Somewhere in a tiny kingdom in Norway, a little girl suddenly woke up in the middle of the night...
"Anna...?" She muttered, thinking it was her little sister sneaking into her room in the middle of the night to play again...
She had bolted upright and was wide awake now for some unknown reason, and she had a bad feeling...

She pulled the quilt her mother made for her up around her shoulders and trembled.
Then she heard a dark, creepy laugh.
"Oh, poor child... all alone because you can't be trusted around your little sister... it's sad, really..."
"Show yourself or I'll scream!!!" She said, her voice betraying her by trembling in fear, which caused the voice to laugh again as he stepped out of the shadows, and what she saw was bone chilling...
A man made entirely of shadows and darkness stood silhouetted in the light of the full moon, his yellow eyes glinting maliciously at her.
"So what...? Your parents won't see me..." he chortled, "nobody does."
"Then how can I see you...?" the little girl whispered,
"Because my dear child... I am the embodiment of children's deepest fears... even yours."
"Go away!!!" She hissed and, despite her promising herself after accidentally hurting her little sister that she'd never hurt someone with her powers ever again, she summoned a snowball and threw it towards the evil being...
Only for the figure to dissipate before she could hit him.

She blinked and looked around. She could hear his laugh echoing through her room after he disappeared, the laughter slowly fading away...
"MAMA PAPA!!!!!" She screamed.

And that was the first night she met the boogeyman...
