One night a girl called Akira was outside in the cold, but she saw a light so she jumped on her horse and went there. When she got there, she knocked on the door and it slowly opened and when she went in, she saw 10 people dead on the floor so she screamed and ran to the door but the door closed.
She went upstairs and locked the door and she went under the bed and she turned around and she saw a dead person right next to her. She screamed and ran to the door, but it was locked so she hid in a spot and was very quiet.
She saw a person with a sharp knife in the closet and she ran to the door and knocked on the door hard and called out for help but no one heard, but he said, “Oh well, you lose,” then he killed her.
