The Forgotten
Jacqulyn Patton
In this castle, bad things happen; for more than one-hundred years when people went in this place for fun, or for a dare and they never came back out. Once a family of four went in there and they almost didn’t come out alive. When they came out, they had blood all over them. They called this castle “End of Life.” Once they got this family fixed up, they asked them questions about the castle. The family shivered and turned white when the name of this place was revealed. You could tell that this family of four was terrified of this place by the way they reacted.
They said that it was just another day when they decided to go spend the night at that castle. When they entered the castle it was unusually warm. Right when they entered the room that they decided they were going to stay in, they felt a cold chill run down their back, as if something cold was touching them. They got their beds set up and got all warm; then the father (Derek) heard something walking into the room. He woke up to see what it was and nothing was in the room, so he checked outside of the room, still there was nothing there so he went back to sleep.
A couple of hours later, the mother (Samantha) and her son (James) woke up hearing an evil laugh coming from behind the door. They both jumped up and checked to see if anyone was there, and there wasn’t so they shut the door and went back to sleep. The whole family was in a deep sleep when the daughter (Kayla) felt something touching her, at first she thought it was her mom comforting her from a nightmare until she felt it was a sharp object like a knife! She screamed and it only woke the father, but he seen the blood on the wall that bared a message saying: “Leave now to live, or you can stay to die right where you stand after having some deadly fun!”
When they read the message, they woke James and Samantha, left the room and went into another room. When the family was leaving the room, James and Samantha seen the message and became very terrified. They wanted to go home, but they didn’t say anything and it almost cost them their lives.
This room that they were in now was smaller so they thought that they would be safer, but little did they know the smaller the room, the greater danger you are in. The smaller rooms used to belong to the ghost’s children and did not want anyone messing up their rooms. The room that they were in before however, was his and his wife’s room; that is where all of his children were born. This ghost was not a very happy camper when his memories were messed with. This family has not heard of the people that have gone missing, so they are unaware of the possibility that they might also go missing. They didn’t care about the message that was written in blood on the wall in the other room. They just wanted to have a good time at this place because it was for their vacation. They all fell into a deep sleep again, but this time they didn’t wake up. They had terrible nightmares instead; they all dreamed of waking up and seeing these people in front of them saying that they would kill them if they didn’t leave the castle right away.
The family woke up at the same time and they seen two bloodhounds standing by a tall, darkly dressed man. He explained “You must go now or else you will die.” The family didn’t believe him so they laughed. He said “I warned you two times now, you have one last time to escape this place, and if you don’t take this chance, you are going to die right where you lay.” The family still did not believe this man, so they just laid back down to go back to sleep when all of a sudden, there was a rope that wrapped itself around Makayla’s neck.
They were all terrified and cut the rope and started to run. They all had terrified looks on their faces when the man pulled out a knife. They all just started running past him hoping that all of them would dodge the knife, and didn’t look back to see. When they dodged the knife, they kept running forgetting all of their stuff behind. The man kept appearing in random places in front of different doors in front of them as if he were teleporting, and as he was doing that, he tried to stab them but they dogged all of the efforts of the man’s attempts. Once they got to the door, the man disappeared and the family stopped running. Then the family heard an evil laugh and they flung the door open, ran out and away from that horrible, horrible place.
