The sun was rising and filling the Crystal Cliffs with a ruby-red beam of light when suddenly Parker awoke with a terrifying jolt.There was a scratching noise at the door. A small-eyed beast peaked through the mailbox .Parker let out a sigh of relief as he opened the door to a Chipmunk, who gave him another letter to remind them that the Gorm were still following them. Parker checked the map and scrambled out of the door with his siblings.There was no time to sit around. 

As they jumped from one icy rock to another, Paxton’s mind wouldn’t stop racing. All he could think about was being trapped by the Gorm. They couldn’t stop now. They had to keep moving forward.

Several hours later, the fearsome troupe were close to the Haunted Horrors castle although they had to crawl for the last few minutes just in case the Gorm had caught up with them. As they wandered in they felt a shiver run through their little bodies.They took a few more steps into the castle and realised that every picture with eyes was following them. The trio looked around some more and could see silky, sticky spider webs with a cluster of hairy spiders. They looked to their left and saw a group of hazelnut coloured skulls and skeletons.

On the ceiling they saw a colony of bats and dragon shells. Suddenly they noticed a table in the corner of the room, they went over to see what was on it. They jumped back, there was a knife with spots of blood, a candle still burning, a jar of blood, a jar of eyes and a jar of wagging tails. There was also a pick axe so they picked it up so they could use it if anything got in their way. As they moved forward, creepy sounds were coming from the walls, like knives chattering and behind them they could hear footsteps along the creaking floor boards. They could also hear the breath of a ghost, screams for help and the never ending cracking of hands but the worst one was the sound of dolls singing songs as if they were stuck in their minds.

The  troupe ran as fast as they could. They knew a threat was coming and hid in a cupboard. Luckily there was a whole in the door to look through. Unexpectedly, they saw a swarm of bats fly through the never ending hallway. They had to find a way to get out of here.

Phoebe noticed a pattern every few metres in the hallway. There were unlocked doors to hide in. so could run through the hallway and sneak into the doors so that the bats couldn’t see them.
