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.

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.

But when the old woman passed behind a tree, she disappeared without a sound. They were frightened, and when they decided to open the chest, it was EMPTY. Where did the gold go? Where was the woman?

The old lady took out a baseball bat and was about to knock out the 3 friends to make them disappear. But at the last moment, Greg arrived and put a single leg on the old lady. The single leg is when you do a kind of quick sliding on your knees to quickly put your opponent down. She then fell completely knocked out. They left the old lady in the house and left with the trunk. They were able to buy everything they dreamed of having and had a wonderful life.

The children did not want to help the old lady. They refused her request, she got angry and she killed the three best friends with a knife. She put them in plastic bags to throw them into a well. When she threw the plastic bags into the well, the bag was too heavy so she fell with it into the well and she died like that.

The three friends followed the woman and helped her carry it to a tiny house. This house was scary looking, plants growing all over the front porch. After disposing of the chest next to the kitchen table, Emily asked the lady : “So ? What’s inside ? Gold ? Jewelry ? Nothing ??!”The lady looked at her dead in the eyes and pointed towards the treasure. “Found out for yourself” she said with a smirk. Jake confronted his two friends “What could possibly happen to us ?? Give me the key and i’ll open it”. Jake does as he said and suddenly the room starts to spin in a whirl of blue smoke while the lady’s laughing mischievously. The three of them just wake up in their beds, asking themselves what the hell just happened. Was it a dream ? Do they need to go to that woman’s house again ? Nobody will ever know, or will they ?

The three kids looked at each other, and started laughing a couple of minutes, but suddenly the woman started screaming at them. Without any physical explanation, she disappeared.., leaving behind her just her black cloak and a weird feeling of insecurity.
