Silence

I started to doze of waiting for that stupid sound, and then there it was. I was sure that I would find it this time. I hadn't moved since before, and now I heard it in front of me. Suddenly the air was changed. It was the groggy, damp feeling from before. I started to look at all the possible places for it to be. First I looked at the corner where my door meets my wall. Nothing, then I panned to my left looking at the dark little cracks underneath my closet doors, pausing every few feet waiting for a movement. Then I heard a knock on my door, it was my parents, coming to say goodnight. I opened the door slowly but not suspicious, my dad was standing there with my mom, but they didn't look the same for some reason. My Dads face was long and drawn out, and almost looked dead, my moms was pale and thin, and the light behind her made her look almost like demon. Well I was tired, I went to hug my dad and he stepped back and said,

"Not tonight, tonight you will sleep good without a hug."

this was strange so almost unsettling to my stomach, so I turned around, then I felt a sharp blow to the back of my neck, I dropped to the floor, making a swift thump with my hip hitting the ground, then something started to pull at my ankles and I reached out for anything but the only thing I could manage was to scratch my bedside with my fingernails.
