The Weeping Angels

John didn't usually worry about the weather when he was out walking, but this time was different...

John Mullins seems to have a perfect life; he is a handsome man and has a happy family. He was married with the love of his life, and had a small baby named Jane.

One day he received a strange letter. He opened it and read it: "Beware the Weeping Angel", he didn't understand the letter, so he just kept it.

The next morning, he receives a letter, pretty similar to the previous one. But with different message, "do not go near the fog", he thought it was a joke, so he did the same as the previous and he kept it. But that was only the beginning, every day he began to receive letters with meaningless warnings, or at least meaningless for him.

John, desperate, for the strange letters, decides to show them to his wife. "John it is only an empty sheet of paper" was the only thing she said, but john insisted that there were strange messages written. She thought her husband was losing his head. He could not understand what was going on, she couldn't see the messages.

For two years, the letters ruined his life. No one could read the letters. His wife left him and he was fired from his job, everyone treated him like crazy. Everything good in his life had been taken away because of these letters, except for Jane.

Every morning he received new letters on his desk, but suddenly everything different. Weeks passed, months passed, he didn't receive any letter. His life was getting back to normal, everything returned except his wife.

Fourteen years later, Jane had grown p and become a pretty smart girl. One day, looking for a picture of his mother; John did not like to talk about Jane's mother; she found a box next to his father's bed, it was filled with letters. They had different messages like, " Beware the weeping angel " " do not blink, blink and you're dead" " "do not take away the look " "THE ANGELS ARE COMING ".

She could not find any sense, he asked his father about the letters. John was very surprised, she was the first person who could read the messages. He explained everything to her.

John went to his study, he was a graphic designer. He sat at the computer to work. Few hours he went to his daughter's room and made ​​sure that she was in bed. Returning to his studio, he found a letter, with no remittent; a letter he hadn't seen for a long time. He opened the letter and read it, " where you least expect it you'll find it, you'll see in the corner of your eye. Stay away from the fog ". For John this had been the strangest letter. For some reason he looked at the window, which was in front of his desk, and there found it, something that he had never noticed. Right on the corner of the street, there was a house in ruins, old and full of plants, at first sight it looked abandoned.

He looked to his watch, it was late, he took a lamp, his jacket and boots. He went to his daughter's room and left a note, " I'm going out, take care".

When he left home, the sky was dark; the darkness had wrapped the moon, leaving a dark sky and lonely streets. John didn't usually worry about the weather when he was out walking, but this time was different. The more he walked toward it, the street filled with fog, he could hardly see. The sound of the front door opened, not sure John passed through the door, but it slammed closing it.

Jane was very worried, her father had left the day before and he hadn't returned, so she decided to go to his study. On the desk there was a note, she read it and then she ran to the nearest window, there she found the old house. She left the house and went straight to it.

The house inside looked very old; she was wondering how the house hadn't been noticed. She walked around, and in the middle of the room there was the statue of an angel covering its face with its hands. She went up the stairs that seemed to fall anytime.

On the second floor, she something written on the walls "run, run, but do not take your eyes off the weeping angels."

Then she turned around, 3 meters of her, was the Angel, the same angel from first floor. " Do not blink, blink and you're dead " were the words of the letter that came to her mind, but after several minutes, staring at it, she couldn't help, but she blink, it was only for a second. But now, the angel was only a meter away from her. The angel was no covering its face any longer; it seemed a like demon about to kill her. Its hands were a few cm to touch her, it had very large teeth, and his eyes staring at her, it was awful. They were really fast.

She slowly, while watching it, walked away. When the angel was no longer close to her, she ran and hit someone. Someone was hugging her, her father. " Jane, listen carefully. Look at the angels, as you see them, will be of stone. You cannot kill a stone, and a stone can't kill you, but when you stop seeing just for a second, it could. They are very fast; we have to be even more " John was talking so fast, he was very nervous, he was afraid.

Together they ran, until they met with another angel, they were surrounded. John whispered something to her daughter; she just nodded with tears in her eyes, and ran. She heard something breaking like a stone, and then a scream, her father.

She tried to run, but came to a dead end, the light flickered. The Angel was approaching very fast. Jane was very frightened; she covered herself with her arms.

She just waited for her death.

Silence, nothing happened, she took off her arms and she saw that the angel was paralyzed, she looked at her jacket, it has a small button that was like a little mirror. "They cover their eyes because they can not risk to see each other or they'll die ", each letter was a warning, a salvation. Jane ran and found her father, he was dying, it was too late. She hugged him until his last breath. When he died, he disappeared leaving Jane alone.

My name is Jane Mullins; this is the story of how my father died saving me. Be careful, they are everywhere, do not turn your back, do not take your eyes off them, and do not even blink. They are very fast. The Weeping Angel is coming.
