(Y/N's p.o.v.)
After a chaotic morning with my scared to death mother, frantic doctors, and busy police officers, I was left alone with my mom.
" Are you okay, honey?" She said, tears staining her cheeks.
I could only nod as my body ached from the injuries and pain it endured. She held my hand and cried softly.
" Mom, how's dad and Caleb doing?"
" The doctors say that they'll be fine, but will be in pain for while."
I nodded again and sighed. That thing had hurt all of us badly, but at least I hurt that fucker back. I closed my eyes as mom held my hand. I was so tired and just wanted to sleep. My mom kissed my head and smiled.
" I'm so proud of you honey."
I looked at her.
" For what?"
" The police saw you chase after it and heard it scream. You hurt it, didn't you?"
" Yeah, hurt it the best I could."
She smiled and kissed my head. We talked for a while and she has to leave when visiting hours are over. She left and I looked at the clock. It was pretty late already. I sighed and leaned back. I wanted to see my dad and brother. I let my mind wander. Who the hell or.....what the hell was that thing!? And.....would it come back??

I sighed and I sink into my bed. I wanted this nightmare to be over. I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep. When I woke up the next morning. Later on in the day, the doctor came in, gave hme a prescription for some painkillers then let me leave. Caleb and dad would have to stay until tomorrow, so I walked to my dad's house alone. I walked in and saw the messy house. Sighing, I started cleaning after changing out of the scrubs the hospital let me have, since my clothes were too bloody and tore to wear anymore. After a long day of cleaning, I flopped down on the couch, exhausted.
"Well, could alway be worse right?"
I yawn and go to the kitchen for some food. I made a couple of sandwiches, then went back to the livingroom. I turned on the TV and put on a movie. As I ate and watched the movie, I noticed the storm cloud a moving in. Putting my food down, I locked all the doors and windows to the house, just in case. Once that was done and I had ate, I grabbed a blanket and curled up on the couch. I few asleep watching a Night on elms Street movie. When I wole up the next day, I got dressed to go see my dad and Caleb.

After grabbing an appel, that would serve for my breakfast, I stepped out of the house and froze

After grabbing an appel, that would serve for my breakfast, I stepped out of the house and froze. Scratches littered the door and that familiar black hunk from the creature was in little splatters here and there.

It came back.

I was terrified, but...it was able to get into the house last time, even when all the doors and windows locked. So why didn't it do it again? This thing was messing with me. Leting out a shakey sighs, I ran away from the house and to the hospital. Dad and Caleb were outside, waiting for me. They looked happy to see me, then their smiles fades.
" (Y/N)? What's wrong?"
I explained everything to them and got in a taxi and went home. Upon coming home and reaching the front door, they saw what was left. Caleb called the police as dad and I went inside. Oncw the police arrived, they took picture of what that thinv had did and asked me questions. When they asked if I had heard anything, I told them no, more than likely thanks to the storm. They nodded and after a few more questions, they left. Caleb walked over to me and hugged my shoulder.
" Well, at least it didn't get in right?"
" But Caleb, we had all the doors nad windows locked last time and it still out in. Why didn't it do it this time?"
Cabel looked down, as if trying to come up with an answer.
" I....I don't know."
We shared a look of worry then my dad walked in.
" Okay, kids. The police said the would have a trooper keep watch over our house for a few nights, just to be on the safe side."
We nodded, then dad and Caleb tried to enjoy the rest of the day. I couldn't, thing was toying with us, toying with me. I know I wasn't the strongest, but that thing wasn't going to hurt them again.

Never again!

It would have to kill me before it got to them. As night came, my brother and dad went to sleep. I couldn't, i couldn't no matter how hard I tried. I finally gave up and went to the livingroom. I sat on the couch and watched a few TV shows. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. As i turned my attention back to the tv, I saw something pass the window from the corner of my eye. I sat up straight and rubbed my eyes. When I looked again, there was nothing there. I got up and double checked every door and window. I was so scared and nervous, I was shaking. I wouldn't let anything hurt my family but that doesn't make it any less scary. Slowly, I head back to the livingroom and closed all the curtains. I took a seat and continued to watch TV. As the night passed, I never once slept. When my Caleb and dad found me the next day, i was still sitting on the couch, an energy drink in hand.
" Sis? Did you sleep at all last night?"
" No. I was too scared to."
Caleb helped me up and walked me to my room.
" Come on, sis. You need to sleep."
As we walked into my room, he laid me down and covered me up.
" Get me some sleep. Love you, baby sis."
" Love you too, bro."
As he left, I forced myself to close my eyes and sleep.
