Dark

It is dark, the moon is at it's peak. It is a full moon and it's light shone all around. Tobi is in his room catching up on some homework, and the new chic that just got into his school, when he thinks he hears something. It sounds like..., he is not sure. He continues his homework, he decides to check up on it later. And then he hears it again, there is a rustle and then a click. Almost like someone stepped into his house, and now he is scared. He turns on his flash light as there aren't  any lights on at the moment and then he goes down the stairs. He starts checking the rooms one at a time to see if anyone was in. He is home alone or did I forget to mention that? His parents are away on a very important event and he is an only child. He goes to the kitchen, the sitting room. And just as he is about to open the day to the next room, he hears a sound behind him. Like a snarl, like a growl, like an animal. And then he turns and sees nothing. Then he thinks he's just being paranoid, it's probably just all the horrors he has been watching these days. He moves forward and then he hears footsteps behind him and then he turns back again, and he saw it. The Creature! There is no clear description of it in his mind, it isn't human and it looks nothing like he has ever seen before. It doesn't even look like an horror movie character. He is terrified! But he can't do anything. He can't move, he can't attack, he can't run, he can't even scream. He is paralyzed with fear. And then it moves forward and forward and then it stops right in front of him. It brings his face close to  Tobi's, he can feel it's breath on his face. He knows there is nothing he can do to avoid death today and so he closes his eyes and waits for it. And just then a gust of wind blows against his face and he opens his eyes and sees nothing. He checks around and there is no sign it was ever there. He starts questioning himself. He just thinks to himself that he is really getting paranoid. He goes up to his room to finish up what he was doing. Little did Tobi know that was just the beginning.
