The Giant Haunted
House

I was playing with my friends when Kevin, the smart one,tripped over a rock. He
was ok, but when tripped the rock moved and there was a secret passageway. We all
went down it and kept following the dark trail until we came to 5 weapons(an
axe,spear,sword,bow,and 3 throwing knives.)
Timmy took the axe, Kevin took the spear, Trenten took the 3 throwing knives.
Nathanial took the sword,and I (Miles) took the bow.We kept going straight until
we came to two split ways. Kevin and Trenten went the first way, and Timmy,Nathanial and I went the other way.
Suddenly, we ran into our first bad guy. Well,more like bad guys. A herd of
skeletons appeared. Nathanial said, “I got them.” He fought and fought but
needed help, so Timmy swung his axe. Crack! One of the skeleton’s bones broke.
Now they where mad...really mad. They clubbed Nathanial many times. Timmy
laughed out loud. On the other hand, Kevin and Trenten fought mad monkeys. He
was good at throwing his knives and hitting monkey after monkey. Kevin was not
so good with his long spear. Monkeys slapped his face over and over. Kevin said,
“I needed that.”
Chapter 3
I was back, got right into the fight, and shot my arrow at the skeletons. We finally beat them and moved on. Not for long would we be alone. Kevin got mad
