Whatever It Was

This was so weird. I had never been in my house alone for the night. My parents were out on a date and would'nt be home until tomorrow. My sister was at a friends house and my brother was on a fields trip with his school.

I wasn't scared at all, I'm home alone a lot during the day but at night it's different. Not a creepy different, more like an alone different.

I lie in my bed staring at my door for no reason. I always keep my door closed when I sleep. Tonight the house seemed like an eerie quiet. No sound at all, it was like I was death.

Suddenly I heard a loud BANG from downstairs. It sounded like a small crack of thunder hitting against the kitchen floor. What was tha? I wasn't scared because I figured it was proabbly my dog... but how could she make that sound? Maybe my sister was home and she dropped something? But I hadn't heard a door open so what the hell was it?

Now I was getting slightly scared so I prayed and curled up in my bed, staring at my door. Somehow the silence seemed even more eerie than before. I didn't dare close my eyes. In my mind I tracked the space between the kitchen and my bedroom. But how do I know it came from the kitchen? I decided to just forget it so I closed my eyes and hoped morning would come but instead I was greeted by a loud thumping noise. Thump! Thump! Thump! Getting louder and louder with each thump. It sounded close, like it was coming up the steps. It had to be my sister, even though she was being extremely loud. But I knew it wasn't my sister because then I heard a screeching noise that sounded like claws scraping against a chalkboard.

Horrified, I jumped to my feet and grabbed the rosary by my bedside.

I flung my bedroom door open and was completely astonished by the sight I saw at the end of my hallway. Reaching the top of the stairs was an absolutely horrible creature with a head and two arms but no legs or body. It was using it's arms to move in the creepiest way ever, crawling its way up each step. It's face was so twisted and demented it was horrifying. When it used its arms, it raised one arm high and flung it down on the ground making the thumping noise. Then it would use it hideous claws to pull itself up.

I tried to scream but nothing came out except a messed up gargling noise. The creature looked at me for the first time and I was immediately paralyzed with fear. My blood stopped flowing as did my heart. Shakily I raised my rosary.

The creature let out a horrible screech like it was in imense pain, pissed off. Then it crawled like a terrible horrifying thing i couldn't put into words, it was like the grudge. Within seconds the creature was right in front of me.

It raised itself on its long arms making it level with me, looking me dead in the eyes. I couldn't take it, I passed out.

Weeks later I woke up in the hospital, on my death bed with a very bloody rosary hanging on the windowsill.
