A faint glow of the moon glistens in my eyes as I fall into my bed, pulling up my covers. I can’t sleep, my stomach is doing summersaults, twisting all around. I feel eyes on me, but it’s only me. I start to drift into sleep. Everything goes black until exactly 1:31 am. I hear footsteps outside my window. But suddenly, shattered glass from the window falls on my face as I hear a loud crashing sound. My head spins around, and my voice breaks, as I try to yell. At this moment a dark shadow jumps from my window. I swallow only to taste blood. My heart pounds against my chest and ceases into a faint humming sound. I look up from my bed but it’s all a blur I can’t see my feet, I can’t see anything, all I see is light, I feel a hand grasp my head, and then, one flash of blood makes it all stop
