The Abandoned Party

Banana Becky

One day I was peacefully reading a book that was called The Journey and the Secret. I was gonna open the book but I heard a doorbell ring. I went, confusedly, to open the door. I opened it, but nobody or nothing was there. It rang four more times, but nothing was there. I was annoyed by the doorbell. There was one last doorbell. I opened the door, and a letter was there. I grabbed the letter and read it. It said, “You’re invited to a Halloween Party.” I was excited although it was nighttime, but I was still excited. After five minutes walking to the party, I made it, and it looked like it was abandoned, but there was a girl waiting for me.

“Come on, I’ll take you to the party,” said the girl, with a squeaky voice. I got nervous.

I followed her inside. It looked so dirty and dusty I was nervous, but then we ran to the dead end. Then I said, “Uhh, I think I should get going.”

“What makes you think you’re going!?”

“Ummm.”

As I ran to go to the entrance, she followed me and said, “Oh, you’re not going to escape from me, are you!?”

I ran as fast as I could, made it to the entrance, and I tried to open the door, but I wasn’t able to get out. I looked behind me, and she was still flying toward me. I finally opened the door, found the actual party, and dashed over there. The man that lets everybody in the actual party was standing at the door. I ran to him and said, “There’s a creepy girl after me, and we all must hide!” He listened to me and warned the others, and we all ran to hide somewhere. The creepy girl went inside and passed by where I was hiding. She dropped a book, where she kept all of her secrets. I opened it and it said that she gets trapped in salt and disappears in sunlight. So I found salt in where I was hiding. I grabbed the salt and dashed to her.

“What are you doing!?” said the creepy girl.

I ignored her and surrounded her with salt. She tried to get out, but she wasn’t able to. All of us waited and waited and waited. It was sunrising and the abandoned house disappeared, and instead of the house, there was a neighborhood. The creepy girl was still here!

“Oh no, she’s still here. She’s supposed to be turning into dust and whooshing away to disappear!”

“Silly you, I won’t disappear if I show you my secret identity,” said the creepy girl.

“How?” I said.

“By taking away my shadow,” said the creepy girl.

All of a sudden, the shadow of the girl was disappearing and I noticed . . . IT WAS MY OLD FRIEND KAYLA! “Kayla, what are you doing here!?”

“I don’t know what happened, all I know is that I passed out and woke up in a dungeon, all bloody with a white dress, and then I was being controlled by the other body,” said Kayla.

And that’s how the night happened. But there was one thing left that she had to do.

“What are you. . . ?” I said.

“Remember what I said about me showing my identity,” Kayla said.

“NO, don’t leave!”

“Goodbye, Bethany . . . ” she whispered softly, and then she became dusty and flew away . . .

To be continued . . .

Oh, and she wasn’t supposed to read the fake invitation!
