" who's there? Olivia tried to find out who might possibly be in her father's workshop. Her deer shaped eyes moved from one side of the dark room to another, being the youngest daughter of the Madison family, Olivia sincerely wanted to go out on an errand for her family, the whole house was dark so the family needed the only lantern, they had for vision....
Being too curious even after hearing something fall in the dark room, Olivia still entered the workshop to get the lantern.
She had turn 18 that day and her family held a little celebration for her in their small house, the light generated for the town went off all of a sudden, making their celebration come to a quick end. Andrea frowned upon her mother trying to coax her so that she would go and get their only source of light from her father's workshop.
" I'll go mother! Was a quick voice from the birthday girl.
"..."
The was silent and Olivia could only poute her lips, were they going to actually treat her like a child forever, she's 18 for goodness sake! She shouted inwardly. Her father narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't want his little girl go out in the dark.....it was just too dangerous for a girl like her, so innocent and harmless. He would have gone for it himself if he wasn't tired after a long day at work, the girl was not going to take a no! From her parents hence, they just gave in and she smiled widely before she happily jumped out of the house. Her steps where quick as she walked her way to the workshop, not looking back at anything and she just hopped like a little child being told to get a gift bag from her mother's bag.
" Are you a thief? She shouted again," do you need help, my family would help you? She said still straining her neck to check the room. No response came and when she made her mind to walk into the workshop, she almost jumped out to the ground when a black big cat run pass her. 'It's just a cat' she breath out and cleaned the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, she laughed inwardly at her self, he was such a scared rat! And mad her way into the room. It took time for her eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room and her eyes lightened when she saw the glassy reflect of the lantern and her hands went to grab it and concentrated on how to switch it on when she heard a growl right behind her and her body stiffened. How scared was she when the cat jumped out of the shop, now she was terrified. Her hands shaked not knowing what to do at the moment, was someone in her father's workshop! Almost loosing her grib on the lantern, she became more convinced that she was not the only person in the shop when the cold breath of the person fell on her shoulders.
Her fingers finding their way to switch on the lantern and this action made the growling more loud, the sweat formed at her back drove down her spine. She could feel the cold breath of the person right behind her and that made her shiver at the same time, her frozen feet's broke through with her curiousity getting the better of her, turning around with her still praying it was her brother who just loved playing pranks with her, her eyes widened with what she saw....
That was no joke! The lantern fell from her hand and for some odd reasons, the light was still on even though it was broken. She staggered backwards and her back hit the table from which she took the lantern, her wide eyes still looking at the creature. Creature because she didn't know what to call it... what she saw, a corpse- like creature! Almost dead or she could say dead walking and didn't look happy to see her in the shop. It started moving forward and that gave her the signal that she was in deep deep trouble, she turned and started to run from there alarming the creature to case after her.....
