Falling
" Damon!" I whispered… god dam it I cannot see a bloody thing! I reached for the light at the top of the stairs…. No luck, of course! Oh I really don't want to go down here.
" Damon!" I said louder.
Still no reply. What the hell is he doing? Thump, thump I heard coming from the kitchen again. Shit! I started to walk down the stairs. The footsteps were getting closer and closer to the basement door. In the moment that I heard the squeaking of the door, I knew that I was in some sort of danger. So I ran down the stairs, and tripped over the loose board sticking out between one of the steps. I fell down hard and hit my head on the metal pole near the middle of the room. Ow….. I clenched my head, and notice the blood on my hand when I brought it back down again. I was very dizzy, and everything in the room looked like it was doubled. I looked and felt around the room for something that could help me up.
" Damon" I called out but it sounded like a distant breeze.
I couldn't find anything to support me, so I leaned against the pole and tried to get up that way. As soon as I got up I tried to work my way to the stairs. I walked about two steps and then fell to the ground again. I was so dizzy, and it was hard enough to see in the dark before. I started to crawl towards what I thought was the stairs when I noticed a tall dark figure standing between me and the stairs. The shadowy figure started to make its way towards me. No! I thought but didn't have the strength to say it out loud. I was so tired, and I could feel it taking control of me. I cant fall asleep I told myself over and over again. The last thing I remembered was the blood dripping down my head onto my arm.
