So, I wrote a short story for a school project and wanted to write a story about it.
Plot Idea: A young boy (M/C) is terrified of his night terrors and deals with them every night but slowly the terrors don't seem so violent, but maybe even friendly? Soon the boy and the NT become friends that only meet in the dead of night... but what happens when (M/C)'s mom finds out about these friends and gives M/C medication to get rid of these new friends?

(Story Below)
It was the dead of night, or so I assumed… I was on my bed, it was absolutely silent around me and I assumed I just woke up for no reason again as always, so I didn't really care, eager to fall back asleep and get back to the dream I was in. As I feel myself fading into a state of unconsciousness I feel something heavy, like hands, pressing down beside my feet. My body tenses up and I suddenly feel frozen, feeling the weight of the person's hands beside my feet get heavier, my feet now physically going down with the weight of the person. I quickly opened my eyes and tried to see the person but nothing was there… I realized I was on my back and the bathroom light was off… It didn't seem like a crazy change, but for the last few days I had fallen back into my fear of the dark and required the bathroom light on to sleep, but now it was off and the door was semi-closed when it normally is completely swung open so the light would flood the room and hallway. I try to sit up but my body seemed stuck to the bed as I could hear the person crawling around the bed, under the bed, and behind it. My body was trembling without moving as I could hear exactly where it was, knowing it was just trying to scare me. I attempted to say something but nothing came out. My eyes darted around my room but nothing was there but the darkness of my room. I looked desperately at my window which was half-covered by black-out curtains. I was able to see faint moonlight above a large tree and the flickering street light. I tried to lift my arms out from beneath the blanket and allow myself to sit up but my body seemed too heavy to move… I realized it was the person's hands pressing against me, restraining me as it got closer. I then looked at my open doorway into the hall, seeing a large dark figure near the stairs. Its body was slim and large, its height could easily be 7 ½ feet tall as it was bent over in the hallway, and it had high ceilings… I looked fearfully at the being, its face was blank with nothing on it but I knew it saw me, the person around my bed getting closer… I could feel its breath as the large being in the hall tried to get into my room, its giant body becoming stuck in the door, though its elongated neck and head were already at my bedside, breathing ragged, heavy breaths as if it was breathing my scent in so it would never lose me again. I was now beginning to be able to move, I was able to move my fingers a little bit and I slowly lifted my head up, the being in the hall now moving at superhuman speed to get out of the door and out onto the roof window behind it. The person wrapped around my bed pressed its weight angrily at the end of my bed before disappearing entirely and not moving anymore. I sit up fully now, sweat running down my face and my shallow breathing became the only sound. I break down crying as I try to get over what happened… I was too scared to sleep but I knew I still had hours of the night to go. I was too scared to get out of bed but I wanted to run to my mother and father immediately and tell them what had happened, or call the police and tell them what had happened. My body was trembling as I laid back down, trusting they were gone for good. I lay my head on the pillow, laying on my back as I let out two long breaths and trying to close my eyes… As I drifted to sleep this time, I could hear the breathing of the large figure, but I didn't wake up at that time… I woke up later to my bedroom light back on and nothing had seemed out of the ordinary so I decided to get ready for school because that's what I needed to do. As I started walking to my doorway I noticed the roof window was open fully and the lock was broken…
