2 Don't Look Under The Bed

Sitting on her bed, Grace was on her computer watching youtube. It was around 11 pm and one a school night. The door then opened to reveal her father in the frame.

"Grace, it's almost midnight, go to sleep." Her father said shutting the door.

Grace then closes her computer and puts it on her nightstand. She gets under the covers and turns off the light.

*tap* *tap* *tap*

Grace sat up from hearing the tapping. Her breath hastens, not knowing what caused the sound. Not hearing the sound again, she tries to go back to sleep.

*tap* *tap* *tap*

Grace shoots up hearing the tapping again. She turns on the light then looks at the floor. She slowly bends over to look under the bed.

When she lifts the covers, she finds nothing under it. Letting out a sigh, after finding nothing she chalks it up to it being her imagination.

When she was about to get up, she felt the side feels something sit beside her. Her anxiety begins to take effect as she quickly turns her head to see no one.

She let out a sigh as she closed her eyes thinking she was going crazy. When she opened her eyes, she saw a horrific creature with black torn skin, sharp nails, sharp teeth, and yellow eyes.

"AHHHHHH!" She screams as she closes her eyes wishing for it to go away. Not long after, her father comes rushing into her room.

She opens her eyes to see no one on her bed, "I-I thought. Can you check under my bed?!" She asked with her body trembling with fear.

"You're too old for this." Her father said in disbelief about his daughter still asking him to check under the bed.

"Please?!" She pleaded not wanting to see that thing again.

Her dad scoffs after hearing her plead. He gets down and checks under her bed.

"I'm looking and there are no monsters." Her dad said making her sigh in relief. Her dad then left her room after telling her good night.

She lays back down, but the uneasy feeling she has is preventing her from sleeping.

*tap* *tap* *tap*

"DAAAAD!!!!!" She screams after hearing the taping for the third time. Again, her father comes rushing into her room.

"Dad! I keep hearing this taping from under the bed, please check again!" She said with tears forming in her eyes from fear. She didn't know what to do but rely on her dad.

Her dad then checks under the bed again to find nothing. He looks at his daughter with disappointment in his eyes. He never took his daughter to be the one to lie and play pranks.

"Since you want to lie, don't expect me to come in here again after you hear the 'tapping' again." Her father said slamming the door not giving her a chance to speak.

*tap* *tap* *tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *TAP!* *TAP!* *TAP!*

The tapping got louder and the pace quickened, hearing this, Grace covered her eyes to block out the noise.

When the noise began too loud, she got up from her bed and was about to run to her door but...

She felt something grab her ankle. Her heart skipped a beat as she was overcome with fear. She tried to scream, but the thing holding her ankle pulled her to the floor.

*Thump*

Her body hit the floor as she was dragged under the bed. The last thing she said before being under the bed was, "Dad".

-The Next Morning-

" Grace, wake up its time for school!" Her father called out. Getting no response or hearing anything he said it again.

"Grace! It's time for school!" Get no response again he barged into her room to see she was nowhere to be found.

He quickly searched the room, they were no traces of her leaving. His eyes were then directed to the red spot near her bed.

He slowly walked over to her bed and quickly left up the covers. He then jumped back out of shock and fear.

He saw his daughter's mutilated body with claws and bite marks all over her body. Large parts of her flesh were missing. Her gut had been cut open and a few intestines were missing.
