Chapter 17: Scared of the Dark
I'm sorry. I know I said I would make three chapters for the fire, but I could not figure out what to write for it. Hope you like this chapter.
Jayden was put to bed. He fell asleep quickly. He dreamt of fire trucks. He slept like a baby. He was only five. He was super happy.
He woke up because he had to pee. He looked around and it was dark. He didn't like all the shadows. The shadows started moving. It looked like they were coming towards him. He whimpered and threw the covers over his head. He started crying.
Jayden peeked out of the covers. There was this huge werewolf shadow that moved closer to him. He shrieked and covered himself again.
Suddenly the lights were on. Jayden looked up and saw his worried father at his door. He ran to Jayden and picked him up. Jayden snuggled close to him and sobbed.
"Hey, Jayden, what's wrong?" asked James.
"I got scared because it was dark," said Jayden," Are you mad at me?"
"No, Jayden, I'm not mad. Everyone gets scared," said James, reassuringly.
"You aren't scared of anything!" Jayden said, and he pouted. It was adorable.
James smiled softly and said," I got scared tonight."
"Why?" asked Jayden, and he cocked his head.
"I thought you were hurt," said James.
"I'm still scared, Daddy," said Jayden.
"Do you want to sleep in my room?" asked James.
"Yes," said Jayden. James chuckled and took Jayden to his room.
He wrote on a piece of paper:
To Do List:
Take Jayden to get nightlight
Check Jayden's room for monsters before bed
Get Jayden a new toy
