The Decision

She tried to calm herself down,she was getting really scared.She was starting to wonder if someone or something else was in this place with herMaybe she should take a look around,she would certainly put herself at ease,if she could finnd out what it was..Sarah mustered up all her courage and started for the stairs.As she looked up,even the stairs seemed imposing.They were wide enough that four people could walk side by side.The Martins sure did like things grandiose.She listened very carefully,not hearing anything,started up the stairs,taking them one at a time,trying not to make any noise.She reached the top and there,in the ceiling was the entrance to the attic,which you had to use a stick with a hook on the end,to pull the stairs down.Sarah remembered the note left by the Martin's instructing her not to go into the attic.Sarah checked out each and every room,which had taken the whole night to do."maybe it was just my imagination."she thought and just as she was about to go down stairs,she heard a shuffling sound.She turned around and listened.After a few minutes she was convinced that her mind was playing tricks on her.

Chapter Two

Sarah returned downstairs and was thankful it was morning but she was exhausted.She would try to take a little nap and then take a walk.After a few hours,sarah woke up and decided to go for a refreshing walk.She wandered the grounds for some time before returning.She started getting hungry and turned back towards the mansion.As she walked into the kitchen,she noticed that it was an absolute mess.When she had been in the kitchen yesterday she had cleaned up after herself and now there was food all over the place,that's when she noticed a window open.'It must have been a raccoon or something that got in,Damn it,I'll have to clean this all up"Sarah said with dismay.She started cleaning the kitchen and when she was all finished,she prepared a sandwich for herself.Before leaving,she made sure that all the windows were shut,She didn't want to have to clean up again.

The power was still out and she was becoming bored.She decided to take a look around,she returned upstairs and started with the first room,she knew she couldn't do them all,there just wasn't enough time.Sarah looked around the room and noticed some boxes.Sarah opened the first one annd found some very old photo albums,as she flipped through the pages,she noticed a picture of the Martin's,when they were younger.Mrs.Martin was holding a baby.
