Come Out and Play

ElectricCiruclover: I kinda like this one. I've used this little story before but I wanted to write about it again. ^^

Enjoy.

It was nighttime in the Kewena and Petals house hold. Angel was tucking her sons to bed in their triple bunk bed. Stitchie and Andy were already tucked into bed while the little black Stitch-like born Experiment waited to be tucked in by his mother.

Shadow smiled has his mother tucked him into bed and kissed him on his forehead.

"Good night, Shadow. Have sweet dreams," Angel said, leaving the room.

"Night mommy," Shadow said happily, setting Mom next to his head.

Shadow's mother left the room and closed the door after turning out the light. The room was dark but the only illumination was a small lava lamp sitting on the desk next to a little stereo.

The black b-x stared at his closet door next to his bed at the foot. Toys were stacked in the closet but what scared him was the big inflatable punching bag clown sitting on the pile. It bothered him to look at it. Shadow wasn't just afraid of the dark he also had a deep fear of clowns.

He closed his eyes and tried to sleep but he kept thinking the clown in the closet was going to eat him. Shadow started to shake as he closed his eyes and moved to the side facing the window.

"…Shadow…." A small voice whispered in the room.

Shadow began shaking and kept his eyes closed, "You're not real. I'm hearing things again," he said pressing Mom against his right ear.

"…Shadow…Come out and play…" the small voice whispered.

The born Experiment opened his eyes and hopped off the bed, running to the door to the leaving the room.

Shadow couldn't open the door and the voice whispered his name again but the voice was coming from the closet.

"Mommy! Mommy! Please come back! The clown is going to eat me! Mommy!" Shadow screamed, banging on the door.

"…Come out and play, Shadow. We want to play with you…" the voice whispered.

Something made a noise in the closet and fell out of the pile of toys.

Shadow started crying as he looked at the small clown that fell out of the closet. It was a small as Mom and seeing it moving gave him a morbid feeling of terror in his heart. He banged on the door some more, hoping his mother would come back.

The small clown being got up on his feet and its eyes were glowing yellow. It had white paint on its face with a rounded red paint surrounding its smile. Blue stars panted around the clown's right eye with smaller stars going up and disappearing under its jester-like hat that was black and red with yellow and fluffy balls on the tips. It was dressed in a baggy clown clothes with bright red and blue stripes going up its body. His shoes were long and red and his ears were pointy like an elf.

"Come out and play Shadow. We want to play with you," the clown said, standing in front of the closet.

"Mommy! Please come back! There is a evil clown in my room! He's going to eat me!"

"Don't be afraid. We want to play with you," it laughed, extending its arms with its Micky Mouse gloves getting closer to Shadow.

Shadow continued to bang on the door, letting out tears because he couldn't be heard by his parents.

The clown grabbed Shadow's feet and began pulling him as he walked back of the closet. Shadow's claws were leaving deep cuts into the wood floor as he was being pulled into the closet.

"Come out and play, Shadow. We want to play with you," the clown said disappearing into the pile of toys.

"Shadow screamed as he was being pulled into the closet.

He was pulled inside the closet and the door closed on him.

Everything went dark.

Shadow opened his eyes and saw the sunlight shining through his window next to his bed, which was opened.

"It was only a bad dream," he said to himself, feeling better.

He turned to the right, and saw a pair of eyes staring at him. The inflatable clown from the closet was laying down in his bed on. Shadow screamed and jumped out the opened window and ran from home, scared to see this toy he hated in front of him out of random.
