“Something is going on here” whispered Alex, but nobody dared to think of the fact that two girls had gone missing until the third one came on the twenty first of October. Thats when Alex decided to investigate. The next weekend he called Sofie’s father, and asked him to tell him exactly what had happened, but all he knew was that Sofie went to school one day, and never came back. 

 

“And the same happened to the other girls” said Alex. He was explaining how the three girls had disappeared the same way, but his father thought that they were in a Motel, as they had disappeared with their wallets. So Alex was alone in the investigation. 

 

He carried on with the investigation until Halloween. He was desperate. He was talking with the guy that sold tuck in front of the school 

“So you didn’t see these girls come to your shop, well thank you.” Said Alex 

“Would you like a sweet” said the waiter. 

“Yes please”said Alex, and he started chewing it. And then he remembered it, all of them went to a shop after school, and then he saw it, the logo of the shop. They all had a bag with that logo. He spited the sweet, but it was to late. He fell to the floor , and fell sleep. 

 

Alex woke up. He was in an old abandoned house. He was tied to the wall. He could hear something, moans, he wasn’t alone. His eyes started getting used to the dim lighting of the building, and he had started to make up two bodies: Sofie and Iona. He tried to move. The dusty floor creaked making an annoying and loud noise. He couldn’t talk, he had something in his mouth, so he groaned as load as he could. The girls noticed him. “You hf t wrk tgether”said Alex, but everyone understood him. 

 

Alex went near Sofie who broke the thing in Alexes Mouth. The Alex started bitting the rope around Sofie’s hands. It was disgusting. It had loads of dust and it was wet, but with time he finished. Sofie’s wrists were red. He went near Iona and did the same. This time it was harder, the rope had been less time in use, and it was stronger. It was just when he finished that he heard a noise, the door lock opening. 

 

Everyone pretended to be tied. A men came. It was the guy that had attended him in the tuck shop. Alex waited until he was near him and then screamed ‘run’. He held his leg, and both girls started running as fast as they could. It took the waiter five precious seconds to realize what was going on. He tried to run and fell because of Alex. He stood up, kicked Alexes leg and started running, but it was too late. 

 

He came back holding a gun. Alexes nose was bleeding. 

“Stand up” he screamed. Alex obeyed. 

“Come with me, you are going to discover what pain is” Alex was terrified. He followed him in to a forest near the village. Alex could make up some pumpkins with candles inside them, lighting their way. He had to act. He kicked the hand that was holding the gun, which fell to the floor and started running. 

 

He was in the village. Halloween decorations could be seen everywhere. It was really spooky. Alex went into the police office, and said everything, but they didn’t believed him. “ Come on kid, will drive you home, its not time to tell jokes” said one. 

 

Alex was back in school, everything back to normal. An investigation had been officially opened, but the house and the guy were never found. 

 

 

 

Hello, I am Diana and I am 16 years old, my life is like any other girl of my age. Normally on Halloween I stay home and watch movies. This year the plan was different, my family thought it was a good idea to rent a house for the weekend, and so we did. At first I didn’t think it was a good idea, because I don’t like when things that are not on my plans happen. We did it, the house was in the middle of the forest, the nearest village was 1 hour away, but my parents wanted to disconnect from everything, and have a family trip. My parents, my sister, my brother and me. 

The house looked really old, it was made of wood and every time you walked it creaked, but overall it was really big and I really like it. Before the night arrived we all went on a walk, but it started getting late so we headed home. As every Halloween night I went to the room that was mine and I binge watched a lot of comedy movies. I suddenly got hungry so I went downstairs, when I got to the kitchen I saw a shadow, but I ignored it because it was probably nothing. I was preparing my dinner when all of the sudden I heard a voice calling me, I turned around and I saw the same shadow but bigger, so I decided to go to my room and just forget about everything. But eventually I had to go out of my room because I had to go to the toilet, and get ready for bed. When I went downstairs all my family was awake, like if they were waiting for me, and they did. They wanted to spend time together, so I sat with them and we started playing board games. Suddenly my sister said

But I saw that too, I said it, but everyone ignored me. Until, my mom said

But we couldn’t do anything because the village was 1 hour away, so we all went to bed, but eventually my sister shouted, so we all woke up. She said that she was on her bed and she heard someone calling her, so she rolled out of bed and when she was in the hallway she saw someone in it. So we all came to the same conclusion, we had to leave, someone definitely followed us to this house. But when we were leaving we all heard a voice saying:

We couldn’t leave but we couldn’t stay either, so we decided to call the police, but neither of our phones worked. So an idea popped in our minds, we were going to cross the forest and ask for help in the village. We did it even though that mysterious voice told us not to, but we couldn’t just let it be. 

When we were leaving I felt someone touching my arm, like holding me back trying me not to leave, but I couldn’t let a mysterious man hold me back. We were all scared, obviously a man was following us and making us scared. 

All the sudden, when we were almost half way done, we stopped because my father said:

We decided to stop, we were just on a clear spot, when we saw an old men, we thought we could ask him, so we did.

He walked us till the village were we slept and the next day we left, till this day we can’t figure out what happened that night, and we live our lives. But I do sometimes think about going back and finding answers.
