Friday the Thirteenth
By: Chrissy Granger
We headed off toward the attic. I was
in the lead, Charmander next for a source of light. Brock followed, occasionally glancing at the diary for more
clues. Team Rocket was second to last, then the rest of Ash's Pokemon followed.
We came to the door. I stopped and touched the handle. I took a breath and
opened the door. I walked in and got tangled in a cobweb; some unpleasantly got
stuck in my mouth.
We walked a few more feet. We then
split up to look through all of the junk. All I found was a couple of chests of
clothes. When I was looking through the third one I noticed something red. I
picked it up and gasped. The baby blue dress, probably from the 1800's, was
covered in dried up blood; I dropped it then looked deeper and found a rusty
knife and some rope.
About a half hour later, someone
screamed. I turned around to find Jesse, with one hand over her mouth in
horror, using her other hand to point out something. I looked behind the chest
she had been looking through. I, too, had to scream at what I saw before me.
There was a body back there! A rotten, bony body, and like most of the other
things that I have found. The dress that it had been wearing was covered in
blood. I could tell, by what little it had left, that it had red hair.
Jesse stared at it in horror as many
horrible things that could have happened to that body ran through my mind. I
shook the thoughts out of my head and reluctantly began searching again.
After another half hour, the clock
struck 1:30 A.M. We hadn't found much more. Brock found more newspaper articles
though none of them told us anything. Jesse hadn't continued to search after
the shock of her recent find and stuck close to James who found some candle
which he lit. I myself found nothing but more clothes.
Loosing hope, I sighed and leaned
against a nearby wall as we tried to decide what to do next. That section of
the wall began to move like a revolving door.
I then began to fall down a long,
narrow tunnel full of cobwebs.

of anything. Please review even if you have reviewed before because it
encourages me to write more. Thank you!!
