the red-eyed monster’s body tuned to dust and was blown away with the cool night breeze.
The blue-eyed monster stood up looking at Karen still watching from the window in one swift motion it jumped towards her forcing Karen backwards as it landed with a loud thud.
Karen slowly took a few more steps toward her door trying not to draw the monsters attention. Her hand was on the smooth metal knob when the monster focused its attention on her.
“Thank You”
The words resonated inside her head
“Huh is that you?” She asked the monster that was still standing unmoved on the other side of the room.
“Yes. This body doesn’t posses the capabilities of human speech. So I’m speaking with you through telepathy”
“Th…thank you for saving me”
Karen sank to the floor next to the door relief washed over her.
“It is I who should be thanking you. You helped me to defeat Roselyn now I can rest in peace”
“So the curse is broken?”
“Yes, Roselyn created the curse when she was burned at the stake for being tainted by the dark magics. She swore to destroy every child born to my father’s bloodline since he was the reason she was killed. When she killed me I finally understood about my father’s powers; it has been passed on through our blood. I vowed to stop her; thus, turning myself into this monster, I was also trapped within the watch. I have tried for centuries to stop her thanks to you I was able to end her curse for good. Good-bye Karen. Always trust the power within you.”
Another bright flash of light radiated out of the watch and the monster was gone.
“Karen, are you alright?”
Her father burst through the door nearly tripping over her as he rushed into the room.
“What on earth happened in here?”
He looked at the glass littering the floor
“Um...burglar,”
Karen gave a hopeful glance at her parents she couldn’t tell then that two monsters had just fought a battle in her room.
“Are you ok?”
Her father helped Karen to her feet before both her parents wrapped their arms around her holding her in their tight embrace.
“Yeah I’m fine”
She smiled looking down at the watch…12:05.
