Day 45
It was always at night that these activities would begin. For some reason Roderich would be asleep, but then randomly wake up just in time to experience the ghost and nightmares it brought. Though he still firmly believed the ghost did not do it on purpose. When certain nights aligned with its past, it was bound by some divine law to relive them again.
Roderich awoke just in time to hear a suspicious rattling sound, like a jostling lock. Then he suddenly heard screaming as Gilbert began to throw a fit, it was so late in the night he was worried what his neighbors would think.
Now the doors are slamming shut and shaking the house with the force of it. Screaming, wailing and running coursed up and down the halls before deafening him by barging into his room. The invisible ghost seizes the covers off Roderich and flings them to far corners of the room; next it pushes the whole mattress off the frame, with Roderich still on it! Even he cannot help but shout out in fear. Never had Gilbert made a direct attack on him before, he shook as he looked around desperately to tell where the spirit may be.
Then suddenly did things become still. The doors gently creaking open and back to their original resting positions and through the new silence Roderich could hear his own breathing. Feeling concerned, he stood silently and began to creep to his window; the closest exit and started to draw it open while it groaned in the process. While stick a leg out and making as though to sneak out, he notices something. A body running in the distance he believes he can identify. He gulps as realization dawn on him… The rattling sound from when he'd awoken…
Slowly he turned his head back; the mattress was floating and slowly hovered back to its place on the frame. The covers slid eerily from their places on the floor back over the bed almost perfectly; then folded back as though waiting for Roderich to come back. Slowly he did turn around, behind him the window shut and locked on its own, but Roderich seemed unperturbed as he slowly paced back to his bed and crawled in. He pulled the covers up and looked around wearily, more than a little shocked as everything sunk in.
He never would have thought the ghost would protect him again…
I don't care that its short. Read it and love it. .
Oh, and review. Kthnx.
