It was a cold winter night in the village with the smell of burning wood in the air. Most of the village people were asleep. I was coming back from the cinema to tell my parents about a movie I just saw. Halfway to my house I heard someone's footsteps behind me, I turned around and no one was there. I could only see mine and someone else's big footprints on the freshly fallen snow. I kept walking and then I heard it again, but this time it was faster. I started running and I realized something was chasing me. I started running towards my house. Our old big house was just a few steps away. It stood there looking safe and welcoming with its huge, old wooden gate. When I reached it I felt safe. I entered, locked every door and I hid under the sheets of my bed inside of my room.
My parents were asleep. I heard something knocking several times and then it broke into the big back yard. Not much time past before it started hitting the front door and then it broke into the house as well. My parents woke up, and from their bedroom they asked me: "Why are you home so late and why did you slam the door?", but I was too afraid to say anything.
As it came into my room, it slammed my bedroom door so my parents decided to see for themselves what was happening. I felt the weather changing, I sensed evil, and something was already on my bed. I felt two cold hands around my neck, then my parents turned the lights on and it disappeared.
I told my parents what happened but they didn't believe me, they thought I was insane. When my parents left, everything happened again, and it came close to me and said: "REMEMBER!!!". In that moment everything flashed back into my head.
