Alone And Afraid: Part II
Just as Aerith saw the shadow she blinked and saw that it had disappeared.
It was just my eyes messing with me, that's all…
Even though Aerith was trying to assure herself that it was just her mind playing tricks she couldn't help but notice the fear inside of her that was quickly snowballing. Still, despite that fear, she decided the best thing to do was to get some rest. She curled up in the center of the bed, her thick blanket tucked underneath her feet, a tactic to keep something from grabbing her.
Although she was still nervous, she closed her eyes anyway. After all, ghost weren't real.
After a few minutes, Aerith's worry faded.
It was just my mind playing tricks
But as soon as she felt she was asleep she heard the stuff scooting around down stairs. Aerith sat up again and looked around the room. She wasn't one to let her curiosity get the best of her, but, she had to see what it was.
She took out a flashlight in the dresser besides her bed and walked to the door. She slowly peeked out of the door, seeing the coast was clear. Just as she was about to leave she heard loud, heavy steps walking up the stairs, heading straight towards her bedroom.
She jumped back into bed and hid under the covers nervously as she awaited the sound to enter her room.
