Locario

10 – Zea Mays

Hunted House

Once on a very dark, cold night there lived the Locario family. They were a kind hearted,

happy family. Their house was quite grand but there was only one thing about their house, their

house was a HAUNTED HOUSE!!

The story begins with all the Locario family fast asleep in their warm cozy beds. During

the night when the clock struck midnight, a silvery white ghost appeared. After the ghost

appeared, he yowled a very spooky sound. Whenever he yowled that sound, lightning

struck! Even though the sounds were so loud, the family were still asleep. Well asleep except for

two – Reyhn and Caroline, the 7 - and 8-years old siblings. The sibling was very adventurous.

They decided to find what was making that spooky sound. They jumped out of bed and started

looking. First, they looked under their beds, then behind the clock and all around the house but

they couldn’t find where the yowling was coming from. They looked outside but they still

couldn’t find where the noise was coming from.  Eventually they gave up. Reyhn said “if we saw

whatever that spooky thing was, should we have told them off?”. Caroline replied “yes,

definitely”. They silently crept back to bed. 

In the morning Reyhn and Caroline heard a crying sound coming from outside. The

siblings politely asked if they could go outside. Their Mum replied “of course you can so long as

you get dressed first”.  “We will Mum” they said running up the stairs flinging off their pajamas

along the way. 

After the siblings got dressed, they quickly raced outside to the grassy garden. Suddenly they

came to a stop when they were face to face with a crying ghost.  Caroline said bravely

“wwwwwhats the mattttttter” while shaking. “Are you alright?”.  “I keep scaring people but all I

want to do is to help” said the ghost sadly.  “Hmmmm” Reyhn said. “I’ve got an idea!  Our Dad

is an excellent inventor.  I’m sure my Dad can help!”.  “Great!” said the ghost.  “I’m glad you

found me”. All the three decided to meet after the girls had told Dad what had been going on. 

The girls found Dad busy tinkering in the cellar making new fantastic inventions like he

always did. Dad said “I’m making a no spooky sound medicine”. Well, what a co-incidence.

Reyhn asked Dad if she could borrow it and off the girls went carefully clutching the medicine

making sure they didn’t spill a drop. They gave the ghost the medicine. He trusted the girls by

drinking it all up. That night, the ghost went back to the Nicholls family house, tried to make a

spooky noise but it didn’t happen. He knew that the medicine had worked. The ghost was so

thankful for the twins help, he silently floated into the girl’s bedroom and whispered “THANK

YOU!”.
