The Angel and her Demon

Five

Ally's point of view

I turned the tv off, listening cautiously if there would be another sound head - but no. It was dead silent in the house. And for some reason that scared me even more.

I didn't dare get up from the couch. I just sat there like I was petrified listening to the dead silence. Whatever or whoever made that sound must have got in the house through a window. But it's the second floor and there are no trees close to the windows.

Also, the windows are always locked. So how the hell could someone get in there? Okay Ally, relax. Maybe it was just some stuff falling from a shelf or something like that. Although - why would stuff fall off a shelf by itself?

I sighed frustrated, trying to find my phonew in my pocket. But it wasn't there. Crap, I must've left it upstairs. I sighed annoyed feeling a little more unsafe now that my phone was upstairs and I was all alone.

I sure hope no one is up there and it was just some stuff falling. Because if someone's up there, I'm screwed.

Ten minutes had passed, and I decided to flick the tv back on to keep me from thinking about that noise. It idn't work that well too, but after a while I felt my eyelids become heavy. I yawned and finally gave in for the tiredness and closed my eyes.

I soon felt comfortable on the couch and forgot about everything that had just happened and just fell in a somewhat deep sleep.

I was walking through a dark forest. It was all dark and foggy around me and the only light came from the moon that was shining above the trees, a faint light reaching the path I was walking along. I didn't hear any noises except for my own footstepd and the leafs crunching under my feet.

Other than that it was dead silent. It was scary in a way, although I didn't think much of it as I just walked and walked. I didn't seem to have a destination and I just kept walking along the path.

The path seemed like it'd never end. I couldn't see the end of it - it just continued and there was dark forest surrounding it.

Suddenly, there was a snap, it sounded like a stick breaking as someone stepped on it. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked around me in the forest. But because of the darkness I couldn't see anything except for my own feet.

The forest around me was pitch black and I had no idea who or what could be lurking in there. And the thought of that scared me a hell of a lot. All of a sudden there was a cold breeze surrounding me.

It made shivers run down my spine, and it made me feel scared. It didn't feel like normal wind, it felt somehow different. I can't explain how it felt different, but it just did.

As the breeze finally stopped, I felt like I was being watched. Like someone was close to me. And it was a very uneasy feeling to be honest. I decided to just continue walking. I walked for a while, but then something in front of me made me stop dead in my tracks. There was a dark figure standing a few meters away from me.

It looked like a humans figure but then again it didn't. The figure was standing with their back facing me. Maybe I should just turn around, I thought to myself. I couldn't just walk up there not knowing what that figure was.

"Oh babygirl, you ain't going nowhere." A cold voice spoke, it seemed to echo in the forest. The voice was inhuman. It came out as a low hiss, it was cold, demanding and it made me feel scared.

My breath got caught in my throat. Did that thing just read my thoughts?

"Oh you bet babygirl, I can read every single thought that's in your mind." The figure chuckled darkly and I shivered.

"W-W-Who are you?" I ask, my voice shaking slightly. The figure chuckled and turned around so it was facing me. I gasped. I couldn't see the figures face, but what I saw were two blood red eyes staring at me through the dark. It was frightening.

End of dream

I snapped awake breathing heavily and sweating.My heart was beating fast and the dream was still fresh in my mind. Those frighteining bloody red eyes and a black figure. The figure was frightening.

It seemed human and inhuman at the same time. The figure's eyes were bloody red and anger was flaring through them. It's voice was so demanding, low, cold... It was like a hiss. No human talks like that. It took me a while to calm myself down - it was just a damn dream Ally, nothing more, nothing less.

I kept saying that to myself but something in me was doubting my own thoughts. That small voice in my head was screaming that the figure in the dream was real. But creatures like that do not excist do they? No, they definitely do not.

Suddenly the door slammed making me snap out of my thoughts. Mom and dad were finally home! I smiled and jumped off the couch and ran toward the hall where they'd probably be by now.

On my way there I glanced at the clock, 8 pm. I saw my parents standing in the hall, putting their shoes and jackets away. They both looked tired, it was no wonder after a long day of work though.

"Hey mom, dad!" I greeted them smiling. I was so grateful they came home. I was getting really paranoid and scared by being home alone and all those creepy things happening. But now I thankfully wasn't home alone anymore.

"Hey sweetie" Mom said and embraced me in a hug, as did my dad soon after. I love my parents more than anything in this world and they mean so much to me. They can be annoying at times but at times like this they make me feel safe.

"Alright, I'll be making some dinner real quick and then we can eat" my mom announced. I smiled and nodded, skipping to the kitchen to help my mom with dinner.

After I was finished with dinner I stood up from the table and put my plate in the sink. My parents were still eating.

"I'll be upstairs" I said and smiled at my parents before skipping to the bottom of the stairs. Once I stood there a shiver ran down my back. Now I'd have to go up there and face whatever had happened there.

I was a bit afraid of what I's see there. Scratch that, I was a lot afraid. It could be anything. The stairs creaked under my feet as I slowly walked up the stairs.

Right as I came in my room I knew something was wrong. A cold breeze was hitting my skin as I stepped further into my room. It was dark, I couldn't see a thing except for the moon shining high above in the sky through my window.

The curtains were moving lightly because of the light wind that was blowing in my room. I shivered and quickly switched the lights on. When I flicked the lights on I noticed two odd things.

The other one of them I had sort of noticed right as I stepped in the room. Firstly, when Hannah and I left my room, the window was closed and locked. I was sure of that. My window is locked at all times when it's closed. But right now it was wide open.

Secondly, there was a single black feather on the floor. I walked to it and picked it up. It was long and it was pitch black. It wasn't there when I went downstairs. Someone had been in my room.
