Once there was a group of girls who always went into the woods after school.  Their names were Tasha, Nikki, and Alesha.  So one day the girls were going into the woods then they saw something unusual, and it was a haunted house. They were curious, so they went inside.

They heard, “Oooh.”

Nikki said, “What was that?”

Tasha said, “I think it’s a ghost.’

Then Alesha said, “We should get out of here.”

“Come on,” Nikki said, “Let’s explore.”

“Ok, but if you end up with an ax in your head tomorrow, don’t come running to me,” said Alesha and she left.

The next day she went back to the haunted house and found Tasha and Nikki.

Alesha said, “Ha, no ax in my head. Hey look stairs. You guys let’s go up them and look. It looks like this person used to live here then they heard someone coming up the stairs but then they heard,

“Get Out of My House!”

Nikki said, “I think that lady in the picture used to live here and died here and now she’s trying to haunt us. She’s coming. Look, there’s the door and it is opening.” Shhhut. “No the doors closed. She is going to haunt us until we die. Let’s hide in the closet. Ok it’s very dark in here.”

“Hey Nikki, can you stop biting my leg.”

“I’m not,” said Nikki.

“Ok then let’s turn on the lights. Ahh what are these. Let’s get out of here.”

“Yay we’re out.” Said Alesha

“We’re never going to get out of here. Yes we are. Look its open and her body is starting to form. Okay on the count of one, two, three!!! Go run faster close the door.”

“We’re alive,” said Alesha. “Look, a girl in stone. Look a wand and a note.

“What does it say?” said Tasha.

“It says use the wand to turn the lady in stone back to a lady.  Look there’s a note. One the lady knows. Medusa was here.”

“Wait,” Nikki said,” now we have to deal with Medusa. First let’s turn the lady back into her real self.”

“Then pick up the wand,” said Nikki.

“No. I’m afraid. “

‘Fine give me the wand,” said Nikki.

Whisssh! “Oh my god. I’m alive after that witch put me in a spell. Thanks so much. Wait how long have you been here like this”

“Five years.”

“Okay,” said Tasha. “We got to stop her.”

“Oh, you can just stop her with wands.”

“But there’s only one.” said Alesha.

“I didn’t tell you. There’s more. Look, there are some more under the stand there.”

“I got one.” said Nikki.

“Got one,” said Tasha. So they got one.

“Now, just put your spell on the witch,” said the lady.

“No, just say, put that witch in a stone.” Then they heard a scream. They checked it out and there was standing the witch in stone.

Then Alesha said, “Let’s never enter the woods again.” And then they never came back to the woods again.
