I will tell you the legend of Halloween!

This is SPPOOKIE! Listen to me!

3000 years ago, in DANNEMARK, there were 3 groups of people: REALISTS, CRAZY and NORMAL.

On 1st of november, the REALISTS thought that the zombies came from the sky to BITE it, for the ghots to fail like the snow. They were eating PUMPKINS, to the witches to not come to the WINDOW. They were afraid becuase of the legendary BRUSHES, that SCREAM in the night.

The CRAZY, thought that the vampires wake up from the BED
and bite the sky, and the mumies came down.

Nobody was right, but they were very afraid. So they were using pumkins with spookie faces to banish the ghosts, zombies and other imaginary beeing.
Like that has appeard the HALLOWEEN!

It was a beautiful cold Halloween night. I was in my room,with my dog, watching a scary movie on netflix. Suddenly, I heard a weird noise coming from a window in my room.
Knock
Knock
Knock
’’Pretty strange” I thought. I ignored it,since I was too tired to see what the noise was coming from.It was probably  a branch or a bird,who knows. 15 minutes later, I was face timing my brother,since he was at my cousins. Before you ask,I was alone at home,since my parents went to a party, and I didn’t want to babysit my cousins,so I was left alone at home.I was brave,so It didn’t bother that I was left alone at home. My brother showed me to my younger cousin,and he started to laugh. I asked what’s so funny,and he said that the kid in the mirror started waving at him. Then,I ended the call. What my cousin said really started to creep me out.I knew he wasn’t lying,because he never lies,and he’s always serious.I looked at my Back,and there,I saw my mirror. I heard a lot of stories about mirrors being portals to other dimensions,and also,My mirror is very old.who knows who had it before me. It could’ve been owned by a witch, or a creature that caused chaos, Or even Boogie Man’s mirror............. What am I even saying.Boogie man wasn’t even real. I’m just tired that’s it. I looked at my mirror.Nothing out of the unordinary. I started to brush my hair,and put a hairband with a pumpkin on it. I went to bed,made my dog a bed out of blankets,and went to sleep.Out of nowhere, I heard a scream.I woke up,and found a bite mark on my left arm.I thought that problably my dog got up, jumped on my bed,since he can, and bit me,But I looked closer, and it looked like a human bit me,not a dog.
I’m currently planing to go downstairs,  since I hear weird sounds coming from the basement.If I don’t continue to write,then.............Something happened to me.I hope to just be a racoon in my basement looking for food,and not some demonic being. Well,before I gamble with my life,I wanna say that I hope nothing bad happens,wish me luck.

It was a cold October night. It was 31st of October and it was almost midnight. I was staying in my bed, brushing my hair, listening to music and reading a creepy ghost story, when...suddenly... the lights went out! I was very scared, but I tried to calm down a little bit. It wasn't completely dark, because I had a pumpkin with a lit candle in it. I got out of my bed, trying to be brave. I pulled the curtains from the window up to get more light from the streetlamps. Out of the blue, guess what?....., the streetlamps went out, too. This situation gave me creeps and I was getting more and more scared, when, all of a sudden, I heard a blood-curdling scream. The wind was blowing hard and the branches were swaying. And... .it started raining cats and dogs! I suddenly saw some shadows and strange shapes. A chill ran up and down my spine. I heard a noise and I hid in the wardrobe. I thought it was the safest place to hide, but.... it wasn't. I felt I stepped on flesh! Paralyzed with fear, I was speechless! But,.... do you believe what? It was only my dog! It started barking. And, he bit me because I stepped on him.... Later, the lights came back on again! And...the branches weren't ghosts or monsters, like I thought :)
So, it was just in my mind, because it was Halloween and I was very scared.
But, don't get me wrong. People say that I am a beautiful and brave girl. Well, I won't stay home alone again at Halloween! :))

It was finally the Halloween night. Everyone was dressed in costumes and all the houses had pumpkins at the window, except one. That house didn’t need any decorations, it was scary enough the way it was. People tried to keep their distance from the house, especially on the Halloween night.  It has been abandoned for 20 years. There was a rumor that a woman killed herself because she was possessed by a demon. Many people thought a creep invented the rumor.

Our story begins with four teenage girls who decide to pay a visit to the haunted house. Their names were Mara, Cristina, Larisa and Nicole. It was Cristina’s idea to visit the haunted house. People tried to stop them but they wouldn’t listen. When they got to the house, they started hearing noises but they didn’t think it was scary. Nicole started taking photos and the others were looking around the house. Mara heard a loud laugh coming from upstairs. When Mara got to the others to tell them, it was to late. The legend was false. The woman who was supposed to be dead was standing right in front of them. The girls screamed as if a dog bit them. They wanted to get out but knew they couldn’t. Cristina threw her phone at the woman because she didn’t know what else to do. Luckily the woman fell, Cristina took her phone back and started running with her friends. While trying to escape Larisa broke a pot. You might think that is irrelevant but hear me out.  The woman wasn’t possessed when Cristina hit her with the phone, she managed to put away the demon in the pot Larisa broke. So, they hit an innocent woman and set a demon free. At that moment they were more scared than they were at the beginning, if that’s even possible. As scared as she was, Mara saw that there was a book on the bed. She got closer to the book and saw that there were written the instructions on how to get rid of that demon. It was a ritual. While Mara found the book, the demon caught Nicole. Mara, Larisa and Cristina were ready to start the ritual, the woman that they hit earlier showed up. Turned out her name was Mary and she was beautiful. Mary told them that they were missing an important part. After the ritual Mara noticed that they didn’t trap the demon in a pot. Mary appreciated  her sense of observation and told them that she did it on purpose. She didn’t want to have the responsibility of the demon anymore, so she passed it on to someone else.

They don’t know where the demon is to this day.

It was a normal Saturday evening. I forget that it was Halloween but I saw strange things happen in the house so I told my mom but she didn't believe me. Later that evening, I felt that someone was watching me from the wardrobe but I didn't care about it. Suddenly the wardrobe door was opening and a little ghost fell outside the wardrobe. I was so terrified that I couldn't scream but the little ghost said to me that I don’t have anything to worry about because he was a good ghost but his two uncles were on their way here to get him away and to bring him to the ghost school. He asked me if I could help him escape and I agreed then I told him to hide under my bed that his two uncles can't find him but when I did this I didn’t know and what trouble I’ve got into. After 12 PM I heard how the doors and the windows were starting to bang and suddenly the kitchen windows open I was scared when I saw two silhouettes in the house but then I saw that there were two little ghosts but they were much scarier than the little one that's under my bed. They searched for him for 2 hours and then they left. The little ghost told me that the two were from idom a kind of world where just demons or somebody with demon blood can survive like elves vampires werewolves and demons.
Suddenly I woke up. I think it was just a dream
HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It was an ordinary, cold day on 31st October. The streets were full of children in all sorts of costumes, and the houses were decorated with carved pumpkins and spiders' webs. Bianca, Raisa and I were on our way to a Halloween party, dressed as witches.

The party we were going to was held in an abandoned, creep house in the middle of the forest on the outskirts of the city. The legend says that in this house lived three witches who died in Salem Witch Trials, the legend also says that before they died the three witches left behind a magical door that can take you to your desired reality only if you can go thought 3 tasks that test your courage, ambition, intelligence and loyalty. The myth also says that only the 11th generation of the witch family will be able to do all the tasks.

We arrived at the party. The house was mysterious, it was of a wiped black color and full of spiders' webs and Halloween pumpkins, and some of the windows were even broken.

When we entered the house, the party was in full swing, everyone was dancing and having fun. We didn’t really enjoy the party so we decided to look around the house.

We came across a long, dark hallway that had old and dusty portraits on the walls. The hallway had a lot of doors, so we decided to go exploring each room.

We walked through each room until we reached a room darker than all. The room was very strange, it had a canopy bad, a strange Halloween pumpkin and wiped purple door on the wall.

We wanted to see what is behind the purple door, so we decided to open the it. A second after we reached the door it turned into a portal, after that we heard:

‘Good evening Bianca, Raisa and Teodora, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.’ We turned around and screamed, the pumpkin was talking!

We took two steps back and frozen, but the pumpkin kept talking to as: ‘There will be no fear, I won’t hurt you, I didn’t hurt 10 generations of witches before you, I won’t hurt the 11th one’.

I gritted my teeth and asked:

‘Excuse me, but who are you? Or maybe I should ask, what are you?’ The pumpkin grimaced for a second and then said

‘Me? I am the guide that your ancestors created to guide the witches of the next generations to pass the challenges that they have to face behind that purple door.’

Alessia asked: ‘Our ancestors? But how could they turn a door into a portal?’ The pumpkin answered:

‘With the help of magic, of course, it is not in vain that you are here, on Halloween night, dressed as witches. Or you probably not even know, like the ones before you? It's possible, ok I'll have to do it again. You are part of an old witch family, and the first witches in your family lived here in this house, but before they died, they left a curse on that door, and on your family to. They cursed the door so that only those who are part of their family could see it true benefit, but they cursed your family so that only the 11 generation could pass the tasks behind this door until the end, in order to reach their desired reality.’

‘So, what are you trying to say, is that we and our family are part of the legend of this house that the whole city is talking and that we should try to go through this portal to see if we can reach the reality of our dreams or something like that.’ Raisa said.

‘Yes, that is exactly what I am trying to say, and I think that you are the 11th generation, so you have to make it.’ the pumpkin said. ‘All you have to do is go through the portal and take me with you to tell you what to do’.

Bianca, Raisa and I decided to go and try our best, so we took the pumpkin and jumped through the portal.

After a few seconds I felt like I was floating and I was afraid to move. But we reached a big, dark forest with tall, bushy trees, where the rustling of the brushes sounds like a whisper, I couldn't see its end. The pumpkin told us:

‘You will find one animal in this forest, you have to use your intelligence, courage, and ambition to get over it, first task begins... NEW!'

After walking through the forest for a while we came face to face with a three-headed dog. The dog was huge. We were very scared so we hid behind 3 trees. The pumpkin said:

"You have to pass this dog, using your knowledge and skills."

All three of us started thinking about how we could get over this huge and hideous dog, after a short time of thinking Bianca said:

'Let's feed the dog to distract him.' Raisa disapproves, saying that we should put him to sleep, then the idea came to me:

'Let's sing him a song to put him to sleep! Grandpa's dog always falls asleep when we sang to him!' Bianca and Raisa agreed so we took out our wands and made a guitar appear, then Bianca started playing the guitar. The dog fell asleep immediately and we were able to get pass him safely.

After we passed the three-headed dog the pumpkin said: ‘You just won't sing until you leave, right? One of you will have to stay here and sing until the other two try to pass the other tasks’, then Alessia said: ‘I will stay, you two go ahead, I will be fine if I sing, take your time and don’t hurry up, I'll wait here’.

'Oh no, you have time to get to your dream reality only until midnight! After that the portal will close until the next Halloween night! '. All three of us were a little scared so we said goodbye to Bianca and went through the next portal with Raisa and talking pumpkin.

After a few seconds we arrived in front of a castle that you could only enter if you chewed a riddle. The guard told us:

'What makes trick or trick witch twin witches so challenging? You have two options, the first option is that they always say bam-boo, and the second option is that you never know which witch is witch' Raisa says: ‘You never know which witch is witch!’ the guard approved and we wanted to go through the castle garden gate, but the guard said 'Only one can pass!'. Raisa said immediately afterwards: 'Teo you have to go I know for sure you! Bianca and I showed our skills, but not you! ' I approved and said goodbye to Raisa and went through the castle gate leaving Raisa behind.

When I passed the gates of the castle the pumpkin told me

'It's 11 P.M, you have to finish your task and come back until midnight!

Manage your time well! ' Then he said: 'Now you will have to look for an emerald key in this whole castle so that you can go back to the purple door, you have only one clue where to look for the key, that clue is: You will have to climb many stairs to take the key, face the fear of the worst dream '. "You have a lot of stairs to climb," I repeated, "It means a tower." I ran to the entrance of the highest tower of the castle, climbed to the top and came across another door, then I repeated to myself: 'Face the fear of the worst dream', I have to face the greatest fear of my worst dream, that is, spiders.

I opened the door and there it was, a huge spider. I froze before entering the room, but the pumpkin reminded me: ‘Bianca and Raisa didn't come here for nothing, face the fear!' and so I did I fought the spider and passed it and there was the emerald key! We took it we went down from the tower we ran to the Raisa, then we went to Bianca and we arrived at the portal, but it doesn't look like a portal anymore, it was the purple door we saw the first time.

'At three' I said 'One ... two ... three!' We put the key in the lock and opened the door. In a few seconds we woke up back in the dark room, then the pumpkin said to us: 'Yes! You made it! Your ancestors would be very proud of you! Now let me explain how the key works! Every time you want to get into an alternative reality all you have to do is put the emerald key in a door and unlock it and then behind that door will be the reality you want!

We put the pumpkin back where he had first spoken to us and left that room, as soon as all three of us came out we started laughing and realized that this Halloween night was the most beautiful so far.

Once upon a time, there was a girl…hey hey, you thought it is that kind of a story? Well, you are wrong! That girl is me. I was sitting on the ground, reading a letter. All of a sudden, a hole opened right underneath me, causing a grandious fall, that it felt like it would never end. A rabbit hole maybe? But…this big? It may be a chance. So, while I was trying to process what is happening, a weird laugh echoed in the quietness. “Welcome, welcome my dear! It’s time for the freak show!”, a voice said. At the moment, I couldn’t think straight, only some minutes ago I was reading peacefully at the surface and now I am just falling in something that feels like an abis. As I was trying to find a spark of lightness, sixteen windows appeared and I stopped. I was not able to move, just stare through them, but…it wasn’t something bad, just trees, with multicolored leaves and white butterflies dancing with them. “Ok…now what?” I thought. That was a big mistake, cause that creepy voice from earlier started again: “You don’t like the little ones? They’re preparing for the grand entrance!”. “Entrance for what?” I asked, but no response. I continued falling, passing through weird walls, some of them with floating books, others with glimmering candles, until I hit the ground. I would I lie if I say that it was nothing, it kinda hurt a bit, but I was ok. I got up and scanned the room: it was full of doors, just orange doors. “Should I try opening one of them tho? What could be that bad?”, so my gaze turned to one of them. I reached the door knob and china dools appeared in front of me!”Well hello there! Don’t forget to cheer for us!”. At that moment I wasn’t even listening, I was just admiring their beautiful dresses and parasols, so the door closed and  they disappeard. “Uhm…maybe the next one will do!”, um yeah, bad idea. Thousands of pumpkins feel on me, nothing that weird until one of them started laughing and then, all of them accompanied. Without even thinking, I hardly pushed them back inside, breathing heavily. But then, every door just went away, being replaced with a huge arena. I looked down, seeing that I was actually sitting on something. A bed. A blackish bed with soft matress. My attention went from that to the dools I met earlier, singing while throwing candies at the so called “crowd”,that seemed to disappear . Eager to taste, I try one. Unfortunetly, it tasted…not so normal. It was like toothpaste, what was I supposed to understand? I should’ve bring my toothbrush or what? Suddenly, a tall man came, with a big black hat and with a bat on his shoulder. He looked scary, not gonna lie. The bat flew next to me and bit my finger, making me scream. Then, it went back to his master. “Weird…” I thought. But then, I felt a tingly sensation dancing in my body. My skin was white and I was dressed just like those dolls. “Yay! Now, you are one of us!” they cheered. I was shocked, but somehow felt happy…not sure why. Without knowing, I walked next to the dolls and danced along with them, while clapping could be heard on the backround. I had no choice but to stay with them. It may sound sad, but I found great friends and I don’t regret falling in the rabbit hole!
