The first time I ever saw them was when I was 7 years old. My grandmother had just told me a story about a princess that found a prince and they lived in his castle happily ever after. Then she kissed me goodnight and turned my light off.
I couldn't sleep I felt like something was watching me. I was so cold. Then something opened my door I called out to my grandmother but no one answered. It was dark and I was scared. In the dark, I heard footsteps running across my room. I quickly went under my blankets and hid. After a while I peaked out of my covers and I saw 3 pairs of red eyes looking at me. I screamed for my grandmother. She came rushing in and turned my light on. All of the red eyes were gone.
