Little House: Chapter 3

Aimy felt better, Pietre went in search of a place where they could take rest. It was then that they came across the beautiful sight, a small house filled with lights. They felt so happy, and started running to the house throwing away all the fear they had. Only when they came near the house Pietre realized that they had to exercise caution and stopped her frantic footsteps. "What happened Pietre?!, come on let us get inside the house, it's getting cold here and I can hear wolves howling...I don’t like the sound of it..gives me creeps!!". " Yes we will go inside, but we need to be careful Aimy, we don’t know who is in the house, you wait here I will go near and have a look from outside" whispered Pietre.

As Pietre went near the house, she noticed a window open. She went near the window and slowly peeped inside, she could see a huge table loaded with dishes of fried chicken, turkey, spinach sandwiches, boiled potatoes and fruit salads. Aimy came near Pietre and at once forced her to get inside the house, "Pietre , come on let's go inside...I’m so hungry and the dishes are tempting...please do not hesitate...come on Pietre..come on in"...after a moment's hesitation Pietre went inside along with her younger sister and they both feasted upon the dishes. Hunger vanished their fears. After completing their dinner they found a cozy fireplace with small cots beside. They made themselves comfortable and were soon asleep.

Thud...thud...thud...Pietre woke up to the sound of heavy footsteps underground...Thud..thud...thud..the sound grew higher in volume and the footsteps seemed to be coming up. Pietre sensed danger, she shook Aimy awake. "Aimy , get up, we need to leave this place immediately"...

"I’m so tired ...I don’t want to go". "Aimy listen to me I can hear some footsteps coming up...and the sooner we leave the better". "Alright , let us go..." They started hurrying towards the main door, the footsteps grew louder, it appeared like there were nearly a dozen people.
