Title: Oak Alley Part Two
Laura was the youngest member of an old creole family that ahd moved her from france before she was born. You might wonder why Laura's room was the most famous room in the house. Or the most haunted? The story goes like this,one fateful May night in the summer of 1812 a young girl and her family had jsut retired to bed. Little did they know their lives were about to change dramatically. Laura awoke in the middle of the night because she heard the sound of gunshots nearby. Who could it be? and why so close? She probably wondered to herself. AS she went to get a closer look out the window she heard her mother from behind her whisper that they needed to get away from the house and to wake up her sister. So Laura went into her sisters room and told her to get up that her and their mom were going away. As they all climbed down the stairs the front door burst open and the men came into their house and started searching through drawers and cabinets madly. Her mother started to scream as the loud noise of the glass china cabinet went smashing to the floor a few feet in front of them. Her mother took them back up the stairs and out on to the balcony and told her older sister to run her and Laura out into the Bayou and stay there until someone came to get them. They never made it.
