He/She woke up.....

She woke up to the sound of something breaking to the floor. It felt like it came from the kitchen. She went and saw the little duckling sculpture crashed to the floor. Somebody moved behind her. She turned but saw nothing.

 She went to her room; the lights had been turned on though she remembered turning them off. As she got back into bed, she could not pull the sheets over her. Yawning, she shifted to the other side and in the moonlight shining through the window, she saw the back of a dark shadowy figure. She rushed and switched on the lights but the bed was empty. She let out a breath. She peered out through the door and there was the shadow, its back towards her. It pointed to the kitchen, all the lights had somehow been turned on. When she didn't move, it pushed her straight to the kitchen right in front of the duckling sculpture on the shelf; apiece."But how?"she put a finger on it and the lights went out.

The next moment she was falling and landed somewhere real hard. A hand on her shoulder. She turned and screamed, then silence fell.
