It was a stormy and awful night.
The snow was blowing through the trees.
A quiet, blood curdling voice whispered,
"I smell you, little human."

I opened my tiered eyes and stood up from my warm bed.
The street lamp shone bright into my room.
My window was open and a small snow heap was under the window.
On the street, out in the cold, stood a person!
A strike of lightning illuminated the face of the person....

...but when I saw the face, I retreated a few steps.
That wasn't a human, it was a monster. The small, red eyes were looking at me, the mouth was open and showed a row of sharp teeth.
The hands looked like claws, with long nails and blood dripped on the snow, coloured it dark red.
He carried a black cape with white trousers and a red shirt.
His feet were dirty, he hadn't shoes.

"I can see you!", his voice sounded like fingernails scratching a blackboard.
He moved to me, slowly and as quiet as a cat.
"Little human, so scared.", two steps later he disappeared.
I closed the window fast, my heart beated.
I turned around and there, two meters away from me, he stood, with a scary smile.

I tried to scream, but no sound left my mouth.
He laughed, it was a cold and quiet noise.
I ran to my bedside table and turned on the light.

The monster turned into a teenage boy, his blue eyes were wide opened and filled with fear.
I turned the light off and there stood the monster again!
"You can't escape. If you turn on the light again, I'll disappear, then I'll find you and then I'll kill you!"

As fast as I could, I turned on the light again.
The monster disappeared with a loud and angry scream.
The boy watched at me a few seconds, turned around and runned away.
I was to surprised to do anything.

I never told anybody about this night, but since then I lock up the window twice.
