13 Night's At Cott House

Night 2

Now back at Cott house, the evening was drawing in and the time had just turned to 5.30pm. All the teens went into the kitchen to start preparing their dinner, Micheal noticed that the cooker was a gas one, and thought they maybe able to clean it up and use it, so he asked David to help him find the gas tap, while the girls set about cleaning the oven.

As David and Micheal walked outside and around the back, the sun had just set over the hill with a lovely orange tint in the sky. They found what they thought was a gas cut off tap and started to turn it. The tap was old and very worn, so they both tried with all their might to turn the tap on, eventually the rusted and whether beaten tap gave way, and started to turn, as they turned and turned they could hear a sound, that was like the flow of gas, flowing through the pipes, David clumbed up to the 7ft ivy grown frame to the window above and shouted through to the girls "TRY THE GAS NOW". The boys gave it a little time before they heard Sophia shout back "YES IT'S WORKING". David climbed back down, while Micheal started rumaging the bushes, "what are you doing?" David asked", "well, ask the girls if we need fire wood" Micheal replied.

David climbed back up to the window again, but was greeted by a ghostly old woman stood face to face with him, her skin was as pale white as snow, she was in a white night gown.

David jumped in shock, in doing so he fell the full 7 feet to the stick ridden ground. Micheal ran over and asked "are you ok?", David nodded yes, and looked up at the window, but the white lady was not there.

David didn't want to tell Micheal because he didn't want to embarrass himself or make himself sound crazy, so he stuck to his pride and didn't tell anyone, it was in his mind just an accident.

Having collected some wood for the fire the boys made their way back to the kitchen to meet up with the girls. As David and Micheal entered the room the girls were hugging in fear. David instantly knew something wasn't right and threw his sticks down, and ran over to them to make sure they were ok.

With a tear sophia told David "there was a man stood in the doorway, he had a shot gun". David went out to investigate, but there was knowbody there.

Convinced that they are safe they sorted themselves oit with a drink and prepared their dinner, and sat down to eat.

The time came to to 8.20pm and the teenage daredevils went to their sleeping bags, to have an all nighter, with their snacks, crack jokes and tell ghost stories. But the stories need not be told as what was about to happen would shake them all up completely.

The clock turned to 8.30pm, when Soohia stopped the roudy conversation, because she heard the sound of a baby crying in thd dark echoey corridors uo stairs. As silence fell amongst the group, they all listened as the baby cried in the dark. Micheal was ready to up and leave, and this caused some disagreement between the group, David and the girls were ready to investigate.

As David, Michelle and Sophia slowly climbed the creeky stairs to the landing, followed by a very reluctant Micheal, the baby still cried on. Until they reached the top and stood on the landing trying to determine where the crying was coming from. As they wispered in debate, the time quickly approached 8.53pm. The gang of teens heard a pearcing echoey womans scream coming from one of the bedrooms to the right David and the Girls nearly ran in the opposit direction, but the dare devil coward Micheal ran down stairs to collect his belongings.

leaving him to it David went to investigate the room, from which the scream came from. Unknowly he opened the door to the lord and the ladyship's bedroom, but he found just a bed and a few old bits of furnature. As he entered the room he couldn't help but notice a very over powering smell of vomit, coming from near the foot of the bed.

Covering his nose he instantly left the room and closed the door behind him. David went to rejoin the girls on the stairs, to find Micheal had packed his bags and ready to leave. David and the girls rushed to him, trying to convince him that everything was fine, and that they had probably just eaten to much sweets, so they were hallusinating.

As they talked over their intensions, the time approached 9.15pm, when they heard, a really loud bang from a shot gun, come from upstairs again, Micheal ran out of the front door without hesitation.

As he ran out onto the drive, a wall of fog rolled in very quickly. In a panic ridden state he plundged himself into the thick dense fog, to find the road. He ran and ran but the fog became so umbarably thick, he has soon became closterphobic.

Panic struck him hard, harder then he ever felt before, he convinced himself he was lost, that was until he noticed an out line emmerging from the fog. To his confusion and much disappointment he was stood outside Cott house again, he unwittedly down a full circle and could not get away from Cott house.

Scares that he might be the ghosts prisoner here, he decides to tey again, bit just hit the same demise, over and over again.

After many failed attempts Micheal decided to go back into Cott house and meet his friends again. Micheal walked into the main hall, to find Michelle and Sophia crying in each others arms, while David was rumaging the bags.

Micheal cried "we can't keave the house". Both the girls and David looked at Micheal with confusion, Michelle asked "what are you on about, if you want to chicken out then do it?"

Micheal continued to cry "there is such thick fog out there, that you can feel your own breath on your own face, yoy walk in a straight line, you come back to the house, you walk in zig zag, you come back to the house, it's like the house doesn't want us to leave.

Sophia started to panic, but a more rassional Mitchelle told them "we'll wait for the fog to clear and we'll leave in the morning, i don't want to stay, not after what we had to night".

But little did the teenage darw devils know, that this was just the begining. Now all of them were terrified they all sat quietly, and decided that they was now going to take the dare very serious.

The teens all sat in a circle, and started to feel comfortable in talking to each other again, but the relaxation wasn't going to last. David looked over Michelles shoulder, to see a little boy running down a corridor behind her. "urm, a kid just ran down the corridor behind you" David told Michelle.

Scared, Michelles heart raced and pounded like a base drum. As the group looked down the corridor they hoped to see him again, and hoped he would be an intruder rather then a ghost. But as they eagerly awaited the little boys arrival again, the group heard foot steps as though the propriotor was wearing heavy boots, they heard the heavy foot steps walking along the corridor from the lord and ladyship bedroom and then they looked on with complete amazement, when a ghost of a soldier like figure slowly drifted down the stairs in front of them, and went towards the front door, and straight through it

The group were now so scared they all wanted out. But they knew they were prisoners in the house until they can try and get throug the dense fog again in the morning.

The group of teenage daredevils all cuddled into each other for comfort. They heard more footsteps and loud bangs coming from above their heads, and behimd them, a sudden draft put out their fire and only light they had.

As time went on their fear slowly dampened down, because things seemed to quieten down, on the ghost front. They sat huddled into each other in the erie hall, where they sat scared in the dark, awaiting to hear their next fate, but all was deadly quiet, each teen could hear their heart pumping, while they all breath heavily.

Sophia looked up to notice that the only, all be it dim light they had was coming from the window over the front door, which shone a very dim and dull light upon them. As they slowly started to calm down, the house became silent again. the ghistly goings on had finished for the night.

As they sat looking around into the dark corridors and up the dark stairs, desperately hoping that nothing else happened, the little dim and dull light they had shining down onto them, became a dark shadow, the group turned to see a old lady in a black wedding type dress floating towards them, with her wide open dead white clouded eyes, black rooted teeth and grey wrinkled skin she floated towards them slowly with her arms open wide.

The group screamed in terror and ran into the dark corridors, to get away from this thing, however, in doing so, unaware that they were splitting themselves up from each other, they all ran into different directions with no source of light.
