Lilitu and the Children of the Dark

Lilitu and the Children of the Dark

      Lilitu heard an ominous whistling. She was home alone, so the logical thing, in her eyes, was to go and investigate. Then, a high pitched, desperate screech from the attic. Lilitu rushed to the kitchen, grabbing a knife, and then raced to the old, creaky, wooden door in the middle of the living room. Behind the door lied a staircase the led to the attic. She carefully turned the door handle, and then cautiously endeavored up the steps. Opening the door that led directly to the attic... a gust of wind burst out and threw Lilitu down the staircase. Suddenly, it went dark. The light she had turned on when she opened the door at the bottom was out. There had been no flickering. Then, suddenly, a whistling voice said,

       "Run. Run. Run while you can."

       Lilitu burst out of the door as piercing green eyes had begun to appear at the top of the staircase. She slammed the door shut, ran to the kitchen, grabbed the key, planning to lock the attic door shut. But, before she could go, she saw blood on the kitchen floor. Moving to look more at it, as it was hiding behind the island. It read,

Why aren't you running?

       Quickly, Lilitu ran into her room and slammed the door shut. She began to cry. When she wiped her eyes and looked down at her hands, they were covered in blood. She walked to her mirror, blood was oozing out of her eyes. 

         The next day, no one could find Lilitu. And they haven't seen her since.
