scream a blood curling scream. Her head snaps in my direction. She pulls a gun from her ankle. I didn't know she had a gun!

"Let her go!" Mrs. Cody said.

My kidnapper shoots around and drops me in the middle of my driveway. I hit my head on the concrete. Even harder then the baseball bat. I hear his car speed away as I hear gun shots firing. I hear someone running toward me. My vision is blurry and black dots are everywhere.

"You're safe Annabelle. Help is coming." Mrs. Cody said as she rubbed my hair.

That's the last thing I hear as I black out.

So how was this? Better then before I hope! I tried my best to fill in pot holes and make it more clear! Thanks for reading!
