"Momma!" a young, innocent child called out to her mom.
"Yes, Claire?" her mother responded with her usual warm smile on her face. "where's sissy?" Claire asked curiously.
Claire's mother paused before responding."she's.. eating honey." she said while patting claire's head. "but momma..you always say that.. and you never told me why I always have to keep the lights on at night.." claire said with a hint of worry in her voice.
"I'll tell you when your older, sweetheart."
Those were the same words Claire heard for most of her life. "Your too young to know Claire". "Just wait until your older". "I can't tell you right now". "Just wait a bit longer". All excuses. Claire knew something was wrong, as a kid, she didn't think anything of it since she was young and ignorant, but now that she's older, she knows something is very wrong.
a few years later on a Saturday night, claire decided to spy on her mother and sister while they were in the kitchen.*
"Mom we have to tell her! She's sixteen! She's old enough to know now! Please mom!" claires sister, Annabel, pleaded. "you know I want to tell her Anna! But we can't! What will she think? And if she sees, it will not only ruin her life, but it will ruin the whole world!" Claires mother shouted.
There was a moment of silence before Annabel started to speak. "it's almost eleven. They're coming out soon. We can't stay here." "Annabel. We can't leave now, we have to talk about this!" Claires mother exclaimed "We can't mom! We don't have time!" right after annabel said that, Claire saw the most horrifying thing in her life, she saw claws digging through her mothers bedroom door, and then a long, inhuman looking creature emerged. The creature seemed to have its eyes carved out, the eye sockets were pitch black. It had a wide black mouth, long arms with sharp claws, and it was tall. The creature turned its head towards Claire's mother and ripped her head off.
Claire was looking at the creature in horror as it chomped on the mothers head, and annabel noticed Claire standing there, watching*
"Claire! Run!" annabel screamed.
that was the last time she saw her sister, she ran and ran until she was far away, she ran to the only place she knew, her best friends house. Claire's trembling hand was about to knock on the door, but she noticed that the door was already unlocked, so she opened the door, and once she did, it was like all her blood ran from her body.
There, she saw her best friend, on the ground, getting her guts eaten by another one of those horrible monsters. Claire was too afraid and heartbroken to move. She couldn't move. She told her brain to run far far away, but she just couldn't. The monster stopped eating and looked at Claire, then it smiled. It's teeth were a bloody mess, but instead of attacking Claire, it walked up to her and stuck its finger into her forehead.
Claire felt something being injected into her head, and the monster removed it's finger from her forehead. Once it was removed, a wave of dizziness washed over her. She felt lightheaded and weak, then she passed out and fell on the ground.
