The dreaded book (3 ratings)

'Where are they all disappearing to?" Mrs Oldy
moaned, while scratching her head with a blunt pencil. Of Course I knew where they had gone, I saw it happen, but why would they believe me, the dreaded book had taken them. I wasn't one to leave this alone, so I helped.
I wondered what it would be like if I was in the old book. Should I go in or not? It was a decision I had to make, I couldn't decide, until I heard a fateful scream coming from the dreaded book. I now knew they were alive, so I couldn't burn the book. Before I changed my mind I prepared myself. As I leapt into the book I felt a cold shudder through my bones.
Inside the book was the one thing I didn't expect, there in front of me was a ghost, who had metallic green hair, a golden crown and a white sheet covering her, this ghost had a name that made people and animals shudder, her name was Arion, she made us work everyday. Sorry I can't tell you more but Arions guards are coming and they might see me writing, better get going, bye!
