When I say "teddy bears", ... What picture comes in your head? You probably think warm and cuddly but I am here to destroy that image.
It was Halloween night and I just got done trick or treating. Returning home to change out of my costume. I grab my birthday money from my secret hiding place in my room (so my sister can't steal it). We were going to Wal-Mart. My parents needed some things so I wanted to go along to shop with my money.
I saw a teddy bear with a bloody knife (It was a decoration because it was a Halloween bear). The tag said his name was "Freddy Cougar". I thought "cool" and I bought him with my birthday money.
When we got home it was around 10:00 pm. My parents Brad and Amber told me to go to bed. (I had to go to bed because it was a Sunday night and I had school in the morning). So I went to bed.
Four o'clock a.m.... I got up to use the restroom. The teddy bear I had just bought that night in Wal-Mart came to life. Freddy said "I am going to kill you in your sleep tonight!"
Freaked out I grabbed him and threw him out my door. But he stabbed me right in my outer thigh before I could chuck him away from me. I dropped to the floor and I yelled in fear and pain "MOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sobbing I cried "The teddy bear is evil! It just stabbed me in the thigh!" I screamed. But my mom was fast asleep.
Luckily I was in the hallway right by my mom's room because I just had came out of the bathroom. I crawled dragging myself into my mom and dad's room. "Wake up!", I yelled.
Startled they both woke up. My mom asked "What are you doing up Braxton?" I told her all about the evil "Freddy Cougar" story. She told me I had had too much candy and was having nightmares from all the costumes I had seen that night.
"Mom! Freddy Cougar the bear is trying to kill me!" I was hysterical with fear. I continued, "He already stabbed me in my thigh! I had to crawl in here to safety!"
My mom did not believe me. So I went to show her my thigh. As I looked down it was perfectly fine. My mom said in a stern no nonsense tone, "Go... to... bed...Braxton! It's late and you have school in the morning!"
"But..., but..., but...," I stammered.
"I don't want to hear it Braxton! Now go to bed!" she scolded.
I was returning to my room when I saw that evil teddy bear laying in the hall. I grabbed it and went as fast as I could down the stairs to the front door. I unlocked the door and threw Freddy Cougar with all my might out the door into the dark black night.
I felt much better! At least the evil teddy bear wouldn't give me any more nightmares, I took care of him.
I went back upstairs. I stopped dead in my tracks. There in front of me, I saw Freddy sitting on my bed! I yelled again, "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!"
My mom came running down the hall out of her room and into mine. Concerned and a little angry she began to ask, "what is the...?", but before she could finish her sentence she stopped. I looked at my mom she had blood dripping out of her stomach. She fell face first onto the hardwood floor.
"Mom!! Mom!!" I yelled but she did not answer she lay there dead.
That's when I looked into the hallway and saw Freddy Cougar holding a dripping bloody knife. "You killed my mom!" I yelled, "Now you are going to die".
I grabbed my desk lamp and smashed it on his head. Blood came out. I shouted, "Wooo-Hooo!!I killed him".
5:00 a.m.... – "Braxton! Braxton! Wake up! It's time to get up and get ready for school."
Was it all just a dream?
