She asked her father to bring his chainsaw, but nothing happened. Her dad asked the Police, the Police used their guns but nothing seemed to happened. She then went to the pool to have some rest suddenly something screamed. She turned around to see who it was or what it.

Charlie then cuddled with Teddy the Teddy Bear as her teeth were shivering.”It’s going to be ok”, said Teddy,”I’m here.”Then Charlie, decided that she’s had enough. “I will deal with this I am a big girl now”, Charlie confidently said. Charlie then slept with annoyance of the sky rumbling.
