Chapter 1
¨Mom,¨ I said ¨yes sweety,¨ my mom said ¨why do we have to go to our grandma’s house. She literally lives in the middle of a swamp. She also never comes to visit us.¨ Yea¨ my brother Jake said.¨Me and your dad already told you we are going on a business trip.¨ yea I know that but why can’t we come,¨I said ¨because It is important and if you guys mess it up we would be really mad. And anyways no kids are allowed, The boss said.¨ ¨ugh¨ I look out the window and see that we are here.¨ Finally we are here. It stinks in this car,¨ my brother Jake said.
Then we get out of the car and my mom knocks on the door. My grandma opens the door.¨Honey the kids are here.¨my grandma says.¨coming, wow you kids were about to my knee the last time I saw you," my grandpa says. ¨Why don’t you come and sit down.¨Then we all come in and sit on the couch.¨Would anyone like some tea.¨ all of us shook our heads no.¨Well me and your dad better get going because the plane leaves at 1:00," my mom says. "Oh, okay bye.¨my grandma says ¨why don’t you kids explore the big house while I make some cookies.¨grandma says ¨okay grandma,¨I say. Then me and my brothers go explore.¨wow this is huge,¨ I said.¨Yea the biggest house I’ve ever been in,¨Jake says. I guess it won’t be so bad after all. I thought.
¨Ava come here!¨my brother yelled.¨I’m coming!¨ I yelled back. Then I run up the stairs ¨what is it¨ I said ¨look the door is locked," jake said. ¨You made me run up the stairs just to show me that there is a locked door,¨I said annoyed. ¨no listen¨he says, then we hear scratching noises scratch scratch.¨What do you think is in there.¨ He said¨I don’t know, how about we go ask grandma,¨I say. ¨okay,¨ he says. then we both run down the stairs into the kitchen,¨ Woah, slow down their kids there’s no need to hurry.¨My grandma says. ¨Grandma why is there a locked door upstairs,¨ my brother asked.¨Yeah and what is that noise coming from inside the room,"I ask
¨uhh oh my goodness look at the time it’s getting late. How about I show you to your guyses room.¨ Then we followed our grandma to our rooms. My room was HUGE like half the size of my house back at home. Even though it was huge I still didn’t like it that much. There were no windows, what there was in there was a bed a table with a lamp on it, and a closet with nothing in it. The only light came from the lamplight sitting on top of the mini table right beside my bed. I lay down on my bed. It wasn't really that comfortable but it was better than sleeping on the floor. So I pulled the covers up and said my prayers and went to sleep. Then I woke up when I heard a big growling sound, I thought it was just my brother playing tricks on me so I went into his room and noticed it was just like my room. It was huge but very little of things in there. And I also noticed that he was sound asleep snoring like a pig. Then I got a little scared just wondering what made the loud noise. Then I went back to sleep.
¨Good morning¨my grandma said. "I made some chocolate pancakes." Yum, I thought in my head. Then I walked to the kitchen where the yummy chocolate pancakes were waiting for me. I sat down at the table ready to eat the three yummy chocolate pancakes.
