It started off as any normal day, my family bought a farm in the country a few months ago. It was a perfect home! A great yard, but the problem was... The forest in the back. I would always feel like something is out there, just standing at my window. but I can't see it. But one day my curiosity got the best of me, I opened it up at night. Looking down at the pure black forest in front of me.
The sight made my stomach tickle as if I wasn't supposed to be looking at it at this time of night. The forest was black, I could've sworn I saw red dots. But before I saw it, I closed the door and turned on my computer, staring at the "Windows 7" Loading screen that comes up. I decided to play some Minecraft before checking out my thread I created about a month ago.
As usually, there's only 4 people online chatting about how they know me in real life, about my girlfriend and what not. It was just boring stuff. But then, A small "crack" sound came from outside and I mumble to myself.
"Let's go investigate! Dead." So I ignore it because I know the deadly situation I am in for is a twig snapping. I joke to myself, I know it's nothing. Well, I thought it was nothing. Until it grew louder as if it was getting closer to me, I open it up looking outside at the forest, then my spine began to tingle, my brain was shuddering and I felt weak as if I was trapped in sand.
With only my head making movement, I could see shadows between the fence gates. I shudder back into my bed, I then regained my sanity and ran up slamming the window and locking it. I stare outside before going back to the computer; sweat dripping down my cheek, my hands and legs are shaking like I'm knee deep in snow freezing. Then someone new joined... his name was "OutsideyourwindowxD".
I shudder back in my chair, my friends laugh at his name. He doesn't respond for about 5 minutes, the first message was:
"I'm outsi--- your window, stare at me... ST--- AT ME!!!!!" it says in all caps, I forget it then ban him, but he won't leave and just keeps typing "I know you s--- me, I'm out for you :)". I shudder back once again, boosting out of my chair and grabbing the .22 off my wall, I aim outside and shout, "Get out of here you little punks! Stop trying to scare me!"
I scream loudly, then I get a reaction, something moves towards me, but on all fours. I don't want to shoot and have police arrive, so I just shut my window holding my .22 pistol by my side. It's strange, not knowing what is around me or inside me.
My computer screen is the only thing keeping dim light on me so I can barely see. I see a shadow pass under my door and I hide beneath my covers, holding my pistol and shaking like crazy. My mom enters the room and turns off my computer, then kisses me on the cheek, I know she loves me but then it happens to her, when she exits the room I hear rumbling and pushing, shoving, and scratching... Then a rip and a scream. Then silence...
I bolt out of my room while my dad busts open the door with his foot carrying a double barrel shotgun in his hands. I run downstairs to my mother bleeding on the fourth step, I look at the claw marks and the green slime like material leading to our attic.
I run over there "Dad! Attic! Monster! Climb!" are all the words I could think of quickly. I open it up and the smell of old plastic and the stench of a skunk fill my lungs. I look up there starting to climb up. I was always the adventurous type, especially with my girlfriend... If you know what I mean... But enough of that, I enter the attic looking around the dust filled room. The stench enters my nose and I almost go back down, but I know my dad is under me so I go up.
I grab an old flashlight that barely works. It looks like the old owners were as curious as us because an old flashlight was there aimed at what seems to be a nest, I grab it and turn it on before I drop it at what I see. Dead people are laying around a dome like area, they are all decayed with maggots and worms crawling through them. I almost puke but I don't want to make noise so I swallow what I could. My dad looks at it knowing he's seen far worse in the Iraq war.
I ready and aim my .22, walking towards the bodies of the people. I look inside as a monster pounces over me, my dad shoots it directly in the head while it comes back to me and pounces over me again, I grab its leg, it feels like a cats leg bone and skinny, I let it go holding my hand in disgust. I shoot through the people into the nest as I hear a scream then silence. I move the people that I can and I grab the beast by the ears, the police barge in and look at the mess the monster created.
It was taken to a lab to be analyzed, our house was quarantined and we moved to a house in the suburbs, so we know at least if something happened, we would have witnesses but... most of the kids there were weird... Almost like... Nah, nah... I say forget about it. As I sleep I can still hear my mom falling and the creature crying from the gunshot wounds...
"I need help.... I can't do this.... I have to kill m-" I shake my head looking at the gun in front of me. "IT MUST END!" I grab it aiming it to my head, I didn't do it... The warden of the jail cell looks at me: "Still happy you almost killed your mother?" He asks.
