Short Story: 13 Stories to Read in the Dark

A man was on his knees over a corpse of a woman, he was breathing heavily and shakily. His arms where covered with the blood of the woman and where spread out at his sides. He suddenly turned and looked over his shoulder, it was too dark to see his face but all thatMia could make out was his glowing white yellow eyes and blood dripping out of his mouth. Mia sat straight up in her bed with panic spread across her face. She sighed and though 'That dream again, why do I keep having dreams of that creepy guy? Why would an average 16 year old like me have those weird dreams?'Mia rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock '1:17...Mom should be home any minute.'
"Mia! I'm home, and I want you to meet someone."Mia smirked, 'There she is now.' She climbed out of her bed and started heading downstairs. She stopped halfway down the stairs and looked across the room at her mom who was standing at the doorway with some man. Her mom, Alice, smiled and said," Honey, this is Ryan. He's the guy I've been telling you about."Mia nodded towards Ryan," Nice to meet you Ryan. Mom, I'm going to go back to bed. Night." "Night honey!"
Mia turned and walked back into her room and laid down in her bed, she curled up in a ball and fell back asleep quickly.

Over the next couple of daysMia kept having the dream about the guy with the white yellow eyes, but each time the victim was a different woman. She also got to get to know Ryan better, her mom seemed to be head over heels in love with him, butMia didn't like him for some reason. He let out a bad vibe to her...Like he was evil or something, but he seemed like a really nice guy.
Ryan made them breakfast every morning, helpedMia with her homework, and most importantly made Alice happier.Mia decided to annoy the weird vibe though off of him because of those reasons. She had fallen asleep and she started to have that really weird dream again. She woke up in a panic and then heard a noise Plip. Plop. Plip. Plop. She turned and looked towards the noise and saw three of the girls from her dreams standing there in her room, bleeding from multiple areas. One of the girls stepped forwards leaving a small trail of blood behind her and she whispered," Please...Run...Before anything happens to you or your family...He'll kill you...Run..."
Mia started crying in fear and she took a good look at the girls. The one closest to her had multiple holes the width of an index finder through her body and was missing both of her ears and nose, the one to her left was missing a hand and chunks of her hair was gone, the one to her right though was scariest...Her eyes where missing and so was the skin on her arms, and there was thing though that all three of them had in common...All of them had huge holes in their chest from where there hearts should be.
Mia couldn't take it anymore, she screamed loudly and at that moment Alice and Ryan burst into her room and the three girls disappeared. " Honey, what's wrong?"Mia was balling her eyes out and said shakily," M-m-mom. There w-where three girls, a-around your age, s-s-s-standing by my bed. They where practically ripped in pieces a-a-and they where bleeding all over the place. Th-th-they're trying to warn me about what happened to them mom." Alice hugged her and Ryan had a shocked look on his face and they both comforted her until she fell back asleep.

For the next six daysMia would have her night mare and wake up with those three girls every night. After two days she'd gotten used to it, but it still scared her. One night Ryan and Alice where out on a date and Lily had fallen asleep while watching a movie and started having a really weird dream.
There was a woman walking through the park with a man, instantly from seeing the back of his headMia knew it was the man with white yellow eyes. They turned and looked at each other and the woman said, " I had a great night tonight." he man stroked some hair behind her ear and said, " I did too."Mia couldn't see what they looked like so she stepped closer and gasped seeing who it was......It was Ryan and Alice. Ryan looked down at the ground and said," Alice..." "Yes?" "I'm sorry." Before Alice could respond he looked up and his eyes where now white yellow. Alice opened her moth to scream but Ryan quickly covered it with one hand and held her up in the air. He quickly broke her jaw and then threw her on the ground, he pounced on top of her but he didn’t look that much like Ryan anymore...He was now super pale, had long sharp nails, pointed teeth, his white yellow eyes, he truly looked like a monster. He start scratching her up with his nails causing her to bleed badly and he made a huge gash i her neck. He then leaned down and whispered," Do you still love me Alice?" Fear grew in her eyes and he smirked," Oh well, if you don't love me anymore then you don't need this." He then ripped a hole into her chest where her heart was and tore it out. Alice then laid there dead, with a blank expression on her face as Ryan ate her heart, he then stayed kneeling over her and her dream ended like all her other nightmares.
Mia woke up panicked and got up off the couch, instead of the three girls being there, it was just the one that talked to her. The woman spoke up and whispered," Save her...He's a monster...He'll eat her heart...You don't have much time..."Mia nodded and ran into her mom's room and dug through her drawers and grabbed her gun. She loaded it and then left the house to the park.

Mia got to the park right when Ryan told Alice he was sorry,Mia pointed her gun at him and growled," Don't. You. Dare." Ryan chuckled evilly and turned too Mia. "So you finally figured it out?" " Yeah I did now leave and don't come back, or I'll shoot." Ryan laughed and hunched over. When he came back up he was in his monstrous form and Alice gasped. He cocked his head atMia and said," You really wouldn't shoot me." "Yes I would." He then took one step forward andMia fired 3 times at him.
Ryan collapsed to the ground bleeding andMia and Alice ran off back to their house.

The next to days went along fine,Mia told her mom about everything and Alice was very thankful.Mia also stopped having her bad dreams and the girls didn't come anymore either.Mia one night was sleeping, and she woke up to a noise Plip. Plop. Plip. Plop.Mia sat up and saw the three girls standing there. The one had a single tear streaming down her face and she said," We tried to warn you...But you didn't listen to part of what we were saying." Mia's eyes grew in fear," What?"
Then she Felt an arm snake forcefully over her mouth while the other held her arms together.
" Did you miss me Mia?"
