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

“NO GO AWAY LEAVE US ALONE!” I screamed at the door,
409Please respect copyright.PENANAtRtPRgAQLN
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.

“GO AWAY!” I yelled again,
409Please respect copyright.PENANAYmVJqwEm1k
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.
409Please respect copyright.PENANAb7JLZrmsDW
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 The barking had been replaced by the voice of an old woman,
409Please respect copyright.PENANATbNLpDuvQX
I didn’t want to know if she was joking or not. I grabbed Camila’s head and raised it to mine,
409Please respect copyright.PENANA1lTMl5rM2B
“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.
409Please respect copyright.PENANAE2c58K12Xy
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,
409Please respect copyright.PENANA2jIqyVM8fh
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.
409Please respect copyright.PENANAoig0eBA4py
They were tearing off my eyelids.
409Please respect copyright.PENANAY3bIPRyb7F
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.

Where was Camila?
409Please respect copyright.PENANAkcwI1FKuoo
I thought I tried moving my feet but they were stuck. I couldn't find my child.
409Please respect copyright.PENANAFXQXo8wlNk
That’s it
409Please respect copyright.PENANAf1sCP3JUAj
I let go of my breath and yelled “CAMILA WHERE ARE YOU?!”
409Please respect copyright.PENANALZO2cfe4pm
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.
409Please respect copyright.PENANAdTqEXyPaps
The blood filled me, it stung my exposed eyes and it hurt and pained. It was almost over. I knew I would die soon.
409Please respect copyright.PENANAcTXeBUhMXx
“MOMMA WHERE ARE YOU?” I heard Camila yelled,
409Please respect copyright.PENANAUad3NTVKbx
“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.
