[ WP ] the monster in the closet finally lures the child into the darkness , only to realize something is very very wrong

`` Be careful out there'', that were her last words to me when i left. 
 I can still remember how I laughed at her, my beloved wife, when she warned me of the dangers of hunting children. 
 
 What could they do to me after all? 
 
 They were little human children, so small, so fragile. No claws or long teeth to hurt me. This was an easy job. 
 
 What could they do to me after all? 
 
 At nighttime I snuck into the bedroom of Chris and hid in his closet. 
 When the sun started rising I fell asleep, dreaming of the horrible things I was going to do with Chris. 
 ________________________________________________________________ 
 
 `` Good night honey. I love you.'' `` Night mum. I love you too.'' that was my signal. We were finally alone. I waited a few minutes to be sure the mother had left. 
 
 `` Hey'' I whispered, `` Hey Chris!'' I was using my nicest voice, almost singing. 
 `` Is there someone? Who's talking?'' he asked. He was scared, I could feel it, I could almost taste it. Excitement rushed through me, I was about to eat my first own human child. 
 
 `` Come here, I have something really cool to show you.'' `` What do you have? Rabbits?'' The boy asked, not that afraid anymore. If just he knew what I was going to do with him. `` Yeah, you guessed it. Baby rabbits to be precise. Come here, I'm in the closet and you can pet the baby rabbits if you want. Just come here.'' 
 
 I had him, there was nothing that could save him now. I heard how he got up and slowly walked to the closet. It was about to happen. He opened the door and came in. 
 `` Quick, close the door so the baby rabbits dont escape!'' I told him to seal his fate. He turned around to close the door. I put my fingers around his neck, and then turned him around to see the fear on his face. I was told that it would be the best part of the hunt, seeing the fear on their faces right before they died. 
 
 But I didnt see anything in his eyes. In fact I was n't even able to see into his eyes, because they were closed. 
 `` Oped your eyes boy!'' I demanded, `` Let me look into your eyes!''. 
 He shook his head, whimpering. 
 `` Fine, I'll just eat you like you are now. There is no way you escape your fate.'' 
 
 I struck out to slit his throat with my long claws. But there were no claws. It was a cute little paw. But that was n't possible. I had big hands with long claws, no paws. Chris finally opened his eyes. But instead of fear I saw joy. I did n't understand. I was a scary monster. What had changed? 
 `` You are a cute rabbit, are n't you? ``, Chris asked. Rage filled me, after all I was definitely not a rabbit and not cute! I tried to snatch at his face, I could n't just let him insult me. But I no longer had control over my body. 
 Chris held a mirror infront of me, `` See, that's how cute you are''. 
 
 My rage aprubtly became something else. Something I never thought I'd feel. 
 I saw something in the mirror, but that was n't me. It was impossible. I looked into the eyes of a rabbit. A huge, white rabbit. 
 
 `` I'm going to bed now my friend. We can play a bit tomorrow.'' Chris said and left the closet, closing the door and leaving me behind in the darkness. I had lost the control over my body. So that's how my life was going to end. 
 I heard the fairy-tales about that magic power children possess. I never believed them. The power to alter reality and to beat us?'Imagination' they called it. 
 Looks like i have been wrong all the time. Slowly but surely my memory started fading and I started losing consciousness. 
 
 `` Be careful out there''. If i just had listened.
