1st Place 4th grade: The Night of Halloween

One stormy night on Halloween there was a girl named Emma.  She had a brother, mom, and dad.

Emma and her family got invited to a party.  Once they got there everyone was in costumes.  One looked almost like a real vampire.  The party was going to end soon so Emma decided to go find her family.  She looked everywhere and she couldn’t find them.

Emma asked the owners of the house if she could stay for the night.  They were old so they were sweet and they let her stay for the night until she found her parents.

So Emma went to the guest room and fell asleep right away.

Emma woke up at midnight because she heard noises.  So she looked up and saw a boy.  He said, “You will be one of us soon.”

Then he walked away.  Emma thought it was just a dream but was still scared.  Then Emma went back to sleep.

In the morning she had breakfast with the owners.  While Emma was eating she heard noises.

She asked, “Did you hear that noise?”  The owners said, “What are you talking about?”  Emma decided to say no more.

It was lunchtime and the owners called Emma to the kitchen for lunch.  As she was coming over she heard footsteps.  But she saw nothing.

She went in the kitchen and asked the owners, “Did someone else live here before you?”  The owners said, “Yes, they were strange.  They had no lights in the rooms.”

Emma finished her lunch but then noticed it was almost time for dinner.  After dinner Emma went to bed.  Emma fell asleep immediately.  She woke up in the middle of the night because someone was in her room.

This time it was a woman and she said, “You will be one of us soon.”  Emma screamed.

Soon Emma fell back asleep.  In the morning Emma decided it was just a dream.

Emma spent the whole day looking for her family.  At night she fell asleep at once.

She woke up and saw her family standing in her room.  She realized that the people in the house the others nights were her family.

Then the dad said, “You will become one of us now.”  They started moving towards Emma.  Emma was terrified.  Emma started to run but her family stopped her.  Then they bit her and Emma turned into a vampire too.  Soon the vampires ruled the world.  Then the whole world was vampires.  To be continued……..
