Eighteen year old Cammy stirred in her bed and opened her eyes slowly, affixing them on the shadow which stood about three meters away from her. She had just moved back to the US from Europe and her boyfriend and her were staying with her grandparents. She was staying in the upstairs room, which was separated from her boyfriend's room by a large walk through closet. He slept with the adjoining door open on the other side of the closet and would sometimes creep into her room to lie down beside her. Most of the time she would be dead tired and she promised herself she would scare him the next few nights.
As usual, the boy creeped in to lie beside her to hug her in her sleep, which she always liked. he moved slowly and stealthily. She lay down in the bed with her lights off, glimpsing the only source of light, which came from the other side of the adjoining door. She smiled to herself, just thinking about her scream. Her boyfriend came closer to her and lay on the bed and stretched himself. 'John,' she said. 'Yes?' came the loud reply from the other side of the adjoining door. She jerk her head back, realizing that the reply had not come from her room, but from the other room. Her hand went straight for the lamp switch instead as she screamed at the same time. Knocking the lamp down accidentally, she fell out of the bed with it, her hand still searching for the light switch. By the time she got the lamp on, John was already in the room. She looked around and saw no one else but him there.
'Were you just in here?' She asked panic. Confused, he said that he had heard her call him and that he had rushed into the room to find her on the floor. 'What's the matter?' He was shocked when he looked at her. 'What's all this make up on your face? Are you trying to frighten me?' She said that she had seen someone creeping up on her and that she had thought it was him. He said he had been in his room for the past two hours doing an essay for one of his lectures. She was shocked beyond words. She got up, still shacking, and went to pull the comforter off the bed. To their horror, they saw ashes on the bed beside where Cammy had been lying earlier.
