It was a dark and Gloomy Halloween night and there was a child named Drake. He and his friends were trick or treating. They were going to a house that gave king size candy bars but they had to go through dark, scary woods. All of Drake’s friends were too scared to go into the woods but Drake wasn’t scared easy so when his friends dared him to go in, he did.
So when he went in there he heard laughs and whispers, he didn’t know what it was and then he saw a shadow that got closer and closer… When he finally ran he kept on hearing more and more whispers as he went on. He screamed out “HELP ME PLEASE!!” So when he thought no one was going to come he saw a shadow and he didn’t get someone to come that he wanted to come. He ran and he saw a dead body and didn’t know what to do he was scared. He screamed as loud as he could to get out of there but no one could hear him he was trapped and couldn’t get out. He eventually fen asleep but woke up to screaming and he followed the sound and saw little twin girls who saw him and they were ghosts and they said “Why did you come here, we once came here, we didn’t leave.” Drake screamed so loud it made the two little girls vanish. Drake kept on running when a tree turned to life and grabbed him by the feet and pulled him up to a really high branch and set him down. The tree said “I WONT LET YOU ESCAPE!” Then the twins came back and took him down from the tree and said “We are not here to hurt you, we are here to TRAP YOU!” Then the twins dropped him into a big cage and they turned on the air sucker (Which made the air come out). He screamed but no one could hear him. He thought I will not back down, he grabbed a broken mirror that the twins put around him so he wouldn’t move. He carved a big enough circle for him to get out, he got cuts on his hand from the broken mirror. After he got out he heard a loud laugh that sounded like” MWA HA HA HA” it scared Drake. He ran and saw a giant clown that had fangs and it was laughing and said” YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE ME.” Then the Clown grabbed a very sharp stick and swung it at Drake. Drake managed to dodge it. He ran, he ran as fast as he could but the clown caught him. Drake threw glass at him and he ran as fast as he could. The twins came and wrapped him in a bloody rope and he was never seen again…
