Alright, this is usually the first story i tell people mainly becasue it was so vivid and horrifying i slept under the covers up until a few years back. i don't remember how old i was (though i know i would have been over nine since my brother was born).

i had stayed up late to read a book (as i love reading) my mum had told me that she would come in and turn off the light when it was time for bed. i agreed and lay across my bed reading, about half way through the book i felt a breath on my cheek, i assumed it was my mum kicking me to bed so i got ready to complain that i hadn't finished. However when i looked up i didn't see my mum, i didn't see someone i knew. i saw a young girl around the same age as me. i could only see her head (it wasn't grousome, it was like thats all she wanted/needed me to see) she was facing a picture i had on the wall. It was of myself and my two brothers (i have since had many more siblings) Liam, and T.J. I still remember most of the details of her face, her skin was pale white and her hair so blonde it was almost white and was pulled back. She had blue eyes and her lips were pretty red (although some of that could just be my memory re-constructing things so i CAN remeber her, seeing as i was very young). I don't know if i stared at her for long or just long enough to absorb her looks before flying under the covers. i thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest, i wanted to scream for my Mum but i was too scared.

Looking back it doesnt sound that scary, but when your only ten-ish and its the first time you see something that shouldn't be there its horrifying. My mum never came in that night to kick me to bed, she fell asleep before she could. To this day that book scares me, i think its because it brings back the memory stronger. i refuse to read it (which is fine because at 17 i dont find the same books good). I will never forget her, and i only ever saw her once. kind of wish i knew why she showed herself to me, but i would never ask to know. Some things are better left a mystery.
