Away

It

Past the door was nothing but pitch black. The pitch black was soon interrupted by an old light flickering on, revealing a strange figure.

The light that hid this creature from me before, flickered out, but this time the light in the room I was in followed suit. In the dark, I heard the door close.

After a few seconds, the light flickered back on, and there was a pair of legs in front of the bed I was under.

The light flickers back off, then on.

It was now kneeling, in front of me.

I held my breath.

The light flickers off, and I hear the door open.

The light flickers back on, and I see the door open.

I began to slowly get out from under the bed, but something stopped me from doing so, like something was telling me not to go from under the bed.

The light flickers off. I stand completely still, and I hear the door close. 

The light flickers back on, and stays on. I wonder what it was that caused me to act the way I did.
