Heya took a break from my Dues story but I'll be getting back to it, this is just something I came up with. Just something about the infected or as they are portrayed in this story as the 'monsters'.

Valve owns everything to do with Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 XD

Sweet dreams my child, may your guardian angel look after you forever more

Don't be frightened of the monsters that lurk outside

I will never let them hurt you and I will never let them in

They may pound at the door and scream in pain, they may scratch the windows at night

Some of them might weep and wail while others will growl and shout

But they will never get past me because I won't let them, you are too precious to me

Daddy tried his best to protect us and that is how we should remember him

He was dragged into the darkness to keep the monsters away

He loved you so much and he will always live on in your heart

Sweet dreams my child and don't be afraid

The monsters will never harm you and if they try I will make sure they wished they never had.

The young boy held his soft teddy bear tightly to his chest while his mother walked off into the room just next to him. The night was long and the wails of the monsters outside kept the young boy awake, every now and then they scratched the windows and left blood stains on the glass. Luckily the bars on the windows kept them from ever entering through the window but that is not what scared the boy the most.

"Mummy! Mummy!" he yelled and in an instant the woman entered the young boy's room with and large fire axe held firmly in her hands. "What is it sweetie? I'm here" she quickly ran over to the young boy's side and hugged him tightly once she had placed the axe down. The woman gazed into the boys big brown eyes that were red and puffy from crying.

"I can't sleep Mummy" the tears streamed down his face but the woman just wiped them away. "The monsters can't get you, sweetie" she assured the boy but he continued to cry over and over. Then the young boy stopped crying and faced his mother.

"What about the monster in the closet Mummy?" The boy asked hugging his bear tightly once more, the woman's eyes widened as they came to face the closet that was now wide open. She looked for the glowing eyes of the monster but there were none.

A sigh of relief left the woman as she closed the closet, "Sweetie there is no monsters in the closet" she smiled at the boy who was now looking at her in horror. "Then what is that behind you?" the boy hesitated as his finger pointed directly behind the woman.

The woman realised she didn't have her axe in her hand but it was already too late, by then the sharp yellow teeth sunk into her neck ripping the flesh out. The woman held her neck to try and stop the bleeding but the monster continued to scratch and bite her over and over until it was nothing but a bloody mess.

By then the boy had hidden under his bed, crying himself softly to sleep as the monster left the room. All he heard for the next couple of minutes was the screaming of his family as the monsters finally made their way in.....

Sweet dream dear child, close your eyes and drift into your dreams.....the monsters have finally come in.
