Scary Story

The Piano

Ellen loved to play piano, it was the only thing she did. Ellen was a 7 year old girl with blonde hair and glasses. She lived with her parents Maria and Steven, in a big old house. She had a very big room with a big bed with red pillows and a red cover, a tree coloured big closet, a big window, a big mirror and a black old piano. Ellen always played the same song every day, over and over again, ”My ring”. Each evening the parents went into her room and listened to Ellen when she played the piano, and just when she would start over her parents coughed and said that she should go and brush her teeth and then go to sleep.

The days were all the same, but one evening when the parents went to her room they  didn’t found her playing the piano, they found her sleeping. They knew something was wrong and in the morning when they ate breakfast the parents asked why she didn’t play yesterday, she just said ”I didn’t want to”. The parents looked surprised, but then they just kept on eating. 

This continued for a month, the parents started to worry, they knew something was wrong, so when Ellen had brushed her teeth, Maria followed Ellen up to her room and when Ellen had went to bed Maria asked if it was something wrong with the piano, she just shook her head and asked ”Why?”.

• I just know that something is wrong, you haven’t played the piano for a month now, just tell, me what’s wrong? Asked Maria and smiled.
• Okey, some times when I’m finished playing ”The ring”, the piano starts to play for itself.
• What are you talking about? asked Maria.
• It’s as if the piano has its own life.

Maria got a little bit scared, but she just ignored it and said that ghosts and stuff like that doesn’t exist and kissed her good night.

In the morning Maria walked up to Ellens room and found her dead on her bed, Maria got scared stiff and then after a few seconds she started to scream. Steven heard her but then the screaming just stopped, Steven ran up to Ellens room and found her and Maria dead, he started to shake like a leaf and he slowly started to walk backwards. When he reached the stairs he started to run and called the police as fast as he could. When the police had arrived they searched through the house but they didn’t find anyone or something that could have killed them.

10 years later Steven found a knife inside the piano, he called the police and they found fingerprints on the knife that belongs to a man who lived in the same house but 100 years ago, Steven looked shocked, but then he just said ”I have to go to work”. He opened the front door, walked out, got in to the car and just drove away. Steven died in a car accident 10 minutes later.
