The Mystery of the Castle by Cheyenne Dando

The Mystery of the Castle by Cheyenne Dando

My brother Gerard and I went into an abandoned 200 year old

castle.

“Get out of there as fast as you can!” I yelled to my brother as I watched my steps going into the

mysterious castle.

I heard my brother yell my name, “Bernadette! Come here quick, I found some footprints

on the floor.” So I hurried up to see them. There was something strange about the footprints and I said,

“Come on let’s go.”

All at once, we heard a bang from a door on the second

floor! We looked up the stairs, and saw a face in the

window. My brother screamed with fear. He is as

scared as a little girl.

We started walking up the stairs to the second floor,

trying to find who else was in the castle.

I yelled, “John!” I was hoping that it was my cousin. He is

always trying to scare me and Gerard, but there was no

answer.

It started getting dark outside. I grabbed a big candle and lit it. There

were spider webs everywhere. I urged my

brother to follow me.

We started down a long hallway filled with windows.

Suddenly, I saw a figure on the wall, and it looked like a

person. I screamed, “Who are you?” It was gone! I have never been so scared in my life.

Fredrick's room

So we kept on walking down the hall until we saw a door that had a sign--

“Fredrick's room.” Then, Gerard opened the door and to our surprise, the room looked as though someone

had been living here. In fact, someone----our age!

We went into the room, and the door slammed with a big bang!

I jumped out of my skin in fright.

We turned around and saw a boy that was white

as a ghost. Gerard said, “Hello are

you Fredrick?” “Yes, and I'm a friendly vampire,” said Fredrick

quietly.

“What are your names?” asked Fredrick.

“I'm Gerard and this is my sister Bernadette. We are

humans, and I was thinking why there is a little vampire

boy in a 200 year old castle?”

So Fredrick asked us if we wanted to play and we said yes we would love to

play with him. “Thank you,” Fredrick answered

happily. You guys are awesome. May I come and live with you. Please, I don’t

have anywhere else to go.” We both said “Yes” to Fredrick, and we

lived happily ever after.
