Under My BED!

That night I was sleeping, I heard a strange noise. It was pitch black in my bedroom, I couldn't see a single thing! My bed is small and so is my blanket, my feet are always out side of my blanket over the edge of my bed.

It was really cold that night, I was shivering! Around 4:00am when I was sleeping, my feet were ticklish. Someone's fingers were touching my feet. I felt it, I was so scared that I couldn't bare to look. I knew my parents were asleep.
SUDDENLY it grabbed my foot!

I was screaming in my head, I slowly tucked my feet into my small blanket. UNEXPECTEDLY it grabed my foot again! I was annoyed and scared at the same time...

It whispered, "Give me your soul and I'll give you a life..." I ignored, it whispered it again in a deeper voice. I didn't believe what was happening.

At the end it sucked out my soul and I became like it too...
