LYDIA DEETZ AND THE WITCH'S HOUSE

Capítulo 11: Dead end

The door of the blue room could be abandoned now that the north door had been unlocked and the group as they crossed it saw wooden steps leading to the upper floor.

CRASH.

A loud sound like a window bursting into a thousand pieces reverberated in the air.

"That noise is not a good omen," Percy said nervously.

"We are inside the haunted house," said Viola, "we are already in a very bad situation."

"Let's go on," said Lydia and everyone went up to a large landing that was made up of a large parquet floor and a bluish stone wall, which was decorated with three stained-glass windows that had no pattern and hardly illuminated the place.

The group climbed back up the stairs and reached the top floor. A medium carpet of ochre colour and beige frame received them, and next to it, there was the main corridor consisting of a large dark blue parquet floor and a wall of blue stones similar to the one on the ground below, with the difference that these were of a larger surface and better placed one over the other so that they did not let a razor blade pass between them.

Like the landing, there were several stained glass windows spaced across the long extension of the wall.

The group was passing through each of the dark stained glass windows when one of them suddenly exploded.

With demonic speed, a sinister shadow landed on the ground, and with a dizzying reflection, it headed straight for the group eager for murder. There was no way out.

In less than a blink of an eye, Ellen's image came between the boys and the evil shadow, and in the same time, both the shadow and Ellen disappeared.

"...Lydia, that really scared me!" Percy shouted and went to seek the comfort of the Gothic girl who was ready to embrace him.

Viola looked at the couple strangely, sometimes Percy was the one who was acting like a macho and trying to protect Lydia, other times he was the one who was vulnerable. These two complemented each other depending on the situation.

"Better get on with it," said Lydia and Percy nodded.

The three kids reached the end of the long corridor and a carpet just like the one they had found just before rested in front of another door.

In the other room they found a room that contained only four tables covered with tablecloths of different colors and on top of them, antique dolls with different colors of dress. All the tables had one doll except for one and in the middle of the four tables just behind them was another door that was locked.

"We have to put each doll on the table with a tablecloth to match her clothes," said Lydia.

CLICK.

You could hear the sound that made the kids understand that they could walk through the door and they did.

The configuration of the house changed as they were now not on what would be an upper floor, but rather on the ground floor, in a garden.

In front of the door, a short corridor decorated with columns and arches holding roses gave access to a clearing in which a park bench was located above the green grass. The bench was made of wood with wrought iron supports and on top of it was a porcelain cup and next to it, Kira, the black cat watched the boys approach him.
