The night before Halloween.

It was the night before Halloween and the Brown family were fast asleep. Only two people were awake and that was Angus and Martin the twin brothers. Suddenly there was a thud, “Did you hear that?’’ asked Martin. “Yes let’s go and see mum and dad.”  They went into the bedroom and mum and dad were gone.  Just at that moment there was another thud, “It’s coming from the basement,” said Angus.  They went down to the basement and there was a cauldron.  It was sizzling and it was filled with gloop.  Angus leaned closer and closer and then his brother fell in.

“Where are we?” said Martin.  “I don’t know,” replied Angus.  “We should ask that lady,” said Martin.  “Excuse me where is this?” said Angus.  The lady turned around and they both saw she was a witch.  “ Run!” shouted Angus. They were screaming and running for ages with the feeling of spiders on their feet.  The witch was just a bit behind when they ran into a big hut.  The witch locked them in. Angus was shaking. “You look petrified,” said Martin. “So do you,” said Angus. “Hey are you just going to sit there?” said a voice. “Aagh!” shouted Angus. “A talking rabbit,” said Martin.  “I’m called Nick here is the way out,” Nick pulled two floorboards out. “Down here and we will be back in the village,” said Nick. They all crawled down and they were back in the village.

“Hey you escaped!” shouted the witch. She was about to cast a spell.  “Oh no this is the end!” cried Angus.  Suddenly Nick muttered some words and shot them at the witch.  The witched stopped.  “She’s turned good,” said Martin.  “Thanks Nick,” thanked the twins. “By the way my name is Sally,” said the witch.  Suddenly some wind came and was blowing the twins up to the real world. As they went lots of Halloween monsters were singing, “Trick or treat, treat or trick, we’re gonna have sweets with Sally and Nick. Treat or trick, trick or treat, lots of yummy things to eat!”  When they got back they both said, “I’ll never forget this night before Halloween!”
