Late at night in the dark of my room I awaken to hear a slow, tap, tap, tap. As I fully wake the noise continues only this time its tap, tap, thud, tap, tap, thud. I quietly scramble around with my hands in search of my cellphone to be able to turn on the light. Only my cellphone is missing. Whatever it is the noise is close, I can feel the presence, it's definitely under my...bed.
Semi frozen in fear I9 dare not move or yell out to mom or dad. The noise continues. Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud. My instinct is to pull the coverers over my head and hide, but I can't do that my phones missing the noise is scaring me and I literally just want to cry. I summon my courage and leap off my bed and flip on the light switch once the lights on my room back to normal.
There're no noise nothings out of place and my phones sat on my side table right next to my bed. What on earth I wonder, maybe I was just dreaming? YES, that's it I was just dreaming. I peak under my bed, nothing's there, see it was just a dream.
I turn out my light, get back into bed and put my cell phone in my hand and tried to go back to sleep. Just as I'm drifting off, I hear, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. I roll my eyes You have got to be kidding me. This time armed with my cellphone. Under the covers I turn on my flashlight, The tapping turns into thudding. The thudding turned into banging, bang, bang, bang. As it goes louder yelled out "JACK" (That's my brother by the way) "STOP YOU'RE NOT FUNNY." Only jack yells back from his bedroom next-door "SOPHIE BE QUIET AND GO TO SLEEP".
I think to myself... Okay, this is bad, really bad. There's something or somebody under my bed and if I yell out again it might... No do it suck it up kid. My flashlights already on I quickly throwback my covers and look under the bed. As I thrust my flashlight underneath the bed all I see are two... glowing eyes... Ohhhh no this is not going to be good. My bed starts to shake, I am absolutely horrified. I begin to scream, jack begins to yell, and the dogs began to bark. I don't know what to do I just hold on for dear life.
As I grab my phone and begin to call 911 because there is obviously someone or something in the house trying to scare me. My flashlight catches a glimpse. In the corner of my room there is a tall figure with a top hat just standing there with sharp jagged teeth poking out of his blood red lips, with a long lizard like tounge tasting the air..."Okay" I began to stutter "who are you."
The figure hissed "I am you." He's dressed in all black he has no nose that I can see. That mouth... ew that mouth. Then all of a sudden jack comes barging in and flips the lights on. When I point to corner where the figure was he's no there no more. The dog comes charging into the room barking at the corner where the figure was, His hair was all standing up. "I don't like this" I'm crying out. Jack yelling and the dog is howling.
I'm so so tired. We don't know how long it will be till mom and dad get home from their date. So, jack says I can sleep in his room. Which I do gladly, as I cuddle up in the corner of his bed, Jack says he's into my room to see what was going on. The next thing jack comes out screaming out of my room. He said as he laid there on my bed to see what was happening all he could hear was a tap..., tap..., tap.
the End, or is it?
