A.N.: Thanx 4 all the great reviews! Glad y'all like my story! Here's the
next chapter. Enjoy!
Flashback.
Lenore came running into her big brother's room.
"Brad! Brad!" She called softly as she shook him. "Brad! Wake up!"
"Huh? Wha?" Brad said, slowly beginning to wake up.
"Brad!" Lenore hissed.
Nine-year-old Brad sat up and stared down at his four-year-old sister.
"Hey Squirt. What's up?" He asked.
"There's a monster in my room!" Lenore cried, grabbing his hand. "You have to come scare him away."
"Whoa. Slow down a moment there, Kiddo," Brad replied lifting her into his lap. "How do you know there's a monster in there?"
Lenore looked up at him. "I heard him breathing!" She whispered seriously. "I heard him move too."
"You sure it wasn't just Dad snoring again?" Brad queried.
Lenore shook her head furiously. "Nuh-uh! It was the Boogie Man! Just like Randy said!"
"Randy?" Brad thought, casting an annoyed look at his sleeping seven- year-old brother. "Leave it to him to scare her before bedtime."
"I'm sure Randy was just kidding," he told her standing up. "C'mon. Let's go see if the monster's gone yet."
She held back. "But Brad!" She whined somewhat. "What if he's not?"
"Then I'll fend him off," Brad answered simply. "C'mon Squirt."
Lenore allowed him to take her hand and lead her back to her room down the hall. Once there, he left her standing in the doorway and proceeded to check everywhere for any monsters.
"Nope. No monsters," he declared after a few minutes. "All's clear."
Lenore cautiously made her way back into the room, then summing up her courage, ran and jumped onto her bed.
"Okay, all settled?" Brad wanted to know, once she'd stopped moving around.
"Yep," Lenore nodded.
Brad tucked her in, turned her night side lamp on, then began to leave. He'd just about gone out the door after turning off the overhead light when he heard a small voice.
"Brad?"
He turned back around. "Yeah Lenore?"
"Can.can you stay here?" She asked, her eyes huge and frightened.
Brad sighed, but made his way back to her bed anyway.
"Sure Squirt," he smiled climbing in next to her.
Lenore quickly snuggled up against him, and fell asleep feeling safer than before, because she knew her big brother wouldn't let any monster hurt her.
End of Flashback.
