Jessica Hamment and her brothers, Michael and Christian, shared a bantam house in the

forest just outside a small village. They preferred it that way to live a nice quite life without any

disturbances. The village contemplated it was unsafe because if they were ever in danger they

couldn't

reach the Hamments in time, but they didn't care they didn't think anything could happen if they

lived such simple life's. As simple as learning how to breathe .

It was a warm summer’s night when Jessica just couldn't sleep. She sat up in bed

watching the clouds drift over the crater covered moon. But still sleep wouldn't come so easy.

Suddenly something caught her eye. She saw two big yellowish-green lights moving through the

woods near the town graveyard at the bottom of the hill. The figure looked like a short man but

had a sort of a dragging limp. It didn't stand straight it hunched over.

Soon the creature lost interest in the graveyard and started toward the hill to the house. Jessica

lost sight of it . She had fallen into a trapdoor of confusion and panic. She knew she was being a

tad bit silly. She looked around her room and out the window hopping that whatever she had

seen was just a figment of her Imagination. She was just about to lay back down when all of a

sudden she saw the creature cutting across the lawn straight towards her window. Her insides

twisted with something of fear and her chest tightened and her heart rate began to increase.

She could hear the bump, bump, bump of her heart ringing in her ears.

She wanted to run from her room and scream for her brothers but she couldn't get herself to

move. The door was right next to her window. When the creature finally turned in another

direction she dashed toward but before she could open it, the creature was back. Jessica found

herself staring at a creature like no other, it had short pointed teeth and a shrunken face and to

little slits it its skin for a nose its eyes were its biggest feature. Its yellowish-green eyes look like

a cats eyes when you shine a light at them. Her voice was lost somewhere inside of her she

couldn't scream she was to terrified the creature seemed to be smiling at her.

The creature broke the window glass and unlocked the window and crept inside. Jessica tried to

flee but the creature latched on to her! It seized the back of her head and pulled its bony fingers

through her beautiful brilliant black hair, pulled back her head and sank its short pointed teeth

into her throat. The neck seared with pain as she crouched in the far corner of her bedroom.

Jessica ripped away and clenched her neck and felt some of the creatures pointed teeth etched in

her skin. Jessica found part of her voice and made a scream like no other come from her

punctured throat. Her brothers heard her piercing scream and scrambled in confusion toward her

room. Jessica lay on the floor her neck gushing out blood still snatching out some of the creatures

teeth embedded deep into her skin.While Michael tried to help her, Christian chased the creature

toward the village and lost sight of it. The next morning Michael and Christian insisted that they

move somewhere else but Jessica said that the creature would never return. They looked at her in

worry. Just to be safe Christian and Michael kept loaded pistols by there bed sides just incase

any other emergency might come up. For the next couple of months Jessica lived her life like

normal but each night where the creature bit her it stung horrible and sometimes even started

bleeding.

One night months and months later Jessica felt a drop of warm water fall on to her cheek.

She tried and rubbed some sleepiness from her eyes and by doing so she rubbed in the water. She

sat up and looked around the room. She shut her eyes and lie down and opened her eyes again to

see a body hanging from her ceiling fan. She screamed and something grabbed her and threw her

into the wall knocking her out. Her brothers came just in time when the creature was dragging

itself toward Jessica. The creature charged at Michael and bit his fingers off Just as he went to

fire the trigger, so he dropped the pistol. It happened so fast that Christian didn't even know what

was happening. He darted at the creature it jumped out the window sending shards of d

dangerously pointed pieces of glass flying everywhere. Christian Jumped out of the window

following the creature down the hill towards the Graveyard. Christian fired and shot the creature

right in its arm, no blood came out. But the creature scrambled over the Graveyard wall and went

into an old burial vault.Christian and Jessica called the police. When they arrived they removed

the body and told the Hamments to go into the village and sleep at the Inn.

The next day, Jessica and her brothers watched the graveyard keeper open up the old

vault. Inside was a horrific sight, It smelt of a thousand dead corpses’. Broken coffins and , bones

and rotting piece of human flesh were strewn all over the floor. Only one coffin had not been

disturbed. The graveyard keeper opened the coffin to reveal the creature with the bullet hole in

its arm. Just to make sure that the creature would never come back the graveyard keeper made a

blazing fire and fed the creatures shrunken face into the flames. They watched the body till it

was just ashes. After that the Hamments now live in North Lauderdale, Florida were they have

lived there life's without any creatures roaming around.

This story was well put together in a neat fashion, used descriptive word choice, used many useful adjectives describing the events, and i enjoyed reading it.

This story was good, but it could use more dialouge. It was put together well, and i felt i was actually there. I like when you said the creature bit his fingers just as he was going to shoot the pistol. It was detailed nicely as well.
nice work, i enjoyed your story, it scared me!!

You used good adjectives to express things like the fire and it was pretty spooky.
