The Old House on the Hill

I went trick-or-treating with my best friends Sofi, Angela, and Ronisa . Our pillowcases were full of candy, and it was getting late, so my friends wanted to go home

I wanted some more candy so I turned to my friends and said, “Let’s knock on a few more doors and then head for home.”

They were worried because they thought it was already too late. “Let’s go home now,” they said to me. I told them not to worry because we could take a shortcut through the old forest.

So after a few more houses, I took my friends to the path that went through the forest. We walked for about a half an hour and then, suddenly, I felt very strange. I couldn’t remember the way! It was dark and foggy. We were lost. And to make matters worse, it started to rain. And then, it started to pour. Lightning lit up the sky and it had a little light then everything went dark again . We wandered around in the rain for over two hours. We were tired . And then, at about midnight, I saw an old abandoned house on a hill.

“I think we’ll have to spend the night in that old house and wait till morning,” I said.


My friends didn’t think it was a good idea, but they were cold and wet, so they agreed. We walked up the old wooden steps to the front door. The door creaked open and we went inside, sat down, and started to eat a chocolate bar, when the door closed by itself. Everybody looked at the door. We had a little scared but we still eat our candy.The house was had 2 floor. It was dirty and very old. Some part of the wall was break. It danger to stayed here too long. When we were talking, we saw a shadow at the second floor.
