I lay in bed, my two dogs and cat laying at my feet. I'm overwhelmed with fear that if I fall asleep, I might not wake up again. I've been laying here for over an hour not knowing why I feel like this. At least I have my fur babies to keep me company. I look down at my two dogs. The both of them look completely normal. My German shepherd and my other rat dog are cuddled up next to each other. I can feel my cat laying on my shoulder, not moving. He must be asleep. I'm still wondering why I feel so fearful... If there was anything to be scared of, my cat Bug would have woken up and run under the bed or Lillie and Sissy would have been barking by now. It must just be in my head. I close my eyes and lay my hand on Bug's back. I slowly fall asleep.

I wake up with a start. My heart is racing and the room feels like someone kicked the AC on high, but I'm sweating. I roll over on my side and look at the clock. It's only freaking two in the morning. I roll my eyes and roll back over on my side. I about fall out of bed when I see Bug, sitting up and staring at me with his green eyes glowing in the dark.

"Lord, Bug, really? It's two in the morning, go back to sleep."

I pick up my phone and shine it towards Bug to get a better look at him. He's sitting there, his shoulders are all hunched over and he's almost.... Smiling at me... I can see every tooth in his little mouth and his teeth seem to be longer and more yellow then they usually are. His head it cocked to one side. He just sits there, not moving and just stares at me. I pick his little butt up and throw him off the bed.

This must all be in my head; I mean I've had dreams like this before, but they usually cut off as soon as I see Bug. I need my dogs, they always calm me down. I sit up to wake up my two fur babies but nearly knock myself out by hitting my head on the head board when I shine my light at them. They're both sitting up and looking at me too. Their eyes are red and oozing a nasty thick black slime. They seem to be half snarling and half smiling at me, the same black slime dripping from their jaws. I kick the covers off of me and stand up, grabbing for the baseball bat I keep beside of my bed. Their heads follow me where I go. They won't take their eyes off me. I grab my bat and hold it up about to swing. I stand there for a few minutes and look at them, almost not able to hold the bat up. I drop to my knees and start to cry. After a few second I hear a scratch at my door. I see my cat's paw swipe under the door. Bug meows as I can hear my dogs whimpering. I look up at the fur creeps that I have been sleeping with all night. I hear a knock at the door.

"You forgot to let in the dogs and the cat, tweet! Be more careful next time and bring the animals in before you go to bed!" My mom calls through the door.

I look up confused at the door and back at my dogs. I stand up and pick up the demon cat that I threw on the floor and hold it under my arm, trying to ignore the black goo rolling out of its mouth and onto my arm. I open the door and I see my mom, my two normal dogs, and bug standing outside my door. My two normal dogs run off and my normal Bug arches his back and hisses. Mom covers her mouth. Demon bug and the hell hounds look up at my mom and smile wider. Mom doubled over and throws up. I'm not letting go of this cat, we have to get rid of these.... Things. I grab demon Bug around the neck with one hand and the big demon dog by her collar and drag her to the kitchen. Mom grabs the smaller one by her tail and drags her down the hallway. They don't make any noises, though, they just sit still and don't react. I go outside and drop the demon cat on the ground and step on his neck to keep him from getting away. Mom drags the little dog outside and drops her next to demon bug. She hands me my wooden baseball bat and runs and grabs my metal softball bat.

I first swing down my bat onto the bigger dog's head and I can hear a crack. Her head splits open and her brain oozes from the crack and crevices. Mom and I continue to beat the dogs until they're not recognizable anymore. I have broken the two dogs legs and broken there ribs. Skin has split open in parts and there innards protrude from the openings. The smell of death is all around me. I do not stop until I know the dogs have stopped moving completely and are dead. When I'm done with the dogs I pick up the cat and twist and pull his head until I hear a crack. I pull on his head until his spinal column breaks out from his skin and is visible. Blood runs down my hand and onto my arms, staining my night shirt. I drop the cat to the ground and he goes limp. Mom and I start to cry and we both hug each other. Mom starts bawling and she drops to her knees. I help her back up and we walk in the house. The sun is starting to come up, it's almost time for us to go to work. I send mom to the shower and I go back to my room to change. It seems awfully quiet though. I walk back out to the kitchen and look at the back porch where the broken and mangled bodies of the demons lay at the door. I turn around and call for my dogs. There's no answer. I look around the whole house for them, with no response. I start to panic. I run back to the back door and look outside to look at the bodies. I drop to my knees and start to bawl. The three demon animals are sitting at the door with the biggest smiles on their faces, their eyes pitch black and now oozing blood. The bodies of my beloved pets lay in a mangled heap behind the demons.

How did I do!?
