 The House By the Grave Shaking nervously like a rattle, Lilly kept on walking straight and didn't look back, she could feel the boney fingers of the skeleton on her shoulder. She tried to scream for help, but she knew no one would hear her. "I'm NOT going to be a coward!" She thought out loud, but not loud enough so the skeletons could hear. She turned around. The skeleton hissed at her. Lilly pushed the hard skeleton, it leaped back and landed with a "THUD" on the floor. The ugly skeleton tried getting up, but Lilly kicked him right in his rib cage and ran. "Get her!" The skeleton commanded to the others, still laying on the floor. By the time she was running, there had been about 10 skeletons chasing her. Right. left, up, down. Lily had no clue where she was going! Lilly didn't even know where she was, all she remember was stepping up to the old house and then being sucked in! Now, nothing of that mattered, all she wanted to do was get out. Lilly was panting hard, she kept on running until she saw a door down the hall. Lilly opened it quickly and slammed it shut and quickly locked it. She was still panting hard, she slid down the door and sit down. The room was dark and awfully quiet. The skeletons did not see her enter the room, thankfully. Lilly was safe, for now at least. She knew that sooner or later the skeletons would find her. she tried to look around but it was too dark to see. Lilly didn't want to get up, she didn't want to do anything, but she knew she had to escape. She tried to find a light switch, but she didn't find anything. Then, she remembered she had some matches in her pocket. Lilly was using them with her dad to burn some wood, she carried her matches everywhere. Lilly flicked the match and a small flame started, it wasn't very bright but it helped. Lilly walked around, she noticed it was a bedroom by the red velvet sheet covers on an old dusty bed. Just then, lilly noticed a small window my the bed. FREEDOM! She thought. Lilly tried opening it, but it was stuck. Then, she had an idea. She grabbed a small, wooden stick and banged it against the window trying to break the glass. She finally got it open. Suddenly, the door knob started twisting, as if trying to get in. It was the skeletons. She hurried onto the roof. The door was know being banged by the skeletons, suddenly she saw a hand on the crack on the door unlocking it and letting the skeletons in. Lilly ran to the other side of the roof, the skeletons not far behind her. She looked down on the ground. It was high. The skeletons were getting closer. Lilly started to panic! She finally leaped onto the ground. She could see the skeletons up top. Lilly ran into the forest and didn't look back she ran, and ran, and ran. It's said that Lilly is still running in those woods today and she's turned into a skeleton her self after many years of running from her own kind.
