6Brian hated the new house. Ever since his family moved in he could tell
7there was something not right about it. He especially hated his room. It
8was an old dusty old room that smelled like death. Their were cobwebs in
9his closet and the room smelled like many years gone by.

13The first few nights in the house came and went without any events.
14On the eighth night though Brian was awoken by a noise eminating
15from the closet. It sounded like a big dog was trapped inside. All
16Brian could hear was clawing and low grunts and what sounded like a
17big dog walking in circles in the closet. Brian cowered under the
18sheets afraid to peer out. After ten minutes or so the sounds went
19away. Brian lay awake the entire night.

23In the morning Brian told his parents about what had happened. They
24just told him that it's normal. That old houses have a way of
25making sounds like that. Brian didn't believe them though. He knew
26what he heard wasn't just a house. It was something else. Something
27unnartural.

31The next night Brian was awoken to the sounds again. As Brian lay
32under his sheets he heard what sounded like sniffing and pawing
33coming from the closet. He also heard something else this time.
34What sounded like the sharpest fangs tearing apart meat. He also
35heard chewing. As Brian peered out from under his sheets he saw a
36pool of blood forming under the door. He quickly leaped out of bed
37and down the hall to his parent's room. ``You've got to come quick
38to my room and look!'' His parents slowly lumbered to his room.
39``Their, in my closet!'' His Dad looked in the room but didn't see
40anything. He even went to the closet and looked in the door but
41didn't see anything.

49Today was Brian's Dad's birthday. Brian and his mom went to the
50local mall and picked out some nice presents to give to him. His
51mom bought him a toolset that had wrenches and screwdrivers and
52Brian got his dad a nice necklace. While Brian's dad was at work
53they made him his favorite meal and made a nice cake. Brian's dad
54really enjoyed his meal and wore the necklace all the time after
55that.

59Brian was a lot happier these days because he hadn't heard anything
60from the closet for a while.

64Another thing that happened is that Brian and his family decided to
65start raising rabbits. They had started with 5 five rabbits but now
66they had 9.

70One day Brian went outside to feed them and was shocked because
71there only 3 left. The fence had been broken into and their were
72large tracks.

76Soon after this, Brian started hearing noises from his closet again.
77It was the same as before. All Brian could do was cower under the
78sheets until the morning light returned.

82One dark and wintery night Brian was hiding under the blankets
83while he heard the rustling from his closet. As Brian shook and
84shivered the noises were growing louder and more violent. Suddenly
85he heard the creature burst forth! It shattered through the closet
86and crashed into the opposing wall. Brian was now paralyzed with
87fear. He dared not look out from his sheets. He could hear the
88creature walking towards him, its claws clacking on the floor. He
89could hear the beast sniff his sheets. Suddenly he felt the
90creature leap onto his bed. Through the weaving of his sheets he
91could see glowing red eyes and a large grimacing mouth full of
92fangs. But the most shocking thing of all is that he could just
93make out the glimmering of something hanging from the creatures
94neck in the moonlight. It was the necklace he bought his
95father!

99``You were always my child'', the creature snarled to him. ``And now I
100will give you the Dark Gift!'' ``After all like Father like son!'' The
101creature then bit Brian on the face and the transformation began.
