Chapter 1
I woke up with a jolt. Slowly, I got out of bed and peeked out my bedroom door. There, stood a dark figure glaring at me with a creepy smile. I closed my eyes for a second. I wondered if I was hallucinating. I breathed heavily while closing my eyes, waiting for the creature to disappear. When I opened my eyes it was gone.
"This isn't real," I whispered to myself. Thoughts ran through my head. I ignored them and told myself it was just a dream, I turned to go back to my bed. As I turned back, I saw the creature again. It was behind me the whole time. I stormed down the stairs and screamed for help.
The creature followed me as I ran. Once I reached my garden door, I pulled it with such force that I felt it break. I felt my face hitting the ground and mud smeared on my cheek. Suddenly, something grabbed my ankle.
I look up terrified, my eyes widen as a dark shadow stood above me. The creature pulled me into the long grass.
As I got dragged, I remembered the pocket knife my mum always tells me to carry around when she's at work. I reach into my pocket but it wasn't there.
Where is my knife!
Then, something shiny caught my eye. I reached out to get it grasping it as hard as I can so it won't fall out of my hand. I look at it with an eager grin.
I aimed the knife at the creature and blood flowed out of his body. His blood flowed onto me, soaking my clothes. The creature staggered out in pain.
I sprinted out of my backyard, through my kitchen gripped the front door handle. As I sprinted, I saw creatures everywhere. I thought my mind was just playing games with so I didn't bother.
I stopped sprinting. I'm nearly there!
I opened the door, I looked down and there I see my mum covered in blood, her eyes full of shock, her mouth hanging open.
I kneeled by her side crying but I hear a noise. I didn't pay attention to it at first but I hear it again I turn around, my vision blurry. I quickly wipe my tears away as it chased me down the aisle...
