Hi! Did I ever tell you about a scare my friends and I got in a haunted house at Halloween? Well, one Hallowe'en my friend and I went trick or treating and I took my dog with us. When we were half way around the roads we came to a weird looking house and my dog ran into it. Without thinking we ran after him.
When we reached the front door we all entered. We went inside and the door slammed behind us. We scattered in every direction. After a few minutes we heard my dog barking. I thought it was coming from the basement, so I ran to where I heard the barking noises. I reached the basement staircase. I ran down the stairs two at a time. To my astonishment I saw a big coffin with the name “Dracula ” engraved on it.
I saw my dog and ran to him. After getting my dog I carried him up the stairs. I ran over to where my friends were. I told them what I saw in the basement, but they did not believe my story. So I took them down to the creepy basement where the coffin lay. When they saw the coffin they all gasped in awe. After a minute I said “Let's scram”. So we ran to the front door by which we had entered.
When we reached it there was the thing I hoped we would not meet. It was “Dracula”. He was at least six foot in height, with fangs two inches long. Hhe had wet, jet-black hair brushed back, wearing a long red and black cloak down to the ground. He was standing in front of the door so we could not leave the house. When we saw him we stopped short and turned and darted in the other direction. We went into a closet where old tools were lying. There were also mops and brushes in the closet.
I remembered reading in a book that if you stab a vampire in the heart he will die. But I didn’t think that would work because I didn’t really know if vampires were real, but I thought it was a chance we would have to take. We carved crosses out of the brushes and we also sharpened the tops of the mops with our penknives to make them look like spears.
When we were ready we charged to the vampire had been. We could not find the vampire. But he found us. He floated down from the rafters and he grabbed one of my friends. We were all scared but two of my friends were behind us and the threw their spears at him. One of them got him with the spear. He let go of my friend and he pulled the spear out of his back. He staggered for a bit, and we chased him around. We threw our spears at him, and one of us got him in the arm. Green blood came rushing out of his arm and spread all over the floor. It smelled like something foul.
We scared him back with our crosses so we could get a clear shot at him with our spears. I threw my spear at him and it got him right in the heart. Suddenly he started to melt. After five minutes he was nothing except a spear, a three-piece suit and a red and black cloak. We didn’t want to spend much longer in the spooky old house, so we ran home and we never told anybody of our experience with you know who. So will you please keep it a secret.
