The Flatts Under My Bed
Mrs. Vernon tucked her daughter's into bed, and gave them each a kiss goodnight.

"Goodnight Girls."

"Good night mommy we love you!" The girls said.

"I love you too now close your eyes and go to sleep.

Mrs. Vernon turned off the light and tiptoed out the door.

Britney yawned and closed her eyes to sleep. But in the darkness the girls heard a noise in their room. Brooklyn's eyes flew open. Britney turned on the light.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yea, but nothing's there."

With a sigh of relief, Britney turned the light back off and jumped back into the bed. The girls closed their eyes and tried to fall asleep.

As they settled in another noise could be heard from under her bed. This time it was a little louder. But still they didn't know what it was.

"What was that?!" Brooklyn yelled.

Britney switched the light back on. They looked around the room and saw nothing.

Britney left the light on but got back into bed. After ten minutes and no more noises she turned the light off and got back into bed.

"Their is nothing in here, let's just go to sleep." Britney said.

But almost as soon as she was done the noise could be heard again. This time they could almost make out what it was. "P....d......t."

"Are you sure about that?!" Brooklyn asked.

Britney got up and turned on the light again. She looked around the room and saw nothing.

"Brooklyn, look under your bed and tell me if you see anything."

"No you do it!" Brooklyn protested.

"I don't want to. Fine, their is nothing here, let's go to sleep." Britney said, switching off the lights and climbing back into bed.

The room was quiet, both girls sat up in bed with their eyes wide open.

After a long time the sound came again. Even louder than before. "Pr..in..r.d......t!"

"Okay what was that?!"

"I don't know, you're doing it Britney." Brooklyn accused.

"I am not." Britney got up to turn on the light but as her foot touched the floor she heard the noise again. She jumped back into bed.

"Pray....r.d...ight!"

"Okay this is scary." Brooklyn said.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just trying to prove to you that nothing is in here." Britney lied.

When all of a sudden Brittney felt something beating softly under her bed.

"Oh my, what was that?! Something's under my bed!" Britney said.

Britney jumped three feet off her bed and as she landed she heard someone say, "ouch!" Then they heard the noise again, "Pray.n...r.d...ight!"

Britney and Brooklyn screamed!

Their mother came running in.

"Girls what is the matter?!" "Their is something under Britney's bed Mommy! Get it!" Brooklyn started to cry.
