“Horror at Midnight”

   It was a normal Halloween day, where all the children were running around, laughing and shouting “trick or treat!”

   Louise and Liz, the little twins, where dressed as ghosts! In the town they live in, they have a myth where a ghost, known as Blackbeard, goes into all the little children’s houses and steals their sweets and the kid’s disappear every Halloween at twelve o’clock midnight.

   The little twins, with their friends, went trick or treating! Then they went to eat their chocolates which they all got. They sat on a bench and Liz said to her friends…. “Tonight, I’m going to see if Blackbeard is real!” “Are you crazy?!”  said her sister and all of her friends. Everybody looked at her with their eyes wide open! “What?” asked Liz, with a strange smile… “You can’t do that!” shouted Riley, one of Liz’s friends.

  After a while they all said goodbye to each other, and went back to their homes.

It was nine o’clock at night. Liz was sat on her bed with a torch, waiting for the mythic ghost to come…She suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her bedroom … She quickly went under her covers shaking from fright… “Hello?” she heard “Liz, are you here?” “It’s me, Louise.” Liz got out of her covers and said “Oh, Louise, you frightened me, I thought you were Blackbeard … Now what do you want?”  “About that, I heard footsteps down stairs and Mum and Dad are not home!!” she said scared… They both went to the stairs which leads them to the living room and kitchen. They saw the fridge open and the oven on… “Oh, no!” Suddenly a smash was heard from their parents’ bedroom so they ran up to see what happened. The window pane was broken. Then all of the doors and wardrobes open and closed at the same time! The girls tried to phone their parents but no one answered… “No one will answer you or hear you, now you are both trapped in here, with me, in this house!” The voice was heard all around the house…

   Twelve o’clock at night. Silence in the house and no shouting for help or screaming. The girls had disappeared. Their parents finally came home, but they were too late to rescue the girls. They went into their bedrooms to see if they’re ok but they weren’t there. “Where are they?” said Margarita, the girl’s Mum. They both panicked and called the police…

   From that night on, the girls where never seen again…
