One dark night I was walking home from my friends house, we were studying for a test we had in the morning.  As I was walking down the street to my house I saw a figure in the dirt lot just off to the side of where I was walking.  Curiously, I walked over to study the figure.  Once I got close enough I could make out what the figure was, to my surprise, the figure was a black cat with eyes that glowed a mysterious yellow.  Me and the cat looked at each other for a short time before the cat started to walk towards this old rickety house.  I don't exactly know why but I followed the cat.  As I walked up to the porch the door automatically opened.  I walked in, but to my surprise the cat was gone and the door closed behind me.  When I turned around I couldn't see anything it was so dark.  I found the door knob and was struggling to open it wouldn't budge. I started to panic, before I could even think I started screaming for help.  Then something grabbed me and I froze, too afraid to move.  Then suddenly the lights switched on and I turned around to see my brother and his friends.  They all screamed, "Happy Halloween!"
