PLANE DISASTER!
One day there was a girl with brown shiny hair and a beautiful pale face and a red long dress who was going to New York for a holiday. She had packed her bags and she was off. When she got to the airport she waited for her plane. When her plane arrived she was off, but when the plane lifted off it made a weird noise and then she was in the air. After a couple minutes the plane was falling! There was a lot of screaming then ‘BOOM!’ the plane was down. She crawled out of her seat and found she was on an island in the middle of nowhere! But the worse thing of all was she was the only one! She slowly worked her way through the forest.
CHAPTER 1
I was walking down the street and I spotted a house with broken windows an old rusty roof, and old creaky stairs that lead to the door. The curtains were blowing out the windows!
I try to open the gate and it makes a loud thud.
I walk down the path it has weeds growing out of it. They make a loud crunch as I walk on closer and I smell some burning but I can't make out what it was. It was a dead body!
CHAPTER 2
I slowly turn the doorknob I feel scared and sick or like I am going to throw up. I slowly open it the door to see a red headed figure with the red beady eyes that stare into your soul and a black cloak. I try to look away but I can’t. He grabs me by the arm with his old wrinkled hand and drags me into the house! I wake up on an old red couch with red seams coming out of it. Next to it there is a big old fireplace that looks like it hasn’t been lit for years. I look around for a way out but then I hear footsteps coming towards me. I jump back onto the couch and try to fake being passed out. I hear the door slowly creaking open someone slowly walks into the room and rummages around the room then they slowly walk up to the couch where I am faking being passed out. He puts his cold old hand on my arm and pulls hard. I find it hard to fake being passed out and I make a loud scream. Then he slowly pulls me them. I walk up and lies me on a the couch. He grabs a knife and walks up to me. I try to move but I can't he pulls me down and holds it over me. I try to grab it but I can't and then the next thing I am dead!
And now I haunt him for the rest of my life.
