Suddenly, Jake heard something in the corner of the room. The noise was a quite, tapping noise. He could not identify if it was the dripping of a loose tap, or the beating of his own heart. But when it slowly grew louder, panic began to rise in him. He swallowed hard, feeling the insides of his hand grow moist and the hair on his neck rise. He felt something behind him. Something mostrous surely must be there, behind him. He did not dare turn around, instead glancing towards Emily and Sam. Emily was busy looking at the chest. Sam however, turned away and crouching on the floor, examining the dust patterns that had recently been disturbed, suddenly looked up at Jake. Their eyes met, and Sam's eyes widened in shock, going pale at the sight of Jake. They knew they had to get out of the house. But how? His heart racing, Jake checked to see if there were any windows or doors nearby. Suddenly the old woman appeared in front of him. She seemed to be able to read his mind, sensing that he was about to escape from her trap. Screaming loudly, Jake ran, ran as fast as his feet would take him, ran down the steps, through more doors than he remembered walking, through corridors and hallways, until he had no more breath. All he felt was his heart hammering in his chest, when he woke up, drenched in his own sweat and tears, haunted by the labyrinth of the house that had just been a dream.

The Lost Key

Samantha, Jake, and Emily were best friends who lived in a small village by the river. One sunny afternoon, they decided to explore an old house at the edge of the woods. The house had been empty for years, and the village people said it was haunted. But the three friends were not scared.

“Let’s go inside!” Emily said, her eyes shining with excitement.

The door was locked, but Jake found an old key on the ground nearby. “Look what I found!” he exclaimed.

Samantha took the key. “Let’s see if it fits,” she said, walking to the door.

The key turned easily in the lock, and the door creaked open. Inside, the house was dusty, with cobwebs hanging from the walls. They stepped inside and began to look around.

In the corner of the room, they found a large chest. “I wonder what’s inside,” Emily said, her voice full of curiosity.

Jake helped open the chest, and to their surprise, it was filled with gold coins, silver jewelry, and sparkling gems.

“We’re rich!” Samantha shouted, jumping up and down.

But then, they heard a voice behind them.

“You found my treasure!” an old woman said.

The three friends turned around and saw a strange, old woman standing in the doorway. She smiled at them, but her eyes were sharp.

“What do you want?” Jake asked, feeling uneasy.

“I’ve been waiting for someone to find the key,” the woman said. “That key wasn’t for the door. It was for the chest. And now, you will help me carry it home.”

The twist? The key wasn’t a gift, but a trap.
