In the room

You slowly walk into your new house. You are 3 years old with your (color) hair put to the side. You walk into your new room. You see something shine in the distance a small glimmer. You go over to see some scissors. You leave them be and walk over to where you want your bed. Its a nice roomy corner with an outlet next to it. Your father comes into the room "So is this a good place?" your father asks while he puts a hand on your shoulder. You giggle a little and nodd your head. "Heh," your father lets out a small chuckle "Ok then lets go get the stuff." you race outside to the moving van and start helping to unpack.
*waiting music*
You lay in your bed in your brand new room. Its cozy and when you see the lights go out you pull out your game boy. You play on it alot when you're bored and this was just the time. That's when you hear footsteps. Loud and reckless footsteps. The room behind your's is empty and you hear a small click come from your closet. You think it's your parents so you push the game boy under the blanket and act asleep. You hear the footsteps get closer and you begin to sweat. Maybe it's just dad coming to say good night. You think to yourself. But once you hear the voice say "HELLO?..." You know it's not. It was a calm raspy voice like a grandma that smoked 3 packs a day. You try to hide under the blanket but you're to big. You hear the door to the room behind you. You let out a sigh and are thankful that it's gone. But that's when you hear a scratching sound. It's loud and hard but just faint enough to not be heard by your parents. You listen for where it's coming from. And that's when you feel the vibration from the hard nails on your wall. It tickles your ear but you pull your head away quickly. Then you realize. It's in that room right next to you...trying to get to...you...

 You stand up from your bed and go to the other side of the room and begin to pace around frantically thinking about what to do. "So there's something on the other side of that wall," you think to yourself  "but I can't go to that room or I might die..." Then suddenly you hear a super loud bang on that wall. You turn to your door to see a light come on. You then sigh in relief thinking that your parents are coming to see what it was because this bang was so loud that the south side of Nevada could hear it. Instead of your parents you hear "(name)...Are you awake?" You began to sweat thinking that this thing was going to get you .Then you hear the door handle jiggle and turn. You close your eyes waiting to be torn open and eaten inside and out. Suddenly, your eyes open only to see this...thing. It's eyes are black and lifeless with pale dirty torn skin surrounding them. It's entire body is practically a skeleton besides it's head which had no nostrils just slits like Voldemort. It's fingers were long, practically the same length as it's arms, which hung down past it's knees. It's legs were thin and folded like a dog. It's mouth was large and had as many teeth as a great white shark. It looked at you...with cold dead eyes and a large toothy smile. You close your eyes and took a swing directly in front of you. Then...you hit it, your hand hit the thing. It's body cold and damp with a reeking smell of blood surrounding it. The screech it let out was unimaginable, like a banshee screaming bloody murder. Then suddenly your eyes opened to see it running away like a 2 year old that saw a large dog. Finally you were safe from...The Gallow.
