Spongebob sighed as he stepped out from the Krusty Krab after closing shop, he waved to his neighbor before he stepped inside his boat and started the engine, he switched on the radio, he cocked his brow at the creepy static sound that came on, huh, must be the weather he thought as he shrugged it off and changed the channel before he drove off on his way home.
He sung along with the song as he drove down the road, he jumped when something suddenly hit his windshield, like a ball of dirt and grass, or a really big bug, 'huh' he said to himself, weird, and again, he just shrugged it off and sprayed his windshield and turned the wipers , he must've ran into a muddy puddle or something.
He sighed again as the window finally cleared but it was no use when a storm of mud, and insects started to rain down, smacking into the boat like it was rain, some of it had even managed to rain into the boat, some of it shot at him, he nearly swerved off the road while he tried to dodge the balls of mud and dead insects.
He gasped as he felt something sting the side of his neck, he finally came to a stop on the side of the road, his vision was starting to blur, and his breathing was heavy, he stepped out of the vehicle, he fell to his knees as he held his neck, "Spongebob" rang out a loud whisper that seemed to echo around him.
He looked around to find that no one was there, and that he had to have imagined the mud storm as the road, and his boat were all clear of mud and dead insects, 'hmm, strange.' and his neck no longer hurt, he stood up, why was he out of his boat? He should be home by now with his family.
He stepped back inside his boat where the radio played the same creepy static sound, only it was skipping with the faint sound of sound in the background, he sighed as he switched it off, a nice quiet ride home would probably be best.
Laura's attention was drawn from the kitchen when the front door slammed when her husband walked in. The kids, Thomas, and Lola were sitting in the living room, watching T.V when he walked in, Lola gasped, and jumped up, "Daddy!" she shouted as she ran to him, and he just smiled, leaning down to pick her up.
"Hey, how's daddy's little girl? Where's my hug?" he asked before they hugged, Thomas watched them before he rolled his eyes when their eyes met, Spongebob smiled and Thomas just turned back to the T.V.
Spongebob then looked to his wife who approached him, she smiled and hugged him, he leaned down to kiss her but before he could he gasped in agony after Lola had poked the mark on his neck, causing him to nearly drop her, he put her down and put his head on Laura's shoulder to try and bare the pain.
"Way to go, Lola, You broke dad." Thomas scoffed, Lola just gasped, bringing her hands to her lips, tears filled her eyes, she didn't like the idea that she had hurt her daddy.
Laura reached up to him after she noticed the mark, "Sp, Spongebob, what is that?" she asked, he just smacked her hand away, "I, it's nothing, dear, Its just, a bug bite." he said as he stood up, and he looked down at Lola, he awed, he must've scared her.
He reached his arms out for her, "It's ok, Lola." he said as he brought her in a hug, he wiped her tears, and kissed her forehead before he turned to his wife, "Well, dinner's done if you're hungry." she informed, and he nodded, patting Lola on the shoulder, "Come on guys, let's go eat." he said as he lead the way to the kitchen.
Spongebob stood in the bathroom, using a towel to wipe his body dry, he turned his head back to the room when Laura called for him, he stepped into the room, and she stared at him, she could never get used to his body, he was just so, she shook her head as she cleared a spot for him, she patted the empty spot next to her.
"You coming to bed Robert?" she asked him, and he just giggled as he walked over and slid in the bed, pulling the covers over him, he moved his arm so she could rest her head on his chest, she lifted her head up to kiss him, and he smiled, turning to her he sat up and kissed her back, Spongebob blinked a couple times as she pulled back, just a tease, she smiled and laid back down on his chest.
*tick* *tick* *tick*
Spongebob sighed to himself as he stared up at the ceiling, he glanced at his clock, it was almost two, and he wasn't falling asleep, and he was tired, he closed his eyes again for the hundredth time that night, it would seem that sleep came faster then expected but, when a little voice ran across the room, he jumped up, he looked around to see if someone was in the room with them, he looked at Laura who was sleeping, it couldn't have been her, I mean, it could have been her snoring.
Spongebob sighed as he laid back down, and closed his eyes when heard a whisper, which sounded something like, 'daddy' Spongebob jumped up, turning, expecting Lola to be standing at his side of the bed, asking to sleep with them because she had a nightmare.
"Hmm, Spongebob?" Laura softly spoke as she cracked open on of her eyes, she could feel her husband shifting all night, he looked at her, "hey, did you hear that?" he asked her, and she looked at him, "Hear what?" she asked, 'daddy'
Spongebob jumped out of the bed, "That!" he said, "I think that Lola's out of bed." he said, she cocked her brow, "I don't hear anything, but, if you do, then just, go check." she said as she turned her back to him, he nodded as he turned around to leave the room to check on his daughter in the next room.
He cracked the door open to find little Lola fast asleep, it couldn't have been her, she was asleep, 'daddy' there it was again, he turned around to look at Thomas's room which was already cracked open, he peaked his head through and found that even Thomas was fast asleep. Spongebob's heart started to race, if it wasn't the kids, and it wasn't Laura.
Someone was in the house, but who? He froze at the door as he seen a tall dark shadow deep in the back of Thomas's room, a pair of eyes stared at him, Spongebob watched as the shadow raised it's thick shadowy arm, showing the sharpness of it's claws, panic filled him as the thought of this creature, slicing through his son.
Spongebob without thought, barged in Thomas's room, having him jump out of bed, Spongebob looked around the room, as the shadow had vanished, he must've been seeing things, but that's when he heard a whisper in his ear, but it was far off from anything he'd ever heard, a laugh, a deep, dark demonic laugh, the hair on his neck stood up at how cold the water around him got, he'd never felt something so sinister, so, evil, so bone chilling.
"He smells so, good." the voice whispered before Spongebob screamed at the top of his lungs and yanked Thomas out of his bed, before he turned around and ran back to Lola's room and snatched her up and then raced down stairs.
"D, dad." Thomas spoke as he bounced on his father's shoulder as he ran down the stairs, "Spongebob!" Laura called as she ran down the stairs, she looked at the kids on his shoulders, "What's going on?" she asked before he ducked as he'd seen the same shadow race across the room and run into the kitchen where it was completely dark.
Sweat washed down his face as he grabbed her hand and pulled her along with him, "There's someone in the house." he said as he ran them outside, "What?" she asked, he shook his head as he put the kids down, "I don't know what it was! It was huge, a, and evil! I could hear it's demonic voice, it's laughter! He was gonna kill Thomas!" he shouted snatching up his son to keep him safe.
"Well, we gotta call the cops!" Laura said, and Spongebob nodded, rubbing the top of Thomas's head, "Dad!" he groaned, wanting him to let go, but he wouldn't release his grip.
The officers sighed as they walked out of the Pineapple, and rubbed their faces, Spongebob rushed up to them, "Well?" Spongebob asked, and the men shrugged, "No signs of anyone, must've left, but you can tell us what he looks like and we'll take it from there." the man said as he took out a piece of paper.
"Th, that's the thing, I didn't get a good look at the guy, i just know that he was tall, at least 6 or 7 feet, I just seen his shadow, and heard his, horrible voice." Spongebob said as he gripped at his head, "A shadow? Well, a shadows not gonna help with anything, and the only 6 or 7 foot person we know is, you." they said, "Me?" Spongebob cocked his brow.
"Heh, he must've been spooked by his own shadow, he's too big for his good." one of the officers said, "But, he was staring at me, he was gonna kill my son! He even said that he smelt good! and no offense Tom, but he smells like a sweaty teenager!" he said and Thomas cocked his head before he lifted his armpit to smell.
"You don't have a description of this guy, we can't help you, whoever he was, he's gone now, and you guys can go back to bed, don't these kids have school tomorrow?" the man asked before he turned and signaled his men to follow.
Spongebob sighed as he turned to his family, "Ok, the nice officers said it's safe, come on guys." he said as he waved his arm for them to follow, Thomas then looked at his mother, "Is he ok?" he asked her, and Laura smiled, "Of course, he was just scared, and wanted to protect us from whatever thing he thought he saw, he's probably just tired." she assured before she sent them back to bed.
Spongebob stood in the living room, watching as the kids walked up the stairs to their rooms, "Laura, I swear, there was something in his room." he said, and she turned to look at him, "You think i imagined it, don't you?" he asked, feeling a little winded at the thought, Laura shook her head, "I didn't say that, I just, a shadow?" she questioned, and he sighed, "No shadow could have moved like that, unless there was someone there, and It wasn't me, Laura, I would never raise my hand to my child, especcially while he's sleeping, it talked, Laura." he said as he held her shoulders.
"I, I could feel it, breathing down my neck when I went in that room, a, and it was just, so evil, so dark and, he was in our house!" he said as he kept shaking her, "Do you think I'd make something like that up?" he asked her, and she shook her head, stepping back from him, "No, I just, whatever it was, it's gone now." she said as she rubbed his shoulder, and he sighed, nodding, "I, I really hope so." he said as she helped him up the stairs.
