Based on a true story
Survival
Walking into the creepy, gloomy, chilly room of the massive
horrifying castle I found the kitchen. Looking around I saw nothing
but plain walls. Hearing a noise I turned around. Suddenly there
was a girl in front of me! She had hair as black as the night, and
pale bony skin. Her eyes? Well they were black holes with blood
dripping from them! Quick as a flash I ran upstairs into the
bedroom and locked the door.
After a while had passed nothing more had happened so I
thought it was a dream, but the door handles started shaking.
Shaking like somebody was trying to get in! Perhaps it was that
strange, disturbing girl that was downstairs. I didn’t want to find
out.
I feel like a zombie, as if I am not alive. The door shakes again,
harder this time. BANG…THUD…
I curl up in the corner of the room. I shiver. I am so scared. I feel as
small as a mouse. The smell of danger and fear fill the air. Out of
nowhere a knife burnt through the door. It was covered in blood!
AHHHHHH HELP ME!
The knife slashed and cut through the wood like a razor.
Something warm was dripping on my arm. I looked down and saw
the bright blood, but where was it coming from? My mind was
racing. It’s her isn’t it? Slowly, I looked up from where I was
standing. Nobody was there. Nothing!
Frighteningly, I turned back to the door where I saw a piece of
paper that contained writing. I cautiously read the note…
You won’t escape, you won’t die easily, and I’m waiting to
make my move. Say goodbye to the world, goodbye to your
life! I dare you to look away, to not fight. Just give up. It
doesn’t matter what you do, I will get you!
I drop the note and stand up. I put my back to the damp, cold
wall so that I could see every place she could possibly be.
Thoughts fly through my head, will I survive? Will I defeat her? Why
is this happening to me? A whisper reaches me…
“Say hello little sister! I will kill you! You got too much attention from
mum and dad!
“Wh…what?!” I scream.
“Yes that’s right, now let’s get along.”
Someone walks into the room, but it is not the girl I saw earlier. It’s
Rosie. Rosie?
She runs to me and hugs me. “Oh I did miss you little sister, mum
and dad left me here to die. You can’t trust them! You can’t trust
anyone!”
“Oh Rosie!” I put my arms around her. “Let’s get your face all
cleaned up, it looks very red.”
We walk to the creepy, eerie bathroom. Rosie looks in the mirror to
check her face, but I don’t see Rosie. I see her. The girl! Quickly, I
turn to her. The black hair and bleeding eyes stand before me.
“Hahaha. You were tricked” she cackled.
I turned and ran. I ran as fast as I could. Sprinting into the living
room I hide behind the large velvet sofa. Feeling horrified, worried
and curious I poked my head around the sofa. I saw her walk past
the living room. I ducked down hoping that she didn’t see me. I
stood up carefully, looking around to make sure she wasn’t there. I
decided to make a run for it.
Dashing to the front door, I bang it as I try to open it, but it’s
locked! I bash and thump against the door. She must have heard
me as she appeared behind me. I saw a black key hanging
around her neck.
“No escape. No getting away” she screeched. She came closer
and closer, looking at me showing me the knife. I begin to sob
quietly, but I had an idea. Thinking quickly I turn the knife around
and stab her. I grabbed the dark metal key pulling it from her
gruesome neck and opened the huge oak door.
Running away frantically I turn around to glance back at the
house. She was standing in the window.
“You’re lucky” she screamed and then disappeared.
I ran, not looking back again.
I still hear noises at home…like she is watching me, waiting…will
she come after me again?
TAP, TAP, TAP. The door knocked angrily, followed by a whisper
through the key hole. “I’m back…”
