they 1 when Mary suggested having a short break. She
gave the others some sandwiches she 2
had been having the first warm meal. . Everyone
agreed they needed to find a suitable place to spend the night and after a couple of minutes they set out again. Going down the slope, they noticed a lonely cottage on the edge of the forest. John knocked on the heavy, wooden door, but there was no answer. Then he pushed it open. The door opened noiselessly and they
went inside. The interior looked messy, as if no one
had lived for ages
but offered much more than they 4 . There was a table
with two chairs, a small fireplace and a huge mirror that took up the whole wall. There wasn't a bed, but the wooden floor was better in any event than the wet and cold forest ground. They quickly made themselves as comfortable as it was possible. Paul
lit a fire, which was very easy because someone
had piled up some wood nextto the fireplace. After they
had beem walking for some time that day, everybody settleddown for a rest. Exhausted and weary, they quickly fell asleep. However, they were all awakened in the middle of the night by an unpleasant scratching sound. Helen told them that she
had been listening to it for some time but was too scared to go and check it out. Peter andGeorge decided to see what was going on. But as soon as they put on the torches, Mary screamed. She pointed at the mirror.
When they all looked at it, they realised what
had given such a fright . They
could see a reflection of themselves in the mirror, but of nothing else. It looked as if they were standing in the rniddle of nothing. When the girls stopped screaming, they quickly grabbed their things to leave the house immediately but the heavy, wooden door wouldn't open. Scared to death, they decided to keep their torches on and stay awake till dawn. It wasnt long before they all felt oddly lethargic and fell into a heavy, dreamless sleep. When they woke up, it must have been around midday as the sun was shining straight above them. They looked around and saw they
had been sleeping on the ground , with all their things arranged in the same way as in the
house. Later that day, when they finally reached a village and told
the people about the cottage, they were told that this cottage
had been a local curse for decades.
