*Melody's Pov*

It was another sleepless night here in this dirty old motel. The boys were already asleep leaving me left in my thoughts in the middle of the night.

I didn't felt safe here...

I'm pretty sure my brothers feel the same way.

My thoughts were all over the place even though my mind felt blank. The thought of that monster made a shiver down my spine.

I was...so scared...

Never in my life I had felt this sensation of fear before. All of this has overloaded my rational brain.

What me and Tessa saw...was no animal. Regardless of what everybody says.

I'm not crazy...

Every moment I keep thinking about it, I felt very uncomfortable...

What..was that monster? What kind of creature was it? It was unidentifiable...or was it...?

What if...the monster comes back...?

What if it looks for us...?

Would we be able to escape...?

Furthermore, would we be able to leave this town...alive?

.....

Maybe...I should just sleep on it.

Yeah. Maybe I will. But first...I am kind of hungry. I got up from my bed, careful not to wake my sleeping brothers on the other side of the room and begin to walk over to the bag containing some of the items we brought.

Me: (Hmm...Let's see...Dang it. Looks like Tommy already ate all the damn candy. I swear, everytime we buy something he be the first one eating it all before we even get the chance.)

Everything's always gotta be about him, huh?

Damn spoiled brat. At least save us something! Don't hog it all for yourself! We're the ones who paid for all this stuff, dangit!

Since we're low on rations, I had to tell Jake we gonna need to go buy some more things first thing in the morning.

I just hope that guy at the store is in a good mood or won't be able to hear the end of it.

I then quietly dug into the bag, despite it making a few small noises, and pulled out a large oatmeal cookie. Luckily, none of my idiot brothers managed to get to it first. Jake always go after the chips while Tommy had a more sweet tooth. He hated oatmeal cookies and prefer chocolate.

I silently opened up the cookie from it's wrapper by using a pair of scissors from the table it was on. After pulling it out. I took a huge bite out of it and enjoyed the mixture of sweet, marginally salty, with a practically rich flavor because of the peanut butter, honey and oats.

Yum...I love oatmeal cookies. They were naturally healthy in they were my favorite.

Jake preferred the sugar and m&m cookies while Tommy likes the chocolate ones like I said before.

After finishing the tasty morsel, my throat felt parched. I was thirsty all of a sudden.

Since we had no milk, a bottle of water will have to do. I opened up the cap and quickly chugged it all down.

Feeling refreshed, I made my way to the bathroom.

....

After relieving myself, I flushed the toilet as I walked over to the sink and begin to wash my hands.

Me: (We have a lot to do if we want to get out of here. Maybe we can start by learning the town's history. Surely they have something going on here...)

"Melody"

My entire body froze. My eyes went wide as soon I heard someone spoke my name.

The voice was indeed a male due to it's low pitch tone.

Because in case you didn't know. There is of course a difference between male and female voices.

Males generally have low pitched voices while females have high pitched voices. The rougher articulation is often associated with male voices while the female voice is associated with a gentler articulation.

So males tend to use full pitch range during speech while females vary pitch range during speech.

But here's the scary part...

It didn't sound like either Jake or Tommy.

I was scared to look behind...instead I looked up into the mirror.

My heart sunk as I grew pale. I quickly ran out of the bathroom towards Jake to warn him.

Me: Jake...Jake! Wake up! Wake up!

I tried shaking him but he didn't even stir. I tried doing the same to Tommy but to no avail! Damnit! Why aren't they waking up and seeing this?!!!

Me: Guys! GUYS! WAKE UP! PLEASE!

I tried screaming and shouting but they barely even move. They were still sound asleep.

The shadowy figure in the bathroom begin to move towards me.

I begin to grew desperate as I continued to cry and scream.

Me: WAKE UP! WAKE UP! PLEASE! WAKE UP!

The figure was now looming over me.

Whispering my name.

"Melody"

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

This can't be real...

Me: Leave Us Alone!!!

Then I heard a whisper in my ear.

"But We Just Started~!"

I Scream.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!

....

Ahh?!

*Pant*....*Pant*....

I took a look around and it was morning. I noticed my brothers begin to get up to get ready for the day.

It was a dream...

It was just a dream...

.....Was it?
