The Girl

Alone with the monster

I wake up to the feeling of loneliness and abandonment. I get up and realize Alex has left me. I start to cry but I pull myself together. I walk to my closet and put on a black T-shirt and white shorts then head downstairs. When I walk into the kitchen I remember mom left us. I start to cry and it gradually gets louder. I soon stop and realize no one is here. That I'm all alone. I grab my phone and call my dad, but he doesn't answer. I call Alex, but she doesn't answer either. I can't be alone I say to myself they couldn't have done this to me. I run outside and go to the Jennings house. I don't see a car but I knock on their door anyway. No one answers, I turn around and sit down on the porch. I start having bad thoughts, that maybe they left me because I was a stupid, no good, worthless daughter and friend.

A loud Creek! pulls me from my depressing thoughts. I turn around to see the door open but no one is there, not Alex or even her parents. As a matter of fact no one is. I get up and walk to the door.

"Hello?" I say with a loud voice crack.

"Please, come in" a dark and deep voice says to me. I know Mr. Jennings voice and this isn't him.

I know I shouldn't but I walk inside and with my first step an invisible force sends me flying back. I tumble down their porch steps and I lay there in great pain and pass out a second later.

I wake up to see a strange and unusual place. I sit up only to feel like I've been pushed back down by another invisible force. I start panicking and crying. I don't want to die, not this way. I hear footsteps coming. I go quiet but I'm shaking violently. As the footsteps grow closer and closer I close my eyes.

"I know you're awake Maddy" says a voice that I can remember by heart, Alex.

I open my eyes expecting to see Alex, but instead I see the monster that started this all. The one that I saw through my window. The one who crawled it's way into my life. Destroying my family and everything around me. The one that made my mom leave me and my dad. I feel anger growing inside me but my fear grows stronger. I start to tear up, what if Alex is this monster, is the creature that haunts my sleep and invades my mind.

"Don't be afraid I only want to help" Alex says but in a deep and satanic voice. I tremble with fear and tears grow in my eyes.

I can no longer tell if this is my dreams or reality. I grow less and less afraid and more prepared for death. I accept it, if I die this way, I'm ready for it.

"What are you and why do you want anything to do with me?" I say in an upset manner that seems to surprise the creature, I smile and begin to laugh at it. I fight the force pushing me back and stand up right. I look the creature right in the eyes. "Go ahead answer my question you savage beast"

The creature stumbles back and it's eyes turn red. It cracks the bones in it's body. It turns it's head backwards and gets down into a crawling position. The face, or what is left of it, had turned blurry and twisted. And before I knew it, it pounced on me and I stumbled backwards landing hard into the table then I fall to the ground unconscious...
