I stand in the middle of the garden and wait till Harry and William go round the corner to the front of the house. I look down at me shoes then I put my hand in my body warmer pocket and take out the small key I found in the box. It's an old fashioned key, black and a little rusty. The top bits go into a little heart shape as a handle.

I hear two car doors slam and both start the engines. I can tell Harry moves my step dad's car round the tree in the middle of the drive and William reserves back until he gets to the iron gates, then drives down the long road and beeps his horn as a way of saying goodbye.

Harry's makes the car go back into its normal space, stops the engine and gets out. I can here foot steps in the stoney- pebbly drive. I've walked closer to the house now so I can hear Harry running now.

I put my shoulders against the back side of the house for about 2 seconds. I take a step back and look up at the spare room, still dark and gloomy! Plus it has the new paper stuck to the windows.

I take a step closer to the corner of the house as I hear boots touching the grass but slower. I walk round the corner of the house and see Harry. He jumps.

"Sh- sugar!" He gasps, he knows he's not aloud to swear around all of us!

I laugh and narrows his eyes towards me.

"Williams gone then?" I know the answer.

"Um l, yeah." Harry says and rubs the back of his head.

His eyes go to my pocket, I look down and see the key is sticking out. Damn. I was hoping he wouldn't of noticed.

"What's that?" He half points.

"Oh that." I take out the key and hand it to him. "I found it in the little door in the tack room. It was in the box. I think it's for the spare room." I finish.

"Cool, well let's go and look!" Harry says and begins to walk to the back door.

I grab his wrist and pull him back, the smile on his face wiped off and replaced with a frown. He's very adventurous but he was the one who said he wouldn't go in there!

"Where are you going?!" I nearly shout.

"Erm, upstairs. Why?" to be honest he looks a little shocked at what I just did.

"It's freaky up there and I'm not ready yet! Remember I have to sleep across that room. I don't really want to annoy what's ever in there, because I'm gonna get it!"

"Okay! Okay! We'll wai-" He stops manages to release his wrist from my hand and runs to the front door.

"HARRY!" I scream.

He's quite fast so I would never be able to catch him. It I've got to try. So I rush after him. He reaches the back door looks back and me and smirks as he opens the door. He runs through the hall way and into the kitchen. But I stop as something catches my eye. The utility room door is opening by itself. But I push that to the back of my mind. I run through the kitchen not realising i'm getting mud everywhere. I get to the bottom of the stairs and Harry is half way up. I throw of my shoes and dash after him. He reaches the first door before the stairs with is the spare room and twists the door knob. Ha! It's locked!

"Yoink!" I say and grab the key out if his hand, I walk behind him and lean against the wall and grin at him.

"Git!" He yells and walks to towards my room.

I take a few steps forward so i'm about a foot behind him and he turns round.

"Damnit!" He yells and puts both hands on his head.

I laugh at him but he stands up straight and moves his head past me, he steps forward and pushes me to the slide. He skips forward as I turn round and see the spare room door is opening. Shoot!

"Harry! Wai-" to late. He runs in and slams the door behind him.

"Harry? Why the hell did you do that? Harry?" I wait, hoping he's alright, hoping for an answer.

"Harry?" I shout once again.

Suddenly I hear him scream. I try to open the door but it won't budge. He screams again and I hear paper ridding, I see light come from the gap in the room. Harry screams again! Oh cap, some things wrong, really wrong!

"HARRY!" I Scream once more.
