Emeline Bac's House of Horror

That day was special. Emilie was getting married and all the family was present to celebrate this event. After a wonderful dinner and several hours dancing, Ben and I and my parents in law decided to leave the party. The night was cold, without any clouds. The moon was shining, therefore no lights were necessary to find our car. As we were driving back home, some thin patches of fog appeared on the road. The lines were moving like waves under the car lights. We crossed several woods. My mother in law and I were joking about the gloomy situation when we suddenly heard the car spluttering! Ben tried to restart it without any success so we decided to go to the nearest farm “Le Jaqueterie” to get some help or at least to phone somebody, as there wasn’t any cover. We weren’t joking any more. The song of some birds gave us goose pimples. We all left the car with only a torch to get your bearings. Every animal noise was multiplied by the silence of the night. The patches of fog weren’t improving the situation. We were so scared. But after 20 minutes s walk we could make out the farm and the shape of a person. We tried to call him thinking it was the owner. But our voice couldn’t reach him. We were heading for the farm. Once we arrived, we knocked at the door without getting any answer. The door was half-opened. The situation was scary. We entered the house. Some blood was on the ground, we found two bodies lying there. My father in law tried to resuscitate them. Then we heard a noise at our backs. We turned round and a man with an axe was in the door frame. We tried to escape, but it was too late. The men were trying to kill my mother in law. She was injured and was bleeding a lot. We went upstairs, but we were rapidly stuck. We were hidden in a closet, so the murderer went to the second floor. We took advantage of that to escape. We ran towards the woods. We didn’t have time to phone the police. We spent the rest of the night waiting in the forest. We were spying every noise. When the sun rose we walked to the next house. We saw police cars at “Le Jaqueterie”. A policeman had found the 2 bodies and was telling us that a psychopath had escaped from a hospital and was probably at the origin. A policeman drove us back home.

The night after, as everybody was in bed, we heard some strange noises coming from the front door. We got down to see what was happening when we saw …..
