With the lights out, Linx gathered with the others around the candlelight. Each took turns telling stories, but Linx's smile grew wider with each tale. Finally, it was her turn, and she manipulated the fire to shadow her face just perfectly.
"I would say that it was a dark and stormy night when this story occurred, but it wasn't. In reality, it was just a normal night, and a normal drive home for this young couple. Driving down this hilly area was very pleasant, until they realized that they were running out of gas. Considering this, they went to an old house that was not far from the road, and entered it.
"The steps creaked with their every step, and the door shrieked as they opened it. The house was old, that was for certain, and it hadnt been used in a very long time. Cobwebs filled the corners of everything, long forgotten by their creators.
"They called out to see if anyone was home. Anyone at all. But there was no one. But there had to be a phone, right? So they looked around the lower floor; their search produced no results there.
"rap rap rap They stopped suddenly, looking at each other. Where had the sound come from? The boy pointed to the top of the stairs, and the girl nodded. Their search had been fruitless downstairs, so perhaps they could find a phone and the source of the noise upstairs.
"Upstairs was in worse condition than downstairs. Pictures were ripped and tattered as if they had been there for centuries. The floors had missing boards. Doors were barely attached to thier hinges. Still the couple moved on, hoping to find the phone.
" rap rap rap The sound came again, only slightly louder than before. They continued, Rap Rap Rap checking the first door, but it was locked tight. Rap Rap Rap They checked the second, also locked. Finally, they noticed only one door at the end of the hallway.
"The door was unlocked, and they stepped inside. This room was in the best condition compared to the house, even though there was only a rocking chair that furnished it. The rocking chair moved back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, silently making its mark into the wood.
"RAP RAP RAP They turned their heads toward the noise, facing an old closet door. The sound was just behind it! Acting brave, the boy stepped in front of the girl, opening the door.
"But there was nothing inside. RAP RAP RAP went the sound again. He looked up, seeing a large rectangular box lay on top of a shelf. He grabbed it, noticing how heavy it was, and lay it on the floor.
" RAP RAP RAP!!! The sound was louder than it had ever been! Swallowing her fear, the girl opened the box, and inside . . . .

. . .  was a roll of WRAPPING PAPER!!"

Laughing, Linx blew out the candle infront of her.
