The Night Before Halloween
It was a dark and stormy night. It was the worst storm I have ever seen. It was just after nine
o'clock. The neighbors who are about five miles up the road that live in an old castle up on a hill have been staying up all night in just one room. I don't know why but this gave me the creeps. I heard someone knocking on the door. It was my brother Nick. I opened the door but my dog ran out of the house. I realized that we had to go outside to find Drizzle, my black lab. So Nick and I went outside to find Drizzle.
“We have been searching for an hour now Claire, we need to start heading back to the house the storm is getting really bad. I'm sure Drizzle can find his way back home.” Nick said.
“I'm not leaving Drizzle out here alone!” I said firmly.
Nick sighed then said that when the storm starts to lighten up a little bit we will come back outside and keep looking.
We were just about to head back to the house when Nick held up his hand and whispered “Shh did you hear that?”
“I don't hear anything” I said as I kept walking but then I heard something too. So Nick and I went to check it out thinking it was Drizzle of course. I mean who else would be out here in a storm like this at this time of night. I saw something down the road it was Drizzle! I was running toward him when this monster came out of the woods and grabbed Drizzle. Drizzle gave out a high pitch yelp. Nick and I started running. This thing was starting to chase us, it was slow. It had short black hair and kind of a wrinkled green face with two
silver bolts sticking out of its neck and stitches along its head. I thought I was going crazy! I had to be.
Nick and I ran into the woods hoping we would lose him. But the monster just broke everything in its path; it was a bad idea too. Nick tripped over a log or something and twisted his ankle really bad. “Run!!!” Nick yelled to me. I told him I would not leave him alone then the monster came in to eyesight Nick said it was no good if it got both of us. So I started running being very careful where I put my feet. I felt really bad for leaving Nick. I didn't hear anything so I was thinking maybe he somehow got away but then...I heard this horrifying scream. It was Nick, the monster had him.
I felt like I was stuck in the middle of a horror movie. My heart was racing as adrenaline was rushing through my veins. I could not believe what was happening. I kept telling myself it was just a bad dream but I knew it wasn’t this was very, very, very real. I was scared out of my mind all I could think about was Nick and Drizzle. I slowed down just for a split second to glance over my shoulder to see what was happening.
The monster was taking him towards the castle I didn't even want to think or know what about was going to happen. I had never ran so fast or hard in my life. As I dodged the trees and logs I was hoping I was going the right direction to my house. I think I was going the right way but I was not that sure if I was or not. I was getting really tired of running. Each step was becoming harder and harder to do. I could barely breath I was gasping for air and trying so hard not to stop running. My arms and legs were scratched from some tree branches but nothing that bad. I had to slow down to walk I couldn’t run anymore I had no energy left. I started to slowly creep out of the thick bushes. But stayed in cover of the trees and bushes for fear that the monster or whatever it was would come back for me. I stopped and looked around I knew where I was now. I was about five minutes from my house.
It has been two days since what happened. There is still no sign of Nick or Drizzle. So I decided to pick up the phone and call the police.
“9-1-1, what's your emergency?” The operator said with a flat tone.
“My brother Nick and my dog Drizzle have been missing for two days now. And I can't find them anywhere.” I replied.
“OK ma’am I'm sending the police over right now.”
It was about an hour after I phoned 9-1-1 when I heard a knock on the door. It was the police. It didn't surprise me that they took so long after all I am in the middle of nowhere. I opened the door for the two officers. We sat down on my couch. “OK so tell us what happened.” the Police Officer asked me. I told them that Nick who was my brother took my dog Drizzle out for a walk. Cause they both like the rain. I laughed a little. Thinking how true that was. He was going to check that castle on that hill that is up the road. And I was getting worried that something had happened to them when I woke up in the middle of the night which was around 3:45AM when they still had not come back I said to the Officer's. “So why did you wait two days until you called 9-1-1?” One of them asks me. I told them that I thought maybe he got lost in the storm or something.
They looked at the creepy old castle up the road and then looked at one another with that “You thinkin what I'm thinking?” look. Then they asked me if I would mind coming with them to the castle. I thought for a second then said yes. Stop the car Phil said one of the Police Officers to the other one. He stopped the car. He looked at the trees they were all broken like something really big and powerful just burst right through them. They slowly entered the woods with their guns drawn. “Stay there.” One of them said. It was three minutes when they came back with a bag marked “EVIDENCE” with a shoe in it. I gasped. The shoe was destroyed and had a bit of blood on it.
When we finally got to the castle, we got out of the car. They knocked on one of the big huge wooden doors. This place really creeps me out. I said to myself. We were just heading back to the car when a man opened the door. And said “May I help you with something Officers?” He was wearing a white lab coat, and wearing this big round thing around his eyes that kind of looked like swimsuit goggles but bigger. And this round small metal thing on his forehead. “Yes. We are looking for a missing person and an um a dog. Who went missing two days ago roughly between 10:00PM and 2:50AM we got a reason to believe they were headed here.” The Police Officer said.
“Oh dear, I am terribly sorry Officers but I have no ide-. He paused. Was he with a black dog? The man asked curiously with almost a sinister like grin. You could tell he already knew the answer. “Yes.” One of the officers said.
“As a matter of fact I have seen them. Two nights ago the man was knocking on my door and asked if he and the dog could crash for the night or until the storm passes. I told him that he was more than welcome to stay for the night. But the dog would have to stay in the basement.” He said. That would be fine. So he and the dog stayed for the night and around. Err what time was it? I think it was around 11:24AM he left. Nice man. Good dog to.” He said.
“OK Thank-you very much Mr.-” The Officer paused realizing he didn’t know the man's last name. “Dr. Frankenstein” He said to the officer. “OK Thank-you very much Dr. Frankenstein” Said the officer correcting himself. As we head to the car I heard this loud moan. Did you hear that? I said to one the officers. “Hear what?” One of them said. That moan I replied. They listened for a second.
One of the Officers said “I don't hear anything.” As we headed down the hill I knew something was up. He was way too nice. Can’t you guys just go in there and search his place? I asked them “Not without a warrant. Besides we got no proof he has them. But well saying that I do think he is hiding something. “I got a plan.” one the officers said. “When night has fallen we will search around his place see if we find anything” “Good idea Phil!” Replied the Police Officer. Night has fallen. We drove up to the castle it was a bright night out. When we got to the top of the hill the Officers got out the car but of course told me to stay in the car. The Officers had their flash lights out searching around the house. Phil, come here I see them. One the Officers hissed. It was Drizzle and Nick! Nick was tied up on the wall well Drizzle was chained up. The Officers broke into the bottom of the basement by breaking one of the windows. The place was really dark and damp. Body parts everywhere. One of the Officers got Nick then the other got Drizzle just as they were leaving there was this really loud moan. It was the monster! He was coming after them! “RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!” Screamed Nick, Nick grabbed Drizzle and threw him up to one the officers who was already out just as Nick was climbing out the window the monster grabbed his leg and started pulling. The two officers grabbed Nick and pulled him with one really big tug. They got Nick free. As they were running to the car we could hear the monster trying to smash his way out. When Nick, Drizzle and the two officers got in the car they flicked on their lights and went as fast as they could down the hill radioing for back up. But not mentioning the monster after all who would believe them? The officers dropped us off at our house. I asked them what would happen now he told me to look and pointed his finger to the castle there was about half a dozen police cruisers going up the hill as fast as they could. There was even a helicopter with a spotlight. The officer looked at Nicks ankle and said “You didn’t get lost in the storm did you?” “No” Nick replied. We thanked the two officers. When we got home, we locked the doors, turned on all the lights, and sat up the rest of the night, afraid to sleep.
