She snapped shots of the room and then one of the playpen.  Looking through the viewfinder, she gasped.  There was a figure in the playpen and Laura swore it was looking right at her.  She dropped the camera, but there was nothing there.  Looking into the viewfinder again, it seemed to be reaching for her.  She snapped off two more shots before retreating back to the door. Suddenly, the pain struck her again.

She started to make her way down the hall and then stopped.  It was dark outside.   Frantic, she looked at her watch, but it had stopped running.
“Man, I’m gonna get it now.”  She turned back, figuring she would cut through the nursery or whatever it was and she froze.

There was something, some formless mass, at the end of the hall, watching her.  Without thinking, she raised the camera and took a shot.  It roared and she covered her ears, thankfully that the camera was on a strap.
It began to race towards her and she screamed, turned, and ran.

She nearly missed the room with the window, but at the last second she realized it and threw herself towards it with the snarling raging mass at her heels.  
She hit the ground, rolled, and started to get to her feet when something grabbed her and for a moment smothered her in its embrace. She screamed and fainted.
