AN: So this is just a creepy little one shot that came into my mind at 1a.m., so of course I had to write it down. Enjoy:)
It's a peaceful night, nothing extraordinary. You follow your normal nighttime routine. You're in bed, snuggled up in your blankets. Today was especially tiring for you and you drift off into sleep in no time. But your dreams are haunted by a dark man. You can't see his face, but you can hear his voice as he laughs at your fear. You wake up in a cold sweat. Your heart is racing. You sit up in bed and comb you fingers through your hair to try and calm yourself down. Your eyes scan over your dark room. They stop at the corner just by your door. You swear there's a person standing there. Your heart stops. Is it just your imagination, or is the dark shadowy man from your dreams really here? You close your eyes tightly, and when you open them, the figure is gone. For a moment, you're relieved. But then, you notice your door.
Open.
Just a moment ago, it wasn't open. Your heart pounds as you reach over to turn on your lamp. You feel safer when the light floods your room. Your eyes linger on the spot where the figure was. You notice something on your wall, near by the spot. You slip out of bed to investigate. Neatly etched into your wall, are three simple letters.
I O U.
Your heart pounds even faster. Who would be playing such a horrible trick on you? You recognize the letters from your favorite show and know that unpleasant things usually follow.
You're about to go back into bed and try to fall asleep again, when a hand is clamped over your mouth, preventing any noise from getting out. Your captor bends down and presses his lips to your ear.
"I O U," his velvety voice whispers, sending chills up your spine. "I O U."
