Laughing Until You Die

The horror all began when I broke my foot. I had to have surgery on it because all four bones in it were broken. I had to stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery to recover. When I was in my bed watching TV a clown came in to cheer me up. He looked so creepy and I’m not afraid of clowns! I didn’t want to talk to him. He took a seat by my bed.
“Hey kid, like balloons?” the clown asked.
“Um, could you leave? I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m, uh, thinking,” I said.
“Hey kid, you want to die?” the clown roared getting up. I stared in horror.
The clown then sat back down all calm again. “Now, my name is Bert The Clown, let me make something from the balloons,” Bert told making an odd thing.
“Uh, what’re you making?” I asked in horror.
He then gave me this very weird thing.
“It’s your liver, if you tell anyone about this, I’ll pull your liver out of your body,” Bert growled.
I stared in horror. The clown then got up and left. I was pale with fear. I couldn’t get Bert’s face out of my mind!
When my mom and dad came to see me I was too afraid to tell them what happened.
About two days later, I was in my hospital room getting ready to get my cast off when I looked out the window and saw that same clown looking at me smiling. He then pointed at me and then made this choking sign.
I stared in horror about to scream but I didn’t let it out.
Then 1 day later I left the hospital with my cast finally off with my mom and dad.
“Finally, I’m out of the hospital!” I cheered.
“Yep, when you get home you can go outside,” my dad told.
I then got in the car and when we were about to leave I looked outside and saw Bert The Clown standing about 300 feet away from the car.
He then raised balloons and said “Die laughing kid,”
I screamed. My mom and dad looked back. “What?” they asked with an odd look on their faces.
“Um, nothing,” I answered as they drove out of the parking spot.
Bert The Clown waved to me smiling as the car drove away. I then turned away pale and scared.
When we got home I rode my bike to Zack’s house and went on the driveway. Zack was two years younger than me but could still hang with sixth graders. He was cool.
Seth and Natalie were there too. Seth was my age. He was fun. And Natalie was a girl my age who was aggressive and kind of pretty.
“Hey Ian!” Zack greeted.
“What’s up guys, it’s nice to get out of the hospital,” I responded getting off my bike.
“How was the hospital?” Natalie asked.
“Pretty boring, but guys, there was this clown that was stalking me at the hospital and threatened to kill me!” I gasped.
“A killer clown at a hospital? What, did they take out your brain during the surgery?” Seth asked.
“Wait! What was his name?” Zack gasped.
“Bert The Clown,” I responded.
Zack turned pale. “When I broke my arm when I was 6, I was brought to the hospital to get in a cast and while I was in the waiting room, a very freaky hospital clown walked up to me and whispered in my ear that I’ll die soon!” Zack gulped.
“Are you all crazy?” Natalie asked.
“Maybe, but it freaked me out so much!” I gulped.
All of the sudden a rusty old van parked in front of Zack’s driveway.
We all started at the van oddly. Bert The Clown then came out of the van giggling with balloons in his hand dancing around.
Natalie and Seth giggled but Zack and I stared in horror. Zack and I tried to sneak away but Bert then grabbed onto us and it really hurt but it looked like it was soft. Zack and I groaned. Bert then whispered something to Zack and I.
“Your eyes will be torn out and be used as my big nose,” he whispered. Seth and Natalie couldn’t hear.
“Well, free balloons,” Bert giggled letting go of us and giving us 4 balloons.
“Cool!” Natalie laughed.
Bert the clown then danced away into his van and drove away. Seth and Natalie then started to cheer. Zack and I were shaking in horror.
“See, that clown was funny,” Seth laughed.
“Well, didn’t you hear him whisper to us?” I asked in horror.
The van then parked again and Bert the clown came out of it.
“Great! The clown again!” Natalie cheered.
Bert the clown then came out of the car dancing around. “What’s up Bert?” Seth giggled.
“You kids want to die? Laugh till you die!” Bert the Clown growled walking back into his van and drove away. We stared in horror.
“See? That’s what happened,” I explained.
Natalie, Seth, and Zack were still staring in horror.
“Well, let’s, let’s just go inside,” Seth stuttered.
“Okay,” Natalie agreed.
We then walked inside nervously and sat down and turned on the TV.
“So what is this clown, a killer?” Zack then began.
“I don’t know, but this clown really freaks me out,” Natalie gulped.
The doorbell then rang. We then looked at each other. Seth and I then snuck over to the window and looked out the window and saw Bert the clown’s van! We gulped. All of the sudden Bert the clown then jumped up from the ground smiling!
Seth and I screamed and fell back. Zack and Natalie curled up in a ball on the couch in horror.
“Don’t you kids want balloons?” Bert the clown asked.
“Get away from us!” I yelled.
Zack’s parents then came through the door.
“Mom, dad! A clown is stalking us!” Zack cried.
I looked back out the window and saw Bert the clown gone!
“What?” Zack’s mom asked.
“Uh, never mind,” Zack then said. Zack’s mom then walked up the stairs.
Seth picked up the computer and typed in Bert the clown on Google.com.
“What did you find?” Natalie asked as I sat down.
“Oh my god, Bert the clown actually came up and it says that he was born in Maryland in 1959, he graduated from Virginia University in 1982 and moved to Pittsburgh and was a school teacher for 5th grade and his second job was a clown at a carnival. He soon started to like stalking kids for amusing himself. After his job at school he would follow an 11 year old girl named Jenna Brevig. He started to like her and watched her at every minute, even when she was sleeping!
One night, Bert snuck through the window of Jenna’s house and murdered her parents and took Jenna from her bed and kept her for a week tormenting and torturing her. He later killed her and was arrested for life. One night, when a guard came to give him his dinner in his cell, Bert grabbed his neck and strangled him to death and grabbed his key and escaped from his cell and freed the other prisoners to use them as help to escape from the prison. Only Bert escaped with his life by running to the train tracks and boarding a train to Virginia in 1990.
During the past years in Virginia, over 9 kids disappeared and was later found dead in Virginia and had his calling card, a balloon, on the kid’s body,” Seth read.
We all looked at each other nervously. We then looked out the window and saw Bert the clown across the street staring at us with a scary grin on his face.
I then growled and grabbed a baseball bat and ran outside staring at Bert.
“You get away or I’ll bash your head in!” I roared as Seth, Zack, and Natalie ran out the door.
Bert then showed balloons. “You kids want balloons?” he asked with a scary grin on his face.
“Come on, Ian, let’s go inside,” Zack said grabbing onto me.
I then stepped back into the house with Seth, Natalie, and Zack and closed the door.
“Okay, let’s sleep over here and plan against the clown,” Natalie brought up.
“Okay,” Seth agreed.
We called are parents to ask for a sleep over because we were too afraid to go back to our houses.
Later at 8:00 at night we went downstairs and played video games while talking about a plan to stop Bert the clown.
“We should just keep the baseball bat because our parents won’t help because they won’t believe us,” Seth mentioned.
“Yeah, but who knows how he’ll strike,” Natalie said.
All of the sudden the TV turned to this freaky room with blood on the white walls.
“What is this?” Zack asked.
Bert the clown then came into view with an evil grin on his face holding balloons.
“You kids want to die laughing?” he asked. We stared in horror. The TV then turned back to the video game.
“Oh my god! He’s everywhere!” Zack gulped.
“Wait, Zack, didn’t your dad have a gun under his bed?” I asked.
“Yeah, problem is, none of us know how to use a gun,” Zack sighed.
“Wait Seth, didn’t you use to go to gun ranges?” Natalie asked Seth.
“Wait, yeah, Zack, where’s the gun?” Seth asked.
“Under my parent’s bed, they’re not here, at a movie, you and Ian should go get it,” Zack said.
“Okay, Ian, let’s go,” Seth said starting to walk up the stairs. I followed.
We went upstairs and got this black box.
“Okay, this must be it,” I thought while Seth opened it up.
We saw a clown doll in it with red eyes laughing. It had a note on it that said, you kids want to die laughing?
Seth and I gasped. We then heard Natalie and Zack screaming from the basement.
“Oh no,” I gulped running down to the basement with Seth.
We saw Zack on the couch in horror shaking. Seth and I walked up to him.
“What happened?” Seth and I asked.
“Bert the clown was hiding under the couch, he jumped from under it and grabbed Natalie and ran into that dark room over there,” Zack told pointing to a dark room.
“Of course he had to go in THERE,” Seth sighed.
“Come on,” I then motivated walking over to the dark room while Seth and Zack followed.
We walked in and felt very cold. We shivered.
“What’s so cold?” Zack shivered.
We then heard a horn go off. We gulped. We then heard 3 balloons pop.
“Hey! Why don’t you fight us, you coward!” I hollered.
All of the sudden someone knocked me over and I heard Seth and Zack screaming and groaning.
I then tried to feel the feet and felt a huge foot. I then tripped the clown without seeing him and he fell back and fell on me! I groaned.
I then wiggled out of him and ran out of the dark room with Zack. Seth started to run out gasping.
“Come on, Seth!” Zack called.
All of the sudden a hand from the darkness grabbed Seth’s leg and pulled him into the darkness while he was screaming.
“Run Ian!” Zack screamed.
We both ran up the stairs while we heard footsteps running after us!
We then ran outside into the night and ran into the woods and kept running until we didn’t know where we were.
We both looked back panting. “I-I think we lost him,” I wheezed.
“Yeah, we got to go back and save Seth and Natalie,” Zack brought up.
“Yeah, but the only problem is that we’re lost!” I gulped looking around.
All of the sudden we heard footsteps coming near us! I saw a sewer.
“In the sewer,” I whispered.
We both ran into the sewer and heard a horn.
“Oh where, oh where could they be,” Bert the clown said above us walking around.
“Let’s go deeper into the sewer,” Zack whispered.
All of the sudden Bert the clown looked down at us in the sewer upside down!
“Well hello there, ever wondered what you heart looks like?” he laughed.
Zack and I then ran as deep as we could into the dark sewer until we didn’t see him.
“God, that was to close, we need to get out of here,” I brought up seeing a hatch at the top of us that we could get out of.
“Hey Zack, let me hold you can open the hatch,” I said picking him up. He opened the hatch and climbed out and looked down at me.
“We need to stop by a store so we can call the police,” Zack suggested putting a hand out. I grabbed onto it and he pulled me up.
I got up and we looked back and saw this ENORMOUS prison! We both stood up.
“Whoa, okay, let’s get the cops from in there,” I said.
“Okay,” Zack agreed.
We both walked in it and saw that it was abandoned. It was SO creepy looking. Rats running all over the ground and spider webs everywhere.
“Whoa, maybe there are still some cops in it inspecting it,” I suggested lighting a match so we could see.
We started to walk through it and saw all of the empty cells and saw a bunch of bones in it and rats nibbling on the bones.
“Whoa man, no one has set foot in this place for years!” Zack said looking around.
All of the sudden I heard sobbing. It was very scary sobbing. I looked around with the match in my hand.
I then saw this very freaky person who was naked, bald, scars all over his face, and had no teeth except for wooden teeth and saw that he was missing a hand!
“Oh my god,” Zack and I gulped.
He then went forward and tried to grab us through the bars with blood all over his face! Zack and I screamed and stepped back.
He then screamed angrily and picked up a rat and ate it alive! I felt like throwing up.
He then looked at us and smirked and sat back down on the cold floor. Zack and I got closer to the bars.
“Who are you?” Zack asked.
“I-I was a rich man with a with a wife and a family back in the 90’s, until one night I was walking to my car from my office and was beaten up and was taken by this clown named Bert, he brought me here and starved me and I had to survive by eating rats, he tortured me, he lives here and I saw him bring kids here too, he tortured them and they all died of starvation, my name is Andrew Sanborn,” Andrew told in tears.
“Well, we got to get you out of here,” I then said trying to open the cell.
All of the sudden Bert the clown walked in with a sack with Seth and Natalie inside it crying. He threw them in a jail cell and looked over at us.
“You two!” he roared getting out an ax.
Zack and I screamed and ran up the stairs. We then heard Bert scream in anger and he started running after us.
Zack and I kept running up the stairs and ran into a room and shut and locked the door.
“We got to get out of here,” Zack screamed starting to open the window.
An ax then went through the door smashing down the door. I gasped and fell back.
“You kids want to die?” Bert the clown asked through the hole in the door from the ax.
“You shut up!” I roared kicking his face. He then roared in anger falling back.
Zack then opened the window. “Got it!” Zack cheered. Zack and I got out the window and almost fell off the ledge. We stood on the skinny ledge nervously. Just a half an inch away from falling!
“Walk over to the roof!” I screamed.
All of the sudden we heard giggling behind us and we were pushed off the ledge by Bert the Clown in the window! We started to fall screaming. We then grabbed onto another skinny ledge below. We let out a sigh of relief.
“Climb up!” I screamed.
We started climbing to the roof but all of the sudden a knife flew towards us! It barely missed us!
“Oh my god!” Zack gasped looking up.
We saw Bert the Clown throwing knives down at us! I looked over and saw a ledge on a sniper tower across from us.
“Jump!” I screamed jumping to the ledge on the sniper tower. I then grabbed onto the ledge with one hand! I then put my other hand up and pulled myself up.
All of the sudden a knife flew into my hand from Bert the Clown! I screamed in pain. Zack then jumped to the top of the sniper tower and grabbed onto my good hand and pulled me up. I then sat back groaning because a knife was in my hand.
“Come on Ian, we got to go!” Zack screamed.
All of the sudden, Bert the Clown jumped over to us and pushed me over and got out a knife looking above me.
“Better hope they have balloons in hell, kid,” Bert the Clown growled raising the knife about to stab me. He started to push the knife towards my heart until Zack grabbed onto Bert screaming and he started to push him towards the edge and pushed him straight off the edge. Bert fell to the ground screaming and landed on the ground hard, dead.
Zack then let out a sigh of relief and limped over to me groaning.
“Ian,” he groaned falling down in front of me.
I then started to pull the knife out of my hand in pain and finally got it out. I then screamed in pain.
“C-come on, let’s call the cops and get Seth, Natalie, and Andrew out of here,” Zack suggested getting up.
We then went down to the cells and got Andrew out of his cell and then got Seth and Natalie out.
“Yes! I’m out of here!” Andrew cheered.
“Oh man, I thought I was going to die, what happened to Bert anyways?” Seth asked.
“He fell off the roof,” Zack giggled.
Natalie then walked up to Zack and I smiling. She then kissed us both on the lips!
Zack and I then got lovestruck faces. "Thank you, for saving my life," she thanked walking away.
Later, the police searched the prison grounds for Bert's body. Zack and I were both talking.
"Dude, nice job with Bert!" I laughed.
"Yep, everyone should watch out for the Zack attack!" Zack laughed.
A cop then ran over to us nervously, "Guys, he's gone!" the cop screamed.
Zack and I gulped. Andrew then fell off the roof of the prison and landed on the ground hard, in which he died.
Zack, Natalie, Seth, the cops, and I all screamed. We then could all hear Bert's echoing laughter in the distance.

The Magnolia Robbers 3

Jake couldn’t take much more of the torture. He was being tortured by Mickey, Roger, and Chuck.
“Go ahead and kill me, you piece of crap!” Jake yelled tied to the chair.
Mickey then picked him up and threw him against the wall. Jake groaned.
“That all you got?” Jake growled coughing up blood.
Mickey picked him up and punched him growling.
“Don’t kill him, it’s want he wants!” Roger yelled.
“You don’t have the freaking guts!” Jake growled being held up. Mickey kicked him in the groin and was thrown down.
“Where’s Amanda?” Mickey growled.
“You aren’t going near her!” Jake growled.
Mickey punched him in the back of the head.
“You’re asking for it, piece of crap!” Mickey yelled.
“Take it easy!” Chuck yelled.

Meanwhile, Amanda, Liam, and Jessica drove to a police kiosk and ran in and saw two cops.
“Mickey and Roger have taken over the police station down the street with the prisoners and are killing a cop!” Amanda screamed.
“Take it easy, I’m Chief Moore, and this is Deputy Bowman, now tell us what happened from the beginning,” Chief Moore said.
“Well, a bank was robbed about 2 months ago and their calling card was a Magnolia and they were known as the Magnolia Robbers, it turned out that two of our friends, Mickey and Roger, were the robbers and Chief Jackson was their accomplice, they then escaped from jail and attacked the police station we were at and killed a bunch of cops there and 2 of are friends, Chief Jackson was killed, so me, Liam, Jessica and a cop named Jake made it out but Jake was taken hostage and we’re now here,” Amanda told.
“It’s true,” Liam added.
Chief Moore and Deputy Bowman got up smiling.
“We broke them out of jail, and when they robbed the bank, Chief Jackson, Deputy Bowman, and I told the cops nothing was wrong so they could escape, we then split the money and we helped out Mickey, Roger, and Chief Jackson break into the jail,” Chief Moore told smiling taking out a pistol and pointing it at them.
“Oh my god!” Liam gasped.
“And when you guys were having the meeting of finding out who did the crime, we were let in and helped Chief Jackson capturing you guys, we escaped but Chief Jackson was arrested, and we couldn’t of all got in there without setting off the alarm if it wasn’t for some help by a certain someone,” Deputy Bowman added.
“Who?” Amanda asked.
A gun was then put to the back of her head.
“This someone,” Jessica growled.
“Oh my god,” Liam gasped.
“You were helping out Mickey, Roger, Chief Jackson, Chief Moore, and Deputy Bowman?” Amanda gasped.
“Too bad for you, isn’t it Amanda?” Jessica laughed.
“Why?” Liam asked.
“Because, Roger and I were secretly in love, I noticed no one seemed to care much for me anymore because of you, Amanda, you were miss little popular, beautiful, cheer captain, what else do I need to say? When Roger and Mickey were planning to rob a bank I HAD to help out,” Jessica told.
“You sick little idiot!” Liam growled.
“Shut up Liam!” Jessica shouted.
“This is it, let’s take them out right now,” Chief Moore said cocking his gun.
Liam then quickly grabbed onto Jessica and stole her gun and used her as a human shield as he shot Moore and Bowman in the legs.
He dropped Jessica and ran outside with Amanda to the car.
“Let’s get out of here!” Amanda screamed.
The car then was shot at by Jessica. Liam and Amanda ducked gasping and started the car. Jessica jumped in front of the car pointing her gun.
“See ya later!” Jessica growled.
Liam then drove straight towards Jessica and was shot in the shoulder but Liam still ran into Jessica.
Jessica was still alive though and got up growling. She ran into a car and drove after Liam and Amanda.
Liam was screaming in pain.
“You okay Liam?” Amanda asked taking the wheel for Liam.
“I-I’m bleeding, I need a doctor,” Liam groaned.
Bullets then hit the car and they both looked back and saw Jessica driving after them.
Amanda then went into the driver’s seat and Liam went into the passenger seat groaning.
“Step on it, loose Jessica! Go, Go!” Liam screamed.
“I don’t have a driver’s license yet, I’m only 15!” she screamed.
“Just do your best,” Liam said.
Amanda then saw a huge truck coming and quickly turned and kept driving kind of badly. Amanda then saw a truck coming right in front of them! Amanda screamed.
“Turn!” Liam screamed.
Amanda turned and the side of the car scratched against the car. A bullet then went through the back window and hit Liam in the ear!
“Oh god! I’m messed up!” Liam screamed in pain with his ear bloody.
The chase was only beginning.


Meanwhile, back at the police station, Jake was half dead. Mickey, Roger, and Chuck were torturing him so much. Jake was tied up still.
“Had enough?” Roger growled looking down at him.
“When’s Jessica going to call? She was supposed to kill Amanda and Liam over 30 minutes ago! You girlfriend better come through!” Mickey growled.
“She will, don’t worry,” Roger responded.
“I just want to end this,” Jake groaned.
Chuck’s cellphone then rang. Chuck picked it up. “Hello?” he greeted.
He then put his ear from the phone and gave it to Roger.
“It’s for you,” Chuck told.
Roger picked it up. It was Chief Moore. He told that Liam shot him and Deputy Bowman in the legs and they drove off and Jessica drove after them. Roger then hung up the phone and looked down at Jake taking a gun out.
“You’re no use to us anymore,” Roger said shooting Jake in the head. Jake then died.
“Finally, the idiot goes down, what’s the news?” Mickey asked.
“Jessica is chasing after Amanda and Liam, come on, let’s go to the car, we’re going on a chase,” Roger announced.

Meanwhile, Amanda was still driving crazy while Liam was pale and bleeding to death whimpering lying down in his chair.
“We’re going to get a doctor, Liam, after this stupid idiot goes away!” Amanda said. Liam was in too much pain to answer.
Amanda then went on an icy road and started to slide off the road! She screamed.
She then turned the other way and started to go through a construction place! She screamed and started to beep the horn and came close to running over people. Jessica, who was behind them kept on running over people on purpose. Amanda then drove out of the construction place and back on the road and started to drive as fast as she could. Jessica was still driving after them.

Mickey, Roger, and Chuck drove to police kiosk that Chief Moore and Deputy Bowman were at.
They walked out of the car and walked in and saw Chief Moore and Deputy Bowman on the ground groaning.
“Where’d they go?” Mickey asked bending over at Chief Moore.
“They, they went right and drove off from there, don’t know where they went from there,” Chief Moore groaned on the ground with his leg bleeding.
“You’re no use to us anymore,” Roger growled taking out his golden Desert Eagle.
“Don’t kill us!” Deputy Bowman screamed on the ground.
“Chuck,” Mickey called.
Chuck walked in with a huge machine gun and shot them both to death.
Roger then called Jessica on his cell phone to see where they were.
“Jessica, where are you guys?” Roger asked.
“These little idiots are still ahead of me, I’m around Nosliw neighborhood, you coming to get these weirdo’s?” Jessica asked still driving after them.
“Yeah, we’ll be there honey, bye,” Roger replied putting his cell phone back in his pocket.
“We’re driving down to Nosliw neighborhood and going to catch up with Amanda, let’s go,” Roger told going to the car with Mickey and Chuck.

Meanwhile, Amanda was still driving as fast as she could looking for a hospital while Jessica was chasing them.
Liam was so pale with blood all over the passenger seat and was about to die any minute.
“Hang in there Liam!” Amanda called to him in tears.
Jessica then drove really fast and came to the back of the car and rammed it.
Amanda’s body shook forward. She looked back with an angry face.
“I hate you!” she shouted to Jessica.
The car then started to twirl around because of the icy roads and they went down a hill into the woods and crashed into a barn house deep in the woods.
Amanda then got out with a broke arm and started to knock on the door.
“Hello? Help us please, we got a bleeding 16 year old here, help us please!” Amanda cried.
Jessica’s car then came down and she got out pointing a gun at Amanda.
“Think you’re funny don’t you?” Jessica giggled.
“Shut up Jessica! There’s a reason why I was popular instead of you!” Amanda growled.
Jessica cocked the gun. “And what is that?”
Amanda gulped. “I was kind and smart, unlike you,”
“Bad choice,” Jessica growled about to pull the trigger.
All of the sudden she was stabbed in the back by limping Liam who was so pale! Jessica then screamed in pain and fell dead.
Liam then fell to the ground groaning. Amanda ran over to Liam in tears.
“Y-y-y-you go a-ahead and k-kill Mickey and R-R-Roger, you go o-on, you’re beautiful, y-you survive,” Liam stuttered.
Amanda started to sob and she kissed Liam as he died. She then stopped and Liam died.
Amanda then got up and wiped the tears away and grabbed Jessica’s gun and walked up to the street and looked around and saw Mickey, Roger, and Chuck driving towards her.
“There she is!” Mickey then announced getting a gun out.
Amanda then shot the tires and the car then drove right off the road.
Mickey, Roger, and Chuck got out of the car groaning.
“Well, we finally have got you, Amanda, and now you shall pay, pay for being little miss popular and treating you REAL friends like slugs,” Roger growled.
“You stupid girlfriend is dead, she got what she deserved for killing Liam!” Amanda growled.
“Impressive, but now YOU will die,” Roger growled also getting out a gun.
Amanda pulled the trigger but no bullet came out! Chuck pointed the machine gun at her and she ran off into the woods before he could shoot her.
“After her!” Roger yelled.
The 3 men chased after her into the woods. Amanda was running to the farmhouse and hid inside it. It was really dark.
Amanda started to breath nervously because it was dark. Rats then fell from the wall into her hair! She was about to scream but covered her mouth afraid that Mickey, Roger, and Chuck would find her. She rubbed the rats out of her hair.
Meanwhile, outside, Mickey, Roger, and Chuck saw Liam and Jessica dead.
“Oh look, Liam was shot,” Mickey laughed.
“Amanda will pay, wait, the barn house! Search it Chuck!” Roger commanded.
Inside Amanda gulped. When Chuck walked in and looked around, Amanda quickly grabbed him and grabbed his gun and knocked him out.
“Oh Amanda, great that you’re in there,” Mickey laughed.
“It’s over for you,” Amanda growled pointing the gun at them.
Roger then threw a Molotov Cocktail towards the door and the barn house started to burn down! Amanda screamed and started to go towards the window but started to cough from the smoke and fell down to the ground about to go to sleep, Chuck then woke up and saw Amanda and thought what Mickey and Roger were doing was wrong. He then grabbed sleeping Amanda and jumped out the window.
Amanda then coughed and woke up.
“Amanda, you okay, I’m sorry what I’ve been doing,” Chuck apologized.
“I still don’t forgive you, after all you’ve done,” Amanda then growled.
“I understand” Chuck said helping Amanda up.
“Well, well, well, what a pretty sight,” Roger then laughed across from them.
“Why do you do this?” Chuck growled.
“Shut up Chuck!” Mickey yelled shooting Chuck in the head. Chuck fell dead.
“Now, the very final one,” Mickey laughed pointing his gun at Amanda.
Amanda then pulled Chuck’s gun from her pocket and shot Mickey, killing him and pointed the gun at Roger. Roger laughed.
“Very good, I was hoping though that a beautiful girl like you and a quite good looking football player like me have a little Bonnie and Clyde thing going on, what do you say?” Roger asked smiling.
“Go to hell,” Amanda growled firing the bullet that shot Roger in the head. He fell to the ground dead.
Amanda then fell to the ground crying about everything that had happened.
She had no more innocent friends like Liam, Daniel, or Aaron. She felt like she would never stop crying. All of the sudden. Liam started to cough up blood and got up still bleeding but alive.
Amanda then saw him and smiled in tears. “Liam!” she cheered running over to him kissing him.
“I-I’m okay,” Liam said getting up.
“We got to get you to a doctor,” Amanda said.
“Yeah, you did a nice job,” Liam laughed looking at Mickey, Chuck, and Roger’s dead bodies.
Amanda could only laugh. Liam was then brought to a doctor and Amanda got a cast on for her broken arm.
Liam and Amanda then became boyfriend and girlfriend and made a lot of new friends.
“What a night,” Liam said after he was better.

Bummer, Lummer, Summer

My family and I were going to the most crappy place anyone can go, Twibight Town. We were driving. I kept kicking my mom's chair.
"Quit pouting Ian!" my mom yelled. I groaned.
"We should of saved are money to go to Hawaii," I pouted.
All of the sudden I was on a plane! A sound came on the speaker. "This is your Captain speaking, we are going to land at Hawaii shortly," the voice announced.
"Huh?" I asked.
I looked out the window and saw Hawaii!
"What the?" I gasped.
My mom and the rest of my family were sitting next to me.
"Ian, get ready, we are about to land," my mom said.
"Awesome!" I cheered looking at the waves below are plane. "I wish I could ride the waves now," I said.
All of the sudden I appeared on a surf board on the waves!
"Whoa!" I gasped.
It was such a surprise that I fell off my surfboard. I then got stuck in a riptide!
"I hope a boat saves me!" I cried drowning.
A net then got me and I got picked up into a fisherman's boat.
"Thank god!" I cheered.
"Why we have always needed a slave for the boat," said one of the fisherman.
"Wait, I can control stuff!" I gasped.
The fisherman got out a harpoon gun but then I said "I wish all you fisherman were pancakes!" I yelled.
They turned into pancakes, I laughed. Then a shark crashed into the boat. I then flew off the boat into the water. I was underwater and saw sharks swimming towards me! I gulped and went up for a breath.
"I wish I was the fastest swimmer in the world!" I wished.
I started to swim at 200 miles per hour! "This is so cool!" I cheered.
I lost the sharks in only 3 seconds! I then saw an island in the distance. I got on the land.
"This is awesome!" I cheered.
I then saw a crashed plane and hungry people ran out of it. "Food!" they cheered running towards me!
"I wish I was back on the plane!" I screamed.
I then appeared on the wing of the plane and the powerful wind blew me off the wing! I screamed falling.
"I wish I had a parachute!" I screamed. But no parachute appeared! I then looked down at the ground and screamed about to hit the ground!
I then woke up in the car heading to Twibight Town in horror sweating.
"Wait, what?" I asked.
"We're here at Twibight Town," my mom then said parking.
I ran out of the car and kissed the ground.

Welcome to the Haunted House

When I went over to my friend Jaden’s house is when the horror began.
My name is Ian and people say there is a haunted house in my neighborhood but no one has really proved it, until the day me and my friends went inside.
“What do you want to do now?” Jaden asked me.
“Let’s go outside,” I answered.
“Okay,” Jaden agreed.
We ran outside. Jaden got a football out.
“Go long,” he called to me.
I ran out and he passed the ball. It went a little too far so I couldn’t get it. It bounced by friend, Nick Rogers’ feet.
“Missing something?” he asked picking up the ball.
“Yep,” I answered.
“Over here Nick!” Jaden shouted from behind us.
Nick threw it high for Jaden to catch it so it bounced off his hands across the street.
“Where’d it go?” I asked running over to Jaden with Nick.
Jaden turned pale and pointed over to a house. We looked over and saw it crashed through the window of the so called haunted house.
“Should we just leave it?” I asked.
“But that was signed by Clinton Portis,” Jaden whined running up to the house.
“Guys, it’s not haunted,” Nick told.
“Oh yeah, well if you’re so dang sure, then why don’t you go inside?” I growled.
“Fine, I’ll show you guys it’s not haunted!” Nick said walking on the porch.
The house was wooden, looked very old. The windows were cracked.
Once Nick put his hand on the knob I could see him shaking.
“Come on,” I urged.
He then slowly opened the door. All of a sudden the door magically shut behind him!
“Oh my god!” Jaden and I screamed.
“Help me!” Nick screamed from inside.
Jaden and I ran to the porch. Jaden and I banged on the door while Nick was screaming.
“You okay?” I nervously asked to Nick.
“Something has got me!” he screamed.
“Stand back,” Jaden commanded as he stepped back. I got out of the way.
He then ran full speed towards the door. He then broke the door down.
We both ran in and saw Nick and a bunch of furniture floating in air! Jaden screamed out loud.
“We’ll help you!” I screamed.
I got a broom but all of the sudden I floated straight up to the ceiling. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Jaden just stared in horror.
I then started to fall! I screamed and hit the ground hard. I didn’t break anything though.
Nick and all of the furniture fell.
“L-let’s get out of here,” Nick stuttered.
All of a sudden a deep voice came out of nowhere. “Stay away,” the voice said.
Nick, Jaden, and I shivered. The doors upstairs started opening and closing!
We all screamed. Jaden grabbed the football and we all ran out. The broken down door floated up and was put back into place.
We kept running until two girls from are school named Natalie and Alaina jumped out from the bushes tackling us. We all screamed.
Natalie and Alaina started laughing.
They were both trouble makers. They think they’re sisters and both have tan skin with blue eyes. Alaina had kind of a wide and big face. Natalie was a little skinnier and was tough. I think she is pretty but I don’t tell anyone that.
“Why are you guys screaming like little girls?” Alaina laughed.
“Um, no reason,” Jaden lied.
“Were you scared of a little kitty?” Natalie laughed.
“We were scared of the ghosts in the haunted house,” Nick admitted.
“You believe in that crap?” asked Alaina.
“It’s true,” I responded.
“Alaina and I will go into the house and prove it’s not haunted,” Natalie said.
“Okay, have fun,” I responded.
We followed Natalie and Alaina to the house.
“Okay, go in,” Nick urged.
Natalie and Alaina walked on the porch. They started to shake.
“Come one,” Jaden commanded.
Natalie and Alaina opened the door and it closed behind them.
“What will we do when the ghosts kick in?” I asked.
“Save them obviously,” Nick answered.
All of the sudden we heard them scream.
“There it is,” Jaden said.
We broke the door down and saw Natalie floating up and down and saw Alaina floating in air getting thrown against walls!
“We’ll help you!” I yelled.
We all went in but all of the sudden I was magically picked up and was thrown against the wall!
I hit it hard and I was knocked out for 30 seconds and then woke up.
I looked over and saw Jaden and Nick trying to help Natalie and Alaina.
Then I felt like I was getting punched.
“Oh!” I screamed.
It must have been ghosts punching me.
That same voice that Nick, Jaden, and I heard talked again. “Stay away or your insides will burn and your skin will be eaten off of you,”
We all screamed.
Natalie and Alaina fell to the ground.
“Ian, let’s get out of here!” Natalie screamed.
I then floated back up in air and was thrown outside!
I landed on the ground and I had cuts and bruises on my legs and arms and my nose was bleeding.
Nick, Jaden, Natalie, and Alaina ran out of the house and the door magically closed behind them. They ran over to me.
“Ian, you alright?” asked Alaina?
“No,” I groaned.
“Let’s go to my house and get Ian bandages,” Jaden said.
“Okay,” they all agreed.
“Should we tell are parent s about this?” Nick asked.
“They won’t believe us,” Natalie mentioned.
We went over to Jaden’s house and got me bandages.
“Thanks,” I thanked on Jaden’s bed.
Nick looked out the window looking at the haunted house. “Since our parents won’t believe us, we’re going to have to stop it,” Nick told.
“But how,” asked Alaina.
“They don’t like light, so we could bring flashlights,” I added.
“Yeah,” Natalie agreed.
“How about we stop it by sleeping over at the place,” Jaden brought up.
“What should we tell our parents?” Alaina asked.
“It’s obvious, Alaina, you tell your parents you’re sleeping over at Natalie’s, Natalie will tell her parents she’ll sleep over at Alaina’s, Nick will tell his parents he is sleeping over at my house, Ian will tell his parents he is sleeping over at Nick’s, and I’ll tell my parents I’m sleeping over at Ian’s,” Jaden told.
“Nice plan,” I commented.
“Let’s do that,” added Natalie.
Alaina and Nick agreed.
Later that night we all came over to Jaden’s house and met outside the house.
“Did you all bring flashlights?” Jaden asked.
“Yep,” we all answered.
“Okay, h-here it goes,” Jaden stuttered.
Nick, Natalie, Alaina, Jaden, and I walked onto the porch.
I grabbed the knob shaking and opened the door. We all walked in. The door then closed behind us! We all gulped.
“Okay, well let’s lye are sleeping bags out,” Natalie brought up.
“Okay,” we all agreed.
We layed are sleeping bags out.
“Nothing bad has happened,” Nick said.
All of a sudden are sleeping bags floated in air! We all screamed. We then floated in air!
“Yikes!” Natalie screamed.
I turned my flashlight on and saw these poltergeists holding us up! They were chalk faced and had blood all over their faces!
We all screamed. The ghosts covered their eyes because of the light and let go of us.
Everyone fell on the ground but I fell through the floor! I screamed and hit the ground hard. I could smell dust everywhere.
“Ian, you okay?” Nick called.
“I-I guess,” I answered.
I then them scream upstairs.
I turned my flashlight on and saw skeletons everywhere! I screamed.
All of the skeletons then stood up! I screamed again.
The skeletons ran at me! I shined the light at the skeletons but it had no effect!
I then bashed one with my flashlight. The skeleton broke apart in front of me.
One skeleton took a bone from his body and threw it at my head. I fell down and they all walked in front of me about to eat me.
I saw a big chandelier above the skeletons.
Before the skeletons could eat me I threw my flashlight at the chandelier and it fell on the skeletons crushing them.
I got up and grabbed my flashlight and ran to the stairs but before I got to the stairs I saw a big hole.
“What the?” I asked.
All of the sudden a giant rat about the size of a Golden Retriever came out of the hole!
I screamed. I then tried to turn the flashlight on but it ran out of batteries! I gulped.
The rat then ran at me! I dropped the flashlight and started to run up the stairs. The rat chase after me!
I ran to the top of the stairs, opened the door and shut the door behind me.
I looked over and saw Jaden, Natalie, Alaina, and Nick floating in air!
“Help us!” screamed Jaden.
I got a broom but then that voice happened again! “Die, die, stay away, your insides will burn, and you shall have your flesh eaten,”
“Shut up!” I shouted throwing the broom at a lit candle. The broom knocked the candle over and the floor caught on fire!
Natalie, Jaden, Nick, and Alaina fell to the ground.
“Let’s get out of here!” Alaina screamed.
We all ran out of the burning house.
We turned around.
“Wow,” Natalie said.
Soon the firemen came and put out the fire.
“You guys alright?” one of the firemen asked us.
“Yeah,” we all answered.
“Who lived in that house before?” Nick asked.
“A couple, the Clarks if I remember correctly, well these killers murdered them both one night, so that’s why there are rumors that it is haunted, but the last people that went the house were poor sick people but they were saved and were made healthy by what they called “Voices” but no one believed them,” the firemen told.
“Wow,” Alaina responded.
Later the next day I was searching for my notebook in my mom’s room but I then saw a diary page and read it. I then gasped.
It said Donna Yoder, who was Natalie’s mom, Jaden’s mom, Nick’s dad, Alaina’s dad, and my mom were mad at the Clarke’s (Which were the old owners of the Haunted House) well it said that they were mad at the couple because of stuff they did to them from the past so they murdered them.
I gasped. That’s why they tried to kill us, to get revenge on our parents! Because they weren’t bad ghosts, they didn’t want to kill anyone else except for Nick, Alaina, Jaden, and Natalie! They only wanted revenge!

Mystery of the Lost Friend

Once, I went to a sleepover at my friend’s house. His name was Brian and his younger 9 year old brother was named Jason.
Other friends were William, his brother Daniel, and Treavaun but we all call him Trey.
Brian’s parents were going to be gone all night.
I soon walked over with William and Daniel at 8:00 AM with sleeping bags.
We came in and saw Brian, Trey, and Jason playing Xbox 360 online.
William, Daniel, and I walked in.
“Hey guys,” Trey greeted.
“What’s up,” I responded going over to them.
“We’re playing Modern Warfare,” Brian told.
“That game is beast,” William said. The doorbell then rang. Daniel got up.
“I’ll get it,” Daniel called running to the door.
We then watched them play so we didn’t watch Daniel. We then felt the door was open.
We looked over and saw the wind blowing the door. No Daniel! We gasped.
“Where’s Daniel?” Jason screamed.
Trey, William, and I grabbed flashlights and ran outside in horror. We looked around and saw no Daniel, but tire tracks in the lawn!
“Oh my god!” Trey screamed.
Brian and Jason ran outside with flashlights.
I saw a note on the front porch. “A note,” I announced picking it up.
Everyone crowded around me. I started to read it.
“If you want to see your friend again, go to where you guys play war,” I read.
“The garage! We play Nerf War there!” Jason responded.
We all ran over to the closed garage. William and I started to open the garage. When we did a big hairy rat jumped on my face!
“Get it off!” I screamed.
William got a mop and hit it off me. It flew to the yard. A note fell from it.
“Another note!” Brian said picking it up.
“Read it!” Trey urged.
“Go to where Colonel James was created,” Brian read.
“Colonel James?” William asked.
“Wait, when we play toy soldiers downstairs we made up Colonel James, the basement!” I explained.
“Right,” Jason agreed.
We then looked around and saw that Trey was gone!
"Oh no, Trey's gone!" I screamed.
The four of us gulped.
The 4 of us went inside and towards the basement door. William opened it up and we saw only darkness in the basement. I flipped the light switch but no lights to the basement came on.
“Wait,” Brian said walking to a closet. He opened it up and pulled out 4 night vision goggles.
“Here, we can see downstairs,” Brian told giving all of us night vision goggles.
“Radical!” William cheered putting them on.
“Okay, let’s go,” I began starting to walk downstairs. Jason, William, and Brian followed.
When we got down we saw everything wrecked! Creepy dolls were hanging up on the wall, and notes were all over the ceiling and wall saying You’re Next!
“Oh my god!” Jason gasped.
All of the sudden the door that lead upstairs magically closed! We gulped.
We then heard footsteps upstairs.
“Who is that?” William whispered to us nervously.
All of the sudden we heard everything being wrecked and thrown over!
“Wow, who is this person, or thing?” Brian gulped.
I looked at the You’re Next note and turned it over and said that Nosaj is next.
“It says Nosaj is next, who’s Nosaj?” I asked.
“Who knows,” Jason responded.
All of the sudden a note flew out of the air vent and hit me in the face.
“Ow,” I said.
Brian then picked up the note and read it. “Read backwards,” Brian read.
“What does that mean?” William asked.
“Wait a second!” I screamed running to the You’re Next note and flipped it over. I read Nosaj backwards and it said Jason!
“Jason!” I screamed.
We all turned around and saw Jason screaming being dragged off into the other room by a person we couldn’t see into the next room!
“Jason!” us three screamed.
We ran into the room and saw no one. It was only Brian, William, and I left!
“Oh god, no!” William sighed.
All of the sudden are night vision goggles ran out of batteries and all we could see was darkness! All of the sudden we heard someone walking downstairs! We stood still in horror.
“Don’t-move-a muscle,” William whispered in horror.
We then heard footsteps walking into the room that we were in. I shook so hard in fear. The footsteps then stopped in front of me! I nearly peed in my pants!
All of the sudden that person shoved a note into my mouth and right after that the lights came back on. Brian and William let out a sigh of relief.
I started to cough the note up and coughed it out of my mouth groaning.
“Whoa, that was so scary!” Brian gulped.
“Look! Ian coughed up another note!” William exclaimed picking it up. He read it.
“If you want to find your friends, go to where you guys went to a funeral,” William read.
“What? A funeral? I’ve gone to funerals only to where my Great Grandmother lived which is in North Carolina,” I announced confused.
“Yeah, what’s going on?” Brian asked.
William didn’t respond, he was just crouched thinking. “Was there any funerals near here at all?” William asked.
“Wait a minute! Remember how we were in the woods and we saw a dead mouse and we named it Mouse and we buried it and gave it a plank grave, then we had a funeral for him in which we invited all of our friends to it,” I told.
“Of course! But that means we have to go into the woods,” Brian sighed.
“So, let’s just go,” William said.
The 3 of us went back upstairs and saw that the lights were back on.
Brian then reached into the same closet again and took out three flashlights. He threw William one and me one.
“Let’s go,” Brian cheered.
The 3 of us ran outside and started to walk towards the woods. We turned are flashlights on.
“You do know one of us will be taken,” I announced.
“We all know,” William responded.
When we got towards the entrance to the woods, we started to cross a pool parking lot.
All of the sudden we saw some big beast like bigfoot walking across the street!
We all gasped and ducked in horror.
“What is that?” Brian whispered to us in horror.
“Who knows man,” William whispered back.
The beast then started to walk into the woods and vanished! We all got up in horror.
“Who knows what that was,” I said.
We started walking into the woods and saw the creature’s footprints.
“What is this creature?” I gasped.
The funny thing about the footprints is that it got bigger and bigger as we walked. Then the footprints disappeared!
We looked around on the ground.
“Where’d the footprints go?” I gasped.
“Who cares, let’s keep walking,” William responded.
We then got to Mouse’s grave and saw the mouse dug out of his grave!
We gasped and ran over to Mouse.
“Someone dug him out!” Brian screamed.
I saw writing on Mouse’s wooden grave. I read it.
“Beware of the beasts, go to the tree that people get hurt at,” I read.
“The thorn bush! Remember how Ian cut himself on it!” William cheered.
We ran to the thorn bush. We saw a note on top of it.
“I’ll get it,” Brian said starting to climb the tree.
William then got out binoculars out and looked through it and looked through it and looked over at the street. He then looked closely at the neighbor’s backyard.
“What do you see?” I asked.
William took the binoculars off his eyes staring towards the yard. I couldn’t see because I didn’t have binoculars.
William then looked through the binoculars again and gasped.
“What is it?” I asked.
“That’s impossible! The secret is- but William couldn’t finish, because he fell through a hole!
“William!” I screamed.
Brian then fell off the tree and towards the hole!
“Brian!” I screamed.
He then grabbed onto a branch but dropped the note into the hole!
“No!” I screamed.
I then picked up the binoculars and looked over to where William was looking.
“What was William looking at?” Brian asked.
“I don’t know,” I answered still looking.
I then saw a tire track in the yard.
“Follow me,” I said to Brian.
We both walked to the yard and when we were walking across the street we heard this odd, scary whistling.
“Who is that?” Brian gasped.
The two of us ran into the lawn and saw the tire tracks and a secret door hidden in the grass.
“Let’s check this door,” I said opening it up.
It was really dark! I dropped a penny to make sure it wasn’t deep. It hit the ground.
“Okay, let’s go,” I said putting my legs in it.
We then saw a big giant creature cross the street!
“Go!” Brian screamed.
I jumped in and Brian did too. We shut the door and turned are flashlights on. We started down this passageway.
“We’ll find out the secret,” Brian said.
Are flashlights ran out of batteries!
“Oh no, not again!” I screamed.
We heard someone walking towards us! I nearly wet my pants. The person then whistled that same scary tune.
“Run Brian!” I then screamed running to the door.
Brian followed me to the door. While I was opening it, someone knocked me over and I heard Brian scream.
“Brian!” I screamed.
Brian’s scream then faded away. I gulped and opened the door and went back outside.
“I’m the only one left!” I gulped.
It started to rain! I ran back to Brian’s and opened the door. The electricity was back on.
I then heard voices upstairs. “I hear a voice, no, voices! They’re coming from upstairs!” I said.
I walked upstairs and saw a record player in Jason’s room. It said something.
“Looks like you’re the winner, now follow the tire tracks,” the record commanded.
The voice sounded like an elderly person said it.
“Oh, the tire tracks!” I exclaimed.
I then walked downstairs and ran outside and saw the tire tracks. I started to follow the tire tracks into the woods and I looked down at the creek and saw a bunch of those beasts sitting around growling.
I dropped to the ground watching them. One then spotted me and roared! I gulped and started running.
The beasts then kept running after me.
I then went to Brian’s house and tried to open the door but couldn’t!
“No! Don’t kill me!” I screamed as they gathered around me.
All of the sudden, I heard laughing and the beasts disappeared! I made a confused face and saw William and Trey walk across the street with holograms laughing.
“What’s going on?” I asked confused.
The locked door then opened and I fell in and saw Daniel and Brian laughing.
“What is this?” I asked. William and Trey walked in.
“Us 4 decided to trick you and Brian by putting notes and clues around for you guys to figure out this mystery, we decided that Daniel should play his part first, he would walk outside and run off to the woods, the tire tracks came from a person we paid to drive through the yard and put a clue down on the porch, and when we went to the garage, we got the guy to put a clue in the garage but happened to also put a giant rat in there, but we didn’t mind, so I, William picked up the note and when I did, Trey would run to Brian’s backyard and through the woods and meet with Daniel, now with downstairs, we didn’t plan everything being destroyed, the guy did that, but we did plan the dolls.
Jason then was supposed to scream while he was being dragged off and made it look really real, it even scared us when we knew that he was faking it!
Now it was only me with Brian and Ian, the two suckers.
So when we put the night vision goggles on, before we went into the basement , I quickly took the fresh batteries out of Brian and Ian’s night vision goggles and put almost to be dead batteries into them so they would go out.
When they did go out, the guy we paid would walk down in night vision goggles and shove a note in Ian’s mouth, and run upstairs and turn the lights on.
We then would go to the woods.
That beast we saw was only a hologram made by Trey and Daniel. And the freaky noises were from the guy we hired. He did by putting a speaker in the woods.
Daniel and Trey then made the beast’s footprints and the guy dug out Mouse which we thought was too far but we thought, whatever.
When Ian, Brian, and I then went to the thorn bush tree, I pretended to see something with the binoculars and I planned to sneak away because of Jason distracting you from growling sounds but for some reason he didn’t and I fell through a hole the guy set up. The note that said “Go back to the house,” dropped in the hole.
The guy then whistled in the distance to scare you and when you walked in that hole, the guy grabbed Brian and when you went back to the house, we explained to Brian what we were doing.
The record player then told you to go to the woods and we ended up here,” William told.
“Wait, so the only people who weren’t doing this was me or Brian?” I asked.
“Yep,” Daniel answered.
“Wait, where’s Jason?” I asked.
“We actually don’t know,” Trey responded.
All of the sudden, the Emergency Broadcast System went off on the TV saying this is not a test.
“W-what’s going on?” Brian gulped. We sat down on the couch and watched.
A reporter came on.
“In Farifax Station, Virginia(my neighborhood) an escaped lunatic is on the loose and is known for “Playing games” with his victims by leaving around notes and clues around the house, he plays with exactly 6 people and always takes one person and torments that person for a month and then let’s that person go ONLY if it’s a kid, if not a kid, he kills his victim, he keeps his victim kid for a month and then releases him, and about a week later, he goes back to the same house and takes a kid and torments him for the rest of his life! So lock your doors and be safe,” the reporter told.
We started at each other in horror.
“I knew we shouldn’t of trusted that guy!” Daniel cried.
“Jason was captured, and a week after Jason is released from torture, he’ll take one of us forever!” William gasped.
“We’ll be ready,” Trey growled.
The door then slightly opened and we saw a note on the porch! William and I grabbed baseball bats and ran to the front porch and saw no one.
Brian, Trey, and Daniel ran over. Daniel picked up the note and read it.
“In one month, one of you shall be mine,
FOREVER!”
To Be Continued…

Frederick Douglass Report

Frederick Augustes Washington Bailey, who later became Frederick Douglass, was born a slave in his grandmother’s shack. He worked on a plantation with his mother and grandmother.
When he was still an infant, he was separated from his mother, Harriet Bailey and lived with his grandmother. His mother would sometimes sneak over to Frederick’s plantation to see him.
When Frederick was only seven, his mother died and he was not allowed to go to her funeral.
When Frederick Douglass was eight, he was sent to Baltimore as a gift for his owner’s nephew, Tommy Auld. Frederick was treated better there. Frederick taught himself secretly to read and write since the Auld family didn’t think slaves should know how to read or write.
Frederick soon grew older and was sent back to his plantation. He hated it and tried to escape but was caught and was put in a jail. Frederick then planned his escape and escaped by boarding a train for New York. He then changed his last name to Douglass and dressed up like a sailor because he was afraid of being caught.
Shortly after escaping slavery, he lived in New Bedford and joined several organizations including The American Anti-Slavery Society.
He subscribed to William Lloyd Garrison’s weekly journal, The Liberator, which is all about abolition, a movement to end slave trade. Several days later, Frederick gave his first speech about how everyone should be treated equally.
He told of his hard times in slavery and captured a lot of people. He wrote autobiographies about his tough life as a slave.
Frederick gave much more speeches and one of his most famous quotes of all time is…
“I would unite with anybody to do the right and with nobody to do the wrong,”.
After the Civil War, Douglass still worked to reach “land of free”. He thought everyone should be treated equal, from black, to female, to Native American, or Immigrant.
Frederick Douglass traveled to Ireland and the United Kingdom to give speeches on slavery.
When he got back he started to work on Women having the same rights and respect as men.
Soon Lincoln was shot a Forbes Theater and since Lincoln and Douglass mostly teamed up, Lincoln’s cane was given to Douglass and still remains in his house to date.
Douglass continued his work to make everyone equal and even made speeches at colleges, including Bates College and Lewiston Maine in 1873.
Douglass then spent more time with his family. Including his wife, Helen Pitts Douglass.
Soon in 1893, Douglass attended a meeting of the National Council of Women and shortly after he came home, he died of a Heart Attack and was buried in Mounte Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.
Frederick Douglass is my favorite Freedom Supporter of all time. Not only did he demand freedom for slaves, but he also demanded rights for women too. He just wanted everyone to be treated equally.
