Dark quite streets. Foggy mist under the street lights. The erie silent graveyard to my right. Houses littered to my left. I walk slowly down the sidewalk. A presence felt as invisible eyes watched me. I kept turning around wondering. Waiting. For what? I don't know! Just one of those feelings you get when you're alone and it's Halloween Eve. I zipped my purple jacket up and hopped over a puddle of rain. "Almost home Dottie!" I told myself shivering from the night air that felt as if i was in a freezer. I heard some rustling in the bushes up ahead. I stopped in my tracks. A monster popped out from the graveyard! "Ahhh!" I screamed loudly! As the monster slid her mask down. I realized it was my bestfriend Katy! "Katy! How could you? My heart felt like it was going to pop!" I shouted holding my chest. "Relax Dottie it's Halloween Eve! Like my creepy mask?" Katy asked holding it out. "Sure where did you get it?" I replied staring at the spooky decaying zombie face. "The Halloween Depot silly!" Katy said laughing. We were interrupted abruptly by Seth and Tony. "What do we have here?" Seth chirped grabbing the mask from Katy! "Give that back Seth!" Katy cried. Seth and Tony tossed the mask back and forth. "I have an idea Katy!" Seth announced. "I'll give it back if you enter Doom House!" Seth threatened holding the mask. "Doom House? Don't be dumb Seth!" I said shaking my head. "I am not going into that house Seth!" Katy replied. "Well this gruesome mask is mine then!" Seth blurted stuffing the mask into his black backpack. "Fine I'll do it!" Katy said walking towards Seth. "You have to go into the little boys room!" Seth replied smiling at Tony. "No way!" Katy yelled. Seth turned and began walking away. "Stop! Fine it's a deal Seth!" Katy shouts. "Meet us in twenty minutes at Doom House!" Tony announced. "Doom house Katy?" I asked. "There's a story about a family that once lived in that house. Mom, Dad and there lonely son Harry. Everyone thought they were creepy! No one saw Harry except when he played by himself in the yard. Rumors were he was homeschooled. Others think his parents locked him up in his room. One night a fire broke out at that house. The parents made it out! The boy Harry didn't." Katy added. "He got roasted?" I asked Katy. "That's the story Dottie" she replied as we walked to Doom House. "Poor kid" i mumbled. "Well now we are going into the charcoal house and visiting the dead boys bedroom!" Katy said gazing at me. We arrived at Doom House in five minutes. We waited for the two bullies Seth and Tony. Seth appears from around the side of the house. "Where is Tony?" Katy asked sitting on the bricks of what used to be a mailbox. "He isn't coming." Seth replied holding the zombie mask. "Here we go!" I told Katy pulling out my mini flashlight from my back pocket. The house was burnt to a crisp. The front door was just plywood bearly covering the opening. We squeezed through. "Be careful Dottie" Katy said holding my hand. We slowly crept to the hallway stairs. "The place is huge inside!" I said flashing light over the broken down living room. The stairs creeked and squealed as we accended them. We reached the top. A cold chill breeze hit us. "We shouldn't be in here" i told Katy. "All because of your dumb mask Katy!" I whispered. We heard a moaning noise. Ghostly moans. "What is that noise?" I asked shaking. "Just the wind!" Katy replied. We continued to the boys bedroom. "Seth said it was the last room on the left." I said pointing my flashlight to the last bedroom on the left. We walked to the bedroom door. I peeked inside. The room was cold. Colder than the rest of the house. "I feel something inside this room Katy!" I whispered as goosebumps rose on my arms. We stood inside the bare room. A voice called to us. "Help me, please help me!" A boys voice broke out in a cry. "Katy I'm scared!" I mentioned grabbing her arm. "Me to lets bolt Dottie" she replied grabbing my hand. We turned to run. The bedroom door slammed shut. We both shrieked aloud. The closet door slowly creeked open. "Katy this is scary!" I moaned. A boy appeared. He was a little blonde boy in pajamas. Katy and i hugged eachother shaking. "Please don't hurt us!" I cried. He walked towards us. "Are you afraid?" The blonde boy asked. "Y-y-yesss" Katy replied in a stutter. "My name is Harry" the boy announced. "Harry? The boy that died here?" I asked frightened. "Yes!" He said laughing. "You will never leave this place now, you both are mine!" Harry giggled. We ran to the bedroom door. We pushed and pulled. It was stuck. Shut and we couldn't get out. "Please let us go! We didn't mean to bother you." I stammered. The boy grabbed me. Pulling me with him. Into the closet. "KATY!" I screamed. I pulled free. The boy lifted his arms. Banging noises started. Like pounding on the walls. Something was scratching on the window. "Stop! Please Harry! Don't kill us!" I cried hugging Katy. The banging stopped. It got quiet. To quiet. The boy walked towards us again. "GOTCHA!" He said laughing. "What? What do you mean?" I asked shivering. All of a sudden the door opened. Seth popped inside the bedroom. Laughing hysterically. And Tony following behind him. Also laughing aloud. "This was the best prank ever!" Seth shouted. "A prank? This was all a prank?" Katy asked holding onto me still. "Duh you don't really believe in ghosts do you" Seth replied high fiving the little boy. "This is Marty, Tonys little brother. We got him to play the little boy that died here, oh you two bought it so bad!" Seth announced laughing. "You jerks! You guys scared the life out of us!" I yelled shoving Seth. "Chill out it was just a little goof." Seth replied smiling. "Here's your mask!" Seth handed Katy her zombie mask. We began walking out of the bedroom until we heard a noise. We all spun around facing the closet. And screamed! Our screams echoed inside the bare house. A little boy stood there staring at us. A little redheaded boy. "My name is Harry, would you be my friends?" He asked standing there as pale as a ghost. "It's a ghost!" Seth shouted as we stared through his body! "A real ghost!" Seth shouted as we bolted out of the bedroom screaming!
