The Trail Down The Road

Chapter 3

We walked through the woods quietly, but Dad held on to my hand the whole time. It was really weird the way that Dad was treating me it was like he was being over protective after we saw the glitter. After a while longer we heard a evil cackle and the sound of heavy metal music. The cackle was awfully familiar and it seemed to be coming our way. Dad and I quickly jumped behind the bush and waited for the thing to come closer so we could identify it. It doodled around then ruffled the bush we were in when it walked past.
As soon as it was near we could tell what was making the noise. The person looked like my Mum but in a witches costume. Suddenly Dad remembered that mother goes out every night for 20 minutes and she says that shes just going to get so food or some other terrible excuses, maybe that was her. All of a sudden I almost sneezed but thankfully Dad put his hand over my mouth and told me if that was Mum she would run away and leave us here alone.

The night went on and we saw many more creatures and heard even more evil cackles. I was starting to enjoy the stars when Dad jolted and said, "Did you hear that?" "No," I replied and we carried on listening until we heard another voice it sounded like they were planning something. Suddenly the first creature that came passed ran back passed us and yelled 'my family there not at home'.
Suddenly a pack of creatures started crying and running back the direction that we and the creature came from. We came from behind the bush and started to creep behind them making sure we kept our distance. We followed them to the entrance of the trail and then just watched. They kept running down the street and stopped at our house. They burst through the gate, ran up the pathway and into the open door. We saw them look through the windows and walk away sad. Thankfully they didn't see us. Slowly they filed out of the house looking at their feet as they did so. Once the last once walked and closed the door we ran behind a bush and heard them all whimper I wish that frog hadn't cast a spell on us and I wish I would of had the courage to tell Olivia and Ben.
