I woke up one night to a sudden yowl out side my window. I found this odd as none of my neighbours had cats. I creeped out of my bed and looked out the window. Nothing. I'm probably hearing things again or being paranoid, this is what you get for reading horrors before bed. As I turned around I heard the same yowl again but this time it sounded closer like it was behind me. But that's impossible there is no way it could get in. I slowly turn around and see nothing. Well that was pretty anticlimactic. I crawl back into my bed and go to sleep.

I hear a thud and wake up. I turn over in my bed slowly to face my doorway. There were two green eyes staring at me, they look like a cats. What how did that get in my house I had all my windows and doors locked. I look closer my eyes adjusting to the light. The eyes look like a cats but the body shape is way to big it looks the size of a human, or a really large dog at least but the eyes are the right size for a cat. The thing moved forward slowly and I watched it unsure of what to do my mind couldn't comprehend what was happening. How did it get in. I didn't notice the creature lunge forward at incredible speed. It is on top of me now I can see it properly. The body looks like a female human wearing nothing but a ragged dress, I examine her more until I see her face. Oh God. Sh- She has the head of a cat. I scream fear consuming me at the realization of what is happening. She picked up her had with long claw like nails and struck. And that's when I figured out how she got in... The chimney.
