the monster under her bed

The one-shot

Amy wakes up to a loud scratching noise under her bed. When she tries to turn on her lamp it won't work, she hears it again. Then she sees the clawed hands coming out from under her bed, she freezes scared. A growl emits from under her bed and the figure comes out. It's at least 8 feet tall with a wide grin full of sharp teeth stained with blood and long arms attached to huge clawed hands, little does she know that it's the blood of her parents and little sister. Its skin is grey and flaking its fingers are unnaturally long with sharp claws at the end. She's hoping her mom or dad will come in and save her but they can't save her no matter how much she screams and cries for her parents.

The monster takes a step towards her as she backs up. It screeches an high pitched blaring sound to scare her but it doesn't get a scream so it approaches, the girl screams for her mother, she'll never come to save her. She starts crying the monster looks at her curiously with its large black eyes. When she sees its eyes filled with curiosity her crying is reduced to quiet sniffles and whimpers. " Why do you cry child it will not save you." It says in a distorted voice " I-I'm scared, I don't want to die" she replied in her shaky voice. It lunges at her with it claws mouth agape she screams, it's claw sinks into the wall next to her head. She realizes it's playing with her like a cat does a mouse when it wants to eat it. She sits there as the monster backs up and smiles its tongue coming out of its mouth, it comes towards her and licks her with its unnaturally long tongue.

Amy screams again as it pulls away and looks at her with now red eyes that show it's lust for blood, fear and it's insatiable hunger. She starts trembling feeding the monsters want- no need for fear. The monster comes closer close enough for it to touch her, It runs a sharpened claw down her face drawing blood. She touches her cheek and then looks at her hand it's covered in her own blood, she screams the monster chuckles. "Why, why are you doing this to me." She says in a shaking voice "Why you wanna know why you ask me why when you're the one that wanted me here in the first place" it says bursting into a fit of laughter it looks at her and its eyes have the same evil glint as the scary man down the hall and grins.

"Sir subject 361 is having another fit." The woman tells the psychologist in a polite manner. He sighs "That poor girl her schizophrenia is so bad she is driving herself crazy." He looks at her file again a sad look in his eyes. "Today's her tenth birthday huh? Poor girl can't even celebrate her birthday." He says to himself out loud. He looks at the monitor showing an image of the very girl he was just thinking about. He screams his assistant comes in " W-what is that." His assistant half yells. He realizes the girl isn't schizophrenic and the monster she spoke of was real. " Alert the building of it and get security to shoot the monster." He says quickly to the assistant as she runs out. He looks back at the monitor to see Amy's tattered gown and the room covered in blood. Then he hears a growl behind him he quickly turns around to face it and screams. After hearing the scream his assistant runs in to see him being devoured by a beast eight feet tall with grey flaking skin and fingers as long as her hand adorned with sharp claws. That night what used to be a mental hospital became a bloodbath. No one survived and the government never found the monster that escaped that horrible night. Unbeknownst to some this beast is the one that goes bump under there bed and gives them nights filled with fright.
