"It’s Just a Dream"
The trees were swaying back and forth, the winds whispered; the dark night sky was the nightmare of four scared children. It was a cold winter night and the only thing James, Mike, Tonya and Tinichia realized was they are in a dark, spooky, scary big house. Whoever lived here played a trick on them. The doors are locked spooky noises of screams danced around the house. Loud footsteps are arriving closer and closer and closer! Their hearts are racing 3,000 miles per minute.
That evening around 6:00pm, James asked his mother if he can have a sleepover with his friends; Tonya, Mike, and Tinichia. James was your average jock. He played football. He is built like a pitbull. Tinichia was about 5'5, long hair and is very prissy. Tonya is dark skin, with medium length hair and she is very intelligent. She resembles Velma off of Scooby Doo. Mike is about 6'1 he plays basketball and he is cocky. Many of his friends say he looks and plays like Andre Miller from the NBA team, Philadelphia Seventy-Sixer’s. The four friends range between the ages of 14-16. James mother agrees with his idea about the sleepover. She also thinks it might be fun. James calls his friends and they asked their mother's. They said that the can attend the sleepover. Mike arrived around 7:35pm. Then about twenty minutes later Tinichia and Tonya came together. They played almost every board game; Candyland, Sorry, Operation, Trouble, and Perfection. After having all that fun, they grew bored. So they made prank phone calls to houses around the neighborhood. One phone call was to a pizza shop. They ordered four large pizzas, and sixty Buffalo wings, four cheese steaks and two salads. The pizza they ordered was for James’s neighbor. The children hated this lady with a passion. Their relationship was like cat and dog, red and green apples, a balloon and needle. They just don’t mix, at all. When the delivery guy arrived with the food, the lady was leaving out. So he stops her and they began arguing about who's going to pay for the food. The children laughed while looking out the window.
“I want to go down there to mess with old man invisible” said Mike. That is what the friends called him since they never seen him yet and they have been living on that block for about a million years.
“We should. He always messes with us.” James replied.
“Now you know you lying because we don’t know who lives there. You make me sick. You always say stuff that doesn’t make any sense. Shut dummy.” Tonya said.
“You are right we don’t. I’m not any dummy. You can’t call me dumb especially not if your mom inn the same class as me,” said James.
This one house always attracts negative energy. This house was a few houses down the street, from James’s. The four friends always wondered why it looked like that. It was dark, and scary. So they decided to throw rocks at it, to see if anyone would come out to stop them. Tension strikes them like a king cobra, when they step on the sidewalk.
While standing in front of the creepy house, this was only the beginning of a nightmare. While throwing rocks at the door, they noticed suspicious movement and screams. Hearing these voices made them want to go in the house.
When they finally got into the house, everything seemed normal. Well at least up until the doors locked, the windows slammed shut, and then the lights went out. The sound of spooky voices whispered in the night. BAANNNNNGGGGG! CRASH! CRASH! CLICK! CLICK! These sounds began to form a series, one after the other then another. About two minutes later, the lights flicked on and two flashlights fell out of the ceiling. James, saw a note on the left side of the room. This particular note instantly became a trap. But little did they know the house was a maze. The first step they must take to get out was to find a way across the razor sharp, needles that lied on the right and left side of the walls. Theses needles were knives that can be used to cut open a human heart. Noticing these needles the four friend’s hearts began popping out of their chest. The sound of their hearts echoed and did not seize. After passing through the first level, the four friends began to wonder about the difficulty about the next level. When they reached the second level they realized that it wasn’t as bad as the first one. Now that they have reached the third level, they seemed very tired. Then all of sudden it began to get very hot. It was like 900 degrees. Their sweat began to form oceans. Since Tonya had asthma, it was hard for her to breathe so she had to stay behind. James decided to stay with her so she wouldn't be alone.
"Go on without us. We will be okay." Tonya said.
"James and Tonya don't worry we will be back with help." Mike replied.
"Okay. Please hurry. I don't know how much longer she can last." James responded with a weak, soft voice that says that he is in great distress and pain.
Mike and Tinichia finally reached the end of their troubled situation. Then out of nowhere this heavy set man pops out and congratulates them.
"Our friends didn't make it. Can you help them us. Please?” Mike said.
"Sorry but I have no way of doing that!" The man responded.
"So, what does u mean?" Tinichia said.
"You heard me. We are all going to die if we don't.................................." The man voice faded.
"8...7...6...5...4...3...2....." The clock ticks.
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!! Sounds of glass shattered. Bright red and orange flames rose up into the sky. The smoke is a puffy teddy bear. It puffed up and faded away as it moved father up in the night. Everything went wrong. Something that was only supposed to be a joke came out to be the death of five innocent people.
James is awakened from a loud thump form his dog falling down the steps. It sounded like an earthquake. His clothes, sheets, and bed were covered in sweat. James lied in a queen size pond. What he thought to be realistic was only a dream.
