THE WATCHER

1//Welcome

Lucy was laying on her bed listening to music. It had been a long day at school and she was tired. Her bedroom was a complete mess - clothes on the floor and books everywhere. She laid her head down on her pillow and sighed. Her wavy blond hair scattered around her. Although she was tired, she was bored. She decided to call her father. He should be on his way back by now. He had been out the whole day. Her phone was on her bed side table so she reached over and grabbed it.

The phone dialled the number to call her father.
Hi sweetie
*Hey Dad
Is everything ok?
*Yeah I'm just lonely without you
I will be back soon
*Ok
Lucy stared out her window and then looked down...

*DAD WHAT IS THAT THING IN THE GARDEN!?*
What are u talking about?
*There is like a beast outside!
Oh no...
*What is it!?
It's back
Get to the safe room! Now!
*What?
Just go!
*No, tell me what's going on!
Ok fine but keep your eyes locked on it. If you see it then it can't move
*Ok

The monster continued to stand outside and look up at the window. It had dark brown fur and nasty yellow teeth. It snarled at her. Fear was in Lucy's eyes as they were locked onto the beast's.

Oh and honey?
*Yeah dadd-d
Don't reply if it texts you
*Why would it text me
Just don't answer, I will be home soon
*Ok dad please hurry
Ok
The phone call ended and Lucy was left again, with... 'it'.

Her body started to feel tense as she kept a watchful eye on the. Thing. Thoughts washed around in her head...
Why was it here?
  What even is it?
    What does dad know?
      Why did dad say 'its back'?

Lucy was so deep in thought that her focus went off the beast for a split second. She snapped back into real life and realised she was not watching it. Lucy glanced out the window and soon enough realized that the beast was gone from her front lawn.

Her eyes scanned the lawn and patio - nothing!
There was no telling what that thing could do; it could even kill on sight!
