Title: Lost

My family and I decided to go on a hike, I felt very terrified thinking about the trip because all the rumors spread about the creepy forest.

I frozed with astonishing news, I  bolted to my room and piled myself with my cloths, the day came fast as lightning, we got in the car and sped so we don’t have to change our minds.
As we got there dad already made us run a few laps, and then we started to walk.
Mum found loads of amazing experience but after scuttering around the bag to find the camera, her face moderately turned into a fierce frown, it was an easy guess.
As we got the an end to our trip dad looked puzzled even mums frown turned confused, I felt sick about the disgusting flies fluttering around, but something was fishy the path disappeared out of sight and the sky creakily turned into a midnight colour.

I felt a happily sudden breeze screeching around my face, I turned and saw a hole, I yelled with joy, my family and I jumped in the hole.

I appeared at home, safe and sound after peeking at the window a shadow wailed across the room, we settled our self at home, I looked back but suddenly with horror the hole was gone, I heard a bundle of frightening sounds as I saw a pale figure all dressed up in white dress hair flipped frontwards. To be continued.

Arg had a great idea but it had to be quick because the grogllgrox was getting closer, Arg found loads of stink bugs on the bushes and went to the leader of the dizzy diplodocuses, and spluttered stink bug on all of the diplodocuses.  The grogllgrox couldn’t stand the smell and ran away.

The friendly mysterious shadow

One obnoxious friday, after checking the mail I noticed a howling noise in the garden but I thought it was the neighbors dog.

As I opened the door I heard the t.v was on, I was positive that it was off, I crept in the living room as it was dark like a grave, I grabbed the remote as I heard a howling noise It was terrifying I followed the forgotten noise but suddenly the fridge banged on the counter I dashed to see what happen as I stared to the ground I wanted die as the cake was splattered into the ground. I rushed to my room locked it crawled as a baby under my covers and hid, after a few minutes I heard my favourite t.v channel on, I slapped my face and looked at my watch it was 3 minutes started, I rolled as my covers were untidy, as I got to the living room the remote was hovering on the couch I gasped, but suddenly a pale figure shimmered in the couch. I hid with fear so I could frightent her I held powder but then I could see a black messy hair and screamed because I thought it was a snake, as the shadow was terrified I sprinkled bundle of powder on to her,  she was blurry and currently turned into a girl, she apologized at first because she wanted to adventurise a normal human life, plus she wanted to live a normal life she thought this house was hopefully empty.

I turned my face into a sad face from a frown I dashed to hug her and said she can currently live with me until she goes back onto her feet.
