Once upon a time there were three children.
Their names were Bella,Mia and Sophie. One day
they were looking at scary pictures of haunted houses.
"Hey guys look at this one" Mia said.
"We should go there" Sophie said.
"But it dosen't look safe" Bella said.
"Don't be a baby" Mia and Sophie said laughing.
"Fine we can go" Bella said looking grumpy.
The girls packed, then off they went. Finally they arrived.
"It looks so cool" Mia said.
Then she disappeared,so did Sophie.
Then a witch appeared.
"Oh no!" Bella screamed.
Just then Bella kicked the witch into the door.
The door opened. Bella ran inside. It was dark
and creepy. She saw some light. She ran to it.
Finally she found Mia and Sophie. She led them out, but as soon as they ran out the door the witch got up.
"RUN!" Mia screamed. The girls started running faster. Finally the witch lost sight of them. The girls reached home and they never went to a haunted house again.
