A tiny voice asked, “Is he the one?” they moved closer, “yes I think he is the one,” another tiny voice said. The boy was sleeping in his bed. He had left the window open; it was a mistake. Two balls of light came in floating magically. They had been waiting for this day and it was finally here.






“He has the mark, ”they said. “I think it is wrong to take him , but we have orders and we can’t disobey.” The boy’s mom had told him not to leave the window open; she knew what was going to happen because she also had the mark.






They were going to take her away when she was his age, but her mom did a quest so they wouldn’t take her away it was a hard quest very dangerous monsters, animals, and strangers.






His mom got up at night as always to check if the window was closed. “Oh no! They have gotten in," screamed the boy’s mom.

His dad came running "What happened?” He saw the window “Oh no.

The boy woke up. “What happened?” he said.

"It's time to say goodbye,”said his mom.

 “But why?” he asked.

 “You’ll know when you get there,” his parents said.

Mr.Linden's Library by Stephanie

Mr. Linden’s Library




by:Stephanie A.






Every Halloween night Mr. Linden puts a table full of scary books so people could check them out. The library was there for 11 years as long as I remember. It had been in Mr. Linden’s family for a pretty long time so you could imagine how it was. The walls were dirty and the paint was coming out plus the windows were broken . Mr. Linden had no time to clean the library because he was too busy with customers coming in and out of the library. That night the library was all alone like it was on Halloween night it was rare that people came.






All of the sudden a lady came in she was not that tall and not that small. She was young , pretty, and intelligent--you could tell by the way she looked for books. Plus she got really good books. "Good night Mr.Linden,” said the girl.  

"Well, good night to you too, Vanessa. What brings you here this day?”asked Mr. Linden.

"I want a book that makes me want to scream all the night and I mean it,” said Vanessa.

"I’m going to show you the most scariest book, but I have to warn you there’s something weird about that book ,”uttered Mr. Linden.The last person that read it was found dead in their own house. She took the book even when Mr. linden told her the risk she was taking.






When Vanessa got to her house she got comfortable and she started to read.Meanwhile Mr. Linden wanted to call Vanessa back so he could save someones life and destroy that book.At that moment Mr. Linden heard a scream that came from Vanessa’s apartment.






When he got there Vanessa was in the ground she looked like she was sleeping but the true was that she was dead.Mr. Linden took the book and ripped the pages from it and threw it away.






The next morning Mr. Linden put the scary books back in there shelves and suddenly the book was back.In that moment he backed up and !BOOM! the shelves crashed him, he was dead.






During the funeral  ,Alice, Mr.Linden’s niece got a newsletter that was left for her written by Mr.Linden.It said that now that he was dead she was going to be in charge of the library.She was so happy that she was in the family work .The question was what will happen to her.

Will she survive the terrible book?

A tiny voice asked “Is he the one?” the two lights got closer to have a better view, but when they boy moved his hand “Watch it,”the other small light warned. “He’s not the one lets keep moving.” Those small lights thought they were never going to find the boy indicated, but they knew to never give up.

Momma, momma Archie says then Mrs.Smith interrupts “Good morning sweetheart” “Oh good morning Momma by the way I wanted to tell you that I've been having this strange dream over and over of these two tiny lights looking for me but they aren’t able to find me.” “Archie those things that you have are not going to become truth.” “Those things are called dreams momma!”Archie said “But momma the other day I had a dream you were going to give me $20 and it became truth.”

Well aren’t you a lucky boy that every single little thing that you want you get to have.” “Mom then became very mad and upset and I wasn’t sure why, every time I said stuff like that she got mad which was really weird.” I was sure that something was wrong with her and why did she never talk about her childhood? I was going to figure all this out someway or the other.

I got prepared for school I couldn’t wait to talk to my friend Lorenzo Malkmire.When I got to school I told Lorenzo all about my dream and he just stould there shocked he couldn’t believe that every time that I had a dream it became truth.He asked many questions like when you dream of something scary it does become truth , but I just said I never dreamed those kind of stuff. Lorenzo was also surprised he said he always had those scary dreams.I said maybe he needed something to help him keep his scary dreams away.

Archie changed the subject and told Lorenzo if he could help him find out why his mom was acting weirdly, when school was over Lorenzo decided to go to Archie’s house to find out what Archie wanted to know.When they got their they went in the house quietly they went upstairs and listened carefully to what Archie’s mom was saying they heard her saying I never had all of my dreams come true my qinceanera was never accomplished and he never liked me my , husband.Me and Lorenzo went back to the door quietly we knocked and waited for an answer when mom answered she had a depressing face and had been crying.She quickly cleaned her tears and said “The paint got in my eye sorry,” we had heard everything she’d said and she was lying about everything of her childhood,but  nowI  knew why my dad never lived with us.My mom lived a horrible life when she lived with her parents.Now what I needed to find out was what did those two lights want and why were they looking for me.

That same night I had the dream again of the two tiny lights, but this time I had the dream for a longer time and the lights had finally found me, I asked in the dream who were they and what they wanted they told me they were my grandparents, and they wanted to take me with them I was confused but then I tried to open my eyes from the dream, but it was to late already they had tooken me with them to the sky.The only thing I remember was my mom trying to wake me up and screaming.My spirit was free, the doctors had no idea why I had died.My mom was very upset and lived a very unhappy life, but she soon learned how to keep on going on with life, she visited my tomb every day and always told me what was going on, on her new life.Also my mom found out I knew all about her life and she was just happy that I didn’t go with any secrets of her, Lorenzo had told her that we had heard all she had said.I had turned the third tiny light, I will meet you in your dreams.         By AMY

The Third Floor Bedroom

                                       The Third Floor Bedroom 


It all started when someone left the window open in the third floor bedroom where the wind was blowing so hard.

The little girl ran all the way to the first floor and told her mom, “ mommy the wind scares me alot.” Then her mom said, Oh honey theres nothing to be scared of its just the wind.” “Okay mommy” said the 8 year old Emily.

The next morning when Emily woke up she heard noises on the third floor bedroom, she always heard noises on the the third floor bedroom.

But why there? she thought. She went up there alone her mom and dad were still sleeping that Saturday morning.

She opened the window and the wind threw her in the bed. Emily thought the wind was some kind of spirit of the person who once lived there.Then Emily heard a voice said “you’re alone” and she knew right away that the voice that said that was the mysterious wind. She didn't know what “you’re alone” meant so she ran all the way down to the first floor and went into her mom and dads room but before she could even speak she saw her mom and dad dead.

Emily thought that her parents had been possessed by the strange wind for like 5 minutes and then killed even though she didn't want to believe it she had to. Now she knew what “your alone” meant. She was crying and she was alone in that big and scary house. Emily kept hearing people uttering happily in the third floor bedroom. She was freaking out her hands were shaking and she felt sad about what happened to her parents now the best she could do was go to her neighbors house.

But she didn't want to leave her parents even though they were already dead. She went to her neighbors house and then the police came and they inspected the whole house. Four days had past and Emily and some of her family members where in her parents funeral. That same day at about 6 pm Emily heard on the news that the house had the spirits of the people who use to live there and that they had killed 3 other families including Emilies.

After all that Emily went to live with her aunt and uncle in New York. Emily never forgot what happened to her parents because of the third floor bedroom. But who knows if that house might kill another family like it happen to Emily Mclovin. Poor girl her parents died and she was alone with her aunt and uncle.

When Emily was 20 years old her aunt and uncle died and there was nobody else she could stay with so she got married with a handsome man that had beautiful blue eyes and treated her like she deserved. Emily would never forget what happened every time she was reminded of it.

A Strange Day in July-By Diego Ramirez

 A Strange Day in July

On one Saturday afternoon Karen and Joy decided to go outside and have some fun with the lake. But first they asked permission to their grandma. Their parents were no longer more with them because they had mysteriously disappeared one morning , fishing on the large lake.

So their grandma did gave permission to them to have fun , but with one condition. They must come before the sun leaves.

As they left happily racing to the lake , Karen got an idea of what to play first. Skipping rocks threw the lake's water. It wasn't a racing game nor a winning game. They were just going to play for fun.



About ten minutes later they couldn't breath any more , so they took a rest on one of those huge rocks that are as big as a tree. Next , Joy showed Karen how a strong boy throws a rock on to the water that will not stop skipping." Yeah right," Karen said in a low voice making sure not to let Joy hear.



The first stone only skipped two times. The second one just went down into the deep lake.He threw with all his might , but the third stone came skipping back. It hit his top of his forehead and down he fell in the dirty mud floor. Karen slid down from the huge rock screaming "Joy , Joy!" Running to help him , she grab his forehead rubbing it , but more blood came out. The cut didn't seem to hurt that much because Joy then stood up.



Trying to get revange , Joy threw about three rocks at the same time and again the rock came back, but this time it hit the innocent girl. She began to move her injured arm. A thin stream of blood came down. With the help of his brother , he gave her water in both hands to calm. The water wasn't salty at all , and that was really strange. She drank more and all the pain went off. Was the water magic?



Anyway , Joy was pleased that Karen didn't said "eeow" or "no" when she drank water. Besides, Karen's cut closed and her stream of blood had already dried. His brother was still touching his forehead and was impressed by her sister's cut, it vanished. So he decided to drink water too , no matter what. When suddenly a blood drop fell into the water from his head and two voices came out in the foggy air "we are free!"

The mysterious voice said in a squeaky, “ you dont believe in me why and I give you money?!.” What are you talking about whined Mike.



Its me the big fat tooth-fairy. I’ve known you since you were little, you stoped believing in me why?



Mike was confused.



The big fat tooth-fairy spoke again but this time sadly, “you stoped believing in me when you were about 7 or 8 years old! How dare you I give you money and all you give me is a rotten stinky tooth!



Mike the 13 year old boy know knew what he was talking about. Mike yelled back, “ shut up, leave me alone” “ this is just one stupid dream” “ this is to childish it cant be true”.



The tooth-fairy started laughing so loud." Muah ha ha ha ha” he also said, “ I’ll been waiting years for this moment, and know that is finally here I could enjoy it and I’m real I’m real as your mama.

Two weeks passed it happened again . It was really strange , the rug always moved around , I tought of the worst things , sometimes I would tell myself , “ What if there is a evil little possessed creature that takes you to an underworld ? “ . But then id convince myself and say , “ No its just a rat or a bug , “ but i never had enough courage to lift the rug up to see what was there.






But one day i heard the loudest whispers coming from under the rug , I would also sometimes hear cries , i leaned over to hear more clearly , but then all of a sudden a black dark shadow came out of from under the rug , I got terrified , the shadow started chasing me I tripped over and fell over the rug .






When I woke up I was in a dark place , it was filled with spiderwebs it was dark cold and had goblin stones on the ceiling it was also sinister looking .






I looked around me there was weird people in black robes that covered their faces they were saying some weird things that I suppose were in another language.






I started to run but they caught me and tied me up .






The man who tied me was short , bald he had more hair on his face than his head he was grinning at me his beady eyes were staring closely at me angrily those beady eyes followed you everywhere .






I was hung up for about an hour , because swat teams came and rescued me I was relived .






I found out that my house was a sinister underworld wanted back in the days , but the mystery still goes on of who is the tall black Shadow and who are the people in the underworld .

Under the Rug

Two weeks passed an it happened again. The creepy ugly old house door opened. I was so nervous and creeped out. I told my sister , Maria, “Maybe the devil wants to posses us.” My sister said “No because why would he be opening the closet door?” At that moment I got really scared because what if my sister was wrong! My mom wasn’t there to protect us because she went to work and also my dad. The house phone didn’t work because it was disconnected.
While I was asleep the closet door kept on moving and saying stuff like “come,come!” Me and my sister were at the same ugly bed ,but we were still scared. I felt really curious, so I went to check if somebody was there. At that moment I opened it and .... “KABOOM!” I saw an old lady with a black dress. Her teeth were as ugly as a crocodile’s teeth, her old and wrinkled face looked like it was about to fall off. “I am going to take you with me and so we can but some ice cream,” she said with her old creepy voice. At that instant I went running out that ugly old house with my sister. We went to my aunty’s house,Linda, she lived right across the street.


When we were there we told Linda all what happened to us. She was shocked and said “Wow that is creepy you should of came earlier!” “You girls should tell you’re parents to get a priest called Mr.Lossy." The next morning Maria and I went to our house and my mom was so worried about us. Maria told them everything of what happened. “What!” my mom said with fright. Right away we called priest Mr. Lossy.


Mr. Lossy had crooked teeth and his hair was very white and old. When he came to my house and put holy water. At that moment all of the house started moving! I had goosebumps and “Eek!” Sounds started saying. Then, the priest stopped throwing the holy water and everything was back to normal. My parents my sister and I left the house just in case something strange ever happened. Maybe it’s not ! Who ever lives there may have bad luck!
