"The Demon in the Walls"

It was a dark and stormy night in the small town of Millfield. The wind howled through the trees, rattling the windows of the old, creaky house where Jenny and her family lived.

Jenny was a young girl with long, curly brown hair and bright green eyes. She loved nothing more than curling up with a good book, but tonight she was feeling restless. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

As the storm grew stronger, the power flickered and went out completely. Jenny's parents tried to reassure her that everything was fine, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

That's when she heard it. A faint scratching sound coming from the other side of the wall. It was barely audible over the sound of the storm, but it was there.

Jenny tried to convince herself that it was just a branch scraping against the house, but the sound grew louder and more persistent. She couldn't ignore it any longer.

Trembling with fear, Jenny got out of bed and crept to the wall. The scratching sound was now so loud that she could feel the vibrations through her fingertips.

She pressed her ear to the wall and listened. It sounded like something was trying to claw its way through the plaster and into her room.

Jenny stumbled backwards, her heart racing. She knew she had to wake her parents, but she was too scared to move.

That's when the scratching stopped. The sudden silence was even more terrifying than the sound itself. Jenny could hear her own breathing and the pounding of her heart.

Then came the laughter. It was a low, menacing chuckle that sent shivers down Jenny's spine. She knew it was coming from the other side of the wall.

Jenny's parents burst into the room, having heard her scream. They searched the house but found nothing. There was no sign of an intruder or anything that could have caused the scratching sound.

Jenny tried to convince herself that it was just her imagination, but the laughter echoed in her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching her.

The next few nights were uneventful, but Jenny couldn't shake the feeling of unease. She started to hear strange noises in the middle of the night, like footsteps in the hallway and whispers outside her window.

Then one night, she woke up to find a figure standing at the foot of her bed. It was a tall, dark figure with glowing red eyes. Jenny tried to scream, but no sound came out.

The figure reached out and touched her forehead, sending a jolt of electricity through her body. Jenny passed out.

When she woke up, she was in the hospital. Her parents were sitting by her side, looking worried.

Jenny tried to tell them about the figure, but they dismissed it as a nightmare. They thought she had simply been sleepwalking and had fallen down the stairs.

But Jenny knew it was more than that. She could still feel the electric shock of the figure's touch on her forehead.

After she was discharged from the hospital, Jenny became obsessed with finding out what was haunting her. She spent hours researching online, reading books about the supernatural, and talking to anyone who would listen.

Finally, she stumbled upon a legend about a demon that haunted the town of Millfield. It was said to have been summoned by a group of teenagers who had dabbled in dark magic.

The demon had taken possession of one of them and had been wreaking havoc on the town ever since.

Jenny knew that she had to face the demon if she wanted to be free of its hold. She gathered a group of friends and set out to perform a ritual to banish the demon.

They went to the spot where the demon was said to have
