The room was quiet, silence surrounding Vivian as she slept on the bed. Curtains that were drawn shut didn't stop the lightning to stop coming through it, occasionally coming and going to bring light not only to the objects but also to the shadows.
One such shadow that lurked in the room came forward, dragging its dark ragged cloak across the floor bringing the invitation of death along with it. With not a whisper of a voice in the room, it came to stand next to the bed where the girl was fast asleep. The hidden face looking down in her direction, seconds passing to minutes before it's hand moved forward towards her slender neck.
Boney, skeleton fingers hovered above her to wrap around her neck like a leech without waking her up.
