Unwanted Visitor

The Horror Of Waking Up In The Middle Of The Night

Luna woke up from her deep sleep at 2:45am. She rubbed her eyes and sighed as her eyes got used to the darkness of her room. Strange sounds woke her up, thumping on the wood floor. But she heard Vergil's slow breathing besides her and she let that relaxed her. Luna and Vergil had been married for five years now, and they dated for two years prior to their marriage. Luna turned around to lay on her side, her back facing Vergil. A few seconds later, she felt his arm wrap around her and she felt safe and comfortable. She was about to go back to sleep when she noticed a strange smell in the room. It was sort of metallic and reminded her of something, something she couldn't remember at the moment. Luna tried to ignore the smell until she couldn't take it anymore and turned on her small lamp on the night stand that was on her side of the bed. The sudden light blinded her for several seconds, when her eyes finally got used to the light, she saw a dark stain on the wooden floor. She sat on the edge of the bed, inspecting the stain with her vision before she finally got up and bent over to examine it closely. She realized it was the stain that was making the smell, she touched it with the tip of her index finger. "Still fresh" she silently muttered to herself. She turned her hand around and her fingertip was red. That's when it hit her. It was blood, the stain on the floor was fresh blood and the metallic smell from earlier was of it. Luna looked over to the side and saw her husband on the floor, his eyes gouge out and his bloody empty sockets staring at her. She felt her stomach getting sick and started to gag. She saw that his cheeks were cut open to resemble a Glasgow Smile, his tongue also gone. And that made her go over the edge as she started vomiting onto the floor in front of her. Luna cleaned her mouth with her shirt when she started to realize that if her husband had been dead... Who was in the bed with her? As the last word finished in her mind, she heard the bed sheets rustle and turned around to see the most horrifying creature. It's eyes were yellow with a dilated pupils, it had no lips so it looked like it was eternally grinning. It's skin was grey and so skinny she could see the bones underneath. But what scared her the most, was the fact that it's eyes were filled with pure evil and malice. Luna was paralyzed with fear, the creature approached her and grabbed her arm gently. She didn't dare to move, fearing it would get angry. It tightened its grip and ripped out her arm violently, she began to scream, having just experienced the greatest pain in all her life. She fell down into the floor on her back, the creature tore apart her shirt and began to rip apart her stomach, eating her guts as she slowly faded away. The last thing Luna saw were those evil yellow eyes staring into her soul before everything went dark.
