Here's the second chapter of the Crook family-
Chapter 2
The hall
As the bell almost burst my eardrums, the gate creaked open by itself!! That’s so strange; everyone says that the gate opens for no one. I slipped inside; it was the first time I had seen the castle without bars spoiling the view. The castle looked so big! As I looked up again, I quickly counted 6 eyes staring like owls at me! Oh dear, who is that? Let that be, I knocked the second gate of the castle, this one seemed not too big, the size of a medium size elephant. This time too, the gate opened magically, I was feeling strange. Inside, was a polished hall? Marble floor, golden chandeliers, orange lamps in corners, two staircases from the sides, and bright vintage lights on the ceiling. It had it all. The hall had two doors on its side, as I walked to one of them, someone grabbed me from the back and muffled my mouth and put a black blanket on me. It was dark. My hands were clutched tightly behind my back. I was pushed along and forced on the staircase, as the staircase ended, a door creaked nearby, what I didn’t know was it was a trap door! A hole in the ground made me misstep only to be pulled harshly to make me stand, the hole in the ground was a trapdoor, another staircase, and this time downwards came into my path. I slipped so many times but the mysterious kidnapper just pulled hard which rubbed what seemed to be a rope into my skin. Finally, the staircase ended and my feet rested on solid ground with no gaps. The blanket was getting removed.
