Alan awoke to his mother shaking him and whispering “Come on Alan, its time for school.” Alan said in a tired and quiet voice, “What are you talking about, school starts in 3 days.” Alan’s mother laughed and said, “You silly goose, 4th grade doesn’t get delayed just because you don’t want to get out of bed. Come on, I made cinnamon buns for you.” Alan was excited by the thought of cinnamon buns. So he got up drowsily and walked out the door, downstairs to the kitchen and ate breakfast. It was a tradition to get a picture taken before the first day, so he got his paper that had the words “First day of 4th grade!” printed on it. Alan thought this was pointless and stupid but his mother wouldn’t let him do anything unless he took the picture. Alan’s mother snapped the picture and said, “get in the car honey, its time to go.” So, Alan got into the car and his mom followed, put his seatbelt on, and his mother started to drive. Alan’s day went pretty good, he met some new friends, he thought his teachers were nice, and was excited that his bestfriend Harold, was in his class. He came outside and waited for his mother. In about 10 minutes his mother arrived, she came up to him and smiled, saying, “How was the first day honey?” Alan replied, “Great! Harold is in my class also!” Alan had a wide smile on his face. “That’s great honey.” Said his mother. “Lets go home now so we can get started on homework.” In the car, Alan talked about how much homework he had to do, insisting since he is older now he has more. His mother just replied in a happy manner every time and laughed. When they got home, Alan got right to it. He started his homework and when he finished, he was overly tired like he was in the morning. Since he finished his homework, he was allowed to play video games. Alan went to the video game drawer and got is Nintendo DS out with Sonic 3 inside and started playing. He was playing for a good hour when he heard his mom knock on the door to his room. “Come in!” Alan said, in a friendly tone. His mother had tears running out of her eyes. Her makeup was drooling down her face from her eyelids, while she said “Uncle John was in a car accident, we don’t know if he is going to be okay, but we need to go to the hospital for a few hours.” Alan was shocked; he never experienced any family tragedies or especially death in his life. Alan wanted to stay home; he didn’t want to see his uncle in that position. Alan asked his mom, “I know that Uncle John needs our support, but can I stay home? I really don’t like seeing people in pain especially someone that I know and love.” Alan’s mom hesitated for a few seconds, but then said no. Alan really did not want to see his uncle in that position, so he asked his mother, “Do you think that we could ask Madison to watch me while you are at the hospital?” Madison was Alan’s neighbor across the street and she was about 16 years old. Alan’s mother did agree with Alan, she did not want Alan to go through something like this, especially at his age. So she agreed with him. She put on her jacket and struggled to pull the zipper up, probably because she was shaking. She opened the door and walked out. I watched her out the window and saw her knock on the door. Madison’s mother, who Alan thought her name was Lisa, answered the door and smiled. Then she looked as if she was scared for Alan’s mother, insisting that she got the news about Alan’s uncle. She smiled after around 30 seconds and closed the door really quickly. She came back around 2 minutes later, still had a smile on her face said a few words, and then closed the door. His mother turned around, and started back towards Alan’s house. She came back inside and told Alan that Madison will be watching him tonight. Alan smiled and said, “Ok thank you for asking. When are you leaving to the hospital?” his mother replied, “In around 2 minutes, Madison should be over soon.” 5 minutes passed and then Alan heard a knock on the door. His mother answered it and surely enough Madison was standing outside. She greeted Alan’s mother and his mother greeted her back. They discussed payment and things to know about Alan. Luckily, Madison and Alan are friends, so Alan thought to himself, this night should go good. When Alan’s mother was done, she came back to Alan, and nervously gave him a kiss on the head. She said, “I will be back tomorrow. Madison will stay with you tonight. If you have any problems remember to call me.” Alan was honestly scared that his mother was leaving for the whole night because this was the longest time he has been separated from her, but he knew Madison should take care of everything. Alan’s mother said one last goodbye, and then went out the door. Alan watched her car leave. He turned around to Madison, and she said, “Hi Alan, your mother probably told you that I will be watching you for the night.” Alan replied in a nice tone, “Yes I know. Thank you for watching me on such short notice, I just really don’t want to see my relatives in such a bad position.” “It is fine! Believe me, I didn’t have plans for tonight anyways.” Madison said cheerfully. “So what do you want for dinner tonight bud?” Alan replied and said, “Can I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?” “Sure! Why don’t you go up to your room and play that DS of yours.” Alan nodded and said “Thank you.” He noticed that it was starting to get dark out, and looked at the sunset over the trees in his backyard…. 4 minutes passed and Alan started wondering when his food was going to be ready. He called out to Madison and nobody answered. He waited another 2 minutes and then he started to lose his patience. He walked out his room and went to the kitchen. Nobody was there. Now more worried he called out “Madison where are you? Are you in the bathroom?” Nobody answered. Alan started to look around his house and nothing at all seemed out of the ordinary. Then when he checked the living room for the second time, extremely worried now, he looked up at the catholic cross above the T.V. It was turned upside down. It looked like it was turned on purpose. Alan knew that his mother didn’t do it because when she left he started watching the T.V. and it was right side up. Alan didn’t know what this meant and kept searching. Alan was frantic now; he was frantically looking around the house now, practically running. It was almost pitch black out now so he couldn’t go outside and check on Madison’s house. When he finally gave up. He ran into his room, crying from fear into his pillow. He had never been abandoned before. Then after a good 5 minutes, Alan started to calm down. He was still scared out of his mind, but he just sat in bed. He waited, hoping to hear the front door open and Madison call out that she had to go across the street for something, but nothing happened. Suddenly Alan heard a rustle from outside in the bushes. He looked out his window and since it was pitch black, he could barely see the outline of somebody digging into one of his bushes. He heard a slight sound so Alan opened his window to hear. What he heard was a terrifying laughing sound. He knew it had to be Madison, probably looking for something she dropped from his window probably. Alan said in a low but scared voice, “Ma- Madison..?” The person digging into the bush stopped completely. It just sat there looking into the bushes for 10 seconds. Then it turned around. What Alan saw, was by far the most horrific thing he has ever seen. It had straight black hair. Its eyes looked like they were bleeding, the pupil was black and the outer was bloodshot red, its skin was completely pale white, and the most terrifying thing about it was its smile. It had the most menacing laugh and it just looked at Alan for a good 10 seconds, smiling. Alan was horrified and almost vomited by the sight. He was so terrified he couldn’t move, it was almost as if he was paralyzed. Then the thing, started to get up. It laughed and said in a extremely creepy voice, “Better hide Alan, I’m coming in to look for you.” She laughed once more then screamed at the top of her lungs. Alan didn’t know what to do he just stood there. After realizing that something was banging on the door, he ran to his light, turned it off and basically jumped to the ground as he heard the door burst open. He crawled directly under his bed and waited. He heard the sound of singing in the kitchen under him. The thing was singing ring around the Rosie in a menacing creepy voice. Alan heard the thing open a cabinet and then the thing screeched at the top of its lungs again. Alan was crying hysterically under his bed, praying that the thing wouldn’t come check there. After 10 seconds the thing stopped screeching and returned to sing. He heard the sound of a knife scratching against the wall now, it was getting closer. Alan’s house is 3 floors. His room is on the second floor. He heard the thing carving writing into the walls with probably the same knife it used on the first floor. Alan couldn’t stop crying of terror. Once the thing started to stop singing. It called out, “Oh Alannnn! Come out so I can show why knives are dangerous! I am going to have to teach you the lesson I taught Harold!” Alan kept still, not making a single noise. Suddenly out of nowhere, it got pitch silent. As if nothing was wrong. Then he heard large thumps, and they got faster and faster! It was coming directly towards Alan’s room! Alan let out a petrified shriek. He got out from under the bed and then the door burst open. The thing had Alan cornered. Its neck was mutating in different terrifying forms as it approached Alan. It took out its knife and started cutting its hands, making blood gush out if it violently. Alan was still shrieking of terror. Then the monster stopped and said in a joyful voice, “Since I’m nice, ill give you a head start.” She then ran out of the room and upstairs to where you couldn’t hear anything from it anymore. Alan ran for his life downstairs. He grabbed the phone.. and.. it was broken. The numbers 9-1-1 had smiley faces engraved in them, and Alan didn’t know what to do. The thing started to come down the stairs, blocking the door. Alan turned right and for a split second he saw what the thing engraved in the wall. “Grade 4- The End”. Then Alan turned around and right in front of him, the monster was looking right into his face. The thing’s bloodshot eyes looking straight into Alan’s. Alan then looked down to see that a knife was injected into his stomach. It was over for Alan, but before the thing left, he felt the engravings in his stomach.
