Chapter 4

Shadows…

 

Suddenly, the sound of a maniac was echoing down the hallway and a figure was emerging from the hall. Flo and Isaac were trembling in their socks and backing towards the wall,

“Wh … who do you think it is?” Isaac whispered, his eyes reflecting the dark shadow that was slowly coming towards them.

However, the figure stopped walking and disappeared quite suddenly.

“Where has it gone? Do you think it has left? Are we going to be safe? What in the world is going on?” Flo was clinging onto Isaac and staring out of the room. Isaac was trying to be brave by putting a supporting arm round Flo but he couldn’t help being terrorized himself, the lights had gone out, there was someone in the house who had definitely not been invited and the worst thing was there was no adult to help them, to comfort them, they were utterly alone.

Suddenly there was a splintering sound of breaking glass and the two best friends realised that the figure had not left them. It had come back.

A rasping voice pierced into the room and somewhere Florence recognised it,

“Think you could get away could you, think I had left. Well, you’ll be the only ones leaving tonight; you’ll be leaving to go to the GRAVE!” It cackled and flew towards them, but suddenly it fell to the floor. Of course, Spike must have tripped it up. A loud shriek had emerged from the body that was now draped across the floor.

“Ow, mind out you stupid cat, I hate you!”

Florence stopped trembling and walked slowly towards the body,

“What the hell do you think you’re doing? You PETRIFIED me and Isaac. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU. I WISH YOU WAS DEAD!”

Sofia flinched at these words and stared down at the floor.

“Actually it’s I wish you were dead not was-“

Florence was now staring furiously at Sofia and Isaac was stroking the cat.

“I’ll ju … just go and turn the li … lights on, then.” Sofia said trying to keep the tears out of her voice. She waltzed out of the room,

“I just wanted a joke, I didn’t-“

Florence collapsed to the floor and shouted,

  “SHUT UP!”
