They came from the Attic.

Just something I wrote, nothing special...

You could only ever hear them at night. 

 By day they hide, what I thought was in freight. 

I saw them once, impish and grey. 

They have beedie eyes, obsidian like black holes.

 They wait until my mom turns off the lights to scamper around and cause mischief.

 They flicker with the lights, they hide my mommy's keys! 

They like to play the piano, but they play off key! 

 My mommy gets mad, she doesn't know what to do

My daddy tries to assure her "it's all in her head" but they took something, she would never find again. 

One night, we decided to watch a movie on the couch. 

Mommy was sleeping, daddy was working and my little sister was playing with her dolls on the carpet floor. 

A loud noise was heard

 It came from the attic! 

Bomp'!

Were they coming out to play? Mommy won't see them, but this would be my second time! 

I was excited, yet something in the pit of my stomach made it turn. 

 Sqreee!! 

The attic door! 

I jumped up as I heard it fling open.

 I didn't know what it was, but something made me feel a sense of terror in that moment.

 I looked over to my mom hoping she'd have woken up, but to my dismay, she was in a dead sleep. She was so still, as if her heart had ceased! 

Fear struck me as I looked around the room. 

 A light flickered in the hallway

  I stood up with the courage to investigate

only then,did I look down realizing, I wasn't the only one with courage. 

 My sister! 

  Panic enveloped me, I looked to my mother, she was stone stiff! I touched her shoulder, but she was unresponsive. 

"Mom!" I tried to yell, but nothing came out.

 A warbling sound penetrated my ears as I darted across the room. 

The floor felt like sand, it was so hard to move! 

 I held my arms up to my head, shielding me from the debris flinging through the air. I tried to keep my eyes open, but the harsh lights were blinding me. I finally made it to the end of the hallway and there I saw my sister, floating in front of the attic door! I tried to yell out her name, I used every bit of strength in my body to run to her!

 There was a loud piercing sound and another blinding light.

It seemed almost like an eternity of silence, but only lasting a few seconds. I could hear a faint chatter, boxed in like a radio, like a humm.

 I slowly opened my eyes...

 I had landed back on the couch.

The TV was on

 my mom was on the couch sleeping,

 but my little sister wasn't there playing with her toys.
