The night was dark as always, but this time not a single star dotted the sky. As Ashton Fitzgerald sat on the couch watching TV, she heard a shriek.

"Aaaaaaaaah!" Selina shrieked, Ashton just sat there and ate some chips, for Selina only existed in the TV. It was 3.00 AM, early for Ashton to sleep, as she usually slept at 5.00 in the morning.

Ashton watched as the masked assassin peered down at Selina, who had a knife over her neck. He leaned closer towards here as she was pressed hard onto the floor. Just as Selina eyed a stray gun the masked man hadn't noticed, there were police sirens and the masked killer, distracted, was shot by Selina herself, who now breathed a sigh of relief, her dress smeared with the blood of the masked killer lying lifeless above her.

The credits rolled, Ashton changed the channel, looking for another movie. That's when there was a howl, and this time, it was definitely not coming from the TV.

Ashton's head jerked towards the stairs, her brown hair whipping around. She looked as far as she could to the top of the stairs that led to the second floor, but saw nothing. She was sure the howl had come from somewhere upstairs.

Slowly, Ashton rose from her seat and walked up the stairs, looking around for anything that might have made the howl. Soon she heard a crash as she passed by her younger brother's bedroom. Surprised, she opened the door to her brother's bedroom, only to find her brother sleeping soundly.

Ashton kept on checking each room for the cause of the crash and howl, soon she had checked every inch of her house except... the attic. Climbing up the ladder to her attic, she checked her watch, 4:11 AM, time sure was moving slowly.

Walking around in the attic at 4:11 AM might seem scary to others, but for Ashton, it was exciting. She examined each old doll she found, with plastic blue eyes and dirty white dresses. She even found an old funeral gown hidden in a big chest. There was also an old toy car which still had batteries inside and other old things.

As she was walking around, she saw a hole in the roof above her, spilling some light into the dusty attic. The morning sun had begun to rise, but her family was still asleep. She studied the hole, which means something must have fallen with a crash inside her attic, and began searching around for the item when she felt the attic darkening.

She looked up, and saw, to her surprise, that the hole was repairing itself.
