The Return of the Hairy Monster


Late one night, just as the moon began to peep above the trees, a weird wail was heard in the distance. Could this be the return of the monster, which had haunted the village many years ago? Molly decided to investigate………….
She got out of bed and looked down at her the village and saw nothing but the big, bright moons she decided she would just go back to bed and forget it. She took about two steps and heard the weird wail again but this time it sounded closer. Molly froze. She turned back round and saw something move in the distance, it spotted her it was coming towards Molly. Molly ran to her bed as fast as lightning and hid under her covers shivering with fear trying to keep quiet………….
After about 5 minutes she got out from under her covers and realised it had stopped. She soon fell asleep.
The next morning she was at the table having her breakfast. She didn’t know if it was a dream or not. “Do monsters exist?” She asked herself then asked her mum.
“No, why are you asking?” Her mum replied confused.
“I heard weird wails last and I looked out of my window and saw something move. I didn’t know what it was. I thought it could have been the hairy monster that Grandad had told me, he said that it used to kill someone each night in the village,” Molly said scared.
“Don’t talk rubbish, you know your grandad makes all the stories up,”
The next day she was at her gran and grandad’s house since it was the school holiday. She asked her Grandad about the hairy monster
“Is the hairy true or did you just make it up to scare me?” She asked kindly.
“Is it true, why would I make it up to scare?” he said
“Do you know anything about the monster?” Molly had asked her grandad.
“Well I heard that it used to kill one person each night in the village,” He replied
“And do you think it is really true?” Gulped Molly. Her grandad didn’t answer,
“Well I better get home before it gets too late.” Molly said to her gram and grandad
“See you later Molly,” Said her gran waving to her. Molly put her hood up since it was pouring it down it down with rain. She looked at her watch, it was already 10pm. She went down the dark alley because it was quicker but it was pitch black and the rain was getting heavier. She heard something coming up behind her, she looked behind her but there was nobody there. She carried on walking. Then she heard footsteps behind her getting closer and closer, THUMP THUMP THUMP
“Wh-o is th-e-re?” She said in panic but nobody replied. She started to run but it started chasing after her but she tripped on something. She heard the wail that she heard last night. The thing had grabbed her and covered her mouth with its hand. It had a knife in its other hand and raised up against Molly’s face. He felt hairy. Could this be the terrible Hairy Monster. Molly was shaking. She felt something sharp going across her neck. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!! She fell to the ground.
