A Night With Dracula

By: Hallie

    "Mom, why are you taking us here?" I asked.  My name is Amy.  Right now I am on my way to Dracula's Castle.  That's right, Dracula's castle.  When we drove up the road to the castle, many people were staring at us like we were dead people walking.  Then, I saw it.

    Dracula's Castle was huge!  When I stepped out of the car, I smelled rotting wood and many other unpleasant smells. "Mom, are you sure this is safe?" I asked.  "We'll just make sure we all stay together," she replied."And make sure you keep your candles lit." 

    I walked around the corner and saw an old suit of armor.  "Mom, Kimie, come look at this." No answer.  They were gone!  I could feel my heart hammering in my chest.  There was writing on the wall.  It said,"Don't ever come into my room or I will get you and I am talking to you, Amy Smith!!!"

    I stepped back a few feet and the floor gave way!  I was falling.  I didn't think I would ever stop.  Smash.  I hit the floor with a big thud. I thought I had gone to the very bottom of the huge castle, but I could see the hole that I had fallen through.  I had fallen on something soft.  It felt like I had fallen on a bed.  While I was falling my candle had gone out.  I reached in my pocket for the spare matches and relit my candle.  Just then I felt a sudden gust of wind.  My candle went out again.  My candle went out again.  A door slammed shut.  I could not see anything in front of me.  I heard footsteps.  "Mom? Kimie?" I called.  Still no answer.  Something was breathing.

    My neck was being breathed on.  I screamed.  All I could think about was Dracula.  What if he was haunting the house?  I pulled another match from my pocket.  I relit the candle again.  The wind stopped, the breathing was gone.  I ran to the door.  and pulled it open then slammed it shut.  I could not believe what I saw.

    There was a little metal plague on the door, on it were the words: Dracula's Room.  Just then I remembered the writing on the wall.  Was there really a Dracula?  "Mom!" I cried again.  I heard a muffled call for help.  I ran up the stairs.  Mom was lying on the floor with Kimie next to her. For a second, I thought she was dead, but she lifted her head and said," I think I've broken my ankle."  Together, we got her out to the car.  I looked at Dracula's dark window.  Two eyes glinted back at me. "Let's go!!!"I said, and we left.

Observation

     Right now I am going to tell you about a boy and his life on the playground. On the playground a guy wants to have fun. You should have at least one true friend. It is always important to have fun. 
     This kid has blonde hair, brown eyes, and big cheeks. He is about 3 foot 8 inches tall and is really skinny. He was wearing tan pants, brown shoes, and a red shirt with a see through yellow train on it. He also has little eyes and a small round chin.
     This boy is really a lot of things playful, hyper, and cheerful. I also think he is sensitive, athletic, and jumpy. To me he is more a leader then a follower. How about you read this and tell me.
    When his recess began he started to climb the jungle jim. During that he talks with his friends and does some flips on a bar. After that he goes to play handball and then comes back and pushes a guy off a bar and does a back flip on the pole. Then he wraps-up the recess by playing tag on the bench.

My Shoes
By: Caitlin

My shoes are my best friend,
I've had them since I was ten.
They go with me everywhere,
they don't really care.
They don't care where I walk or what I wear,
but they're always, always, always there.

One big, broken bat.
I'm hitting the ball too hard.
Over the fence, WOW!

Hello friend
By: Brittany

Hello friend,
It's good to see you again.
How long has it been?
I've missed you so much,
Everyday wishing you would come back.
Since you left me,
I felt like I've been left in the dark.
In the dark that is black.
Hello friend,
Never leave me again.
