I was walking down the creaky steps of old Crimson’s house. “I wish I didn’t let Hera, Dora and all my other so called friends dare me to do this.” I thought. When they asked me if I wanted to play Truth or Dare, I should have said no, but of course I said yes because I wanted to show that even if I was new at school, I wasn’t boring. Now thanks to myself, I am in this old man’s house on HALLOWEEN FOR THE 2 HOURS! Suddenly all the things I heard about old man Crimson flew back in my head. He killed his wife, murdered his children, and gave anyone who stepped into his house, bad luck. Outside, I saw Hera, Dora, and the others cheering for me. I suppressed a weak smile.
“Ahh!” I yelled screaming my head of as I was coming out of the living room. I went to the kitchen to catch my breath. In the kitchen I thought about what just happened to me. “I was going up the stairs trying to find the bathroom when suddenly; I saw the words GET OUT!! Then behind me I heard a laugh…
I turned around quickly as I heard the laugh. But when I looked at where the laugh came from, a ghostly figure dressed like an evil clown was roaming around the kitchen. I tried scream but all of my words stayed in my throat. The ghostly figures said spookily get out now! Now, I am pretty tough for a 11 year old, I am not afraid of bugs, bees, flies, or any of that other stuff that people are afraid of, but two things that scared me a lot were ghosts, and clowns! I rubbed my eyes and ran outside in the living room. When I sat down on the dusty sofa something caught my attention. On the floor there was a degree which showed that Old Man Crimson was certified to be a clown! I walked over to the degree when I saw a picture next to it showing a picture that looked exactly like that ghostly figure that I saw in the kitchen! I then saw some blood leading to the attic, and I had an idea. I thought that maybe Hera, Dora and the others would be my friend if I became famous for capturing a ghost. I desperately needed friends, and these were the people I wanted to be friends with. So I took out my phone, a bat that was laying there, and followed the blood. “Ah Ha” I yelled as I opened the door where I found all my maybe friends over there. They were all smiling at me while I was speechless. Hera ushered me to sit with her, and she explained everything. She said “you passed the test, which we use on everyone if you want to be our friend. You have to stay in this so called haunted house and if you come out then you are not brave enough. So you passed!”
Then a thought suddenly struck me. “So how did you know that I was afraid of clowns and ghosts?” I asked Hera frowned at me and Dora said “ we didn’t know that, but did you see my grandpa’s degree, he was a clown!” “But what about the ghost.” I asked her little bit scared. Hera said “we didn’t have any ghosts”, while the others nodded. But just then we all heard a crackling laugh. “Who did that” I asked frightened. Hera stuttered saying “nno bbody did that Tara!” We all screamed and ran down the stairs and out the door!
