Welcome to Gaia! ::

Carrie felt something wet on her cheek, and lifted a hand to touch it.
Was she... crying?

She buried her face in the pillow. This was so embarrassing! There... there were no such things as monsters! It... it was just her imagination! She was thinking up such scary things, so of COURSE it would happen. Yes, that was why.

Feeling a gentle tug, she stiffened as she gripped the pillow tighter.
NO. NO. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
Another soft giggle, and was that... a HAND?

Reflex acting over instinct, she immediately threw the pillow at it and started shouting.

"I... I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU! YOU'RE JUST MY IMAGINATION. THERE'S NOTHING THERE."

[ No... effect? ]

Taking a few breaths to calm herself, she slowly peered over the edge of her bed, only to feel a rush of wind whip by. What...
She turned to see the blanket HOVERING OFF THE GROUND.
JUST... WHAT...

And then it started giggling.

Carrie let out another shriek as she buried her face in her hands, too terrified to look.

[ Scream! +10 Fear ]

Shra showed up at Carrie's open window, this was her first house, her first time even in the human world, she would get all the fear she could from this child or fail miserably and tell no one.

Shra claimed up to the girl's bedroom window and easily held onto the side of her house. Shra raped her claw like hands on the window, first they just drummed on the glass, one finger after another. Then she ran them a long the glass, they made the sound a kin to nails on a chalk board. Right after that she kicked off of the house and glided to the tree across from the open window. She hid in the darkness and leafs quite well and waited to see if they child would come to the window.

Shra grinned from ear to ear, it worked! It really worked! The kid was coming to window, now Shra would give it her all.

She started to shake the tree branch she was on, she growled a low almost panther like growl, her eyes, the only things really showing through the leafs started to glow a bright white. Then one more final thing, she flapped her wings forward a little to make wind, it was light but enough to ruffle the curtains.

So Shra was to be an epic failure after all, she hung her head in shame. She thought about going back to school, she had failed, she sucked, why even bother. She stood ready to leave but for some reason she couldn't go. Her legs wouldn't move for her, her tail twitch. NO! Not this time, she wouldn't give up just yet, she could try once more right? Who would know anyways? Not this kid.

She made her way back over to the window and opened it slowly after she made sure that the kid was back in bed, she crawled in and hid behind the curtain. Shra watched the child, she seemed asleep but still Shra used all the caution in the world and made her way over to the kids bed where the stuffed toy was. Just one toy on a pedestal, it had to be important. She took it and with the same care and caution she went and placed it at the foot of the closet door, her tail held on to it's tail, hidden in the closet. She hit the wall to make a thump sound to jar the kid await.

Shra shook her tail a little as Carrie went to pick up the toy bird. As fast as she could, keeping her's and his tail hidden, she lifted the toy to the kids head height, held it there for just a moment then whipped it inside the closet with her and slam the door shut.

She held the knob just encase the kid was made of strong stuff and tried to get in.

Shar held fast, the door won't open. She knocked the elbows of her wings into the door to make noise and with her free hand she gathered up the kids cloths. Shra pressed herself to the wall by the door and pushed it half way open with one hand, at the same time she threw the cloths and toy out at the girl with the other, using the door as cover for her arms and hands, and closed it again.
