Knutik felt relaxed enough to leave his hiding spot within the walls. For the moment he just hovered by the wall, holding his hands close to his chest looking unsure of what to do. He's been getting the nagging urge to scare people again, it truly was something he didn't have control over. He can go quite a while without scaring humans and feeding on their fear, but one time he went without doing so for too long despite the negative side effects it had on him, and he ended up snapping.... an entire school bus with children in half. 

Yes he's a scare spirit, but one that only likes to spook people playfully. Sadly that doesn't produce the fear he feeds on. The only kind of fear that sustains him is the fear for their lives, the kind of fear that can traumatize and mentally scar an individual and it often involves physically harming that individual..... he doesn't like it. He never use to be so reluctant to scare people half to death before, he never use to be so shy either, in fact he had the best time of his existence during the dark ages. But that's a story for another time; right now he just hovered by the wall, lost in himself.
