The wind howled, sweeping the clouds across the low gray sky. The moon hung low over the tall scrawny trees. Meloney pulled herself through the woods on the side of her house. There was a growl. A low growl. A snap of a twig. A flash of white. Meloney ran through the jagged under brush, ducking under low branches and sweeping around tree trunks. She could hear the harsh panting behind her. She looked over her shoulder. Meloney could have sworn the creature had glowing red eyes and crimson stained teeth. The creature launched, missing Meloney by less then inches. Meloney broke through the edge of the forest. Another growl. A low growl. A snap of a twig a flash of white. A launch.
“Ahhh”! Screamed Meloney. Meloney just woke up from the world’s most terrifying nightmare ever. Her parents came barging in, “What happened?!” They said at the same time. “I d-d-d- don’t know” Stuttered Meloney “Of course you know. You’re the one who yelled!” Scolded Meloney’s mom. “Meloney, just tell us what happened.” Meloney’s dad said soothingly. Clearly her dad is nicer than her mom. Shouldn’t her mom be nicer than her dad? I mean she’s a mom, right? But whoa-hoa not this family it’s all upside-down and back-words. “See this is why I’m a daddy’s girl. Because you always yell at me!” Screamed Meloney with tears in her eyes. Then Meloney pushed her parents out of her room and slammed the door. “Told you our daughter isn’t a morning person” Meloney’s mom told her dad. Meloney sat her sweaty self on her sweaty bed in her now sweaty room. She looked up at the moon then it went behind some clouds or so she thought until she felt claws on her back and hot breath down her back. It was the creature from her dream.
