Dark Day Arising

On a dark and stormy night, Amy was studying for her yearly exams. It was Thursday 12th.
The clock struck twelve. "9, 10, 11, 12...... DONG!"
Amy counted the chimes, but there was one extra. She pondered to herself as to why there was 13 chimes as opposed to 12. But she returned to her studies with a convinced mind that it was only a default in the clock.
As she eagerly anticipated for a good night sleep, she thought to herself that she might wait for her parents to come home. Then, without any notice, someone tapped on her bedroom window. With hesitation, she checked the window, but oddly enough no one was there.
Suddenly, Amy caught a glimpse of an agile movement with the corner of her eye. As a sudden reaction, she turned around with fear in her veins. Amy spotted a mysterious figure lurking in the very depths of the dark. An eerie silence surrounded the room. The very sight of the anonymous being devoured her train of thought. A flow of mixed emotions polluted the natural instincts of her absentminded conscience.
He was getting closer.
Amy soon realized what dark day was arising, but knew it was too late.
With open arms and an allegiance of terror.
Death awaited her arrival.
