The Strike Of Midnight

Searching The Neighbourhood

Chapter 4 - Searching the neighbourhood.

The girls packed there bags with food and drinks from the fridge not knowing how long they'd be away, searching for people. Ariana grabbed her gold key and put it in her bag as they set out in the neighbourhood. Searching around, they don't see anyone, it's dark, and gloomy and they start to feel scared.

'Lets knock on this houses door' Caitlen said.

The girls slowly walked up the cobblestone path, Ariana knocked on the door. They waited, and waited, but no answer. They moved on down the street hearing the silent ticks of the clock. Walking on to the next street they start to hear music and see light, coming from 29 Drasent Lane. Ariana's mum always told her never to go their because the Mrs Roberts that lives there was always so suspicious of everything around her and people had heard screams from her house.

'Well my mum did say never go to her house because of....reasons, but she's the only one around..so I guess..let's go!' Ariana said. They girls walked up to the house to see everyone dancing out the front.

'This doesn't look so bad' Caitlen said.

Mrs Roberts came rushing out with her shiny blonde her all up in a bun.

'Girls come in, meet Mr Martin, were engaged now' Mrs Roberts smiled. 'Sweetheart take them to get some food'

'Alright' Mr Martin said.

Mrs Roberts leaned over and whispered in his ear 'You do know what I really mean, right?'

'Of course' He whispered back. 'Put your bag down girls, follow me!' Mr Martin said.

Mrs Roberts smiled at them as they all walked off, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. 'Stella, David's put them in the room'

'Great, I'll be there soon' Stella said.

Mrs. Roberts hung up the phone.

Meanwhile with Mr Martin

He put them in a room that was filled with sugary sweets to the top and bottom.

'Ok here's a phone, call me if you need anything!' Mr Martin said.

'Okay' Caitlen said stuffing her mouth full of cake.

'Caitlen I just need to use the bathroom, I'll be right back' she walked towards the door and turned the handle, she pulled and pulled but the door just wouldn't open.

'Whoops, I think Mr Vagg accidentally locked the door I'll just give him a quick ring' said Ariana.

She rang Mr Vaggs number.

'Yes Girls?' He said.

'Um.. Sorry to bother you, but I think you accidently locked the door behind you' said Ariana

'Oh no that was no mistake' he hung up.

Mr Vagg chuckled.
