Hiding in the darkness

A Poem by Sabrina Rauch

I woke up to see a dark figure standing at the edge of my bed. For what seemed like hours we stared at each other. His black emotionless face seemed to memorize me, It was like I couldn't move. After what seemed to be like eternity he tilted his head ever so slightly and I saw it. Out of the corner of my eye was another creature, this time not human.... His head was rolling on the ground under what seemed to be like his tentacle arm that was attached to something I think was supposed to be a torso. The light from the hallway shined on it as it inched towards me ever so slowly. His razor sharp teeth stuck out of what seemed to be a mouth but it really looked like a sliced cut. His eyes black as his heart that showed from the stretching hole in his chest. His legs dragged across the ground as blood feel from his throat. I looked back at the other figure to find him gone. Breathing was what I heard next to me before the razor sharp teeth man jump on my bed hollering and spitting in my face.

Darkness over took me. I woke up to my mother weeping next to my bed. Father hugged her as sissy climbed on top of my bed. She leaned over me and smiled. Her eyes held evil as they turned black. "He is finally gone. Forever." I couldn't move or scream as the men in white took me away. Mother and father both cried while Lilly stood there smiling. Her giggles reached my ears terrifying me.

I watched over my family in the dark after that. Lilly was the one I watched the most. She grew up to be beautiful and when she finally reached the age I had died at she vanished. I stay in the shadows, watching over all. Be careful. I might behind you right now.
