Looking for shelter

I arrived at night, when it was raining. The street was empty; there was not a carriage or light in site. Looking for some shelter I jumped down off my pure black horse and tied it up to the nearest tree and then I started to walk towards the black and rusty gate. I heard a thunder storm heading towards me, so I opened the gate in a hurry. As I did I heard a big long creek. I continued to walk down the muddy and wet path and I saw black crows circling the towers roof tops. I got to the old rotten door and knocked; there was no answer. So I pushed the ancient and rotten door and it swung open. I stepped in side.

When I stepped in and a horrible stench came roaring down towards me, I called out “hello” and the only response was the echo of my voice. I started to walk towards the dining area, but on the way I heard a loud bang in a near by corridor. It sounded like something had fallen and smashed then I knew I was not alone. The corridor was completely dark so I collected some dry wood form a near by staircase that had collapsed for a torch, I used what I learnt on the farm to light it.

I started to creep towards the corridor with my torch the in my hand, the entrance was made of stone and the half open door that was barely hang on to its hinges looked like it was staring right at me, but I pushed on. As I stepped into the corridor a shiver went down my spine, something was telling me that it wasn’t a good Idea. But something else was louring me in. the corridor was empty not a picture or light in site not even a spider I was like as if something repelled them away. The corridor’s walls were stone and the air was thick and cold. I had been walking for about 15 minuets but if felt longer. The torch started to burn my hand; I hadn’t got a lot of time left until I was completely in the dark. I had gone too far to turn back now. As my fire when out I had arrived at some spiral stairs; I was now walking I the dark and was tripping up every couple of step. When I walked up the stairs the air got warmer. I got to the top of the tower and heard noises.

I burst open the door and in that moment I froze, there it was; something I could only describe as a half wolf a half man monster that had been following me, it was standing on it’s back legs towering over me it’s red huge eyes was like a burning flame. I shouted “hey!” and ran towards it, as it jumped from the tower window it to the storm. The only thing I saw was its long, dirty gray hair and its sharp claws.

I started to run, all the way down the spiral stairs and out the corridor. I was going to run for the old and rotten door to get out but I found it block by the monster. I changed my direction and headed up stairs. By the time I got to the up of the house I started to walk. Trying to not alert the half wolf half man monster, I creped about slowly, but I know I was not alone. Everything felt like it was staring right at me, the pictures, and the shinny armour and even the wall its self. BANG it sounded like the monster was closing down on me. So I ran to the back down stairs. I managed to reach the out side were I thought I was safe until that moment...
