Scary night

July 04, 2011 04:57 pm | Updated 04:58 pm IST

Last night I was on my way to my sister's house. I was going there for the first time. It was getting dark. Suddenly, it started raining and I lost my way. I reached a castle; I thought that was her house. I opened the door, I heard a noise and was terrified. As I went inside a shadow followed me. I didn't see anyone there, I thought everybody had slept. Rats were staring at me with their red eyes. A shiver ran down my spine. There were big cobwebs everywhere.

I called out my sister, it echoed as a loud scary voice. I was very sleepy and fell asleep on the couch. I had nightmares, suddenly I woke up and I couldn't sleep after that. I shouted at the top of my voice when rats ran past my feet. Bats started flying around me. Old furniture started moving. Lanterns started blinking. Somehow, I found the exit door and ran out. I finally found the way to my house. I told my mother about it and she told me that my sister has moved somewhere
