Short Horror Thrillers!

Tremors

Your eyes snap open as you stare at the dark ceiling above you, pure fear running down your spine and shaking you viciously.

The dream you had just escaped.. It felt.. so.. real.. Those red eyes.. eyes that had seemed to swollow you whole.. have no pupils.. no emotion whatsoever.. twisted horns.. Horns that where dyed with blood as they twisted upwards to the sky..  The sound of claws dragging across a chalkboard echoing loudly in your head, it physically hurt. Those claws.. so sharp.. so.. violent.. coming to get you.. coming to rip you to shreds..

"What am I doing..?" You mutter, "It was just a stupid dream.. Nothings actually here.. Don't be a chicken."

You huff in irritation, laying on your side.

The time was three am.

"The devils hour. Of course.." You sigh, looking up at the ceiling.
For a moment. It felt as if your bed was shaking.

"The heck?!"

You sit straight up, looking around worriedly.

Your eyes wander to the alarm clock, the numbers jumping around as the world around you shakes.

You hear glass shattering from the living room and you stumble out of bed, grabbing your phone and turning on the flashlight to investigate what broke from the tremors without a weapon.

Your first mistake..

Your heart starts racing as you get closer to where the noise had come from.

"H.. hello?" You ask in a shakes voice, "Anyone here?"

Your second mistake.. You alerted it..

You keep walking, and eventually, you find the broken window.

Your cringe as you hear the horrible sound of the claws on a chalk board again.

The hairs on the back of your neck raise up as you feel an unwanted presence behind you. Your senses are all alerted now as your hearts pace picks up more and you slowly turn around, your eyes darting around the room.

Nothing.. But there were long claw marks on the wall.

The ground suddenly starts to shake, hard and you fall to your hands and knees.

As you stare at the floor, long, clawed feet appear in front of you and your head snaps up.

Your third, and final mistake..

You're greeted by the eyeless red sockets of the monster in your dream.
It lets out a piercing scream, it's long claws swiftly coming at you, it's twisted horns dripping blood down towards you.

You scream in pain and fright as it's claws rip straight through your chest and-

You sit straight up in bed, heart pounding.
"The freak?! Was that- No.. That.. THAT COULDNT HAVE ALL BEEN A DREAM!" You say, holding your heart as you check the clock.

Three thirty.

You roll onto your side, away from the side of the bed and staring at the floor.

You lay in silence before falling asleep again..

A pair of red eyes open at the bottom of your bed before a smile appears, gleaming with blood..

Looks like you managed another mistake.. Never.. think it was just a dream..
