My short story

It was a cold, dark night. Tom and Mary had been driving to the castle for about five hours. The wind was howling and in the distance they could hear the cry of wolves in the forest. Suddenly the car came to a stop. It had broken down. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. After a while, Tom decided to go look for some help and so Mary was left in the car. Alone. It started to rain and Tom had nothing to keep himself dry, but he kept running until he saw a wooden shelter. The shelter turned out to be an old garage with a lot of old cars and stuff. The wind was blowing through the wood and everything was covered with a large layer of dust. Suddenly there was a hard noise. Even though Tom could barely see something, he knew he had pushed something down. Unfortunately it was an empty rusted bucket. But Tom actually had some luck, because next to the bucket was a tank full of petrol. He grabbed the tank, but because of it's weight he couldn't lift it and he had to roll it. When Tom had finally reached the car with the full tank. He began to fill the reservoir with the petrol and he looked to Mary in the car. Surprisingly he looked into an empty car, because Mary was nowhere to be seen. Tom was shocked and in a reflex he began to scream, but of course Mary didn't reply. He was frightened and after he had filled the reservoir, he started to look for Mary. He looked everywhere but there was no sign of Mary. Tom was scared to death and after some hours of searching he returned to the car. He decided to drive to the castle to see if there would be anyone of help. The castle was surprisingly close to the place of the breakdown of the car. He knocked on the heavy doors and an old man opened the doors. But behind the man Tom saw Mary! He ran past the man and flew Mary into her arms. Apparently Mary had also searched for some help and arrived at the castle. She had decided to stay to hide for the weather. Even though she said she had left a note into the car, she was extremely happy to see Tom again.
