Cat and mouse in a haunted house

A castle with blood-red windows

CHAPTER 2: A castle with blood-red windows

The castle was surrounded by deep moat filled with slimy green water.

I stared at the building. The walls were made of huge square stones. Windows protected by thick iron bars stared back at me. I flinched. The windowpanes were blood-red!!!

Just then, a light came on in the highest glowing eye of terrifying monster!

Oh, how I wished I was home! My fur stood on end from fright.

As quickly as it had turned on, the light flicked off again!it was then that I noticed the flag hanging from the castles's highest tower. It showed a picture of a blood-red cat! The cat's back was arched and it's claws were drawn.

In front of the entrance stood two cat statues. The cats' jaw were set in evil snarls. I gasped. All of these cats were beginning to give me the creeps. Was this the homeowners' way of scaring away the diffracts? Well, I guess it was cheaper than an alarm system.

I studied the statues. One of them had a sign with instructions for the doorbell. It read: PRESS YOUR PAW HERE..IF YOU HAVE NO FEAR!

I looked closer. The doorbell was blood-red! SHIVERING, I pressed the ringer.

MEEOOOOOWWW!!! A horrifying meowing filled my ears. Terrified, I scurried behind a bush.

Holey cheese! This cat must be some monster!

After a while, I peeked out from my hiding place. Strange, very strange. Not a furry face in sight. Finally, I realised the meowing was taped! It was coming from the bell!

Once again, I approached the door. It opened, as if by magic.

By now, i wasn't exactly dying to go in. In fact, you could say I was dying to scurry on out of there!

But then a BOLT OF LIGHTNING practically took off my paw.

Yikes! I didn't want to go inside, but I couldn't stay outside in the storm. I practiced my deep-breathing exercises.

Them I tiptoed inside.

Crusty cheese slices!

It was so DARK and SPOOKY.

oh, how I wished I was home!
