Bedtime for some kids is best part after a long tiresome day. This was different for me. I was 8 years old and was sacred of the dark because my mother made me watch horror movies with her. We lived in a small house with one large room. In that room my big brother,mother and my dad slept there. My brother and I slept in bunk beds. I was on the bottom and my brother on the top. The room had 2 dressers and a box shaped tv. I felt safe because my parents were in the room when it was dark and most of the times my parents would leave the tv on.
This wasn't for long because we moved into a new house that was twice the size of our old one.
This house was so big we didn't have enough things to fill up the empty spaces. Everytime someone walked, you would hear the wood floor go "dun dun dun" or when someone talked, you weould hear echoes all around the house. My brother and I have our own room now and I felt unsecured. My brother got a new bed and I got the my brothers bed from the bunk beds. We had only our two bed and one big dresser were we kept are clothes. The sun was setting and I started getting nervous about the night that was coming.
As the night was falling I started shaking of fear. My brother fell asleep as well as my parents and the house was all dark and quiet. Only thing u will hear is the clock with a digital clock in it ticking and the fire alarm beeping. Some minutes has pasted and it's now 12:00 am, I couldn't sleep and I had my blanket over me to hide from the dark. I still couldn't sleep and it was 1am in the clock and I started hearing footsteps down the hallway from my door. My heart started pumping fast. Then I felt paralyzed of fear I couldn't reach for my blanket to cover me so I closed my eyes instead, as I hear my door open slowly.
The door was open and I heard footsteps in my room getting closer to me, then the footsteps stop right next to my bed. I felt someone heavy breathing in front of my face and I was paralyzed of fear I couldn't move or say anything. The breathing was cold chilly air like if it wasn't a human. After that I I couldn't not move any muscle but o heard my parents calling my name but I couldn't do anything.
