"WHAT WAS THAT??" I woke up to an obnoxiously loud thump, my heart rapidly beating in my chest. I sat up, and let my eyes addjust to the darkness of my room, with the only light being from the small ray comming from the window. Once my eyes were addjusted to the dimness of my room, i saw nothing. "But... what was that thump?" I said, still drowsy, but awake. "Well, whatever it was, i'm going to investigate!" I got up from my bed, feeling a strange texture beneeth my feet. I pulled my feet up as soon as my half-asleep brain noticed there was something odd about it. Strait after, i heard something moving, but fainthfully. "WHU??" I quickly grabbed my flashlight, turned it on and shined in my room. "What the heck was that?! I swear i heard something move!" Then a thought came to mind. "Maybe..." I got up, carefully, to be shure i stepped on nothing, and got to my sister's room. Once i was there, i heard a fainth breathing comming from the other side of the door, then followed some mumbling. Then i saw that her door was slightly .
"Thats strange, usually she closes her door." With a strange feeling in my stomich, and my heartbeet in my throat, nervues as hell. "Si-" I was stopped in my speech. What i saw standing there, horrified me. A dark, medium-sized figure.
It stood right next to my sister's bed, looking down at her. "WHO ARE YOU?!" I yelled, not thinking twice of the consiquences. It suddenly looked at me, blankly. Then i heard a blood-curtling scream, and saw it jump at me. I jumped up in bed, heart beating in my throat. "HELLEN NO!!" I yelled as i started to realise. "It.... it was just a dream." I said while i stared in front of me. My parents rushed into my room. "Hunny, are you ok?!" "Yeah... im fine. It's just..." I paused, remembering the dream. "Ethan? Are you with me?" My mom started to get a bit uneased, by the fact i wasn't responding. "Whu? Oh, uhm.. i'm... i'm fine mom, thanks." "Ok, Ethan, go back to sleep! You have school tomorrow!" My dad said with a bit of annoyence in his voice. If there's one thing you don't want, is waking my dad up in the middle of the night. "O-ok dad, goodnight then!" My mom got over to me and gave me a hug. "Goodnight..." My parents both headed back to their room, and i layed back down, trying to go back to sleep....
Hours later, i still couldn't sleep. Eery thoughts filled my head. "What of it wasn't a dream? What if my sister really is in danger? What if... what if... what if..." Even though i tried to get the thoughts out of my head, i couldn't...
The next morning, i got out of bed, sleepy from the uneasy night i had. I took some fresh clothes out of my closet, and headed downstairs, to the bathroom. "Goodmorning, sunny!" My mom said while smiling. "Goodmorning mom!..." I din't see my sister "mom, where is Hellen?" "Oh, probably still sleeping. Or she forgot to put her alarm on." This was my chance! I rushed to the bathroom, locked it and did my daily routene there. Once i was done, i got out to go and have brekfast. Once at the table, i saw Hellen comming downstairs. "Goodmornin' sis!" I said teasely to her, cringing a bit. "Mhurhmurh hhhmuurh" She mumpled, which nobody understood. She got to the bathroom, and did her thing as always. Once we were done, we got outside and went to school. "KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ANYTHING STRAANGE!!" "OK MOM!!"
