of Knights micro Terror. The Creeper written by May, age seven. Jimmy,
Come on, Liam said, why do we have to do this?
We will become famous, Jimmy shouted back as he pushed
his way ahead of Liam. The two best friends were
scouring the woods to find the treasure left by Franklin
Miller aka the Creeper. Legend has it that many years ago,
in their small town, Franklin lived a life of luxury.
His family owned half the town and all the riches
that came with it. That is until influenza hit the town,
taking Franklin's entire family with it. Shortly After Franklin is
said to have gone mad, he gathered all his prized
posessions and made his way into the woods, never to
be seen alive again. Many think his treasure is buried here,
where he haunts the woods to this day. Franklin the
Creeper is not a friendly ghost either. Still bitter and
angry over his family's tragic demise, Franklin takes his revenge
on any who dare to come into his woods. At
least that's what kids a school say. Maybe their parents
just tell them that so they don't go into the
woods alone. Making up the story of this booky man,
but Liam wholeheartedly believed it. He wanted to be the
first to find the creeper's buried treasure. As the boys
crunched through the red and orange leaves, Jimmy began humming
a familiar tune. He didn't like the silence. It made
the hair on his arms stand up. Jimmy didn't know
if he believed in the legend of Franklin Miller, but
the further they walked into the woods, the more uneasy
he became. As Liam trudged ahead, he thought he saw
something shiny at the base of a maple tree. He
sprinted over and yelled, Jimmy, look over here. He glanced back,
expecting to see his best friend right behind him, but
Jimmy was gone, and all that was left was silence.
The end.
Speaker 3: Truth or Dare by Nira Ziegler, age eight, Mia, Isabella,
and Olive arrive at Vanessa's house for a sleepover. They
realize all their parents are out of town for the night.
They feel scared and nervous, and then think it might
be exciting to be alone overnight. Isabella remembers her parents
left money for pizza, so she calls to order it.
Olive says, let's play truth or Dare, and the others agree.
Vanessa says truth or Dare. Mia picks dare. Vanessa dares
her to do nicky Nicky nine doors and Mia agrees.
Then Vanessa says on Alva. Everyone gasps. Alva is a
creepy old, witchy lady that lives down the road. Mia hesitates,
but agrees. She walks down the stairs and out the door.
The others watch until she is out of sight. The
girls are nervously waiting when the doorbell rings and startles them.
Isabella realizes it's just a pizza. She gets the pizza
and brings it back upstairs. They all grab pizza Matariti
get when Vanessa notices that Mia really should be back
by now. Suddenly it starts to pour rain. The girls
continue eating pizza and getting more and more worried about Mia.
Suddenly they hear a scream in the distance. Isabella thinks
it could be a rooster, but the rest no it
was human. They discuss what they should do, and Vanessa
suggests they use her parents' old raincoats and go to
find Mia. They start to get really worried and scared,
thinking about all the horrible things Alva could have done.
They head out the front door and run until they
arrive at Alva's. They look up to the top floor
and see Mia tie it up in the window with
tape over her mouth. Mia sees them and tries to scream.
The girls find a ladder under some vines and decide
to use it to climb up and save Mia. They
grab the ladder, remove the vines, and lean it against
the house, and they climb up. They get inside and
take the tape off MIA's mouth. Mia says she'll be
back to check on me. Let's go everyone climbs down
and they put the ladder back so Alva doesn't know
they were there. They run as fast as they can
back to Vanessa's, lock the door behind them, and run upstairs,
breathing heavily. Maya tells them what happened. I rang the
doorbell and it was about to run away when Alva
opened the door. Hey, I grabbed me. She muttered a spell,
and the next thing I remember, I was being tied
up in that room. Alva would check on me and
tell me she'd get me if I tried to escape.
They didn't sleep at all that night, as they were
terrified Alva would come and get them all. When their
parents got home the next day, they told them what
happened and called the police. When the police checked Alva's house,
it was totally empty and there was no sign of
Alva or the chair Maya was tied to. They did
not find out what happened, and Alva was never seen
or heard from again. The girls never played Truth or
Dare ever again. The Nightmare of Teddy my Theokrilos, aged nine.
There was once a boy called Teddy, and Teddy was
scared of well a lot of things. Whenever Teddy thought
about something scary, really thought about it, that thing became
a nightmare. The nightmare would crawl out of his thoughts
and haunt him. But Teddy knew the secret. If he
stopped thinking about it, the nightmare would disappear. One night,
Teddy woke suddenly and saw a shadow with glowing red
eyes run across his room. From then on, every night
the nightmare came back, and Teddy was too scared to
fall asleep again. Soon, the nightmare didn't just visit at night.
One afternoon, Teddy was on the couch eating crisps and
watching a movie while his mommy was at work. The
room grew darker. A shadow slid along the wall, its
red eyes burning. It crouched ready to pounce. The door opened, Hi, sweetheart,
I'm home. The shadow vanished. That was when Teddy realized
what he had to do. That night, when the shadow
appeared again, Teddy sat up straight and said, you're not real.
The nightmare disappeared. For the next five days, Teddy slept peacefully.
He dreamed of happy things, sunshine, laughter, and fawn adventures.
He thought the nightmare was gone forever. Then on the
sixth night, Cray Teddy woke up. The room was silent.
Slowly he opened his eyes in the darkness, two red,
glary eyes stared straight at him.
Speaker 1: The end.
Speaker 3: The Haunted Woods by Corven Ziegler, aged six. Once upon
a time, Aiden, a ten year old boy who works
at the black was delivering a package of two knives,
a sword, an axe, and a saw. He was delivering
it to a house on the other side of the
dark Woods. The villagers believed the woods were haunted, but
Aiden didn't. As he walked, the trees reached down and
touched him. He got scared, ran off the trail, and
got lost. Aiden found an abandoned cabin. There were human
bones scattered around the outside of the cabin and hanging
from the roof on red wire. They seemed to have
blood dripping off of them. Aiden goes inside and walks
into the room. The pictures on the wall start to move.
He hears a noise go ooooooo. Suddenly, loud metal rock
music starts playing. It's so loud the windows shatter. Aiden
turns and sees the door close and locked. He jumps
out a window and runs. He runs for four hours
in the darkness and then runs right into the side
of a house. He turns around and sees a cave
with four pairs of glowing yellow eyes in it. Two
bears and two wolves come running out of the cave.
Aiden runs and they start to chase him. He finally
arrives at the river. The village is on the other side.
He cuts down a tree with the axe and knocks
the tree over to make a bridge. He walks across
it to safety. He walks through sword grass to the
village and delivers the package. Aiden was safe, but his arms,
hands and face were covered in cuts from the sharp grass.
After this, Aiden believed the woods were haunted. The Graveyard
Gold by Marley Reimer, Age nine. One cold afternoon, Ash
and her pet minks the black Cat where had a
great uncle, Marty's house, searching through his old books. Ash's
great uncle died three weeks ago from a heart attack
in his sleep. As Ash was thinking about him, she
found an old run down book. It was covered in dust,
so she blew on it. When she did, she discovered
it had a gold necklace in grieving on the front cover.
Ash felt intrigued, so she opened it. As she did,
a shiny green emerald fell out, along with a piece
of paper addressed to Ash me. Ash wondered. The piece
of paper said, dear Ash, if you are reading this,
then I must be long gone. I will be buried
with a golden necklace, but it's missing a green emerald piece.
If you have that emerald piece, please come and place
it on the necklace. If you don't, my soul will
be stuck on. Well, here's the thing. I'll be stuck
and buried on an island where all of our relatives
were buried. The island is called Relative Riot Island because
it is also majorly haunted. Sorry I pulled you into
this mess. PS, I love you, Love your great uncle.
Ash was completely astonished. Thirty minutes later, Ash had read
enough of the book to understand what was really going on.
Now she had to get a boat to where he
was buried, but she remembered that her great uncle said
it was haunted. She was scared, but she knew she
had to do it. Minks was of course going too,
so they decided to find a cat friendly boat. That's
going to be hard, Ash thought. The next morning, Ash
and Minx were boarding a cat friendly boat to Relative
Riot Island. Thankfully, Ash remembered the green emerald Ash was
extremely nervous and could tell Minks was too. He always
paused at Ash when he is nervous. Finally, the boat
arrived to relative Riot Island. The sand was gray, with
black and white shells scattered around. Smell was horrid. It
smelt like crushed bones mixed with raw rotting meat, gross,
Ash thought, disgusted. The rest of the land was covered
with tombstones. It looked like a graveyard, but worse, way worse,
more like a death yard. Five minutes later, Ash and
Minx were looking at Ash's great uncle's gravestone, and suddenly
Ash and Minx hurt. A moan, then a groan. Minx
suddenly jumped out of Ashes shivering arms and hid behind
a gravestone. Ash was scared without Minx, so she quickly
followed behind. Minx meowed at Ash, wanting her to be silent. Okay,
Ash whispered. Surprisingly, two ghosts appeared in front of them.
The ghosts in a transparent blue like tone. They were
wearing soldier uniforms with an army hat. Gosh Arden so
jealous of Marty, exclaimed one of the ghosts. I am too,
How come you get to have all of that treasure?
I'm think of having nothing, said the other ghost.
Speaker 2: Smartly.
Speaker 3: I think I have a plan, said the first ghost.
But we'll have to get our hands dirty to complete it. Yeah,
and we can rip apart anyone he tries to foil
our plan. As the two ghosts were blabbing to each other,
Ash realized they were talking about her great uncle. Ash's
heart was pounding faster than a bullet being shot into
the air. Her palms were sweating, Her heart was haunted
with trembling fear. Her eyes started to flood with tears,
until it felt as if every teardrop was screaming in terror.
When the sun was about to set, the ghosts disappeared.
Ash stood up, her eyes blurry from all her tears.
She looked at her great uncle's grave, then out to sea.
She loved her great uncle, but wasn't enough to risk
being caught by vain ghosts determined to do whatever it
takes to get what they want. Minks scratched at Ash
as if he knew what she was thinking. I'm sorry,
great Uncle, I can't do it. Ash curled into a ball,
wishing she had never got into this mess. Ash cried
until her eyes stopped blinking. Her heart stopped beating and
her lungs stopped inhaling, her body never to be seen again.
People still say they see her sobbing soul wandering the island,
still trying to work up the courage to release her
great uncle to the Great Beyond. And for her great uncle,
he never moved on to the Great beyond, let alone
got off the island.
Speaker 2: The end.
