Red Wrists: Secrets up the Trick Sleeves ( Masky x Reader book 3 )

It isn't there...

What was that?
I heard something, over there!
My flashlight.
It's afraid of the light.
There.
The light's on.
It can't get me now.
I'm safe.
Oh no.
No.
Not the bathroom!
I need to go pee!
But the monster?!?
I'll turn on the lights.
Mommy and daddy aren't home.
When will they be home?
Soon.
Dang it.
Not soon enough.
Out of bed, that's it.
No problem.
WAIT I HEARD A NOISE!
Nothing's there?
Okay, I'm safe.
The light!
Run towards the switch.
It's on.
Okay, next light.
Safe.
I hear it.
It's right behind me.
I'm in the light, it can't get me.
It isn't there.
Next light.
And next.
Last one.
Finally, I'm in the bathroom.
Hurry, hit the light!
Hit the light!
HIT THE LIGHT!!!
Yay, it's on!
Safe again!
I hear it.
I'll leave the door open.
It can't sneak up on me.
There, done.
Back to bed.
Turn the lights off.
One by one, run back to bed.
It's chasing me.
I hear it.
No.
It isn't there.
It isn't there.
It's not real.
Finally, back in my bed.
Wait.
I see it.
Right there in front of me.
Flick the light on.
Nothing there.
See?
It isn't there.
It isn't there.
It isn't there.
It isn't there.
It isn't there.
"Yes I am."
Oh god.
That was loud and clear.
Right behind me.
On my pillow.
Hurry, turn the light on it!
It hates the light!
There, it's in the light.
It will go away.
Wait, did it laugh?
It laughed.
It's in the light, why isn't it going away?
"Do you think I care?"
Wait?
What?
It isn't going away.
"The light doesn't scare me.
Everything you know about us is a lie."
A lie?
So I'm not safe.
It's laughing again.
It's lunging at me.
