Haunted by Skylar997 (universal ebook reader .txt) 📕

Sierra Costen was a nonbeliever of anything dark. She hated anything dark, mostly vampires and werewolves. She never knew that hating something would cause anything wrong. Big mistake.
One night Sierra was reading a book about dogs. She was on her last page and she looked at the picture. The dog was bloody by the mouth, was bony, and was nearly on fire. She closed the book and ran out of her room. She went to go tell her sister. When she arrived at her sisters door there was a carving that said "KEEP OUT, OR DIE." She ran to her mom but nobody was in the house. She heard a sudden whisper,"you don't have to go, you can stay with me, forever and ever". She looked by her shoulder and then felt a push on her stomach, she fell into a chair. Something took the chair and her head hit the wall. She shouted,"STOP! STOP IT STOP IT!" She ran out of the house only to find a note on the door,"You can run, but trust me you can't hide. We know everything, where you are, what you think, what you say. We can hunt you down, and when were done, IT WON'T BE PRETTY!" She threw the note on the ground, it went into flames and disappeared. She ran to a neighbor, only to find another note,"Probably wouldn't want to open that door, we already took care of her." She breathed heavily knocking on every house nearby. She ran to a police station only to find a trail of blood, she followed it. She walked through the station finding bones along the way, human bones. She looked back making sure not to be followed when she bumped into a shadowy figure. When she turned around, she woke up. She ran out of her room looking for her sister and her mom. They were there, but they never answered her. She kept yelling,"MOM, YOU THERE! MOM!!!!! STOP PLAYING!" Soon her moms body turned to stone and Sierra ran out of the house. She ran to the police station and stared at the door. Her hand trembled as she reached for the door. She was about to open the door when she stopped. She remembered her dream and ran. Her energy ran out and she had to walk back to her house. After at least an hour of walking she found her house. She knocked on the door only to find something crawl in her sleeve. She stopped and hit her arm. She pulled up her sleeve only to find a black, bumpy bug on her arm. She looked as it's arms connected to her skin. The arms started to turn to what looked like vanes. She looked as blood came out of her body, and she blacked out. She woke up to be strapped in a hospital bed. A ghostly figure approached,"Aha, you got our bug eh?" She blinked to get her vision back and replied,"Who who are you? What am I doing here?" The ghostly figure pulled out a sharp figure and cut into Sierra's stomach. She felt nothing but his anger. The ghostly figure pushed it in as far as it would go. He then turned around to try and find the amnesia shots. Sierra clinched the knife and slowly pulled it out of her body. She threw it at the ghost, but it went threw him. He grabbed it,"Oh so you try and kill me huh? That won't be easy, only someone who believes me knows how to kill me!" She tried catching her breath as the ghost held the bug in his arms. He put it on her arm as it drank her blood. Her vision got blurry. She grabbed the bug and stuck her nail in it. She could not do a lot while strapped in a bed. It broke into pieces as if it was glass. She breathed heavily, she was so tightly strapped she could only get a whiff of air every minute. She thought,"If I give up my soul will rise to heaven, and I will see my mom and my sister! Wait, what if they're not up there yet and they're still alive!" She looked for the bug but she only saw glass. She picked up the glass and cut her strap. She ran as fast as she could out. She was halfway up the street when she was tripped and she fell on her face. She got up and put her hand on her face. She felt blood gushing out of her system. She looked back to see a black figure floating towards her. She ran as fast as her now disabled feet could go. She saw her neighbor getting out of her car. She ran to her neighbor. Her neighbor looked at her and screamed,"WHAT HAPPENED!" Sierra coughed and said,"No time run someone I mean something is following me!" She grabbed her neighbor and ran. The neighbor looked back to see nothing. Sierra felt her neighbor, Erica let go of her hand. Sierra looked back to see nothing but the road. Sierra looked confused as she murmured,"He was right.. there he was I mean.. huh?"
She looked over to find her neighbor gone and the shadowy figure coming closer. Sierra ran to the police station which was opened. She ran in and hid behind a policemen. She then looked as the cop's head turned to face her. She looked up at the cop and ran. She ran to a holding cell, she was already trapped inside the station.So she locked herself in and hid in a corner. She cried as she felt a hand touch her shoulder. It was shadowy but it was a pure white. The white, shadowy figure whispered,"Im your guardian angel here to save you." The shadowy figure picked Sierra up and went out of the police station. She went into a hospital. Sierra looked at the figure and curiously asked,"Umm what are we doing here?" The shadowy figure turned black and replied in a deep voice,"Were here so i can kill you and eat your flesh." She squirmed as the figure stuck a shot in her neck. She blacked out, for it was an amnesia shot. She woke up to find herself strapped again in the same bed strapped even tighter. This time the bed was in a cell. Her vision started to clear as she felt blood pouring out of her neck. She covered it as it stopped. "well well well, thought you could escape? I told you, I know what you think, how you smell, I even know what you eat. Don't act like you don't know", said the ghostly voice. Sierra breathed heavily as the air began to smell murky. The ghostly figure then grabbed a knife and jabbed Sierra's stomach, the same exact spot. This time he did it at least three times. As he was going for a third she grabbed the knife. She used all her strength and broke the knife. When she looked at it, she had realized she had just made a big mistake. She broke the handle off instead of the vanguard.

The ghostly figure took the blade and cut across Sierra's stomach. Sierra's scream peirced the ears of the ghost. He jumped onto her stomach and started to jab Sierra in the head. In a whiff of air from Sierra she caught the blade once more. She starred at the blade as every breath she took the blade went closer. She held her breath as a tear fell from her eye onto the floor. Her arm began to shake as her strength began to dim. She felt the breath of the ghost blowing down onto her face. The deadly smell of blood went threw her nose. As she began to look at the ghost she felt comfort. She said to herself,"I have to find out who he really is, and im not going to give up". She began to pry the knife out of the ghosts hands and she broke it into two halves. She took the tip of the knife and threw it into the wall. It was almost like time stopped as she watched the knife slowly dig into the wall. She sighed in relief as she saw the blade was deep into the wall. The ghost couldn't pull it out. Her smile then went away as she saw the ghost disappear into the wall. He came out with the tip of the knife in his hands. As he ran towards her she began to cut the strap with the nearby glass on the ground. He threw the knife towards her as she turned around and catched it. She took the rest of her strength and cut her waste and legs apart. She threw the knife into the bars of the cage and the door threw open. She ran out and found that nobody was chasing her. The only one she saw was a man that looked awfully familiar. She turned around as she wiped her eyes to get a better look. Her vision cleared as she saw the mysterious man's face.
It was her father, who abandoned her family at her birth. She was relieved yet angry. She ran towards him and gave him the biggest bear hug you could imagine. As she hugged him she couldn't feel his shoulder. She backed away as she saw the ghostly figure. He smiled and said,"Join me, your mom and sister already did".

I sat there in shock as my hands started to tremble. I looked at his shadowy eyes. I looked deep into his soul. I had the feeling that I knew him. He seemed so familiar. Yet I don't know exactly who he is. I tilt my head as he runs towards me. He runs as fast as he can, yet it feels like time has stopped. All I see is an image of his ghostly body. I clear my vision and see a man. I see a man, I've... seen before. He runs his hands through my hair. A tear drops from his face. I hug him as I realize, this is my dad. He smiled
