The Bottom of the Stairs

 The Bottom of the Stairs

Catherine had never been afraid of the dark. To her, the dark night was where adventures happened, where ogres fought each other in the forest, and where dragons  flew  through  the  blackened  sky.  She  had  never  been  afraid  of  the  dark before,  so  why  should  she  start  being  afraid  now?

Catherine  trod  carefully,  the  air  was  becoming  warm  and  wet  as  she  descended into  the  basement.  She  arrived  at  the  bottom  of  the  stairs  and  a  long,  tiled  corridor stretched  out  before  her.  At  the  end  of  the  corridor  was  a  door  with  a  deep  red  glow shining  through.  “The  dragon,”  she  said  to  herself,  and  crept  towards  the  door.

After she crept towards the door, Then BANG!!.. The door shut on her and she couldn’t see anything, cause it was hours of night. She panicked and her heart was racing above her chest. She tried to open the door but then realized it was locked. Catherine tried to find an item to help her see properly. While finding an item she found a lighter, stick, and a cloth. She quickly tried to make a torch after she was making a torch she was now done. SHe lights her way through the basement. When Catherine was walking she heard noises coming through the background and ran as fast as she could. While she was running she tripped on something and slowly looked down and it was a person's bone. She screamed “AHHH” and kept running. She stopped at a room where no one would find her. She rested there. She heard noises from under the bed. Catherine quickly got up and grabbed a stick which she found near the bed. She slowly crept towards the bed and the mysterious creature came out of the bed. Catherine was getting ready to hit whoever was under the bed. The mysterious creature popped out of the bed. Catherine stared at it funny. It was a small creature named Casper. She wondered why the creature never attacked her. Then she thought the creature was innocent. She picked up casper and Casper hugged her. Catherine thinks that casper is cute so she decided to walk with casper. She put down casper and casper led Catherine to something. Catherine thought in her head “Where is he taking me?'' It leads them to a mysterious cave where no one has ever heard of it before. While they were walking Casper led Cathrine into a small door in the cave. When Catherine enters inside the small door, SHE COULDN’T BELIEVE HER EYES!!... She saw dragons flying around and the place was called the Marketplace.
