It was a sweet silver night. The moon was bathing my balcony with glittering silver light. It was almost 12:30 am. I was in my bed, depressed because my mother scolded me for no reason several hours ago. I was listening to the most craziest song in my mobile with earphones on and full volume. I was alone. As I touched the screen to change the song the light from the mobile lightened the backside of my bed and I noticed a little figure on the left side of my bed. I turned on the table lamp to have a better look, but "WOW" no one was there. I turned it off and rested my head on my soft pillow, wondering it must have been an illusion. I started singing the song, and was shocked to hear a sweet voice repeating the lyrics. I stopped singing, but the voice was still coming." Oh! MY!".I uttered as I saw a small girl sitting on my bed near my feet. I satrted shivering all over badly. My heart pounded in my chest in an unnatural manner. That girl sitting near me was wearing a black dress with a red cape on. She was wearing a black dress with red cape on his head. She had ugly bruises all over her body I noticed, because I could see her arms and legs through the cape. Her eyes were sparkling green and were red from outside. She stared at me, and lifted her disgusting hand to grab my feet, but I crossed my legs. She stood up and a scary music started playing from nowhere. It was like "twinkle twinkle little star",but in a really horrifying rythme. I ran towards my table lamp "Oh No!....light's gone....now what?". I grabbed my mobile and started searching for the 'flash light' option, and was just praying not to see 'Battery Low" on it's screen. I turned on the flash light and suddenly the mobile managed to slip from my hand somehow and turned into pieces. Warm tears rolled down my cheeks but not tears 'blood' actually. All my being was shaken badly with great pressure. I rubbed my eyes anf face several times,rushed towards the stair case but before I could reach there PITY, the door was closed. I turned and thought of hiding in the wardrobe. In a great hustle I enetered my room and the door swang shut behind me. My head starting swinging to and fro, I was just wishing that at this particular moment someone should have been with me, but now what can be done? I was myself pretty much interested in being left alone in my room. I should have used someone's company. My hair were piercing in my back like needles. My appearence was so pale and disturbing as if I am a grudge,when I took a glance of myself in the dressing table's mirror."Oh No!". The red caped girl was standing so near to me that she could get hold of me easily."Just go away, leave me alone, why are you bothering me? what do you want from me? just let go of me". I yelled at the top of my lungs. She gave me a wicked smile " I am here because of you, you are the one responsible for me being in this condition".she said,"How?" i asked her."that day you were in the woods,listening to the same music with same earphones, you didnt hear me, I was begging you to save me from that 'ghoul' but you were singing the same song"."What? OH!"...."yes". This cant be happening to me. I should...I should........do something.All i could think of was to get rid of the disgusting lil freak.I started struggling to get away from her,i was trying really hard.....Suddenly my mum came in and said"Wake up!time for school".
