The building on the hilltop vanished in
danced over the half-moon disappeared behind
the darkness.
uThink Mom and Dad will at least send me a
card? Heather asked.
"Huh? A card? For what?"I asked.
"For my birthday. It's in two days," Heather
said. "See? You forgot, too."
She gave me a hard shove that almost sent me
tumbling down the hill. "I told you no one ever
remembers my birthday."
"Could you please shut up?" I groaned. "Who
cares about your birthday right now? We didn't
sneak up here in the middle of the night to talk
about your stupid birthday"
"You're stupid," she muttered.
She said something else, but I didn't hear it.
ne hissing rang so loudly in my ears, I could
barely hear my own thoughts!
We reached the top of the hill. I was drenched
in sweat. I wiped my forehead with the sleeve of
my T-shirt.
The moon slid out from behind the clouds. Pale
light swept over a long two-story building. The
windows were covered. No light escaped.
A tall hedge blocked the front of the building
from view. I couldn't see an opening in the
hedge.
The hissing eut off again. And now we stood in
a deep silence.
Was anyone up here? Why did the hissing
sound keep starting and stopping so suddenly?
Follow me" I whispered to Heather. My heart
was thumping like crazy in my chest. I lowered
my shoulder and pushed my way through the
hedge.
I turned and helped pull my sister through
the thick, prickly branches. Then we stopped and
studied the building.
"Does Dr. Crawler live up here?"
the mess hall."
"Is it somebody's house?" Heather whispered.
"No"I said. "He lives in the little house behind
We stepped closer, into the deep shadows of
the building. The front door was narrow, built
of solid wood. The whole house stood as dark as
a tomb.
I orabbed the doorknob and twisted it. I gave
the door a tug.
Locked.
on them, Heather whispered.
All the other cabins and buildings have signs
"Maybe they want to keep this one a secret"
I led the way around to the side. My flip-flops
squished on the wet grass. A chill trickled dowm
my body.
I knew we weren't supposed to be up there.
But it was too late to go back.
Keeping close to the wall, we turned and erept
slowly along the back of the house. "Heather,
look I pointed to a dim orange glow up
ahead.
We found the back door and peered in
through a smeared glass window. I saw a nar-
row hallway. It was lit by a small lamp on
the wall.
I tried the door.
Yes! Unlocked. I held it open for my sister. She
hesitated for a moment. I saw a flash of fear on
her face.
"Want to wait outside?" I whispered.
She stuck her tongue out at me.
My legs were shaking as I stepped into the
hall. Warm inside. And silent.
I shut the door softly behind us. I waited for
my eyes to adjust to the dim orange glow.
The hall led to a single door at the far end. No
other doors or hallways.
"Let's see what's here," I whispered.
I took a deep breath and began to ereep toward
the door. The plank floorboards creaked under
us. I tried to walk on tiptoe. But that isn't easy
in flip-flops.
Any moment, I expected someone to come
popping out that door and grab us.
But no. We made it to the far end of the hall.
I took a few seconds to catch my breath. Then,
carefully... slowly... I pulled open the door.
Darkness on the other side. I couldn't see a
thing.
Heather and I stepped into the room. Where
were we?
We raised our flashlights-and gasped.
They. they're ALIVE!" I cried.
