The sound of latch opening had me curl up in the bed and shut my eyes more tightly, gripping the blanket in my fist. The angry footsteps against the floor in otherwise silent night elevated my heartbeat more and my breaths started coming out in pants as the person started nearing.
The hand ripped blanket away from my body and other hand hauled my body upwards. Frightened, I frantically tried to loosen the painful hold on my arm only to have the grip tightening.
Tears sprang, in my brown eyes and scream tore from my throat as my eyes landed on the masked intruder whose red bloodshot eyes stared at me menacingly. The masked intruder glared angrily clamping my mouth shut and strangling my neck with the other hand that had gripped me previously.
My eyes widened as I felt my windpipe being chocked. Desperately, I tried clawing onto the hand of my assaulter, only to be pressed back on the bed with him hovering over me with a manic glint in those scary eyes.
