I have been having the best summer with all of my friends. They are all of my closest friends; we all hangout wherever we want, and when we want. Me, A.K.A. Ruby, Liv, Jacob, and Jade. They are all of my closest friends. But, today something happened to us, something that we will never forget.
At 5 o’clock in the morning, we all are up to go to the beach for the sunrise. Jacob and I get our surfboards to surf into the sunrise. But Liv and Jade sit on the beach and watch us surf while they are eating their breakfast. While we are surfing, we see an old and abandoned lighthouse. Walking back from the ocean- we go and talk to Liv and Jade about the lighthouse while having breakfast. The lighthouse looked about a good mile away with a little rock climbing to get up there. All of us go and climb the rocks to get onto the top of the surface of where the lighthouse was standing on. Then, out of nowhere, I had a premonition, I didn’t know if it was good or bad. I was confused because everyone had made it up, but they didn’t bring all of the food. We waited for everyone to bring everything to the top of the rocks. I guess I just got worked up for no reason about her being too close.
Then we sat down on the grass next to the lighthouse and had a nice little picnic. But, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little figure, it looked like a tall man, with dark brown hair. I just forgot about it because no one else seemed to see it, especially because no one else saw him. After we finished out food, we knocked on the door to the lighthouse, and Jacob asked, “ Hello? Is anybody inside here?”. But no one answered the door, I pressed my hand on the door, and it was opened. Liv was kind of scared, but not as scared as me after seeing that man, they eventually got me to go inside.
I felt like someone else was in here, and not just us. I told everyone, “Guys, I think we should get out of here, we might be disturbing something in here, we should get out.”. They thought I was just joking so they explored more. We were going down some stairs that looked like they led into some sort of basement. When we walked in it was pitch black. While we were reaching out into the emptiness of the pitch black darkness, I was just about to grab the light switch, but someone whispered in my ear,” I wouldn’t turn that on if I were you.”.
I turned it on with the concern that something had happened. I looked around, everyone was across the room, other than Liv. We searched all of the basement. So we went to check upstairs or anywhere else where we were able to look.
While we were walking up the steep-old-creaky stairs, I felt a warm breeze from outside flowing in, but there was not one single door open, at least from what I could remember. I climbed the top of the stairs and saw Liv standing there, somewhat close to the edge but not enough to fall off. When we looked down, Jade was gone too. I said, “I think that man wants to get us.”. Liv looked terrified, but I was there for her. It looked like she now felt what I felt from seeing him. None of us knew why or how. But something was there. It looked like there was a secret door that was opened by something. All of us didn’t know if it looked like a human or creature, but it was opened recently. Liv and I tried to stay with each other to be safe, while Jacob was looking around for Jade . Liv saw a shadow and long blonde hair which looked like Jade’s and she yelled,” Come on, this way! I saw Jade’s hair!”. We rushed down the stairs and saw that Jade was smiling.
We realized that the shadow turned out to be one of our old friends, Henry. We were all so confused why Henry was following us and sneaking around to get us.I yelled,” Henry?! Why did you take Liv and Jade? What did you do to them? What happened?”.
Henry told us everything that had happened, explaining he said,” I was planning a party here for our whole grade. You know, for the soon to be seniors”.
Jacob had asked,” Well why did you take Liv and Jade then?”.
Henry said,” I took them to help me with decorating the lighthouse for the big party, which could also be something fun during the summer time! But Liv had other plans and thought that I was going to kidnap her.”
Liv exclaimed,” Yeah, sorry about that. I thought you were though! Since I was still a little confused, I asked Henry, “ Hey, why did you say I wouldn’t turn that light on if you were me?” Henry explained that, “ Oh yeah, I said that because I didn’t want you to find out about the party but I had put all of the decorations away by that time.”.
At the end, we all helped Henry with decorating the lighthouse. But the person who was watching us have the picnic near the lighthouse, again, was Henry. All of the decorations were old and didn’t look that good, so me and Liv went to the store and got new decorations. While Jade, Sam, and Jacob were helping clean up and cover up the marks on the walls and floor. We made the theme a cute beach theme, since we were already there. But almost the whole grade came to the party and I think it was the number one most fun night I’ve ever had and most adventurous night too!
