There's a saying in our town that a creak in the attic should always be forgotten,locked away from all prying eyes .Deep in sleep as I lay in my bed the blankets covering my body completely but I staggered slightly in my sleep .I woke up in a cold sweat in the dead of night maybe from a nightmare but the next thing I knew was I heard something up in the attic .

I tried to go back to sleep but it seemed like I wasn't able to the occasional sound of the rustling leaves and the constant whooshing of my bedroom curtains tickled my ears depriving me of my sleep .But something caught my eye a distant moving shadow outside my bedroom that seemed very curious but still very scary for me .

I lay back in bed clearly scared but my curiosity only fueled the fire that burned in my mind .After a battle that seemed like a lifetime in my head ended I threw away my blankets and got off bed jumping to the floor .The creak scared me slightly but I was of course able to get out my room .And as if the galaxy had set the sound of footsteps in the attic were like a beacon calling ng out to me .

Without a thought I got out my room carefully and steadily my heart beating fast in my chest .How I was able to get inside the attic don't ask me but I did .My eyes pierced into the dimly lit room only the moonlight lightning the room up .

I glanced around the room for anything unusual but my eyes landed on a doll that lay in a corner lifeless.I crawled over to it and picked it up . Nothing happened which left me stunned because people mostly get scared and this is where it becomes alive and kills me .I let out an awkward laugh and let the doll rest where it lay clearly I wasn't scared so I left it there.

I walk out the attic closing the door and head to my room plopping to my bed.Sleep immediately took over and I didn't bother to wrap myself in a blanket .For a moment the wind stopped rustling and everything went silent lulling me even more to sleep .The only sound that could be heard was my soft breathing and constant shifting of my body on the bed .

But something in the attic still didn't sit right with me even in my sleep .Footsteps grew more and the came closer and closer till they were outside my room .I heard my door slowly creak open but I was deep in sleep so I didn't wake up .The heavy breathing of someone on my face came closer and closer .I slowly fluttered my eyes open to the dark adjusting them to the dark .

A dark grim sarcastic smile met my face and the blood red eyes digged deep into mine scaring me out of my wit and I wasn't able to move out of my bed

I squinted my eyes into the darkness of my room,only to be greeted back with the two faintly glowing blood red eyes.My breath hitched in my throat for a split second I forgot how to breathe .I gathered all the courage I had in my body and sat up straight on my bed.The dark figure crept close to my bed not retreating and my bedroom floor creaked in respons to it's footsteps.

A cold chill run down my spine as my hands shivered beneath my bed covers."Who are you ?"I manage to speak out my sound barely above a whisper my voice cracking .The dark figure stood dead in it's tracks in which I expected an escape or an attack but the figure chuckled leaving me buffled.I got off my bed angry .

With the speed of light the figure quickly came up behind me and gripped both my hands with it's strength pinning me to the floor beneath it .I landed on the floor with a loud thud and let out a grunt in pain .As I adjusted my eyes to the moonlight that dimly lit my room ,my eyes landed on the dark figure that was above me only to find out it was a freaking girl .

"What the hell?"I say out loud wondering who she was her long black hair with tips of white drapped on her shoulders her blood red eyes perfect for her cold stoic expressionless face .I shake my head to stop my mind from admiring her but to get to the bottom of where she came from or who she was.

"Your probably wondering who I am Josh aren't you ?"She speaks up her voice cold and emotionless and sends another shiver down my spine my mind spiralling around with questions of her origins but I master up enough courage to say a word.

How do u know my name and why are you here?"I squek out but I can feel her grip on my hands tighten around my wrists and I flinch slightly in pain waiting for her response.She stays quiet but speaks up after a slight moment of silence still with her cold didistsant voice .

"I'm Adelaide the doll that stays up in your attic."She responds and stay quiet for a moment before a laugh escapes my mouth but she tightens her grip more on me,"Oww try being gentle and how do u expect me to believe yourthe doll that lives up in my attic real funny isn't it Adelaide or whatever your name is."

I respond back but the atmosphere changes slightly to a darkening and almost killing aura almost suffocating.

I look up at her and notice her eyes redder than ever and I feel more and more scared as she gazes back at me almost like a killing intent and I feel myself more like the prey and her as the apex predator
