The Unknown

Chapter 1: A Bad Start

The night was chilly and filled with darkness. Everyone was in their beds all snuggled up and warm, for this night was All Hallows Eve. But three workers were anxious to get their task done. They were to bury a man near a massive tree. During the next two hundred years, the tree had been cut down and a school had been built. Maybe it might be the school which you go to. (if you still go to school). Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Gwendolyn. Gwen for short. I have sleek, dark brown hair and blue eyes. I love to read and I'm very athletic. Everyday at my school, children kept telling each other that there were red fingerprints in the bathroom. There were so many rumors, that i couldn't keep track of all of them. Then one afternoon, my friend scurried over to me yelling, "Gwen, Gwen". It was my best friend, Emily. She looked very pale and her face was white as if she had seen a ghost. Emily never lies to me. Never. She told me that she had seen something white floating in the air. I found it a bit awkward to to consider that true, but I had to. Did I mention that Emily is always honest? Wait, I just thought of something! I remember that this was one of the rumors that the other kids were talking about. I didn't believe them, but I had to because Emily, here, was telling the truth. I doubt saying this, but, I couldn't believe anyone until I see proof within my own eyes. I made a plan that I would go to school and find proof that I could actually see. At home in my bedroom, I thought of what to take with me. I pulled on a short sleeve t-shirt and a pair of clean jeans. It was pitch black outside so I took a fully charged flashlight. My school was located on 666 Elm Street, so I had quite a walk to do. Walking up to the school was hard because I kept tripping and falling on big rocks. When I finally arrived at my school, which took longer than I thought it would, I shone my flashlight over the building. There was only one light on in the school. Strange, I thought that everyone had gone home. I soon regretted that when the light suddenly turned off. Well, I knew one thing for sure; there was definitely somebody in the school. And then, all of a sudden, I was terrified to enter my school. But I had to find some evidence to fit this mystery. So, I made up my mind and started to walk up to my haunted school.
