(heehee a new story i will probably never finish.) I remember it all. How my dad use to check the closet, how no matter how many times I checked under the bed, I never felt safe. There was no safe zone with me. Your friend or nothing. I think I trusted one person ever, they betrayed me. So today, I will start my Journal. Day 1 It's been two days since I thought I was safe. Since I thought there were no monsters, since I believed in being safe. I always thought that once daddy checked, it was safe. I am in my room, as far from the edge of the bed and closet I can go. If they come for me, I can escape. If you didn't believe in closet monsters, well your wrong. I've seen them, I've scented them, I've touched them, they are more than real, supernatural. They mock you, they make you insane, they want to make sure you never know the difference from real and fake. Once you think you know, they get you. They pull you in, they have you meet the light, decide to die easy or hard, soul searching. It is easier said than done. I've seen the light, more than once. I believe that if I go down, I will fight to the top. Those monsters will go down, easy way or hard. If they go down hard, I will make sure their kind will not come back... EVER. they will be afraid even after I'm gone I will be checking my closet until they meet their match. One day, I don't care how old I get, I know they are real. I know there are monsters. I know they are looking for me.
(each update will be a day) Day 2 I was outside, I had to go out once in awhile, NEVER IN THE DARK. since I found out about "my little friends" I decided to stay far from the dark, that's where they get you. When I go to sleep, I'm under a bright light, as soon as the sun goes down I stay in my spot, waiting for them to finish their job. I've seen them in the light so that's how I know they can get me, but I don't know when they will. They can get me any second, at high noon it midnight, 5:00 am or 5:00pm. They can be behind me at the moment. I gather my supplies and go to my corner, iPhone - Check Charger - Check Food to last night and most morning - check Knife - check First Aid kit - check Pillow - check I have all I need. I lean against the corner and stay up until 1, then I start to settle. 11:00 pm - 1:00 am is their best hours to get you. I lay my head and take a small rest.
Day 3 I woke up to a sound. It was a raspy voice. "Grab her legs" it said, another said "No. I want her arms" they sound like snakes that could speak. I opened my eyes slightly and there were 4 creatures. They were blue-green with different eyes. You could tell they were all male except one because they had green eyes and were taller. The female had violet eyes and was smaller. A slimy hand touched me, I had enough. I jumped up and was able to stab a creature with my knife I kept under my pillow. The other 3 ran away. Once it was alone I saw it start to wiggle, not a dance wiggle but an I-might-turn-huge-and-murder-you wiggle. I relized I got the female. She did grow but not into a dinosaur thing, into a girl. She had straight brown hair, purple eyes and the way she was laying made her look 5"8'. She was wearing a green top and blue jeans. "H-hello?" I said to her. Her eyes popped open and she jumped up. "W-what. Who are you? Where am I? What am i?" the last question got me. What is she. "Um... Hi. I don't know who you are, you are in my house and I'm not sure what you are" I said. She turned to my mirror and looked. "we both look the same species." she said. I nodded. "But you were something else" she was about to say something when I heard a hissing noise getting close. "no time for questions follow me" I said and ran out of the room, it was still dark out but the monsters were coming towards us. I ran outside and climbed a tree. "Your an impressive climber" i said awkwardly and she darted up the tree. Her regular species can't climb, but when their disguise fails I guess they get human trates. "thanks. what are those?" she asked. I looked at her and said "That's what you were before you became like that" I said. She gasped.
Day 4 It figures I woke up outside in a tree. I looks below the tree and there was the girl, she looked hurt. I jumped down and landed on the soft ground. "Hey. Wake up." I said. She looked alarmed and jumped up almost punching me. "Ey, calm down" I said. She looked at me. "Oh it's just you" she said. I find it interesting we trust eachother so much yet we don't know a thing about each other. (I'm doing 2 things at the moment so the rest of the day will come later)
We sat there in silence as I tended to her wounds. We will have to escape where they hide, out of the town maybe? Or even the country? Or better yet... The world. How would we leave the world you might ask, easy answer. Letting them kill us. Letting them get to us. Letting them maybe eat us. There is endless ways to escape, but suicide will not happen. Suicide means I lost the war. The world lost. Maybe even the galaxy. But I will not let that happen. "OUCH" she yelled as I put some peroxide on her arm. "it will hurt" I said and she gave me a glare. I smiled at her a poured more on. "STOP IT!" she yelled. "Do you want to get an infection and die?" I asked. "my first life was taken so why not" she mumbled. "Wait, what do you mean first life." I asked. "those things you call monsters get 9 lives, like a cat, and each life is a different animal or species. 1st life, monster. 2nd life, human. 3rd life, cat. 4th life dog. 5th life insect. 6th life, squirrel. 7th life, wild dog. 8th life, another type of cat. 9th life, human again. If you get granted more than 9 lives the cycle continues. It all depends on your ranking." she explained. I stood there shocked. I heard a hiss and I yelled "RUN!" she followed no question. She doesn't want to lose another life. Since she practically forgot about that life until I told her she was one, what if I was on too? If I become a cat I can fight better, run faster and longer, and escape easier. "What's-your-face, we are going to die" I said. She looked at me puzzled. Then realized, to become cats
