“It was the middle of the night still, the moon shining in through the window. Gracie was asleep beside me. Nothing looked amiss. Yet dread grew in the pit of my stomach. I pulled the covers right up to my chin.Someone else was here in the room.‘Kit?’ I whispered. ‘Is that you?’No one answered.And yet the bedroom door began to open. My heart gave a painful thud. I sat up, rubbing my eyes and wondering if this was still a dream. From the landing came the sound of footsteps. They were light and qu...ick; I knew them at once. The spirit was back.Hands shaking, I reached for our candle. Once it was lit, I felt braver but still hadn’t the guts to get out of bed. The footsteps got louder. Gracie groaned like she was about to wake. Then, right close by, I heard whispering and with it, that dreadful smell of honey. Terrified, I leapt straight out of bed.The footsteps on the landing stopped.I crept to the door and looked back to check Gracie – she slept on. My heart beat hard as I went out onto the landing.MoreLessRead More Read Less
