Spooky adventure.

Once upon a time long ago…2 girls named Julia, and Aaliyah . they decided to walk around the streets, at 1:Am early in the morning, they both saw a big castle with a Lion gaurding it,  they looked scared but at the same time excited. as Julia and Aaliyah took steps forward to the castle they got more scared…..minutes and minutes went by as They got even more closer to the castle and more scared. They both walked up the stairs, when they got their the door was already open….Julia slowly walked inside, with Aaliyah behind her slowly and quickly  holding her shoulder. When Aaliyah took a step in she made a noise, Aaliyah quickly shoved Julia inside and shut the door as hard as she can. The Lion got up and turned around when the two girls ran inside, the Lion didn’t know how to get in so he spashed the door open(Since he was big) Aaliayh turned around with a shock on her face. As Julia ran up the stairs and hid somewhere. Aaliyah ran to the kitchen and hid somewhere. THE LION RAWRD LOUD ,  Aaliyah and Julia heared the Lion rawr but they didn’t know what it mean’t. The big Lion than went up to Aaliyah and Rawrd, Aaliyah got scared and just stood their, The lion made Aaliyah sit on his back and went upstairs to find Julia as Aaliyah didn’t care. Julia got up and went to the kitchen to find Aaliyah but before that the lion was right next to Julia. The lion took Julia to and took them outside...Aaliyah and Julia were confused. Than the lion let them both down, Aaliyah and Julia just stood their and the lion sat next to them……..Hours and hours went by as Aaliyah and Julia never thought the lion was scary after all. They all became friends and just looked up at the stars and Dats the end.
