Answer:
I was reading a book when someone rang the doorbell frantically .I opened the door to see an old lady.She looked bit weird.She was a pale old woman with shiny white hair and horn rimmed glasses. I hadn't ever seen her before so I grew a bit suspicious but still I asked;``What do you need mam?''She replied,"help!"I couldn't understand what exactly that meant and also started to feel a bit concerned as I was all alone in the house.I asked her,"What do you mean?"She just turned around and said,"follow me".I was really surprised but I still decided to go with her.We walked down the street to a narrow lane and then walked through a few more narrow zigzag lanes for almost 5 more minutes after which we reached a weird deserted building.There were a few palm trees around but not a single soul could be seen.I walked up to the house, which seemed more like a mansion in ruins.As I walked near the huge iron gate,I noticed a nameplate .I took a closer look at it but couldn't see anything much because of the rusted letters.When I looked back to ask the lady why she had brought here I noticed that she had left. I looked around but couldn't see her anywhere. "what can I do now?"I thought feeling not really brave. inside,I was still cursing myself for coming out with her. I decided that I should probably should go back. but alas,I didn't remember the way back either. at that moment. I heard a loud screeching noise from inside the mansion. probably someone did live inside it after all. It seemed more like a do or die situation I didn't have much I could do. I was already evening time and the sun was about to set.I knew it would be all the more difficult to go back once it became dark. so even though I did not want to ,I mustered some courage to go inside the huge ruined mansion.I expected I would find some help there. I tried to open the gates but as I could not open them I climbed on to one and jumped down inside the boundary of the mansion.
Inside I saw a garden with some grass which looked really dry and untamed. I couldn't look back now.I walked straight and was just about to ring the doorbell when I heard someone talking inside.it was the voice of a man. I put my ear close to the door to Hear more clearly. indeed I did hear what he was saying.He said,"Is the kid here?"and then I heard a familiar voice which shocked me. it was none other than that old lady. she had gotten inside from some other door!! I began thinking and my heart started beating fast. my breathing rate after I realized that they were actually talking about me. who could they be? Probably some criminals,kidnappers,murderes? the worst thoughts started coming to my mind. what will happen if they catch me? Would they kill me?Was this all a plot? Probably!!I decided to hide and wait for the right moment to escape.I walked back and then heard the click of the door knob.Someone was coming out!In a desperate attempt to save myself,I went inside the garage which was just beside the house.It was really dusty and I felt like coughing but held my breath somehow.As I walked inside the garage after shutting its door quickly, the man heard me.He said,"Hey the kid's in the garage!!Get him out!"I quickly bolted door and ran to hide somewhere where they couldn't find me.There was an old car lying there.I tried its door and luckily that opened. I climbed inside and shut the door again. inside the car I saw a dusty old photograph. But from what I could see I felt that I had seen this person somewhere.I racked my brain to think who he was but could not really remember. As I was lying inside the car quietly I looked out of the window and noticed a little door at the other end of the garage. thinking it was one of my ways to escape, I moved quietly out of the car, pushed the door open and went straight inside it. what is inside really intrigued me. it was a dimly lit room but cleaner than the rest of the house.
