"Jen are you here" she herd a voise but wasnt to sure off where it was coming from she contunued to look around the house for hope ,but their was know one not even Rose and her parents! All off a suden the door slamed shut and locked, she figured that it was just the wind. She walked back over to the door and went to open it. But before she could get their the door opened my its self she screamed. . . she started to push the door shut again but who ever was behind was way to srong for her. all of a suden she door swung open and she fell over "please dont hurt me" she cried a soft voice replied "it needs to be done!"
