"We are almost there!" The bus driver yelled as I look out of the window to see a house, not just your ordinary house, like a house that you'd see in horror movies. I wasn't very excited to visit this "haunted mansion" but, Allison really wanted me to go. "Millie!" Allison yelled excitedly "We're here!" I got off the bus to notice a tall fountain with a statue of a lady, the water falling gently towards the crystal, blue pool beneath it causing ripples in the water. " Millie... Do you see that? The guy in the window?" Allison asked quietly as we were walking to go into the house making sure not to interrupt Jen, who is giving us a tour of the house.
We were walking into the kitchen when I heard a loud THUMP, it came from upstairs, Allison looked straight at me. "What was that?" I said quietly "I'm not sure but I want to know what it is, I'm going to go see." I made sure Jen wasn't watching, then we snuck upstairs to see what it was. We went into the first room on the right, I saw the front yard, where we were standing too, was this the room where I saw the... "Millie..." Allison whispered "What's this?" It was a newspaper, there was an article about the house they were in and as they read more they found out that the previous owner had died in the mansion and it was passed down to his rich daughter who after one and a half years mysteriously could not afford to live in the house. "Don't you think that's strange?" I asked "kind of..." Allison replied. "Do you hear that, the tapping?" I questioned in a whisper. "Let's go see what it is..." Allison said as she stood up. After walking down a long hallway the noises started to get louder. I opened the bedroom door to where the noise was to find a gigantic room.
The room was overwhelming, there were long black curtains covering the huge windows, drawn so that the sunlight would beam through. With a round, marble table and two white cushioned chairs sitting perfectly in between the curtains. The closet door was on the other side of the room. It slowly creeped open a few inches, Allison and I walked over to the closet door as I was starting to open it. Then, I heard the loud noise of the bus starting... We ran out of the room and into the room we found the newspaper in to see the bus we rode here in was driving away with everyone in it, and the lady that gave us a tour of the house walking out to her car. "What do we do!!!" I said as I was freaking out " I don't have service because we are in the middle of nowhere and it's getting dark...."
That was when we started hearing footsteps from the third floor. "Who is that?" Questioned Allison. "You don't think this house is really haunted, do you?" I asked " The closet!" Allison yelled out. We were walking into the bedroom when the door was wide open. I stepped into the closet hoping no one was in there, it was empty, nothing was in it. Next thing I remember was waking up in a room, it was dark with someone else in it. "Hello?" I said loudly "Is anyone here!!!" I yelled "Allison, where are you!" But I got no response, then I saw a light from outside of the room shining through the bottom of the door.
