"Welcome, welcome!" a kind lady greets us by the doors of a cottage called South Lane House.

She wearing a grey skirt up to her knees and a white blouse, her blonde hair is tied up with the hair resting on the left shoulder. My mum shrieks with joy, for her it was love at first sight. To be honest we all fell in love with the house as we walked slowly gazing up through the windows with our mouths open wide.

"My names Layla, I will be your tour guide as the owners will not be around to assist you. Any questions ask me. Now, shall be look inside this um..." she paused and glances at the house, giving it a rather odd, dirty look. "beautiful house." she continues. As we walk through the front door I heard faint gasps from the beauty of the hall.

"We have to get this house!" I say whilst jumping up and down! I'm tempted to go off and explore.

Two hours later and we are still in the house nowhere near the end of our tour, we've seen the down stairs and most of the upstairs. We head in the into the spear room and Layla stops.

"Is everything okay?" my step dad Andrew asks.

"Oh, yes, fine, I just want you to go in this room, it's a big one with a little window and no on suit." she replies.

She has that look on her face again, it scares me a little, like there's something she's not telling us and she doesn't make eye contact with anyone which makes me more curious! As we enter the room the atmosphere changes completely, it's freezing! The window must be open. I look at the window and it's not open.

"It's freezing in here." I whisper while rubbing my arms to keep me warm.

"I know" my mum says.

I look at her, I didn't realise I said that out loud! Layla was right it was big in here, to big for a spare room. I walk around once more and when everyone is leaving I notice something, like a little door but it's been covered with wallpaper.

"George, come here" I call for my little brother George, he turns around and runs his fingers through his short brown hair.

"What is that?" he asks.

I thought he was talking about what I was talking about but he's spotted something else. There's writing on the wall, looks like blood, dried blood, on the wall! I can't read what it says as half of its been covered by that god awful wallpaper, it looks victorian to be honest! And it looks like someone's tried to clean it, they were obviously hiding something!

"Rebecca, George, come along! Becca, do you want to see the paddock, somewhere for Altai, Harry and Hamaly can stay, plus the stables?" my mum calls.

Well when the house is our we can do some investigating, invite my dad round as he's a detective, a damn good one as well! Now I'm going to look at the stables for my three horses, Altai, Hamaly and Harry, not named after my cousin, he already had that name it's confusing I know! Harold my cousin and Harry the horse, that settles it, and I've completely forgotten about the spare room! Oh yeah! That. I turn around once more in case I've missed anything, I haven't though, I need to know what's behind that door though... Bizarre!
