The Ruby
Carlos Sรกnchez del Moral
Last year I went to the town of Aylesbury in a cold February day. It was a small village with chickens in the streets and happy children playing in the square. One day, when I was having dinner, the waiter told me that I shouldn't go out at night. He told me a strange story about a black dog which appeared around the village since many years ago. There was a legend that if you looked at the dog's eyes, you remained paralysed to the end of your days. I didn't believe in stories of ghosts and apparitions, so I went for a walk, even better if there weren't any people on the streets, as I loved relax. It was a beautiful night. The sky was full of stars and I went to a nearby mill. Suddenly, I heard a noise behind a tree; it looked like the growl of an animal. I wasn't afraid, so I went there and I saw a big black dog with red eyes. We looked at each other. I was paralysed by surprise. I didn't know what to do and I decided not to move my legs. Then the dog turned around and went to the mill. There, he looked at me and waited for me. Did the black dog want me to follow him? It seemed so, and I followed him. The situation was very strange. And the black dog seemed even more friendly. Later, the door opened and we walked inside. The mill was empty, but the black dog went straight into a wall and stones moved. We walked through a tunnel and at the end there was.... a giant ruby !. It glowed in the dark. I didn't know what to do. I thought the dog would bite me or throw me a terrible curse. Suddenly, the black dog disappeared.
Time went by and I didn't dare to touch the ruby. Maybe I could die, or I just be paralysed, as the waiter told me. So, I called the police. I didn't tell them that I had seen a black dog with red eyes like fire; I told them that it was a coincidence to find that place and the ruby. Why did the dog want me to find that ruby? Nothing else happened ... for a while. I had forgotten the stories about the black dog that the waiter had told me. The ruby was taken to the most important museum in London, and soon thousands of people could see it on display in a glass case. Every time someone looked at it, it looked like the ruby threw a small flash of light. A year later the horror started.... All newspapers had an amazing cover: "Strange case: Every day thousands of people become blind" And the next day more people, and more and more ... and blindness spread through London, nearby towns, other countries... Nobody knew what was happening. The doctors could not find an explanation to that blindness. But I knew what was happening: the ruby was cursed. Authorities didn't believe me. I told them that they had to destroy the ruby, because all people who looked at it would go blind. The black dog has disappeared from Aylesbury. Anyway, I will never see his red eyes like cursed ruby again. They think I'm crazy. And I know I'm not crazy. I'm blind, but not crazy.
CANDELA SALMERÓN LÓPEZ Once upon a time, there was an Irish family who decided to travel to England during their summer holidays. They were staying at a hotel near a big forest of oak trees. At the hotel, the small child, David {who was five years Old} made a lot of friends, because he was very funny and everyone loved him. Liza, who was eighteen years old, was angry before travelling because she thought that it would be boring, but when they arrived she found out that she loved it. Everybody was happy in the family, everything was good. One day, they decided to go to the forest to have a picnic. They had lunch near a pleasant and peaceful river with a lot of animals like deers, small white rabbits… When they finished eating they had a nap and when they woke up, David wasn´t there. .
They thought that he was playing and wanted to scare them, but one hour later they discovered that he had disappeared, because they had looked for him everywhere and he wasn´t anywhere. They where desperate and they decided to ask the police to look for him. The police organized a search, but they didn´t find him. They where very sad and everybody thought that the boy was dead, and they decided to go home.
One day, someone rang, and they where very surprised because‌It was their little child! They took him home, and he told his parents the terrible story of his kidnapping. He had been playing with a squirrel, when suddenly, someone caught him and took him to a strange place, and he fainted. When he opened his eyes, a terrible monster with blue eyes, a horrible face and long nails was looking at him. It said that he was very thin, and it wanted to eat him. One day, he escaped and he went to a city to call his parents. The mother was surprised, she thought that the child was playing, that he had lost his way, and somebody who was walking had found him and had given him a phone to call his parents. But the mother´s opinion changed when, the following night, she heard a Banshee wailing. She was scared and thought that, maybe, David´s story was true. She told her husband and they moved to new house in the mountains. On the way, they had an accident because something strange happened, and everybody except the child died. The boy went to an orphanage and he was there for three years, but during those years, he had a lot of nightmares about strange monsters and people. One day , an old woman who lived near an English forest adopted him. When they went to the forest, David remembered that he had been there once before. Suddenly, they stopped near a cave . The women started to laugh, and, at that moment, the child recognized its infernal look. It was the monster that had kidnapped him five years earlier.
He couldn´t do anything to escape from death. Thirty years later, a family went to the forest and they saw a strange boy, but when they saw his face they started to scream, because…Tt was completely white! One minute later, an old women appeared…

THE BLACK DOGS CURSE
Rachel Sánchez Wood
In 1972 a ship with historians arrived to Sidney port. They came from Egypt. They took relics from Egypt to the archaeology museum. Among the relics there were the black dogs. Tom, Sarah and Martin were at the museum since 9.00 am, when they noticed that the museum was closed but they still stayed there. They began to ask for help but nobody was there to help them. They were alone. Since this moment they began to feel nervous and scared. At midnight they were near the Egyptian art room, when Sarah heard some noises. All of them went to see what was happening there. When they got there, they saw that the black dog cabinet was broken. Suddenly Tom remembered something about the curse and four Egyptian dogs. When they were in a corridor they saw eight red eyes and they started to run. They found a safe place in a room, and Tom told the story about the Egyptian black dogs to his friends. When he finished the story they saw again the black dogs near them, so they began to run again but Martin fell and one of the dogs bit his foot and stole his shoe. After a few hours running, they arrived to the exit but it was closed. Suddenly the door opened, the sun shone in the room and the black dogs disappeared with the light. Everything became normal.
The Last Words Sergio Martínez Ruiz Thomas McDonald was a waiter who worked at a restaurant in Leicestershire, a village in the middle of England. He worked at the restaurant from 7:00 to 14:00, but sometimes his boss changed his working hours and he worked from 19:00 to 00:00. Some of those days in which he worked during the night, he saw somebody special in the restaurant. She was a beautiful girl with big blue eyes, as blue as sapphire, light brown hair and pale skin. Thomas decided to meet her and he went to talk with her. -
Hi, I’m Thomas. I’m the the waiter, can I help you?
-
I want to meet you in the forest after you finish work.
My name is Anna, see you later. Anna got up and went away. Thomas was very surprised, but he decided to go to the forest. One hour later Thomas was walking to the forest when he saw Anna. She was sitting on a trunk watching the night sky when she realised that he was there. -
Hello, I was thinking that you would not come.
-
Sorry but I was working.
-
It doesn’t matter. Let’s walk!
Anna and Thomas started to walk while they began to kown each other. Thomas started to fall in love with Anna; she was so pretty and nice. Thomas didn’t know that his first love was to be his last love. Thomas had not realised that they had come to an area in the forest where the floor was full of bones. There was when Anna kissed him. Thomas couldn´t believe it, but when they were kissing, something started to change in Anna; her skin started to turn into blue and to wrinkle, her teeths started to grow and change into metal, like her nails… It was when Thomas, totally paralysed, exhaled his last two words: -
Black Annis…
MERMAID VILLAGE Javier García Álvarez Castellanos and Guillermo Martínez Hernández The story begins in a town situated in the north of England, called Mermaid Village. Its name comes from the reason that there are a lot of people living there who say that they have seen mermaids near the coast, which is in the west part of the town. A few years ago, the town became deserted because people realised that every nine years three people drowned and all of them were fishermen. So the people started to get away from there because most of the population were fishermen and they didn´t want to be the next to die and, also, in search of better economic conditions. Three days ago, a family came to the town in order to relax and have a good time with their babies who were born two or three months ago. They didn´t know anything about the town so when they arrived they were amazed that there wasn´t anybody there. The first thing they did was to look for a place to sleep. They found a house which looked uninhabited so they decided to spend the night there. Suddenly, they heard a person singing in the west part of the town. It was the most beautiful and thrilling song they had ever listened. The father, William, and his wife were very frightened for the reason that it wasn´t normal to hear a person singing at midnight in a town which was so far from civilization. The father decided to discover what was happening and he went to the coast. The thing that stood out the most was the moon. It was very clear and bright. The view of the sea from the coast was amazing and he felt the need to swim there. The wife, Clara, started to worry about her husband and she also went to the coast leaving the children alone. When she arrived, she couldn´t believe what she saw. She found the head of her husband lying on the sand and a monster who had his upper body like a pretty woman with long blond hair and with beautiful blue eyes, and the lower half of their body from the waist down was that of a fish.
The monster went under the water and disappeared in the depth of the sea holding the body of William and their babies. At present, Clara is in a prison of England because of killing her husband and her sons. Nobody believes her story but everybody knows Mermaid Village is haunted.
Janeth Mero Morales Mark was a collector. He always walked through the forest in search of stones to collect. One day he found a stone that had the shape of an amulet with a bat drawn on it and he picked it up.
When he returned home, the first thing that he did was to get comfortable and then he laid the stone in a safe place. At dusk he went to sleep. The next morning, when he got up, it was night and he felt strange, he couldn´t move and could only see a lot of trees. He discovered that he was just in the place where he had picked up the stone the day before. The stone was at home but the bat was no longer in the stone. The vampire was free. As time went by, in the village strange murders began to happen, first in small animals and then in humans. One day a friend of Mark went to visit their old house and he saw what was happening with the vampire. He fought against the vampire, but the vampire killed him. The vampire is still living at Mark’s house and nobody hasn´t found out about him yet. The legend says that the vampire hang a stone to the necklace.

“ONE DAY THEY WILL BE RUBBISH” Julia Pagán Corominas This is the mysterious sentence written on the ground near Loch Ness. Many people, specially tourists and journalists, are around it. Nobody knows who could have writen something like that. But just a few minutes later people forget the incident and continue their business. At noon the beach is crowded, most of the young tourists are looking for Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. Some hours later, in the evening, a young boy is near the lake smoking and throwing the cigarette ends to the ground. He is looking at the lake when he sees something moving, but he thinks it’s a wave. At that moment in the village. The lights of the houses turned off. Everything is silent until a yell is heard. When people hear it, they go outside the houses and they ask each other what has happened. Someone says that the sound comes from the lake and everybody goes there. They are scared. In spite of the darkness, a woman sees an arm near some cigarettes. When she sees it, she shouts and everyone looks at the place she is pointing. Most people are scared but some time later they go home. The next evening a scared boy goes to police station. ‘ I was in a picnic, then I saw something approaching inside the water so I ran away, but she didn’t, when I returned she wasn’t there’ , stutters the boy. The policeman goes where the boy said and sees a dirty cloth on the floor with rubbish on it. As a matter of fact, the policeman decides to investigate the case. Next afternoon a group of friends are talking about the things that have happened and they decide to make a plan. Later they go near the lake and they put trash on the floor, then they go far away in order to see but be safe. From the lake it comes out an angry thing, it looks at the rubbish and also looks around in order to see the person responsible. As it doesn’t see anyone, he goes into the water again. The friends look at each other amazed. ‘That’s Loch Ness monster´, says one of them. The group tells everything to the people in the village and they also tell them that they have another plan.
After that they go to the beach and put a poster that says: “WE ARE SORRY, WE WILL NEVER THROW MORE RUBBISH” After that day the monster didn’t appear anymore.

A terrible night (Inspired by the Boabhan Sith legend) Lena Álvarez Siebert One day a friend told me a story about something that had happened to him a couple of months ago. He was at a Halloween party with his friends. One of them began to sing and his companions began to dance around the room. They wished they had the company of women. Seconds after they had spoken, a group of women dressed up as vampires appeared at the door and began to dance with them. As they became hungry they phoned a pizzeria and ordered a pizza with garlic. When the pizza man arrived, the women began to scream and so the group of friends discovered that they weren´t normal people but real vampires. Suddenly someone remembered the old legend of the Boabhan siths, a particulary evil and dangerous female vampire from the Highlands in Scotland that had attacked a group of hunters in an abandoned cottage. The women became frenzied, they tear the dancers and blood began to spill around the room. The only survivor was my friend. He succeeded in saving his life taking refuge behind the mixing board and this created a barrier over which the vampires couldn´t cross. He spent a long and cold night behind the mixing board with the vampires circling around waiting for an opportunity to pounce on him. He fell asleep and when he woke up the creatures had disappeared. He looked around and saw that all his companions where dead, he ran away and called me to tell me this incredible story.

A NIGHT IN THE CASTLE Carlota González Gómez and Laura Calmache Montesinos It as was summer, and Timmy’s grandfather invited him to spend a weekend at his mansion. But this weekend was the birthday of his best friend, Michael. So he invited him, too. The next day they travel to the north of Ireland. A few hours later, they were opposite a castle, where Jack lived, Timmy’s grandfather. They never imagined that his grandfather lived in a castle. Before dinner, they went to look around the castle. They found some stairs that went down to a big gate: the basement. It was a dark place so they turned on some torches. They found a book on an old table. The book was called: Magical Creatures. They read some pages, but they didn’t understand anything. They saw the picture of a vampire, and it interested them enough. At the time of dinner, they asked Jack about that vampire and the old man told them that that vampire was called The Phantom Of Croglin Grange. He told them an event that happend a few years ago, when he was 40 years old: this vampire went into the children´s bedrooms and after frightening them he killed them. That night both slept in the same bed. At midnight, Michael got up because he had heard a sound. He opened his eyes and in front of him, there was The Phantom. He thought it was a dream, but when he turned to his friend Timmy wasn’t in the bedroom. Michael asked for his friend, but this criature only said a code: RobertQueen1298. Michael ran to tell Timmy’s grandfather, and showed him the code; he remembered that in the garden of the castle there was a crypt with this code, so they run out and found the crypt. They dug and opened the coffin, but it was too late, Timmy´s nails were sunk into the coffin, and he was dead.
Finally they discovered that the vampire always attacked with a reason. The reason was that when the children opened the book, the vampire came to life. Mr. Queen had died in his own castle, had kept his soul in the book and thus had turned into a vampire.

He stopped the car because the dog didn´t move. Alfred got close to the black dog but the dog began to growl. Alfred returned to the car but when he was going to see the dog, the dog had disappeared. Finally, Alfred decided to come back home. That dog had been too much dreadful for him. That night was really strange. When Alfred was going to bed, he heard strange noises and saw terrible shadows. The next day, after a too much long night full of nightmares, Alfred decided to have his cup of coffee as he did all mornings. However, that morning was different, when he came out to the porch of his house; he saw the shape of a dog running through the trees. Alfred began to run towards the trees but he didn´t find anything. When he returned home, a smell of blood and raw meat spread all around. Alfred was really frightened. He didn´t go to look for Tobby again. Also, he stopped working. He began to get mad. Alfred didn´t come out of his home for weeks. Nobody knew anything about him. One day, Alfred´s parents went to visit him because they were very worried.

The Event María López Hidalgo The Stuarts pertain to a family of nobles located in the north of Ireland. One night they were going for a walk when a Banshee, a witch dressed of green, with a gray layer, long hair in streaming and red eyes of so much cry, appeared and gave a cry funeral lament. This lasted only a few seconds, and she disappeared. The Stuarts started to comment what had happened. They had heard about the Banshee, that is, if it appears to you with a cry of funeral lament is that something bad will happen. They thought that it would be a legend and this would be somebody’s joke. They returned home and Marina, the daughter, didn’t think that it was only legend or a simple joke. Therefore, she decided to seek information about the Banshee. Marina found a girl to whom the same thing happened and lived near his home. They started to talk and they met in the morning in a coffee shop to talk about it. The girl called Esther told her she was camping with friends, when a Banshee appeared: “everybody started to laugh and we thought that some of us had done that, but nobody said anything. A week went by and nothing happened. Everybody forgot what had happened, but I did further research. A week later misfortunes began to happen to a friend who was camping with me, after another friend and another… Everyone except me. Some died in a road accident, others by domestic accident, but nothing happened to me. It is very rare; I think that it is because I was the only one that did not joke about it. Nothing will happen to you but to your family it will, because they think that the Banshee doesn’t exist.” Marina came back home, but she didn’t tell anything to anybody; she would wait for a week to see what would happen. A week later Marina thought nothing would happen. Then the phone rang, her father picked up the phone. It was from the hospital. Her mother had had a car accident. Marina, her sister and her father went to the hospital; there the doctor said to the family that her mother was in a coma. The family started to cry and they remembered the Banshee. Marina told them that she had been looking for information about the Banshee and that she had spoken with Esther.
Later they thought to go to the place where they had found the Banshee to break the spell. There the Banshee appeared, the father asked her to take away her curse, but she started to cry a funeral lament and she disappeared. The family came back to the hospital; they were there all night. The next morning, Marina went to see the Banshee. But the Banshee didn’t appear. She saw a girl asking an elderly woman to take away the curse. Marina was hidden behind some trees, the elderly said: “for what you did to me, you will be a Banshee forever”. Marina heard those words and they arose many questions about what she had done to the elderly woman? Or why the Banshee was a young girl? Marina came back to the hospital and she told her sister, Marta, what he had seen. Marta and Marina decided not to tell anything to their father yet. They went to look for the girl. When they found her, Marina told her what she had seen; then the girl told them that ten years ago she was with friends in a park, when the elderly woman was walking there; everybody started to laugh at her and I took the grass ball that she was carrying in her hands. Therefore, she was very angry as thanks to that ball she could see what was going to happen in the future. She decided that she never would see the future, but she cast a spell: I would see all the bad things that would happen in the future and I would appear at night to mourn, so everybody would fear me. Marina asked the girl if she could remove the her family’s curse, but the girl said that she couldn’t decide that. First the elderly woman had to remove hers. Marina had an idea, she went to talk with the woman. She said that if she removed the curse to the Banshee, she would return the ball. But the woman didn’t believe her; she said that until she had the ball in her hands, she wouldn’t break the spell. Marta and Marina went to see their grandmother, Catalina, who could see the future with her ball and they told her the story. Catalina accepted. Marina and Marta went to see the elderly woman, when she saw the ball, she decided to remove the curse of the Stuart’s family. Hours later the mother came out of a coma and they went home. From that moment on they would never laugh at legends.

wolf pounced on the carriage to steal food. The coachman turned the horses but a wheel broke and they had to spend the night in the dark forest. The sky was dark, they could not see the stars and a storm was approaching. The wolf pack took the opportunity to catch their food and the men had to defend his carriage. King Arthur’s best friend was attacked by the old wolf and he was injured. Soon, the sun came out and they went to the nearest town to heal the boy. While the village doctor cured the king's friend, King Arthur asked for the way the lady’s village. A village elder told the king that there was a shortcut to the village, but it was much more dangerous than the other way because there was a legend that in this way many people had died and people did not know why. King Arthur thought he and his friends would find out what happened in that road. King Arthur went to tell the driver, the warrior and his friend the story of the way but they were scared. Finally, they accepted the adventure and the next morning they would begin the journey. In the cold morning, adventurers began their journey into the forest. They were very attentive but nothing happened. Halfway there was a lake that emitted a strange sound. That sound was from a monster that lived in the water and it was who killed people. The monster had all the bodies of the people he had killed in his lake. As King Arthur and his companions were very secretive, the monster did not notice their presence and they prepared a plan to kill him. They attacked the monster when he was misled and cut off his head. They took his head in his carriage to show it to the townspeople and the kingdom.
When they killed the monster, they went to the next village to tell people that they were safe and they showed the monster's head. All the villagers thanked the King for his courage. That night he prepared a ceremony. In that ceremony, as they ate and danced around the fire, King Arthur saw a beautiful woman and he fell in love at first sight. She also thought that the King was very nice and danced together. The king proposed to the girl to go with her to his kingdom and get married and she accepted. They went together to King Arthur´s kingdom and celebrated the wedding and the arrival. Finally, King Arthur was happy because he had been brave and killed the monster in a remote village and married a beautiful lady.
When you think nothing could happen Joaquín Hernández Sánchez A long time ago, in Medieval Times, there was a village terrified by a dragon, a big red dragon. Twice a day, he usually walked through the village in search of somebody that he could eat. People were very scared because they didn’t want to be eaten. The Mayor decided to send a team to try to kill the dragon and so liberate people from the fear to be eaten. One of the men that was chosen was the husband of a woman and the father of a little boy so he left her family to go to the mission. When they were in front of the dragon’s cave, they were surprised by the creature and they tried to murder it but the dragon killed everyone in the team. After two days, a hunter told the villagers that he had discovered torn clothes near the cave. The wife of one of the men emboldened and went to revenge her husband. She prepared a backpack with a weapon, a big piece of meat and a knife. When she arrived to the cave, she threw the piece of meat on the floor and she waited. The dragon woke up and went to eat it. He went out of the cave and the woman attacked it with the weapon but the dragon turned to her as if nothing had happened, he held her and he took her up to his mouth leaving the backpack on the floor. The creature tried to eat the woman but the dragon fell down, killed by a gash. The woman tried to find an explanation but suddenly a man appeared from the shrubbery. The man was her husband and after him his partners also appeared. She was cheerful and together they returned home. When they returned to the village, the man told them the dragon tried to murder them but they escaped and when his wife appeared, they went to help her. People were very happy and celebrated the end of terror for a long time.
BLACK DOGS Alvaro del Olmo Vidal Adamstown (the former capital of the United States) was founded on 4th July 1761 by William Addams Tucked in the northern corner of Lancaster County; the tiny village of Adamstown boasts at least four ghosts. Originally called Addamsburry, it is built on the site of a Native America Indian village. One of the ghosts is a small black dog, who appears seemingly at random and follows pedestrians before vanishing as mysteriously as it came. One day, when a child was walking on the street, a dog approached him and kidnapped him. His father, who was a policeman, wanted to discover who or what had kidnapped his son, and then began to look for clues and found some dog hair that pointed to the old House on the Hill. When he was near the house, he began to hear the barks of a dog louder and louder, until, before entering the house, the terrible dog appeared. There was a great battle between wit and strength. After fighting for a while, the policeman managed to push the monster over a cliff that was close and save his child.
The Mysterious Mansion Sergio Martinez Martinez Two children called Tom and Jack were playing football one afternoon and lost the ball in an old mansion next to where they were playing. In that mansion a woman who never went outside lived. The townspeople suspected she was a vampire. The two boys went into though a broken window to look for the ball. When they entered, the house was dark and some rooms had the doors closed. They entered some rooms and the furniture was covered with sheets. The house air was thin. You could hear screams of a woman continuously. The children were frightened. At that moment the woman appeared. She was a tall, thin, pale woman with a voice that sent chills to your spine. The children shouted scared, but the woman tried to calm them. The woman showed them the place where the ball was. After reaching the ball the woman appeared and closed the door of the room. The woman showed two huge fangs and children cried screamed. The vampire woman killed the children with a knife and she drank their blood.

One day class 2C went on a trip to England. When they arrived at the hotel it was fantastic. There were three swimming pools and in the rooms there were big bedrooms, a big bathroom and a lot of complements. There were a lot of people. The people who we knew were Mario, Sergio, Diego and teacher Mercedes. The first night a strange thing happened. We saw a strange person like a ghost in the hall but we didn’t give it much importance; we continued to enjoy the trip until the third night when Sergio disappeared. Teacher Mercedes said she would try to discover that. The following day she found Sergio and he said the monster was a horrible ghost; he had red eyes and was very pale. The ghost tried to kill Sergio but he managed to escape. When he returned we were very happy. The ghost liked capturing people but we had a plan. Diego was dancing in the hall and we thought to try to capture the ghost using Diego to distract it. When the monster appeared we discovered it was a costume. The terrible ghost was Mercedes and she was laughing at us.
