Unattainable (one shots)

Shadow man

I never really believed in things like 'evil spirits' until the day HE visited me.. I was staying over at my aunts house which I've never liked staying at her house since something always felt off, but regardless I wanted to hang out with my cousins. That night my cousin rudely invited over a friend so I had to sleep in the game room down the hall, I settled down on the couch and made a nest of blankets and pillows. I put in my earbuds and played some music off my phone so I wouldn't feel uneasy in the still darkness, I was drifting off to sleep when I felt a cold hand stroke my cheek. I had my eyes closed so I assumed it was my aunt or uncle who came to check on me, the hand disappeared so I assumed they had gone back to bed. Later that night I was awoken by the cold sending shivers all over me, I knew something was off since I had been curled up under a heavy quilt when I fell asleep.

Now in 16 years of life I have never kicked all the blankets off when I sleep, I tend to go into sleep paralysis so I don't move much at all. As I laid there with my eyes still closed I noticed something else was wrong, I couldn't hear my music. Sure my battery could have died but my earbuds weren't in my ears anymore. Before I could open my eyes to search for the missing blanket and phone I hear a deep raspy voice talk to me, it was obviously a male voice but it didn't belong to anyone I knew. "I'm going to take away your safety" was all it said to me, but in the terror of the moment I thought it best to pretend I was asleep in case it was an intruder. But then I remembered that I was on the second floor, and there's a motion detector alarm in front of each of the entry doors to the house so no one could break in without setting one off. Terrified I opened my eyes and there in the corner of the room closest to me was a tall dark figure, it had claw like hands and but no other definable features. With no other ideas I did the only thing I could think of, I prayed every prayer I could possibly think of asking anything or one who was listening to take this creature away from me.

Finally my desperate pleas were heard because the creature slowly backed into the corner and disappeared into the darkness of night. I laid there to scared to stop praying or move until I could see the first little bits of sunlight from a window to my right. When there was enough light to see I looked around the room for my blanket and phone, the blanket was crumpled on the far side of the room and my phone was on top of it. I ran downstairs to find my uncle eating breakfast already, I questioned if he or my aunt had checked on me all night. He said that neither of them had left their room that night, once my cousin and her friend came down I questioned them as well. Both said they watched movies in my cousins room all night till they went to sleep, to me that meant that the cold hand couldn't have belonged to anyone other than that creature. To this day I never have spent the night at my aunts house, but my cousin has been complaining about feeling cold hands touch her recently. And every time I pass a dark room in their house I feel as though I'm being watched by an unseen person, even my uncle has heard a deep voice talk to him when he was alone in the kitchen it chanted "no! No! No! No!' over and over until he had to leave the house. The scary thing is that this house is brand new and no one died during the construction.... but I'll never stay there again, not with HIM there waiting......
