No One is Safe in Tudor Hall

No one else would believe Amy. They all just said she was crazy, mental even stupid, but not me. I believed her.


Last night I warned her not to go out to the woods. "Don't go" I said "Something is out there". The next day I heard sirens and saw a hand sticking out of a mattress covered by a blanket.


I closed the curtains of my room. "Thats it" I thought "This place is haunted". I clambered down the stairs. The winter sun shone through the condensation on the windows. I walked into the kitchen. My little sister Abigail was scoffing down her breakfast. "Come and have breakfast dear," said my Mum. "No thanks. I'm not really very hungry," I replied. "Are you scared that the creature will come and eat you," said Abigail. "Abigail!" said Mum in a furious tone.


I quickly left the kitchen walking as fast as I could. I walked onto the open air porch. The trees were starting to wither away. The icy cold air stang like icicles. "Poor Amy," I thought. "What did kill her. Tudor Hall is a big house where two families can live and anything could have happened." As I sat on the bench dark clouds began to form, and before I knew it, it had started to pour. The rain felt as heavy as hail as it penetrated my skin.


A gusty wind blew me inside. I struggled to close the door. I heard my Mum listening to the wireless. I hastily climbed the stairs, past the door leading to the attic. I remember my Mum telling me, "Don't go into the attic and don't enter the woods. " I really wanted to know what was in the attic, so I opened the door. It creaked as I opened it. As I walked up the stairs in the attic I heard another clap of thunder. As I reached the top of the stairs, the attic looked very spooky and mysterious. It smelled damp as well. On an old desk I saw an old piece of parchment. It read "To the next owners of the Hall. Please be assured that this place is not haunted. We have left behind one family member who was dearest to us. If you do not feed him he will take you away. If you do not feed him you will suffer the consequences. He is not a tame animal." At that point a flash of something bright flashed by. The stairs started to creak. I dropped the letter in fright and stared at the door.


The creaking stopped. I turned around to face a mirror. The mirror showed a pair of yellow eyes and grinning teeth, but when I turned around Mum was staring at me. "I told you not to come up here," she said. I rushed past her and fled down the stairs and ran into my room.


The rain had become heavier and the woods more darker. I sat on my bed. The words "He is not a tame animal" flooded through my mind like an overfilled dam. I thought to my self "How could the eyes be there but at the same time, they were not."


The night was blustery and the lightning kept on striking. I walked up the stairs at exactly nine pm to go to bed. I couldn't sleep with all the thunder and lightning. I managed to close my eyes for five minutes. Then a bolt of lightning struck close by. I sat up and gaped at a pair of yellow eyes glaring at me. I was horrified and frightened. I quickly fumbled for the lamp switch. When I found it, I switched it on, but there was nothing there. Fear froze my face. The eyes had vanished. I suddenly heard a scream. It was Abigail. I quickly opened the door and slammed it shut, and raced to Abigail's room. The room was echoing with her scream. She was standing on her bed pointing and screaming. I turned to what she was pointing at. There was a squirrel on her dressing room table. Mum and Dad came in. Mum went over to Abigail and comforted her. Dad grabbed the squirrel and let it go out the window.


The next morning I fiddled about with my torch while I was on my bed thinking about what I saw. I then heard Abigail singing outside. I went over to the window and saw her heading to the woods. Horror touched my face as I fled out of my room, down the stairs and as I ran outside. I yelled "Abigail come back". Abigail was frozen staring. I moved up to her and saw what she was staring at. It was a big black wolf about two times the size of a regular wolf. "Abigail, go back to the house" I said in a calm voice. She ran. The huge black wolf stared at me with its yellow eyes and smiling teeth. A red liquid dripped from its mouth and it lay motionless. I was frozen with fear. I couldn't move. It slowly got up and stood up on two legs. It was taller than a grizzly. I closed my eyes and felt heavy breathing down my neck. I suddenly felt a pain worse than death and I fell to the ground. The two sharp paws started to claw me apart. I heard a banging and the pain stopped. I woke up on a white bed. Mum, Dad and Abigail surrounded me. "We will never live in that house again," said Mum. Dad then told me about how two policemen went into the woods to look for the wolf and never came back. "Yikes, that's bad" I said.


I definitely feel sorry for the next family who will live in Tudor Hall. When the next family did arrive they had a son who also claimed to see yellow eyes but never got to tell the tale.
