Concurso gótico. Tale 21. The Eyes in the Dark

One night , Matilde woke up with a soft scratching on her. She thought it was a tree branch until she remembered there were no trees nearly her room. Slowly, she turned her head, two glowing red eyes were staring at her through the glass.

She could not move, the eyes blinked once and then disappeared in the dark. Matilde ran to her parents´ room, but they said it was just a dream.

The next night, she heard the scratching again. That time, it came from inside the closet. Her hands were trembling as she opened the door. Only her clothes were there except for one thing, a note pinned to her jacket, that said «Now , i can see you». Then, Matilde turned around and she saw the beast under her bed.
