Mysterious Offer

I'm wide awake in my bed, scared of what's coming. It was 10:59 in the evening, soon he was going to come and he will ask me again tonight as he's done before the past few weeks. Why me? Why does it have to be me? I've should have never found that strange jar that day.

* Flashback 3 weeks ago *

I was out exploring the forest nearby one of the local parks late at night. My parents weren't home for a few days, so I thought it would be fun to explore the area while they were gone. As I was walking around, I suddenly tripped on something round and smooth.

"Ow!" I said out loud after falling on my face.

I slowly got up and wondered what I tripped on. I looked around and spotted something dark poking up from the ground.

'What is this?' I thought to myself.

I began to dig whatever it was out of the ground and after digging for a bit, I was surprised to see what was in the ground. It was a medium sized jar with lots of strange markings all around it. I picked it up and looked all over it.

"What a weird jar. I wonder if there's anything inside," I said to myself.

I carefully opened the jar's lid and peeked inside, but I only found some weird black and orange powder. Not the funnest thing to discover, so I was bit disappointed. Suddenly, I heard a strange noise which caused me to flinch and drop the jar which broke into several pieces and spilled the black and orange powder everywhere.

"Jeez wiz! I need to be more careful with stuff like this," I said quietly to myself.

I was about to pick up the broken pieces of the jar when the black and orange powder began to glow and began swirling around. This caused me to jump back in fear and the powder began to form a tall human figure with glowing orange eyes. The figure began to laugh which sounded evilish and it freaked me out so much that I fainted. I woke up some time later and the strange figure was gone. I quickly got up but I spotted a message in the ground next to me which read, 'Thank you. See you soon'. As soon as I saw that message I immediately ran home, and never explored that forest again.

* End of Flashback *

I kept glancing at my clock nervously wondering when it will change. Then it turned to 11:00, and a few seconds later I felt the atmosphere in my room became cold and dark.

'He's coming....' I thought to myself.

I clutched my blanket closer to me and shut my eyes tight. Then I heard a small chuckle, followed by the sound of footsteps, then someone climbing onto my bed.

"Hello again..." he said to me.

I didn't say a word back to him.

"Why are you still scared of me hmm? I would never harm you. You freed me from that jar weeks ago. And all I want to do is repay you for freeing me," he said again.

"I-i d-don't w-want a-anyt-thing," I nervously said to him.

I felt him move closer and wrap his muscular arm around me.

"But I want to give you something though," he said in a kind voice.

I knew what he was going to say next.

"I still have my offer. Come with me and you'll never have to worry about anything ever again. Your parents will have no worries, and you will have lots of things that many would dream of having. All you have to do is accept the offer and everything will be alright," he said to me in a soothing voice.
