“Let’s go in , it will be fun and besides what’s so scary about it anyways ” says Mila
“But what if...”, I say as the door creaks open.
“We’re getting closer and closer “
“Come closer” a voice says coming through the door
“We shouldn’t go in what if...” I really didn’t want to.
“No what if’s let’s just go in already”.
I take a big gulp, the wind blowing past my face , the deafening lighting ringing in my ears. We step on the first step , then the next and the next. “We’re here” I say clutching my fists together, “here goes nothing”, I say to myself. CREAK ,the floor groans as I’m stepping into the house.
BANG ! the door shuts behind us “ I don’t think this is a good idea “ Mila says nervously.
“ Who’s talking now Mila… Mila,” she had gone, vanished.

Then all of a sudden an old record player on my left started to play, I felt a hand touch me, “ M- Mila “ I said stuttering my words,
“No” a voice whispered in my ear.
I ran as fast as I could away from the record player, I ran up the old misplaced stairs.
It was strange , I see a family, two kids and two parents dancing happily, playing happily together ,but something didn’t seem right, I took a step closer, the floor creaks. They looked at me with beady white eyes and all ran towards me, I quickly ran down the stairs and into the cupboard. I found some old dusty rugs then I start to cover myself in the rugs.
“You can run but you can’t hide,'' a voice says.
Five minutes pass by, It’s clear, I think to myself but I hesitate to get up,
I dash straight to the old door and turn the rusty handle , but it won’t open I keep trying and trying but nothing opens.
“No” a voice whispered in my ear.

“Mila where are you” I said starting to worry.
“Get Help” she said at last, her voice broke into blank silence.
“Get Help” she said at last, her voice broke into blank silence.
“This has to work “ I say as I’m pulling it “ok, 3,2,1 “
BANG I fell but still nothing would open. So I get up, I have wood chips and blood all over my hands.
Then I hear a voice, “HELP, HELP” I quickly turn around

After I got into the house I explained everything to my Nana over and over until she believed me.
So I quickly looked for a way to break out, then I found a window , I punched at it, the glass shattering it everywhere and making my hand bleed even more.
I leaped out of the window ran straight to my Nana’s house opening the door with the last of my strength.

She finally called the Police to come, we ran as fast as we could to the house but when we got there everything was normal the house was normal, the family was normal with perfect clothes hair and shoes and acting normal, but there was an extra member to the family, It was Mila I thought to myself, this can’t be true it, it just can’t be, then the police said ,“Excuse me you have called a false alarm never do this again, this could have been serious”
As we were leaving the family looked at me and said, “ You can’t hide for long now”. Their words sent a shiver down my spine
Could I hide for long I wondered.....
Could I hide for long I wondered.....
“Sorry officer it won’t happen again” my Nana said with embarrassment on her face.
“But” I said hoping the officer would believed me
“NO But’s!!” they both replied.
