From Anna's POV:
Anna is tossing and turning in her pink canopied bed. The clock on her bedside table says 3:00 am. Suddenly, she sits straight up, her pink pajama top and shorts damp with sweat.
She switches on her lamp with the ruffled shade and glances at it. So thirsty. Where's my water bottle? Damn it.
Sighing, she throws off the comforter and gets up, looking on her floor. Her water bottle was always on the table or floor and now it was gone. She got down on her hands and knees. She pulls up the bed ruffle to check for the bottle and holds back a scream.
Something looked at her. It looked like eyes.
She let the bed ruffle drop and took a deep breath. Then, she peeked under her bed again. Nothing. Nothing was there.
Damn dreams.
She went to the restroom and as she was flushing the toilet, she noticed her water bottle sitting next to her favorite perfume.
She never left it there, but too tired to keep wondering, she grabbed it and went back to bed but didn't turn off the light. Instead, she got out her cell phone and looked up the romance story she'd been reading. Trashy romance. No one knew she read it except for Carter.
She was feeling better and really getting into the romance story when her phone vibrated around 5:00 am. It was a text from Carter.
"You up?"
She pushed a few buttons quickly and sent back her reply. She was an expert texter.
"Yes. What's wrong?" Carter never texted this early unless something was up.
"Something was in my room in the middle of the night. Around 3:00 am. I swear to God, Anna, shit is getting...."
"Weird?"
"Yeah."
"It was in my room too."
Carter's response was full of angry and frustrated emojis. "That's just great."
"Don't worry. I'll figure something out."
"You don't have experience with this, Anna!"
"I have a little."
"A little won't get rid of this demon or whatever the friggin' hell it is."
"Relax. It can't do much."
