~A scary story request by my buddie Le Pu Chan ^^ <3 (aka. junkie monster Valy xD)~
Once upon a time, there was this lil boy, around 6 years old. Every day, his visit to his cousin’s house was nothing out of the ordinary, everyday was fun at a couple blocks away from his house. We can say he was treated like an extra son they never had. One day his mother left him, she was to take a trip that took many years and what better hands than her sister’s house to take care of his well being. He didn’t pose complain, the place was great and he could live a great life as the only child with no siblings. He had it made and the time pass living in that great place, or so he thought. No one can avoid waking up very early in the morning, he had those moments like any other and just turned back into a better position to began his dream anew, until one night. The house is located in a small town, away from the city where anyone roams free close to nature and they all know each other to show how much people live so close. Animals like chickens, horses, cats and dogs were common everyday running around the streets and alleys doing what they only know, and as such, they also sneaked into houses to do their exploration, specially cats who are able to climb trees, run over ceilings and sneak into windows in search for small prays or just hanging out. He knew all that and found nothing strange when he began hearing sounds, cracks or sudden sounds around the dark house, backyard and ceilings. But then it stroke him odd the sequence and rhythm of a peculiar sound. “footsteps?, that can’t be!” inside his mind he spoke as he heard what seems to be one step for every 2 seconds of someone walking on the aluminum and clay made ceilings, yes, a small average house. “I wonder where is walking to” echoed in his mind again, he wasn’t moving thrilled by the event, his eyes were fixed to his cousin sleeping on a bed next to him and hidden inside a blanket. The footsteps began from a corner of the ceiling as someone walking outside and to the center, the boy can pinpoint its location by just the sounds, and then, the steps reached the edge of the ceiling with no more place to walk, thus became silent. “good, is gone, I shall tell about it tomorrow morning” said in his calm mind that suddenly panics and raises his heartbeats so strong, why? He just heard whatever that was hit the ground of the backyard with great force as if someone just jumped straight down from the ceiling. “this can’t be real. . .this can’t be real. . .” always speaking into his mind, it was so true that there’s no doubt that no animal could do that, and at 3 am no soul is outside, specially not on ceilings. “what now!?” the steps began walking again, they went straight into the house! Using the door that leads to the backyard. “is at the dining room.” Is amazing how he hasn’t move an inch since this whole thing started, the steps now sound like dressing shoes walking on hard floor, even the more proof that is human noise. “not here, please not!” his eyes shut hearing the enigmatic steps steer into the hallway that leads to the bedrooms, slowly getting closer and closer, then it stops. Know that the bedroom doesn’t have a door, but a see thru curtain. “what is it up to?” he ask 10 minutes past the starting point, and the unknown stands there. “I think I can . .. see it .. “ the curiosity got the best of him, his head painfully moved an inch enough to open his eyes and have the entrance on his view, to which he saw nothing. “I know is true, there’s something there.” Yes, his thought was right and a black shadow suddenly peeks into the room petrifying him completely but he knew his eyes were so small and hidden in the shadows to be found out by that. “what do I do now!?” his mind is panicking, next to the hallway there are many windows with bright light shining into the house, and right on that entrance where the pitch black colored figure seem unaffected by any light. Almost 3 minutes passed and the shadow is gone, he wasn’t confident, he knew there has got to be more. The steps began again, but walking away from that spot. “is he leaving?, I hope so” yes, the steps were going back using the same way they came in, out the backyard, then a jump to the ceiling back to its starting point after almost 20 minutes of torturing the poor soul. “I don’t want to see this anymore, I better go back to sleep.” His eyes closed and raced to calm down back to sleep, but, after 10 minutes, the steps began again and his body panicked once again almost to tears. He was so paralyzed that he couldn’t awake his cousin just an arm reach away, he was full of doubt and scared as the steps rumbled the ground when they fell again, and echoed the house in its intrusion. The boy decided to stay still and ignore it, hoping the presence will leave him alone, but to his surprise, the presence didn’t stopped and when into the room right away. No matter what, he kept calm as the steps stopped, but right below his bed this time. “I gotta see it!, I gotta see it!” He was so curious, and scared, but he just went ahead and slowly opened his eyes ¼ of the way, to see nothing. “what!?” nothing was standing by the bed, but the proof showed there is. “If I don’t move, it won’t do anything to me.” He thought, and after few minutes, the steps began its whole travel back to its beginning to which it didn’t came back again that night.
For some reason, he didn’t said anything to adults, but friends and cousins who didn’t believed him. He was the smallest of them all and thought that it was childish of him to come up with the story about an invisible person who walks the house towards him every time he wakes early morning, yes, it was very constant.
The events varied every night. Sometimes the presence did breathing or radio like noises as it walked the house. Sometimes it was highly terrifying to the point that it climbed up the bed while causing its noises and incredibly not waking his cousin up, but by then he grew used to it that his eyes opened freely to witness the invisible person come and go, but even so, his body was never able to move and face it. With the passing months, the presence also changed its behavior and tricks, so he had to defend accordingly, but sometimes he just couldn’t, for instance, one Saturday morning, his eyes open and it all seem normal with bright sunlight entering the house and shine into it, he always holded the need to potty until there was a slight amount of light at least, for he knew the noises never appear with light, thus, he got up and walked to do his necessity, but as soon as the door opened to go back, the whole outside was back again into nighttime. He was wide awake, there’s no way daylight was an illusion, he knew that thing played with him, so he had no choice but to collect courage and run straight back to bed in the dark. The entrance was also a show of random generated forms of shadows, and sometimes, when he wakes up, the thing was already next to him and immediately shut his eyes till the form walked back outside again, and during those times ‘it’ was away, he turned his body to a protective position and concentrated back to sleep, and even if the town is known for its summer weather all year around, his blanket was a thick one, and he never sweat in it, for he was feelings so protected inside of it.
The noises never ceased, and adults never believed as the years passed and reached his 10 years. His mother returned and took him away to move into another place, and till this point, no one knows what is really happening inside that house in which special minds like his are capable to witness that unknow.
