5. A STRANGE FAMILY Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a bit castle where two sisters and one brother lived. Their parents had already passed away and they were alone at the castle. The eldest sister was sixty years old, and she had a pale face with some warts on her face. Her hair was white and grey. She used to wear black clothes with a long sleeved black shirt with the buttons done up. Her brother was a physically handicapped person. He was fifty-three years old. He didn’t go out, he didn’t speak to anyone-he was an introvert person. Nevertheless, the youngest sister was an ordinary person. She worked as a guide, but she didn’t seem to be as dangerous as she really was. She had lived all her life with two ill people, looking after them since her parents died. She was only nine years old. As she worked as a tour guide, she sometimes invited some tourists to her castle because she told them that she was going to show them a very old picture which was painted by her father. All tourists who entered the houses never went out again. She killed them because her parents had said that if she wanted her system and brother to get over, she had to kill all the people she could. This way her family would be alright. Her father had also told her that if anyone knew or suspected what she was doing in the house, she would have to kill her family and herself too. She continues inviting tourists and killing them, until one day when a group of ten tourist came to the house.

7. HIDE AND SEEK On a cloudy afternoon of November, my parents took me to the park because I was going to a party with my friends that weekend. We drove to the party- the city was very nice and there were many houses with gardens. Suddenly, we were all silent and looked out of the car window. I thought I had seen a little girl on the wall of a house. She was blonde and beautiful. She was wearing a white nightgown and had a stuffed animal. She seemed sad though. Suddenly, she had disappeared. Then I thought it had been my imagination. I didn’t attach importance to it. When we got home, we started to play football. But it started to rain and we went inside for lunch an to open some presents. In the afternoon we got bored and decided to go and play hide and seek. We went to a close neighbourhood where the houses had been abandoned and there was an old park. We decided to play there. At first, I was a little scared because it was getting dark and windy. The wind moved the tree branches and shadows were created on the ground. Suddenly, I say a dog digging a hole in the ground and I went to see what it had found. There was a necklace with a picture. It couldn’t be true! She was the girl I had seen on the wall of that house! I asked my friends to come there and I told them what had happened; they didn’t believe me, they thought it was a lie. I told them I was afraid and that we should go home. We went back to the home and I saw the girl again. She was smiling and her eyes were terrifying. But my friends didn’t believe me either.

8. At night, I couldn’t sleep and I began to hear the cries of a child. I got up and went into my friends’ bedroom. Then I found a note that said, “I want to play hide and seek. You friends are hid, find them or you’ll lose the game….

10. BLACK I woke up. It was about three o’clock. The house was quiet, with the exception of that noise that had woken me up. From my bed, opposite the open door, I could see the whole corridor. It was bathed in moonlight which entered through the window. When I was about to fall asleep again, I saw a silhouette which was coming out of my parents’ bedroom. I finally saw it well when it passed by the window, going along the corridor. I only could see her back, but she seemed to be a girl over ten years old. She wore an old-fashioned white dress and her hair was black. I hadn’t got over this surprise yet when the girl went into my sister’s bedroom, which was on the other side of the corridor. Then I began to wonder, “Who is this girl?”, “How had she come into my house?” and the main question, “Why?” Suddenly a noise which came from my sister’s bedroom made me get worried. It was as if someone was being strangled. Then I got frightened. I began to look for a small penknife that my father had given me for my 15ht birthday. When I finally found it, that noise had already let up. I left my bedroom, decided to kill that little girl if necessary. She was in the corridor, looking at the moon through the window. This situation surprised me. I stood in front of my bedroom staring at her. At that moment, she realised I was there. She turned her face to

11. to me and the moonlight bathed it. I could see her whole face. She had hair as dark as night. It contrasted with skin which was so white that her dress looked yellowish. But, what actually attracted me were the two dark pits which were situated where her eyes should be. Looking at her face was driving me mad. She wouldn’t be alive. She wouldn’t be real. Then she turned completely to me and I had to lean against the wall to avoid falling down. She had blood on her hands and she carried a handful of eyes. I was terrified. I return to my bedroom. She was approaching me slowly through the corridor. Then I knew what would happen. She had strangled my family because she didn’t want then to cry. And now I was the one left. She was going to make me suffer. She was going to enjoy every cry. Then I stumbled upon my bed and I heard a metallic noise. It was my little penknife hitting the floor. I picked it from the floor. The girl kept approaching. My heart was beating too fast. I summoned courage up and I opened my penknife. I was determined to use it. The girl reached the door of my bedroom. Then, with just a fast and clear cut, I cut my neck from ear to ear. The blade slid through my skin as if it was drawing a second smile. I was going to die, but, at least, the girl wouldn’t have fun with me. Then I fell on my knees and we got face to face. My eyes were looking inside of those black holes. Then, all became black.

12. THE SECRET My friend, Cristi, and I were in bed. Out there it was stormy and we were a little frightened. We were in my friend’s house on our own because her parents had gone out. Suddenly, the door of the room banged open scaring us. After that, we went to the corridor to see what was happening and oh my god!, who was that boy?. He had a very pale face and strange eyes like those of a cat. It was horrible. We came back to the bedroom and closed the door because we didn’t want him to come in. The next morning, her parents arrived and we told them all that happened. Her father said that we should leave the house as soon as possible, but when we were just about to go out, all the doors and windows blew shut. We couldn’t run away! At that moment, the boy appeared again on the top of the stairs and like a zombie, he went down towards us and said, “Tell them what you did to me! Do you want someone to die too? Her father admitted that one stormy night he ran over a little boy and ran away because he was scared. After that, the boy killed Criti’s parents and he said to us that if we didn’t tell everything to the police, he would kill us too.
