The Howling

The invitation was posted through the door . the tension built as Poppy Silk opened the envelope . A letter popped out and swirled onto the floor . she bent down and elegantly picked it up . she carefully read and was shocked .

                               tomorrow night , 7:30 pm a party is being held at the dark-wood family

                                 manor , please attend because we will be serving drink , food

                              and hopefully good entertainment , we will be expecting you , Dark-woods .

Hundreds of people around town were invited yet only 24 were actually attending , the dark-wood family , well what can i say ? were a bunch of stuck up snobs ! The church bells rung as crowds of people watched a juggler preform on the streets . Joe Evans wandered through the streets searchingfor the tuxedo shop . He swung open the door and started to browse for the one that suited him . Black ? Grey ? he picked one up and tried it on .After an hour and a half he was finished and had the clothes he was wearing for tomorrows party. He ran home trying not to be caught in the rain .

Every 3 years the Dark-wood family would hold a event , Halloween , Christmas , anything that suited them !over the past few years though hardly anybody goes to the party's now . one Christmas party , the lights went out and somebody's bag was pinched . Last Halloween somebody was kidnapped and then found months later in a lake yet this year was bound to be worse . everybody thought it , and surely everybody thought right .

The night of the party ,

Carly Simmons sat outside actually waiting for the dark-woods to open the doors . She knocked before the doors actually opened . She entered dripping with wet , rain dropped on to the floor creating a massive puddle . Mindy Dark-wood led Carly into the lounging area . Soon after all the guests arrived . dresses swirled to the floor and tuxedos . There was dancing and singing and singing and dancing . a wide selection of food and mostly alcoholic drinks . Suddenly the music turned silent and the lights flickered . A long winding noise could be heard , some sort of , Howling quickly followed by a loud scream . The guests ran upstairs to the scene . on the top of the stairs lay a guest bleeding , claw marks covered her stomach . her hands shivering and her eyes flickering . The guests screamed as the blood dripped down the stairs . The guests ran to the door and it wouldn't budge . It was locked . in-front of the door stood Mr Dark-wood .

" nobody leaves here until we find out what and who attacked and killed that woman " he shouted . The windows shut and the lights flickered and this party was going to be a real-life nightmare .
