Blood Of Fear - Part 1

It was a windy, snowy evening. No one was at home. Suddenly there was a loud noise. THUD!

"Oops! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton. I am the publisher of the Rodents Gazette.. Thea?" I went out and saw that she had broken a pipe while she was painting the roof. "Thea is the correspondent of the Rodents Gazette and she is my sister." Trap was laughing at her. Trap is my obnoxious cousin. I went to check on Thea. She had broken her arm. I shouted at my cousin, "Why can't you check on her instead of laughing at her?"

We took her to the hospital. The doctor said that the arm would be better in a few days if she had a lot of rest. When we came back home her hand was bandaged and we could see a red spot of blood.

Trap and I went out to fix the pipe. That's when our faces turned pale. We saw that the blood which had spilled from Thea's hands earlier had still not frozen. My heart ran down from the chest. My lungs were in my brain and I was in panic. Blood which has not yet frozen? We decided not to pay attention to it and started fixing the pipe.

After fixing the pipe, we had a nice cup of coffee at the fire place. Five minutes after coffee time the fire went out, we had no idea why. I shivered under my fur. First, blood that does not freeze, then fire going out when there is no air. We were all scared. So went to another room. We decided to take a nap.

Trap had fallen off to sleep but Thea and I did not. We were looking at the door. Suddenly the door creaked open. I took a bat while Thea took a stick. The door creaked more. Then we saw a shadow. It was my sweet nephew, Benjamin. He had just come from his snowboard class. He used to come very late after snowboarding. All of us went to sleep.
