The creep

I'm going to begin my story in the 1950's the 1950's is a wonderful time filled with joy. my name is Dorothy I'm only 11 and  life is so simple. I never knew the the man next door for the simple reason he was a creep and would lurk around at night.....well that's what my parents told me, i never really saw him outside but now that i think about it  i never saw him at all. At school there was always story's going around about the old man apparently his name was bill, he was about 50 according to everyone. one year later On the 8th of December 1951 me and my best friend Annie had a  sleep over and we planed how we would get the old man out of his house and that night we came up with the master plan. The next day  Annie and I decided that we would just have to go inside of the old mans house. That night around 6 o'clock after Annie an I had  finished dinner i said to my mum and dad that i was tired and was going to bed, so i went off to bed,  my parents went to bed around 7:30pm that gave me enough time to pack some supplies such as my trusty pink torch and my note pad and pen, also i was wearing a thick jumper and my blue shorts and Annie was wearing her black pants and her fluffy pink coat, i managed to climb out my window and shut it quiet enough for my parents not to hear, Anne had done the same and i meet her 2 house's up and walked down the road until we were in front of the old guys house. We decided to go around the back to avoid being detected as we tip toed through the back gate  and got within 2 metres of the back door we heard a noise that  sounded like a thump of someone  stumbling and we ran  to the little bush in the corner for some cover and we looked over the little bush to see if the coast was clear we saw a light come on upstairs and a shadow appeared to be  looking out from behind the curtains we thought to our self's how on earth  did he see us. We sat there for about 25 minutes until the light and the shadow finally disappeared. Then we slowly emerged from behind the little bush that we had used as cover, and crept towards the old wooden door and we quietly walked up the  veranda to the door, to our surprise the door was unlocked so i wrapped my hand around the door and slowly yet carefully twisted the handle to open it we pushed the door  and snuck in we left the door open in case we had to run, as we entered the  house we saw the old staircase and the lounge with the old rocking chair that was sitting in the  corner it was rocking but there was no one in it we were instantly frightened we decided to keep searching as we got to the bottom of the stair case the back door slammed shut our little hearts were racing i thought i would start to cry but i didn't i started to walk up the stairs with Annie right behind me as i got half way up the staircase and we heard a door creak open i wanted to go back but Annie said there's no  point turning back now we have almost reached our goal Dorothy. As we trembled up the stairs we saw three rooms one of the rooms doors was slightly open and the other were shut Annie and i decided to go to the room that was open as we crept to the room directly in front of us we heard  foot steps coming  up from behind us Annie and i were terrified at what was coming for us so we ran into the room and shut  the door behind us  in the room there was a single bed with ropes hanging off of it and a small  wardrobe i hid in wardrobe and Annie hid under the bed as everything in the house fell silent we heard the foot steps getting louder we were at the point of almost crying with fear. We sat in our hiding spot for at least 30 second until the door was forced open as the loud footsteps were  getting to close for comfort Annie screamed and  that lead him straight to her and he got on his knees and pulled her out from under the bed screaming i heard a bang and she fell completely silent and i instantly started to tear up i held my hand over my mouth to avoid being heard. i just sat there to scared to move and it felt like i was in  there forever i thought by this stage my parents would have noticed that i was gone i heard his foot steps leave the room as he  went down the stairs i slowly opened the wardrobe and stuck my head out and there was Annie laying on the bed motionless with her eyes open i screamed and leaped out of the wardrobe and ran down those stair as fast as  my legs would carry me and as i was almost near the door and i could see that it was open he came out of nowhere and grabbed me i screamed out HELP!!!! as he shut the door and put his hand over my mouth my last thought was what a bad decision we had made.....
