Horror Stories

KNOCK KNOCK....

This is a story of a young girl who has a very strange feelings.....

I leaned straight over the bed to see what I expected to see, but knowing that something woke me up.  The moonlight filtered through the window and I trembled despite the needlessly hot temperature.  After a few moments I heard it;  A soft harness of the fingers against the glass.  Slowly I turned my head towards the window and hoped that some horrible creature would be sitting there with pointed knuckles and terrible claws - but there was nothing there.  There was not even air to push the branches against the window.  Carefully I slipped out of bed and looked out of the window, relieved to realize that there was nothing outside.

"Just hearing things." I murmured coming back to the bed. I wasn't used to sleeping alone but my partner was away on business. Surely it was just the change in routine startling me. Moments before getting into the bed I heard the tapping again, slightly louder this time; less hesitant. I spun around, sandy blond curls sticking to my suddenly sweaty brow. The window was clear. A still and empty sky allowed the full moon to illuminate the ground below revealing no one or thing outside.

This time a loud banging, behind me; like fists pounding on glass trying to escape. Against my better judgement I crossed the bedroom to the bathroom, resting my hand against the warm wooden door before pushing gently. A bit of moonlight spilled into the room. Nothing different or odd, nothing jumping out but... I shivered again and leaned over to light the candle I knew would be to my left. The warm glow seemed much brighter then normal and I jumped when I caught my reflection.

"It's just me..." I trailed off as the 'me' in the mirror raised it's hand before flashing white fangs and shattering the glass.
