Trigger Warning! ⚠️ De@th

It was around 3:20 a.m. when Becca woke up with a start. She didn't know what caused her to wake up, so she lay there thinking things over. A few minutes passed and she heard something "rata-tap-tap rata-tap-tap." Looking around her room confused, she heard it again "rata-tap-tap rata-tap-tap." Finally noticing it came from her window, Becca got up to see what it was but when she peeked through the blinds nothing was there. Shrugging it off as her imagination she went back to sleep.

The next night however at the same time she heard it again. "Rata-tap-tap rata-tap-tap." Glancing at her window she thought about going over to see what it was but decided against it. A few minutes later she heard it again this time it was louder, "Rata-Tap-Tap Rata-Tap-Tap!" Ignoring it once again she shoved her head under her pillow and waited but she heard a loud and sharp knocking. After a while, Becca started to doze off again but was woken by a loud and sharp, "RATA-TAP-TAP RATA-TAP-TAP!!" Annoyed she swung her legs out of bed and stalked towards the window opening the blinds to see what it was, she froze in horror at what she saw.

Standing in front of her window was a shadowy figure with lanky limbs and clawed hands. Becca stood there mouth agape frozen on that spot. Suddenly the figure smashed its hand through the window and snatched her up. No one ever saw Becca again and when her parents went to her room, they saw smashed glass and an empty bed. The police never found her and declared her dead after three years of searching.
