Sally lay in her bed, curling and uncurling her toes, her hands clenched around the sheets that were pulled up to her nose. This year was the year. The year that Sally would finally see him. The Easter Bunny.
She pinched her cheeks routinely, staring up at the ceiling with high hopes. Her childish excitement could barely be consumed and she would occasionally giggle to herself. Oh, she was diabolical.
It was 3 in the morning. She couldn't- Wait- what was that? There it was again. It was a heavy thump. Her parents didn't walk like that. And her baby brother? Well, he couldn't walk period.
Another thump. Sally carefully pushed back her thick princess blankets and dangled her feet above the floor.
A gasp, a choked back cry, and a strangled sigh. She slid off of her bed and made the long trek to her door and peeked through. Nothingness. Just the lone light coming from the nightlight plugged into the wall. Her palms were getting clammy and she rubbed them n her shirt.
Easter bunny. Think of the Easter bunny. Her slippered feet shuffled across the wooden floors to her parent's room and she twisted the metal knob. The door swung open on its own accord and Sally held her breath.
A hunched over... rabbit thing... stood next to the king sized bed. It turned its furry head over to look in Sally's general direction. It was shaking, and tufts of fuzz were missing, showing ugly gray bald spots. Its pupils were dilated. Its small, bulgy eyes blood shot. Blood dripped down its chin and its clawed hands reached up to clutch its chest. Sally stood, staring as it stretched out its hand to her, two round robin eggs sitting in the palm of its hand.
"Easter bunny?"

Wow this is an awesome story. You did a great job of developing Sally's character. Very good plot. Really nice job.
That bunny thing is really scary. I can totally picture this little excited girl trying to find the one thing that would probably have a heart attack if i saw it. Your writing really gave insight into the Sally's thoughts and feelings. Did the bunny eat her parents?
my god, you need some new antidepressants. i just want to know why the easter bunny would eat her parents? i mean hes a freaking bunny! oh and a diabolical little girl? i don't know abut you but its been a while since I've met a devilish little girl. well actually no, they're all devils, thats why i avoid them, and thats why it been a while since I've met one. yea, so while this story is really freaky, its really well written.
