Horror Thriller Suspense

One day Sally and her friend Molly were at school. They were planning to have a sleep over with each other at Sally’s house. Sally lives on a haunted farm. Sally told Molly that she was hearing noises coming from the barn the other day. Molly suggested that they should check it out. After school Molly went to her house and Sally went to her farm. Sally lived with her grandparents on the farm. They always seemed very sketchy and they acted like they were hiding something. The next day they both went to school. After school Molly went over to the farm with Sally. They planned to go apple picking at night so they can pick the apples and try to spy on the barn. It was dinner time and Sally’s grandparents cooked a nice roast with vegetables. Everyone loved it. Molly went to the bathroom and while she was in there she found a bunch of razors with so much hair in them. She got suspicious so she told Sally. Sally was confused why there was so many razors. Night came and they snuck out of the window to the trees where they can get a good view of the barn. They picked the apples and Sally dared Molly to take a bite of one. Molly laughed and bit into an apple. When she bit in the apple it had hair all in the inside. Molly screamed and then they heard noises from the barn. They were both so scared. Before they went to check it out they went to the bathroom so that Molly could wash her mouth out. Sally’s grandparents were always telling her to neck go into their room every but she went anyway to make sure they were still asleep and didn’t here the scream. She looked in the bed and it looked a little lumpy. She walked over to the bed so see hair all over the bed with just pillows used to look like body under the covers. Sally took a moment to think. She was thinking of all sorts of things that could have happened. Sally went back to tell Molly about what she has seen. Molly was so confused. They went back out to the trees and saw that the barn door was open. They walked a little closer to only see the glasses of her grandpa. They were both terrified. Sally told Molly that she had to save her grandparents if they were in danger. They walked even closer this time. Molly pointed out a trail of hair that leaded to the back. They walked to the side of the barn and saw four trash bags. They thought they should look through the bags. They looked in them and two was filled with hair and two filled with even more razors. Sally always saw her grandparents buying razors but she just thought that they broke them and needed new ones. They decided to go back home because that was enough scare for tonight. They didn’t sleep well that night but when they woke up they felt slobber all over their beds and couldn’t see anything. The heard a big loud roar and then blacked out. After they woke up they asked Sally’s grandparents what the loud noise was and she said that they didn’t hear anything. Sally and Molly were confused and thought it was possibly a dream. Sally’s grandparents seemed very very suspicious that morning but sally and Molly didn’t think anything of it and just went to school. It’s Friday so they did fun stuff in school today. Molly wanted to come back over to the farm so they could figure this out once and for all. After school they went to the farm and started planning their idea. They are going to tell Sally’s grandparents that they are going to pick all the apples for them and then they are gonna see if there is hair in them or if it was a dream. Later that day sally told her grandparents that they are going out to the trees to pick apples. Sally’s grandparents eat so many apples a day. They said that it gives them a bunch of nutrients but it won’t give kids nutrients. Molly said that she loved apples and she asked if she could have one. Grandpa and grandma yelled at the top and their lungs and said that Molly could not have an apple so matter what. Molly was so confused. They both went out to the trees and picked the apples. It was still light during this time so they picked all the apples and then went over to the barn. They saw the trash bags from last night but this time they had chicken feed in them. They were both wondering if they should ask grandma and grandpa about the barn. Sally’s grandparents only had two rules in their house. Rule number one was stay out of their room and rule number two was to stay out of the barn at all time no matter what anyone does, sees, or hears. They both decided that they should go into the barn without asking. When they got into the barn they saw hair and flies everywhere. Molly and Sally decided they needed masks because it smelt so bad so they went to the store to buy some. When they got back from the store they went inside. The grandparents asked where the apples were and sally ran out to the trees to get them. Molly was so scared when she was alone with them. Sally brought the apples back and then Molly and Sally went over to the barn. They put the masks on and then went inside. They could still smell some stench coming into the mask. They saw a closest and went close to it. The closer they got to it the more the stench became clearer on what it was. Sally and Molly locked at each other and thought of the same thing. They both thought that there was a body in there. They opened the closet and a bunch of bodies fell out. There was all of the neighbors that had gone missing and even the little boy she had a play date with last month. Molly thought she was next on the list so she ran and sally followed her. When they got by the door they saw another closet that was shaking. They went over to it and a couple of werewolf suits started running to the house. They were so shocked that they couldn’t move. Molly passed out so sally snapped out of the trance and helped her. They both were ok and now they were running forward the house. Sally and Molly ran through the door and got hurt. She both got cut so bad they were gonna need stitches. They both got up and looked for Sally’s grandparents. The found them in the kitchen with the suits on. Grandpa and grandma took off their suits and explained what was happening. They said that when there was a full moon they couldn’t control the werewolves that would get onto their skin. When there was any other moon than a full move then they could control the skins. They said that the werewolves made them eat people and put the people and some hair in the apples. Molly and Sally came up with an idea. They took the skins away to a field that was 106 miles away and then buried them. They went back to the house and one month later they felt safer because the skins hadn’t came back yet. They were watching the news two years later and the news said that there was a citing of two werewolves 80 miles from where they lived. The grandparents thought that they took over some other people but it turns out that they were killing grandma and grandpas relatives. Everyone was now dead in the family except Sally and the grandparents. When Molly heard about this she unfriended Sally and ran away to a different state. Two years later and they were still living in fear. One day they were all watching the news again and the news said that they caught the werewolves that were killing people and put them to death. Everyone felt relieved and they finally had a peaceful sleep. It’s now a couple years later and everyone is still safe. 20 years later and all of them are dead now. They all died peacefully in their sleep from an old age. The End.
