It was late, really late. The old school was completely dark and super quiet. It was Halloween night, and the wind outside was making weird, creepy noises. Maya and Liam were inside the huge school library. They had to find a very old, important history book. Liam was barely holding a small, weak flashlight. He looked terrified. "I hear a really soft sound," Liam whispered. His voice was shaking. "Like someone is walking slowly." Maya tried to sound brave. "It's just the old school, you know. Maybe the wind. Come on, check behind that tall, dusty shelf for the book."
Liam pointed the light. "Look, Maya! The shelf is moving a little bit! And I see a long, black shadow!" The shadow moved incredibly fast behind the shelf. It was a person! It was Alex, a strange guy from their class. He wore a dark, dirty coat that looked way too big for him. "Alex! Stop! What are you doing here in the dark?" Maya asked. Alex was holding a small, wooden box really tight. His eyes were wide and nervous. "I came for this box. People say it holds the oldest secret of the school."
Suddenly, all the lights in the library completely died. CRASH! A huge, loud noise came from the main entrance. Liam screamed really loud. "Not the wind! Something else is here, Alex! Something really bad!" Alex dropped the wooden box onto the cold floor. "Run! It's not the secret I wanted! It's something else! Something alive!" They ran as fast as they could, leaving the box and the shadow behind them.
