Halloween Story

Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound came from inside the closet. Quietly, I crept toward the door, leaving no trace that I was in the mulberry mansion. The floor creaked as I carefully watched my steps. One after the other. I reached out to grasp the door handle and turned it slowly. "Echhhhh" It sounded as if the handle hadn't been touched for years. It felt cold and rusty and there was a damp mist that spread throughout the room.  As I peered through the door I saw a glimpse of a light then, CRASH! I fell to the ground and my eyes began to feel very, very heavy. The next thing I remember:  Waking up in a dark room, Candles lit, A velvet drape over the windows,  And a whiff of some sort of bleach. I couldn't sit up because I was strapped down on something like a facial bed. I could turn my head though. I peeked behind a candle and saw a figure. This was no ordinary figure. It was very tall, had a red/maroon cape, and in my view looked like it had fangs. I tried to scream but nothing came out. All I could think about was "What is that", "Could it kill me", and "Where am I". Looking at the figure made me ill. I wanted to get out of the Mulberry mansion. I wanted to see my mom and my dad! The figure started moving. Up and out of the room.  I sat and thought about my plan. I remembered that the "Vampire" had come in 30 seconds ago and left 30 seconds after, Which pointed out to me, that I had 1 minute of escape. I quickly tossed, turned, and bit the ropes. They finally came undone. I took a long body pillow and place it on the facial bed I also got a blanket, and put it over top. I looked around the room, Made a run for it, and hid. The figure soon returned with a racket of noise. I could see a little bit behind the velvet curtain. He was carrying a monkey, I didn't know why. The "Vampire" clenched the monkey and opened his mouth. The squeals stopped instantly. All I could see was a broken neck. A dead monkey. I couldn't make out whether it actually was a Vampire, or someone who just liked the taste of monkey. All i´m saying is who wants raw monkey? I made my way around the scene, to find a room full of skulls. The death like stench shot up my nostrils and goosebumps appeared on my arms. I looked around. I found an old photograph, I dusted it off and two people became visible. As I looked closer, these two people had fangs. I heard a sound from the other room, and sprinted out of sight. Another room came into view. I saw a large door that had wood carvings on it. I remembered that door from before. This was the closet! I knew the way out! I dashed through the hallways, the entrance was getting closer and closer. Finally I reached out to grasp the door handle and it turned slowly. "Echhhhh." The shining sun almost blinded my eyes. I couldn't stop running. I ran all the way to my house up on main street. And warned anyone who went near the Mullberry mansion. As I got older I could never forget the experience of that crazy day.
