ghost whispers

We are a normal family me and my children, well on the outside all appears fine.  I pick the kids up from school, have tea, do homework, the usual routine. I don’t mind the normal things but at night comes the routine i dread the most.  I never know what to expect.
Kids in bed i start to tidy and wind down from the day.  Just as i sit i hear a noise upstairs, its nothing i think, they are asleep.  A loud bang convinces me to go and check.  Just as i thought, nothing i tell myself as i check the rooms. Nothing has been disturbed everything is normal. I walk past another room and notice my daughter bolt upright in her bed. “Are you ok sweetie” i say. No reply so i walk closer.  Its only then i see she is asleep.  I call her name and there is no response. I can imagine someone in her ear, whispering, like the devil on her shoulder.  He is old, looking at me with his sick twisted smile. He looks so evil shouldn’t be anywhere near my sweet innocent girl. He looks back at her and whispers more. 
I call her name just hoping she will snap out of out she won’t. The doctor said its normal, she will grow out of it. This is not normal. Don’t try to wake her he said. I have to wake her. I don’t know what’s next.
“please wake” i call to my princess. She can’t hear me. His whispers in her ear louder than i could shout.
She stands and gets out of bed. This cant happen, not again.  He walks by her side with a smug look on his face. So twisted and evil. He knows there is nothing i can do.  A million questions go through my head. What will happen this time? This is my happy girl who sees no bad in the world, how can someone so evil be near her, poisoning her thoughts.
She heads towards the stairs. I need to protect her. That’s my job to protect my kids. How dare him be here in my house, whispering in my daughters ear. I need to make sure she doesn’t fall. This is the part i hate. I cant get in front of her. My heart is pounding. I know not to call her name now as he guides her downstairs. How can i put my trust in the evil whisperer? My arms are out ready to grab her and i hope that i can hold her weight and keep my balance if it comes to that.
She makes it to the bottom safe, please not the kitchen i plead. He looks back and me with his twisted smile, how long will this go on. In the kitchen she slowly walks around. So many potential dangers. I call her name, nothing. She carries on walking around over and over again before going to the living room. He is teasing me. I know he can feel my pain but he thrives off it. I sit down and try to act as though its ok while inside im screaming for him to leave. I notice the moon outside so bright. Shut the curtains and put some telly on i need a distraction. She is sat there. Just sat as if she is reading a book.
I hear a bang. It startles me. No!!!! I fell asleep. Where is she? I run around and check the doors, still locked. I run upstairs shouting her name. The panic in my voice is clear. I run into her room. Relief as i see her in bed l. She wakes with a smile. So innocent and not one memory of the night before.
