The Derelict House

There we were, lost in the woods, there was a rusty old house in front of us, it looked scary we didn't want to go near it. We carried on walking but there was nowhere to go, big bushes were blocking the way. “Maybe we should go back to that house and search for help”, Jenny gasped. “ OK but if we get into trouble it’s all your fault”, I replied. As we were walking cautiously along the cracked path to the front door, we suddenly heard something rustling from above. I looked up and noticed a short tail poking out from the tree right next to us. “Phew lucky it’s just a dog”, I said.

Slam! the door shut behind us, as we crept through. Surrounding us were huge old portraits hanging over the fireplace. Stairs that sagged were missing some boards and the wall paper were torn as if a wild animal was once lived here. I told Jenny to look in the living room if anyone can help us while I look in the kitchen. Just when I was about to walk I saw a treasure box sitting at the corner with lots of spider webs on the wall, “Does it have to be over there, I said with a sigh. I went over to see what’s inside. “Oh My Gosh!” My jaw dropped, “Jenny” I shouted, “Jenny!” What happened”, she said as she ran towards me. “Look”. “Wow hhhhow did you-”, Jenny got interrupted. Suddenly we felt the whole house rumble. Lights flicked on and off and Bats swamped around the room. Creek! My heart beat started to increase. “Shh I’ll explain to you after but now we have to get out of here I think the house is going to collapse!” “Hurry let’s go!”................
