The Braveheart!

The Braveheart!

T’was a dark and foggy night in Melbrow street. The wind was howling ,it was raining heavily,accompanied by lightning and thunder ! Melbrow was never like this , it was a peaceful town and the weather was never this bad. Everyone but Sarah didn’t know what was happening. Sarah did NOT actually know , but she kinda guessed….

Sarah was a happy go lucky teen who was not afraid of anything,even ghosts! She lived at the corner of at 14th street with her brother and grandma. So, when the weather went bad, Sarah immediately figured that it must be the handy work of the evil spirit of Melbrow. “It must be Mrs.Perkins! “ she thought.  

Melbrow was believed to have a haunted house in the middle of town, a palatial building with no windows and dark green paint. People believed that the body of Mr. Grokenplik Grumpskertel Perkins was buried in the house. Mr. Perkins was a very rude and arrogant man according to the stories that floated around.  His wife is a wicked lady who is still alive,she never came out of the house but passers by could hear her mean laughter at midnight! Everyone avoided going to or near Mrs. perkins house for the fear of life, they knew that she was possessed by the evil spirits!

Mrs. perkins hated children ,People say that she was the wicked old lady who tried to kill Hansel and Gretel !! Sarah ,the brave little girl  knew that Mrs. perkins was up to something. The next day at school she discussed the issue with her best friend, Rose .

“ We must go into the haunted house and find out what Mrs. perkins is up to ”said Sarah.

“Uhh…uhh...My parents wouldn’t let me…” replied Rose. She for sure did not want to go to a spooky house. She was afraid of witches and darkness.

The day went on as usual, but sarah had already made plans. She HAD to figure out what was happening. The next day,instead of going to school  she headed straight to the haunted house . As she sneaked into the compound , she heard whispering inside the house. She moved closer to the door so she could hear better.Suddenly, the door  swung open and the witch came out and lifted Sarah up by the neck. She knew if she tried to struggle , the witch would kill her! Mrs. Perkins’ grip kept getting tighter and tighter …

Sarah  thought for a second ,she decided to fake her death and fool the witch…

The witch let go and  tied Sarah down on the huge table in the center of the room . “One more ingredient , and you will be soup girlie!! “ she scoffed loudly giving out a weird grunt.

“No!!”  Sarah was frightened for the very first time . “The witch is like Macbeth ,killing everyone she sees” thought Sarah. “I have to  fight this disgusting lady ” thought Sarah.

The witch took a very sharp long knife and brought it near Sarah. “The END !” she laughed meanly and  bent down to tighten Sarah so she could kill her without any struggle. Meanwhile, the quick witted Sarah sprung up and grabbed the knife and struck  it hard into the witches’ heart. But the wicked witch  sprung right back and pierced Sarah’s body with the shovel that was lying by the side of the table. sadly, the brave young girl succumbed to the injury….but, Sarah Simon --the courageous teenager died a braveheart rescuing the town of Melbrow from the wicked old Mrs. perkins!
