What happened to me last night was unbelievable!
Around 12:30 in the morning I was reading a book and then dozed off for a little bit and woke up around 3:30. That is not the horrible thing that I am talking about so hold your deviant horses. I got up to brush my teeth and to turn off any lights that I had left on in the rooms beside mine, then I went back to bed.
While I was laying on my bed I heard and felt the springs in my matress moving. Not by their own accord mind you, something was moving them!
My first thought was "oh, great. there is a mouse beneath my matress."
I have very little fear of mice, i am afraid of gooshing them and getting their guts on me should I accidentaly step on one but other than that there is no fear of them, so I decided to let him be till morning.
My bed is one of those high ones that have the headboard on the side so it can press against the wall and it also holds a daybed underneath with a small gap between the two. I tapped on my bed to shake the mouse off onto the bed below mine so that he would not bug me through the night, I heard a small plop land on the daybed. I shrugged it off and went to sleep.
I did not get much sleep, I awoke at about 5 or 5:15. When I opened my eyes I saw a large black thing beside me! Your thinking what I thought-Rat!
I let out,suprisingly, not a high shriek but a 'whu-aa-da-aa-guhh"(or something of the like) in a regular tone merely having more energy than my normal one.
Quickly I struck the black mass off the bed and into the middle of the floor!
I watch it while continueing to flail my arms and legs about in case there was any other ones on my bed. I watched it bounce back up as quickly as it landed and dashed off.
It went straight into the darkness of my room while I sat and listened for it and contemplated what I was to do. I heard it rustle the plastic bags on the floor at the foot of my bed. I stood up to see over the edge and scare it away, it dashed back to the end of my room behind my computer.
The light was all the wayin the middle of the room and since I had no intention of leaving myself vulnerable, I refused to go turn on the light. Instead, I began to walk on top of the blue tub in my room beside my bed and reached the door with ease.
The door lead to one of the extra rooms, where I sat on the bed with the light on watching the door, cursing the rat, the matress, and planning how to get rid of the rodent.
I continued to sit on the matress for fifteen minutes, my dad would not be up until 6 for me to send him in, so I kept a vigilance on the door.
Then there was banging on the door! It was trying to get out! Right before I was going to rush down the stairs and wake my dad, I noticed the paws that it had stuck out from underneath the door.
They were white paws. I rose up from the bed and cautiously took a step forward. The paws that were protruding from the bottom of the door were white and fluffy.
I said "Tibby is that you?"
I heard from behind the door a soft "Meow"
I opened the door and out, quick as a flash, sprung Tibby-my dad's girlfriend's cat. She must have snuck in my room( aplce I do not allow her to be) when I went to brush my teeth, and then was shut in when I came back. She likes to curl up on the daybed beneath mine since it is a comfortable hiding place and then jumped on my bed to sleep beside me, which she usually does with my dad and Sabrina.
I stayed up until they awoke and told them the whole story. I refused to go into my room until my dad lifted up my matress and looked at it and the daybed to ascertain if there were any traces of a rat just in case. There were none.
So that was what happened last night. From now on I will be checking underneath my bed everynight before I go to sleep.
