A scarecrow in the back moving with every drop of of rain that pounded on the straw.Then before knew it I was ten feet away from the door. Then my hand reached for the handle the cold wet metal touched my hand. The door was quarter way open then a half way finally I was petrified by the look of it. I started walking down the long hallway there was a slight scratching noise, I moved closer and closer then "BOO!" it was my friend Maya. So of course I said "That is all you got" then she said "It was worth a shot". Then BOOM someone had dropped something and they were very close by! So we went outside to get a plan then from the tallest tower came something terrifying it sounded like a witch. So after getting are plan we opened the door we took five steps then (like magic) the door locked. Petrified Maya said "Was that just me or did the door actually lock?!?!" Then we saw a flash go across the room then again and again. Finally, we realized it got closer every time it crossed the room. We tried to hold it in put the scream came out! There was a staircase near by so we ran to the top. At the top there was perfectly new furniture."Somebody is definitely living here" Maya said. "But who?" I asked. "I mean look at this place the wallpaper is all stained gargoils every where" Maya nodded. Then like it was right in front of us something yelled "Get out!" So we both screamed our heads of. We new we could not go back outside (cause the door was locked) for one thing we new was that we could run so that's just what we did! We went back downstairs avoiding the front hallway ,threw the kitchen we screeched to a stop (very quietly) someone was standing on the other side. They must of just got home because we had been screaming....a lot. So we crept closer and closer then they started to turn around. Then Maya whispered "Oh no now what do we do" so I said "We get the heck out of here". So we ran out of the kitchen but they seamed to be following us. So we tried the door it was unlocked so we went out but just then somebody pulled in the driveway so we went back in. Maya saw a door so she pulled on my arm to the door and we were free. So we biked home as fast as we could when we got there we told our mom and dad everything. They were just so happy we were home. But whats the big deal we got home 2:30 in the morning!!
