The Tapping

I awake at 3 in the morning feeling dizzy, I look around only to see darkness everywhere.

I wondered why, I was usually a deep sleeper waking up at 9 to 11 in the morning but something felt off but I shrug it off thinking it was just a one time thing.

I awake in the morning still feeling sleepy as always.

I get the strength to get up and do a few stretches and go down to take a bath.

On my way to school I couldn't help but feel like I was being followed.

It all felt weird to me I have never felt this way before, I was scared.

No one was there but I felt it like someone was watching me.

I arrived to school still feeling sleepy and get in my classroom.

School was boring as always the day felt slow and the teacher walked it I was at the edge of falling in a slumber.

My eyes were falling I felt like I was gonna fall because we had to stand up to greet our Math teacher.

"Good Morning class." My teacher spoke.

Everyone replied with "Good Morning Sir" but I kept silent.

"Please sit, today we will continue are lessons about algebra".

It was a bore, I couldn't hold on any longer I fell asleep.

I suddenly open my eyes and I'm  in the woods.

In panic I look around but all I can see are trees.

I was blinded by darkness all I could hear were whispering all around me.

It was agonizing I felt trapped, I couldn't escape.

Suddenly I saw a dark figure coming closer.

I tried running away but I couldn't it was like I was paralyzed.

It was getting closer and as it reaches out its hand I hear a ring.

RING RING RING

I awake to the sound of the bell and the first thing I heard was "I'll see you next week class".

The day went fine after that, School ended and I arrived home to a surprise.

My parents were gone but they left a note at the fridge.

Hey buddy, Me and you Father will be going on a business trip for the weekend.I hope you don't mind at all.We left 500 on the counter to keep you stashed for the weekend.We will be back as soon as possible, love you <3 X O X O  -Mother and Father.

Great I'm stuck all alone for the weekend at least they left me some money.

Evening was coming so I decided to watch some T.V. before I go to bed.

Just boring shows, I didn't want any of it so I decided to go to bed.

I brushed my teeth, went upstairs, turned off the light and went to bed.

Just like that I fall asleep.

All was fine until I awake to a tapping.

I didn't know where it was coming from, I felt creeped out.

I open my door and notice that the tapping was downstairs.

I silently looked around for an object I can easily use as self defense.

To my avail I found a kitchen knife on the table.

I thought to myself "What could be on the other side of the door? A killer? A Burglar?".

I finally got the courage to check what was making that sound, With the knife in my hand I open the door getting ready for what I was about to encounter.

To my surprise nothing was there.

I was wondering what made that noise, but nothing.

Feeling even more scared I locked the door and came back up.

I got back into bed and I kept the knife nearby just to make sure.

A few minutes later I awake again to the same tapping noise.

I quickly  got up and checked where it came from this time.

I looked around  to find out it was in the bathroom.

At that moment I was really freaked out.

Maybe someone was hiding in there.

I got ready and with my courage I slammed the door open with the knife in my hand.

Nothing was there it was an empty bathroom.

I was really scared I closed the bathroom door and sprinted to my room.

I locked my room door too and hid under my blanket

I close my eyes and hope that the sound will be gone.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

I awake once again to the hearing of the noise.

I was terrified, it was 3 am in the morning and I am hearing these sounds.

As I get closer to the door I realize the tapping is coming from other side of the door.

I didn't want to open it, I go back to bed and hid under my blanket clutching it tightly.

It wouldn't stop

Tap! Tap! Tap! 

I just wanted it to end, Suddenly it all became silent.

I uncover myself to see in the darkness and turn on my phone light, nothing.

It became dead silent, I didn't want to look in fear that someone or something might be on the other side.

Suddenly I heard scratching from the windows.

I did the same thing hoping it would stop, It didn't.

I had no choice I had to check.

As I go close the scratching only became louder and louder.

I get ready and I open the curtains and check outside with my phone light.

I look around for a few seconds and see nothing.

I take a deep breath in relief.

As I turn around I see dark figure sprinting close to me.

The last thing I saw was it red glowing eyes...

It's been days since  disappearance of  a boy in Southpark st. on July 19 , 2015.
