What there hiding from ch. 1

Th'ebby's return


Never wright a horror story at 2AM alone in the dark. Just don't.


"KK, honey why are you under all these blankets?" Elizabeth Hummel asked as she pulled the covers down off her 6 year old son's face "And why on earth do you have a flash light down there!" She watched as his tiny head stuck out from under the Everest of blankets "I'm hiding mommy!" He whispered fearfully before trying to pull the blankets back over him. He was stopped by Elizabeth's hand as she crouched and put her face close to Kurt's "Hiding from what KK?" He shimmed out a little bit more whispering a little louder "What THERE hiding from, I don't know what it i'th yet" he clutched his toy duck to his tiny chest and shut his eyes making himself impossibly smaller against his mothers body.

"Oh, KK, baby. There's nothing to be scared of! You don't even know what your hiding from! And if anything ever try's to hurt you just yell for daddy or mommy and we will keep you safe OK?" Kurt nodded slowly. Then looking up at his mother with fear in those big blue eyes he exclaimed "NO! Mommy you need to hide with me right now or it will get you! Th'ebby said so!" Elizabeth sucked in a breath. She new who Sebastian was. It started when Kurt was 4 and they had only just kicked it.

One night Kurt awoke them screaming about the boy hiding under his bead. They checked but found nothing, even though Kurt swore up and down that there was a boy just his age under there with blond hair and green eyes named Sebastian. Writing it of as an imaginary Friend, Burt and Elizabeth didn't worry. Until Kurt began to play with Sebastian during the day time to. They would often hear Kurt's little voice, lisp and all, say things like "OK now Th'ebby you be the bear and I will be the duck, OK?" Or in the very memorable, well more terrifying, instance "NO NO NO! That's NOT how you play! Put that down! That's not right! Th'ebby NO!" They had run up to the room to find stuffing everywhere and Kurt crying in the center still yelling about him not playing right. After a while this "Sebby" messed up more and more before eventually disappearing all together.

But Sebastian seemed to be back and that worried Elizabeth. She calmed her son down and he fell back asleep. Being very careful not to wake Kurt, Elizabeth began to tiptoe back down the hall to the master bedroom to talk to her husband about Sebastian's return. To bad she never made it.
