enchanted creature

It was a hot summer evening, and i had been sleeping upstairs in my bed for several hours. My brother's room was directly across a small landing, maybe about 15 feet away. Suddenly, i awoke, feeling like i was being watched. i chastised myself for being childish and cajoled myself to open my eyes to prove there was no one staring at me in the doorway. i counted down...1...2...3..., i opened my eyes, and turned to the door, to prove to myself that no one was there. Well, there it WAS! A figure standing there! It was a shadow in the shape of a man and as tall as the doorway itself. Its form consisted of a shadow that was darker than the night around it."

instantly i closed my eyes almost immediately, tyring to figure out what to do. Did i just see what i thought that i did? I turned onto my stomach and pulled my foot back under the covers. I could still feel it starring at me. I had hoped it would stay at the doorway or fade away. No such luck. Gradually, I could feel the air start to turn cold. At the same time, I could feel its presence getting closer and closer. I was so frightened. The next thing I knew, I felt cold, Evil weight 'Lying' on top of my back. The weight felt like when two magets that repel eachother, Like an invisible force of sorts. It seemed to be trying to push down into me. It was very cold breeze. I was entirely petfified and thought i should call out for help. my parents' room was directly below mine, and my brother was sleeping just across the landing. I built up the courage to scream and counted in my mind again. 1...2...3..., And i screamed like i had never screamed before. But to my horror, no sound came from my lungs. To make matters even worse, The shadow figure moved its hand toward my open mouth. Its soul started to pour into me as it entered my mouth and attempted to grab my voice or something, I don't know! I was terrified! I stopped screaming, and its hand faded from inside my mouth and throat. I could still feel the cold. I could still feel the heaviness of its form on my body. I could still feel its evil. I didn't know what to do next, So i decided to start praying. After what seemed like forever, I could feel the weight lifting and the air warming.

Eventually, i diden't feel its presence anymore. I couldn't bring myself to run downstairs to get help from my parents or even across the landing to my brother's room, So i stayed there, Horrified. Once morning began to dawn, I fell asleep. I have feared this apparition returning my entire life. I think it may have been tied to that farmhouse we lived in since it was quite old. I alwats felt an evil presence from that side of my room. So scary! i dont believe in heaven, i never believed in hell. im not one to join the heard, and i cannot adjust well.
