Natali [406]

Answer:

“I didn’t think the house was actually haunted until I went inside and saw the horrible things,” I thought. I was so scared when I was inside, but I was also relieved that I could have made it out alive. I asked myself what I was going to do and I was not going to go to the police because they would not believe me. I needed a plan and I needed it fast. Then an idea popped into my head. “ Of Course! I can’t believe I didn’t think of it in the first place” I went running stepping on some red, orange, and yellow leaves since it was fall and I needed to go to Luna’s place, but the leaves slowed me out and I kept on slipping, so I ran on the grass and I was almost there. I was at Luna’s place and I rang the doorbell waiting for her to answer. She opened the door and I didn’t give her time to tell me to come in or hi because what I needed was urgent. “ Whoa! What’s the rush?” she asked. “ I need a huge favor and the only person I knew that had it was you, sooo can I borrow your knife that you got from your dad before he died.” She was looking at me like she had lost a game to a person who cheated and they believed that person. It took awhile for her to answer and she finally said “ I don’t know” she said worried “ That knife is special and well you know it’s my dads and I can’t just give it to someone.” I was disappointed when she said that, but I was still going to try and convince her. “Come on please. I need it and I promise that I won’t lose it, get a single scratch on it, or give it to the wrong hands.” “ Fine, fine but you better keep your promise” she said smiling at me.

She was giving it to me and I really appreciated that she did not ask me why I needed it or else she would have not given it to me and would have told me to go visit the hospital. I was back to the haunted house and I was scared to go back inside but then I remembered I had the knife Luna gave me. I am so glad her dad had it because this knife is supposed to keep spirits away. I was right there on the front porch and I was putting my hands on the door knob opening the door, but I took it away. I couldn’t open it because I was just too scared and the things I saw were horrible and I don’t know if I was ready to confront them. I kept thinking positive and then when I saw I had opened the door. I put my foot inside and then my other one and then I went inside. I was walking inside the house holding Luna’s knife like a gun and SLAM! went the door. I turned around really fast and saw no one and that was when I was really scared. I put the knife back on the sheath and tried to open the door again, but it was locked. My heart was pounding really fast because I was scared “ Come out! I know you are here and I am not scared of you!” I was coming in closer and going upstairs, but there was nothing, so I just kept on searching. There had been nothing scary so far, so I wasn’t really that scared anymore. I heard a noise and it was like a laughing noise and I knew that laugh from anywhere. “ Ok ok come out JAMES and MARGARET.” James and Margaret came out holding their laughter, but at the same time looking guilty. “ Why did you do that? I was so scared.” I said. “ Oh come on you didn’t believe us so we just had to do a little prank.” said James. Margaret said “ You’ve got to admit it was pretty funny.” I did think it was funny from their point of view and I laughed. We all went outside of the house laughing at the prank those two had pulled off and I was actually glad that the house was not haunted after all.

The End.

Hope this helps.

Have a great day. =D
