"Goodnight Rebecca," Chelsea Barnes said as she leaned down and kissed her daughter on the forehead goodnight. Her curly black hair tickled Chelsea's nose. Rebecca's hair reminded Chelsea of her wild, uncontrollable hair when she was in her youth. Chelsea adjusted the Princess themed covers making sure Rebecca was properly tucked in for the night.
"Night mommy," her daughter replied sleepily looking at her with those hazel eyes. Her arms lay wrapped around her newly acquired stuffed bear that she had named Freddy. They had won 'Freddy' at the carnival that was in town this weekend. They had all taken a shot at throwing a ball to knock down some pins. Derek had beaten the rigged game and let Rebecca pick out whatever she wanted from the selection of prizes. After much deliberation between the giant minion and the giant stuffed bear, she decided to go with the bear.
Chelsea walked over to Rebecca's princess night light and bent down. She turned it on and shut off the room light causing the dark to be illuminated by a faint pink glow. Chelsea always told her daughter that the nightlight would keep away all the bad monsters that lived in her closet and under her bed.
"I love you sweetie," Chelsea said standing in the doorway looking back at her daughter.
"You too mommy," Rebecca replied faintly. She was already starting to drift off to sleep. A smile came to Chelsea's face as she slowly shut the door behind her on her way out of her daughter's room. She made her way down the hallway and into the bedroom with the smile still lingering.
"What's got you smiling?" Her husband asked already lying in bed. He was working his way through the latest Stephen King novel with his reading glasses on. Chelsea always thought the glasses made him look dorky, but in a sexy nerd way. She noticed a little bit of grey beginning to show up in his dark black hair.
"Just Rebecca. Oh Derek, she is turning out to be such a beautiful young girl. It feels like only yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital and now look at her. She is already seven years old going on eight next month," Chelsea said as she walked over to the dresser and began changing into her pajamas.
Derek had put his book down and looked over at Chelsea with his gorgeous blue eyes. "Well she gets her good looks from her mother," Derek said earning an eyebrow raise from Chelsea. She caught him glancing over her bare skin.
"Sucking up are we?" Chelsea accused as she finished putting on her nightgown. He chuckled and gave her a wink. A wide smile spread across her face as she slipped into the bed and under the covers. She snuggled close to Derek and rested her head on his chest. "We did well."
"Yes we did," he replied giving her a kiss on the back of her head. She leaned her head back and her lips met his. "He always had the softest lips." She thought to herself.
"We better get some sleep," Derek said in between kisses. "You have to get up early and bake cupcakes for Rebecca's school fundraiser tomorrow. Remember?"
"Crap, I forgot all about that. Is it already Monday tomorrow?" Chelsea grumbled giving him one last peck on the lips. Derek chuckled and removed his glasses. He placed them on the nightstand and turned off the lamp.
He leaned over and gave Chelsea a goodnight kiss. "Night honey. I love you."
"I love you more," she countered snuggling against him. She closed her eyes and felt his breath on the back of her neck.
"Never in a million years," he whispered. His breath tickled the back of her neck.
"I'm too tired to continue, but you better expect to continue this in the morning," Chelsea said.
"Oh I count on it," he retorted.
….
A loud thump caused Chelsea to jolt awake. She looked around expecting Rebecca to be jumping on the bed begging them to wake up, but it was still extremely dark in the room. She looked over at the clock on the night stand to be blinded by the hazy red light. After her eyes adjusted to the red glow, she saw that it was only two in the morning. Sighing, she snuggled back up against Derek and closed her eyes. She was about to drift back off to sleep when she heard the thumping noise again. The noise was louder this time and it sounded like it was in the room.
Derek must have heard it too because he began to stir. "What's that noise?" He whispered his voice sounding groggy.
"I don't know. Maybe it's Jade. Maybe she is dreaming she's chasing a squirrel or something," Chelsea suggested. Jade was their beloved Siberian Husky that they had gotten five years ago. Derek had gotten her as an anniversary present for Chelsea.
"Yeah, you're probably right," Derek answered too tired to think of anything else. "Yeah I think I see her over there at the foot of the bed. Did you give her a bath? She looks really white."
"No, maybe Rebecca did," she said resting her head back on Derek and closing her eyes.
Derek tried dismissing the thought and going to sleep, but something was bugging him. After a few moments of deep thought the answer hit him like a freight train. His eyes shot open and he felt the panic slowly sink in.
"Hey honey," Derek whispered into the silence.
"Yeah," Chelsea mumbled with her eyes still closed.
"I just remembered something," he said tensing up.
"What?" She asked getting worried by his tone.
"I put Jade out in her kennel tonight because it was beautiful outside and thought she would enjoy it," he whispered nervously.
"Yeah so?" She asked not seeing his point.
"So whatever is at foot of this bed isn't Jade," he said trying to remain as cool and collected as he possibly could. Just then it all clicked in Chelsea's mind of what he was trying to say.
Chelsea peeked her eyes open, but didn't dare to move. She saw the figure Derek was talking about. It looked human, but it was a pale white and looked like it had been hit by a train. Looking at its face made Chelsea sick to her stomach. It had hollow black eyes that were sunken into its skull. It seemed to be completely hairless. The creature's spine looked like it was trying to escape the skin it was trapped under. Razor sharp claws lay where fingers should be on the creature.
It took every ounce of will in Chelsea's body not to scream to the top of her lungs. She was afraid to say anything. The room was dead silent and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of their breathing. Her eyes stayed locked on the thing at the end of their bed.
They laid there for an hour in absolute terror before the creature moved. It walked on all fours, but slowly raised up to two legs. Chelsea felt like she was going to be sick. The thing looked even scarier walking like an actual human being. The creature walked over to Derek's side of the bed. She felt him shake in terror as she witnessed the thing bend down and sniff him. She was able to get a better glimpse of it now and saw the layers of long, razor sharp teeth. Her heart dropped and without knowing what else to do, she began sending up silent prayers.
The creature loomed over Derek for a few minutes. Suddenly without any warning, the creature reached out its claws and grabbed him. One of its claws hit Chelsea in the arm and she had to cup her hand over her mouth to keep herself from screaming to the top of her lungs. Derek was dragged off the bed and hit the floor hard. He screamed Chelsea's name as the creature continued to drag him all the way to the window. She watched as the creature opened the window pane and dragged her husband out the window.
Chelsea ran over to the window and saw the creature dragging her husband on their front lawn. He was fighting, trying to break free. The creature stopped moving for a second and turned around. It looked up at the window and just stared at her. Chelsea felt like those hollow eyes were draining every ounce of happiness out of her. Chelsea quickly moved out of sight of the window. After a minute she peaked back out the window to find nothing out there.
