The Nightmare

This wasn't where he wanted to be, he wanted a beautiful house with a lot of windows, not this house in the middle of a lot of plants and trees. He felt like trapped.

I'm an eleven year- old girl, who is very brave and patient, but the only weakness I have

is that the forest makes me freeze.

My family is very strange. My dad always cries for my mother’s death, and my brother is crazy, he says that in this house we are all going to die, except for one person.

Well… it was night, and my father went to the attic, I was spying him, he watched videos of the family that lived here, when suddenly, in the movie, the family appeared

hanged, and my father fell down. Then a sign appeared. A very strange sign.

In the morning, I saw father talking with a friend about the sign, he said that the sign represented a sinister that took the soul of children, called “Gobouru”

At night, I was looking through the window, when suddenly “Goburu” appeared. I ran to dad and told him everything, he said that we had to leave.

Dad and I looked for my brother, when suddenly, we turned back and there was my

brother, but he was controlled by “Gobouru”. He was carrying an axe to kill us. Dad was trapped and then...

“Noooooo”, it was too late, my father died.

I tried to run, but “Gobouru” stopped me, but it was something that called my attention from Sinister, it was his face, Sinister was Mom, “Ohh no… It was horrible”.

I turned back, and he was picking up his axe and then he walked to me, and he took his

axe and, “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…” “Oh my God”, it was a nightmare. I got up, and I

saw a beautiful house, and there were mom, dad and brother, it was beautiful, I've never told them my nightmare, but after all, we lived very happily.

The breaking glass of the 8 days

I woke up and I went to drink something, I was alone in my house and my family were going to come in 8 days.

In the first day I heard a strange noise in the room that was next to mine, I thought it was my cat.

On the second day someone died because of a crash and all the glass broke and it also hit me and I could die. That night I also cleaned all the pieces of glass and at that moment

I heard a little voice that said “run until your parents come” . I thought it was my mind and I was so tired that I went to sleep.

On the third day I went to the park and I saw the same breaking glass in the same

position that yesterday and the little voice appeared again, “I told you to run, come on, run she’s coming; you won’t have time if you don’t run now!”

I was really scared but I just wanted to eat something so… At night I was also going to sleep and I looked through the window where the breaking glass was and there was a little

girl. I waited until she went other way but I was so sleepy that I went to bed. On the fourth day I woke up and I saw the little girl in my bathroom saying some words.

When I asked her what she was doing she saw me and that girl had a scar in the head. I

asked her how she did it that scar and she told me “You should know it, you were there, don’t you remember?”

That voice appeared again and said “Do all the things but run from her she’s not what you think, run!”

But I ignored that voice. That little girl who had a scar on her head told me that her parents died so I offered her food and to sleep in my house.

On the fifth day I started to know the girl more. I asked her a lot of things but she was a

little rare, sometimes she waited a lot to answer me things. It was as if she was inventing but I thought it was okay because she was a little girl.

On the sixth day I was going to eat something and I saw a shadow in the bathroom. I was going to see what that it was but when I entered… The little girl in the mirror had a

horrible face. When she turned around I saw her in a normal way but I was really scared so I told her to go to sleep right now. I got really angry and scared… I told her she

shouldn’t make her face turn like the one of the mirror and she told me: “You heard a voice

telling you to run because she was coming and you didn’t do what the voice wanted you to do. Now you will pay that.”

That night I saw her saying: “she ignores the noise, she will pay it, I promise, Mum, I will do it.”

On the next day she ignored me. All the things that I did, she ignored them all. I told her to do something and she ignored me. So I got really angry and I told her: “I offered you a

room, a lot of food for you not to be alone in the dark streets but for you it is the same!”.

And she went to sleep but at 12 of clock I heard a voice saying: “1,2,3 I’m going to the stairs, then 4,5,6 I’m in the corridor, then 7,8,9 you should do what the voice said… and

when I opened the eyes… I saw her in 1 second and she was carrying a knife and then…”

grandpa. My grandpa is very old but he had a very interesting life, he always told me stories but now he tells me stories often, once a week.

One day, my grandpa woke up, and all the streets were “black”, the people were sad,

and awful, all the people were fighting for food, but grandpa’sfather was totally calm.

Why?, because he was rich and he had all the things that he wanted. But one year later... the Nazis stole everything from my grandpa. They stole the money, the house, the cat, the

fish, and the worst thing that happened was that my grandfather’s dad was murdered.

My grandpa was alone, with nobody, but when he was 21, he met an Argentinian woman of 35 years old, they had one baby, my father, and they adopted a Brazilian boy,

who died in a trip to Hawaii. The plane fell down. The name of the boy was Marcelo My

father’s name is Leonardo, my father married a woman from Chile, Elena.

They have 3 children, Mauricio, the oldest, Sofia, and Marcelo. I am Marcelo, my father gave me that name because of his brother that died in 2000, and I was born in 2001.Now I

am 12 years old, but, when I grow up, I want to be like my grandpa.

“A man that fought for his life and never, never, stopped fighting.”

The mystery man

The lights appeared out in the darkness. I was so scared that I had to put the blanket on

me. It was raining very hard and I was waiting for my parents. Then I heard a noise in the

kitchen. So I went downstairs. There was a tall and faceless man. I thought he was a thief

who was looking for money. So I tried to call my parents but there wasn`t any electricity.

My dog was shouting, the piano started a melody.

The next night, when I went for a glass of water to drink, I saw notes stuck on the wall.

I started to collect them with a fast movement. I saw him again so I ran to the attic.

There was a door that said “keep out”. I tried to enter but it was locked, then I saw the key

in a box so I entered. There were a lot of drawings from that man.

I started to think that this was the this man’s house. Then when I turned around I saw

him and I fell asleep.The next night I wanted to film that but there were no notes, drawings

or the man and this happened every night.

The mystery house

We weren't where we wanted to be. We were in a house that was very empty. It was not

our house It was my grandpa's friend's house. When we were there, we entered the house. It was at the top of the mountain. The house was very little, old and original. It was

created by an architect Jackob Artist, in 1806.

After spending years in the house, we got used. Five years later we all met at my house, and shared a family lunch. A man knocked on the door and said: “You have to

leave the house”. He was a very elegant and very serious man with a suit.

My mother and father, at the same time asked why. “Where are we going to live now? “

And the man replied: “Not my problem, here we are going to build a shopping mall.”

All the family was very worried. Where would they live now? With which money?

Murder in Paris.

My little story

Marg threw her bag on the floor and burst into tears. She was dismissed from her job. Suddenly a car stopped in front her and kidnapped her! Marg saw a man that put her to

sleep with a strange liquid.

When she woke up, she realized that she was in a place the she didn´t want to be. Marg was tied up on a chair, in the middle of a white room with a big black glass.

Suddenly, she heard a loud voice shouting at her, she didn't understand what it was

saying.

Few minutes after, she heard a voice shouting again, and she realized that a person had entered to the room, but nobody appeared. Two hours later, a man entered to the

room where she was, he untied her and took her with him.

He told Marg, that she could never see her family and friends again, because she was

into much danger. She didn't understand why she was into much danger, so the man explained to her that she was the daughter of a rich man that had employees that killed

people for him, and now that her father was dad after a terrible accident, she had to die! She burst into tears and started to shout. When she kept calm, the man told her that they

had to travel to Paris, the capital of France.

When she went to the airport with the man, she realized that seven people were following

them. She told this to her partner, the man, and they started to run. Suddenly one of the people in black, who were following them, shot the man, her partner. He fell in the middle

of the airport and died. She burst into tears, but she realized that if she stayed there, she will die too, so she started to run without stop. She was so frightened, but she couldn't stop

to cry a few. She had to run yes or yes! She went to a hotel and started to shout: “HELP! I NEED HELP! PLEASE, SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME? PLEASE! ” But nobody understood

what she wanted to say, because she was in the capital of France, Paris! Nobody could

understand her!

She realized that nobody could help her, so she had to run away because she saw that four black people were there, so she went running to the “Eiffel Tower” and went up stairs,

when she was at the top of the tower, she saw a little boy with a cellphone, and she asked him if he could bring his cellphone for a call. The boy brought her the cellphone and she

called her sister, Sophie, and she told her that she was in France, and that she had to die,

this was the chat:

”Hello Sophie, listen to me carefully, I m in Paris, I... I... have to die, our father was a killer, and now that he is dead, I have to die, I don't know if you have to die too, but be

careful, you have to know that I love you very much! Bye...” But suddenly a man answered her, it wasn't her sister, and the man said; “Okey, thank you for the information, I ll tell you

that your sister is dead, your mother too, and your little dog too, hehe! Good Luck Margate!” She shouted and burst into tears and said thank you to the little boy. When she

tried to go away, a black man hanged her with his arm and pushed her from the tower.

Finally she died and all her family and friends too.

Marina

My Best friend

I didn’t want to go to the party but I had to because my mum wanted me to have more

friends instead of my neighbors, but I’m always telling her that I don’t want to be their friend because nobody is like me! They are just like each other even they don’t know the

meaning of friends, like my mother.

I went to the party that day, I was begging my mother not to go but she got angry with

me and finally she took me to the party. During the whole party I didn’t talk to anyone, I didn’t enjoy it, It was so boring! They never have an original party but the worst thing was

that I stayed there like two hours. Finally when the party finished I was waiting for my mum at the front of the house sitting on the floor, she never came, I thought she had forgotten

that I was at the party. Suddenly a girl, called Mindy, came, She sat down on the floor with me and we started to talk. We realised we have many things in common. We talked till my

mother came to take me home.

The next day we met at school, she told me if I would like to be her friend. Obviously I

said yes.

That is the story about my best friend and how we met.

Clara

Unfinished business

“This wasn’t where I wanted to be…” I was pretending I was dead, that I had died in a

fire when everything was caused, I was letting her suffer. “How was I going to tell her I was trained to kill four people because the government was afraid of them telling their secret?”.

Now I had to live with the guilt. She was in danger. Something was after me, I thought that maybe it was someone from the government that wanted to kill me.

Every night I went to her house, climbed through the fire escape and looked through her

window, I realised she wasn't there, but it looked as if someone had broken in, the door

was opened the lock was broken, the carpet was all messy and the chair was on the floor. I also smelled a very common substance to make people fall asleep.

I looked for her everywhere in the city, in every alley, in every roof but I never found her.

It was as if she had vanished from the earth. No one knew where she was and some people told me she was in a complicated situation, I asked them what kind of situation and

I didn't like the answer, she was also a criminal, I guess we both had our secrets.

Alina

Strange Case

-Taxi-Taxi!

-Yes -Where do you want me to take you? -I want to go to the East of Amsterdam.

This wasn’t where I wanted to be, and I think I have to start again. I’m a thief, I am escaping from the police because I stole a Ford GT40, which is very expensive. And I

forgot that in those so expensive cars, the police put a thing to detect where they are. Now

I’m escaping on foot and I am in an abandoned town in the East of Amsterdam, this it very dirty and all the things I see are broken. I’m walking there with care because I am scared,

and I don't want to get hurt with a nasty piece of steel or also get ill or murdered in an extreme case.

Now I am entering in the houses looking for some food and for a place to sleep well and

safe. It is at night and I am seeing some lights, I think it is the police, but I’m not sure if I

should surrender to the police or if not. Well I have decided and I will give myself in to the police.

One moment, that isn’t a police car, this is very strange. I have to run! I have to run!

Well I think this is my END.

The avenger

This wasn’t when he wanted to be. When that black man was with that gun and he shot him, everything turned white. He was my father and I was going to take revenge. I am a

good student. My dad was a millionaire and I live with my butler. My dad was secretly a hero and I am going to follow his legacy. My name is Roby and I am going to do justice.

When I was leaving school, two people were hitting a little boy. I put on my father’s

clothes and I saved him. The boy told me, “Can I help the people with you?” I told the boy “No”. And I disappeared in the dark.

When I went home, on TV they said that the president was dead. A bad person called Pingüino killed him. I was going to take revenge for the president. I started investigating

but there was nothing. Maybe he was the person that killed my father, my butler said. I know that he was going to attack again.

Today I received an invitation, for a party of millionaires and I hoped the Pingüino was

going to be there. At night he was there but I had to attack in secret when the party

finished. I was going to kill him. He turned around and he saw me. He said, I killed your father and I am going to kill you now. With a gun he shot me. At that moment and I said it

was all right. A year later the police caught the Pingüino.

I was bored because I didn't sleep well the last night; she said that because m y friends said that the party was very funny.

The previous night before the party I couldn't sleep well because I was scared, I thought

that in my bedroom there was a ghost. I now there was! All my family said that I am crazy because of that, but they were crazy because they didn't believe me.

Yesterday in the morning, my cousin was very rare, I think that a ghost did something to him. But, as usual, my family said that I was crazy, and the reason was my cousin had

stress. I asked him what happened and the only thing that he said was “Carla get lost, Carla get lost”. I didn't see him today yet, I’m very scared!

Yesterday night, a ghost attacked me, I shouted and my mother came to my bedroom, she

saw the ghost and she shouted with me. So, now, our family said that we were crazy. But,

when all the family were having breakfast, a ghost came and killed my cousin. One month after, we found out that the house was a cemetery. Because of that, we are going to move.
