Scratching at the door constant scratching. Like something was trying to come it.

“NO GO AWAY LEAVE US ALONE!” I screamed at the door,
229Please respect copyright.PENANAiaMWp7U5QB
But it didn’t stop, no. It WOULDN’T stop. The scratching became worse and louder until the thing behind the door finally broke through the wood. A black claw had broken through it was covered in crimson blood.

I hugged my daughter closer and hushed her cries. If things would take anything it would be me.
229Please respect copyright.PENANASnrdRXqW83
“GO AWAY!” I yelled again,
229Please respect copyright.PENANAd2TJlngARx
I then heard growls come from the other side of the door. Then barking, it got louder every second. Until it became constant getting louder and soon filling the entire room. There was no pattern it. It was almost like an insane person laughing the sound ringing through my head over and over again with no stop.

“Mommy, why is there red coming from the roof?” I heard my daughter say.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAKDjZ9dTnqP
Red? From the roof? How? But then I saw the “red” my child was talking about. There was the crimson blood from that claw leaking through the roof.

“Oh so you finally realised? Hold your breath before it collapses.” The barking had been replaced by the voice of an old woman,
229Please respect copyright.PENANAlnvtW8CBIw
I didn’t want to know if she was joking or not. I grabbed Camila’s head and raised it to mine,
229Please respect copyright.PENANAtalXhYED7Z
“Baby, I need you to take a deep breath and close your eyes don’t stop no matter what,” I said to my darling Camila.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAboy7y9GoWS
She nodded and then looked at me for the last time. I then did the same I took a deep breath and waited.

“Oh no, you don’t get to. Open those eyes,” the old lady's voice said,
229Please respect copyright.PENANALrEFuysYd1
My eyelids were pulled open. As soon as they reached the top of my eye the opening didn't stop. They kept pulling, I wanted to scream and yell but couldn't risk losing the air. I soon felt my skin tearing.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAq0qiJZcKgx
They were tearing off my eyelids.
229Please respect copyright.PENANANYsPPzlOlW
I had realised it. They had succeeded too I could feel blood running from my eyelids. It stung as it hit my eyes. It was painful it hurt but I couldn't scream. While this was happening blood had now pooled to my knees. I looked around despite the pain. In the blood, there was mixed of body parts too. Severed arms and legs. Near me were a pair of eyes. I wanted to close my eyes to look no further but I couldn’t. The blood had now pooled to my chin.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAtFvkPCE50b
Where was Camila?
229Please respect copyright.PENANAXp5Yc5hAC4
I thought I tried moving my feet but they were stuck. I couldn't find my child.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ7S0T43xJ
That’s it
229Please respect copyright.PENANA0gxgs02lPQ
I let go of my breath and yelled “CAMILA WHERE ARE YOU?!”
229Please respect copyright.PENANA6H5IrJq8iX
At that exact moment, the roof fell in, and the blood-filled everything. Blood was inside my insides and I started choking on it. I needed to swim to the top to get a breath of air but my feet were still stuck, I was useless. All I could wish for was for my baby to be safe. She didn’t deserve this.
229Please respect copyright.PENANA2jy0ZKK0Sd
The blood filled me, it stung my exposed eyes and it hurt and pained. It was almost over. I knew I would die soon.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAH5xIQnfWHF
“MOMMA WHERE ARE YOU?” I heard Camila yelled,
229Please respect copyright.PENANA1rwA55K97l
“Right here honey, I promise I’ll always be with you.” I tried to say but I don't think I ever finished that sentence.
