Something Coming
I was leaving gymnastics when I opened the door POOF I was on a street probably not close to my home. It mostly looked like a rundown city. I shivered with fear, thinking I would never see my home again, when out of the corner of my eye an owl flew bye. It was holding something… wait it was my wallet! I sprinted towards it and ended up outside of a raggedy old house. In the front of it, printed in large letters, stated Merlin’s Magic Shop. In smaller letters it said “Come In If You Dare”. I peered up and was astonished. A little voice told me “go in”. Without even thinking, I tripped into the shop as if someone pushed me. I breathed in deeply a wild musky smell flittered up my nose. Soon when I looked up, I felt not only curious and excited, but also at home, as if I’ve seen this place before. It was awesome. Suddenly with a bang, the door slammed shut. Maybe someone was following me after all, the same thing that made the voice in my head and pushed me in and slammed the door. Suddenly, in the corner of my eye something white fluttered by. A prickle ran up my spine. Was it a ghost? I kept telling myself, no it was just my imagination playing a trick on me but there was always that little voice in my head saying “what if it wasn’t?” My thoughts were interrupted by a little giggle. I ran as fast as I could, avoiding wands, creatures and colorful balls, but I felt no matter how fast I ran I would never outrun it. Suddenly, after running all around the shop, almost running into trolls, capes, more wands, potions and everything else you would think was in a magic shop, the giggling finally stopped. I found myself in front of a man with a white beard and a smile printed on his face. But what he was wearing astonished me the most. He had a matching jewel colored hat and robe. He also had a name tag that stated Merlin. Instead of talking, I just stood there looking at him for what seemed like eternity. He finally interrupted the silence by saying “We’ve been expecting you.” I thought to myself thinking who the other person was. Like he read my mind, he said “Me and my wife Merlene”. Out of nowhere my grandma appeared. Without even thinking, I ran out of the side door that was strangely open and I ended up in my front yard. I ran up my front steps and threw myself onto the couch. My dog Chloe jumped up beside me then suddenly her ears perked up. The giggling was back I jumped on my feet and ran into my bedroom I reached into my pocket…… Chapter 2 The letter

I pulled out a ripped piece of paper and it stated: you have brought the living dead home to save you and your family you half to put it back to sleep to do that you must follow these steps: 1. Meet the ghost 2. Find out their secrets 3. Get what they need 4. Send them to sleep. I thought to myself. How was I going to do this? Bang the door slammed shut. MOM!
