One fall day, I was riding my bike home from school with my friends. We were riding across an old part of town when it started to rain. It was pouring so hard that we were soaked instantly. Then it began lightning. We knew we had to seek shelter, but the only place close was the old Tjaden Mansion. Rumor has it that it is haunted. As I pedaled my bike closer, I noticed a pumpkin patch growing in the back of the mansion.
We walked slowly up to the creepy lawn. I let my friends go in first. As we were startling to find the lights, We stopped all at the sight of a light on in the old bathroom. I told one of my friends to go up there to see what was up there. So she did! Wow we were creepeed out. As she slowly made it up there. There was a knocking at the door I jumped. It was constantly knocking very fast. One of my friends look out the peep hole together suprise it was nothing! And on the second hand we couldnt find our friend that when up stairs! I really wanted to leave. I ran outside as fast as I could with my friend following behind me. We stoped and gasped. The pumpkin patch wasn't there! A grave yard lay in it's place. We both gasp for air, Standing so still. I could feel my heart thumping. We both walk on the grave yard. And we saw a grave that said "Alexis Miller with love and peace". We couldent believe it! She didn't die she just went up stairs. This was way to crazy. Me and my friend went inside as clam as possible. We sit down in the cold floor. I murmer to my friend "I really wish we were home", She nods silently. I lift my head slowly.
I heard my friend sream so loud. She got picked up by her hair! Now my head is looking to the ceiling and eyes wide open. She sreamed way more than she was about to die. She cracked her head and her eyes started to turn red. I sreamed my head off, running like a chicken. I stumbled on the porch stairs. I used my hands and push my body into the soft grass. I watch the door if i could see anything. I felt safe no sreaming, no nothing. I started to close my eyes, I was so tired. Just when I lay my eyes closed, My hands still proping my body up. All of a sudden I heard two sreams one from the bathroom and one in the livingroom. My eyes were wide open. The windows cracked. I sreamed "Who's there!". Now the screams in the house was my friends, Sreaming for my help. I ran inside as fast as I could. When I opened the door, A whole bunch of fog and red lights. I see my friend is still on the ceiling, By her hair. And the red lights and fog turned into fire!
I ran to the tiny spots where there was no fire. And grabed my friends legs and pulled her legs down as hard as I could. It wouldent budge. I tolled her "I'll be back I have to save Alexis upstairs or else I wont be to reach her if the fire takes up the stairs. If flames come at you duck them". She nodded scared.
I ran past the fire. I hope I wouldn't get stuck up stairs. Hopfully the fire wouldn't go on the stairs. I ran to the old bathroom, And swined my head back and forth as fast as I could looking for Alexis. I couldn't see her! I looked up and not very suprised to see her up n the ceiling. I jumped and held on to her feet. She fell to the ground. I was coughing because of all the smoke in my face was .
When I opened the door, Flames came jumping at me. I shut the door sending my body to the back of the bathroom. My friend was worried. I looked in the back of the bathroom. I yelled "The Window!". My friend tryed opening the window. I looked back at the door, Flames were creeping under the door. She couln't open the window. I tryed my hardest for my life, But it wouldn't budge one bit. I said because its old and the window was rusty. We were looking all over the room for somthing to smash the window. I looked in the sink cabnets. I yelled "Sluge Hammer!". The flames were blazing at our heels. I tryed smashing the window, And it wouldn't work! As ears were trolling down my face. Alexis grabed the hammer and smahed the window. Glass shattered to the ground. We both jumped out the window. And there was no roof. We both sreamed. It was higher then you think. I landed on my arm. I think it broke it but i had to get my other friend inside. I saw the blaze and ran. I grabed her feet and she came down. We both ran. I let her go first. And all of a sudden The secound floor came crashing down in to ashes. I got out right in time. I fell into the soft grass. I had a big black and red wound. I cryed and my fiends helped me home.
By the time we were all home my mom was helping my wound. I sighed and said in my mind "What a night."
