The Villa

Shadows flickered at the windows, a low candlelight burned, hushed whispers are heard inside.

As night fell and stars rose two girls headed out into the night,

“Shhhhhhh” one girl whispered,.

“I’'m being as quiet as i can Helen” the other proteste.,

“dosen’t matter be silent as a mouse Emma” Helen replied “you know mice squeak so do i have to squeak as well” Emma retorted, a noise inside the abandoned villa silenced them “oh my gosh” Emma squealed, her voice high-pitched with fear “oh yeah forgot to tell you the ghosts like to party at night” Helen said sarcastically, with a hint of fear in her voice even though she was trying to lighten the mood.

The two crept near the door, Helen walked up to it but Emma stayed behind, “what are you doing” Emma whispered, “you can't just walk up to an abandoned villas front door, knock and expect to be welcomed in by a kind old lady!”

“Watch me” Helen declared, so she knocked on the door and heard the creak of floorboards “ahhhhhhh” Emma screamed and ran, “don't leave me here” Helen called “well i'm not staying!” just as Emma had uttered those words the door swung open, an old lady with curly grey hair poked her head out the door and rather surprised she said “what are you two doin up so late?”

“Erm well you see…” Emma started and then trailed off, “we were wondering if anybody lived here” Helen finished Emma’s sentence “well this is a surprise i avent ad anybody ere for a long time” she said with a strange accent, “well come inside then”

“Uhhhh okay” Emma replied rather shocked by what had happened then but followed Helen into the lady’s house. “wow” Helen breathed as they entered, the walls were painted with bright colours and the furniture was just as bright. “well this is a surprise” Emma stated “well i never” helen whispered.
