REVISE AND PUBLISH Paxton

All of a sudden I was running away from a tall slender figure in the shadows. Out of nowhere, I stepped on something that cut my toe. I looked down to see a long piece of glass deep into my toe I couldn’t pull it out. Then I knew I had to hide or I wouldn’t make it out of the basement alive. I didn’t know where my little brother was cause I lost him in the shadows.

Then I wake up to realize it is just a dream. I can’t go to bed so I get up to go get a cup of milk. It was really cold but it was good. I’m so cold because my little brother likes to have the window open. When I get back in my room my brother’s bed is empty I look out the window and he’s talking to a guy.

It’s so weird because it’s only 5:00 am and the rest of the family is asleep. I wonder how long he’s been out there. Then the man grabs him and tries to get him into his car. I yell to my parents but they were sound asleep so I ran to the garage. I got a wooden board and ran outside the man was still there wrestling my brother. I brake the board over the guy’s head and then I realize the man I one of his really tall friends.

They were just trying to sneak out of the house. I feel really bad so I come with them because they don’t have a driver’s license. They want to go to his house and play games so I drive them there. When we get there we have to sneak into the window we end up texting our friends from school.

I text my friend Johnathan he calls me east but my real name is Easton. I know its a weird name but I like it. When it’s sunrise I have to take my brother home.
When we get home we go through the window and get back in bed to act like where asleep. Mom comes in the room wakes us up and tells us about her dream. She says that in it we got kidnapped. we look at each other with that face that is like what if she knows but she doesn’t want to tell us to see if we would tell the truth.

We tell her that we stayed in bed the whole day. She leaves and we quickly go to bed because we were up all night texting our friends. We are both asleep in a matter of two seconds. No dreams just darkness. And quietness. I love having no distractions once and awhile it feels good.

I tossed and turned I couldn’t get comfy for some reason all I could think about was my dream last night I had three questions on my mind. Where was I and why where me and my brother down there and who was that tall slender man? I couldn’t sleep but then my head just sank into my pillow then I fell asleep.

Then I woke up to see that my mom was staring at me and my brother. She had figured out that we had snuck out. Cause she saw a piece of my brothers PJs stuck on the window. He looked down and saw a hole in his PJs he quickly tucked his legs under the covers. While he was under the blankets he changed into different clothes.

Earlier in the day, he told me how he had a dream about how he was being chased. Then I remembered I was getting chased in my dream too but what if it wasn’t a dream. And we really did get chased I quickly go to our room. I look out the window and see that the board from last night is gone. My brother was in the room now too. He starts to look at me then he grabs me his eyes turn black and he bites me.

Then his eyes turn normal he looks at my torn arm and says what happened. Now I’m freaked out what if I was running from my brother with another kid. Maybe he is possessed by something that we cant see I decide to get my rope and tie his arm to the bunk bed. His eyes turn black then he hits me all of a sudden he screams help my mom comes dashing in the room he hits her with a bat.

Then his eyes turned normal and I smack him in the side of his head. Then some black thing comes out of his mouth. It was in the shape of a human. we were so scared. but my little brother is brave. then with a swing and a yelp we were thrown across the room. I get smashed against the side of the bunk bed. and my little brother gets thrown into our dresser. now he is knocked out cold.

the black is now flying through the window. I crawl over to my little brother to make sure he is okay. I roll him over so I can see his face his whole face is covered with blood. I decide to call an ambulance. but they wouldn’t belive me if I told them that it was a slender black figure. so I tell them that it was a robbery.

then when they see my brother and my mom they get there strecher. because they both need to go to the emergency room. when we get there they tell me to grab a seat and wait a little while. till they figure out the plan I look in the mirror and see the black thing behind me. I turn around but there is nothing there I must be dreaming.

the doctors come out of the room and tell me that I have to stay the night. but I have seen a lot of horror movies that have taken place in a hospital so I am kind of scared. the night goes fast but it was still scary. when mom and my brother woke up we all went home. none of them remember what happened.

I guess it’s for the best when we get home it’s time for bed. thirty minutes before bed the black thing is back I tell them that it attacked us. we all grab a bat we swing and hit it but it does nothing. so we grab a vacuum we all turn it on and it sucks the black figure up. we put the vacuum in a box with chains around it. then the next morning we drive to a lake and throw the box. it’s really heavy so it sinks fast then we go home we are all so tired from lifting the heavy case so we decide to take a nap.
