Here's my story. I'll probably add more later, but if I don't get around to it, I'll submit this. :) ---------------------- It wasn’t until I realized that I was being followed that I actually began to slow down. The noise stopped as I did, but I could here a low breathing sound not far behind. I began to walk a little faster then, almost out of the grave yard when I felt a knife being pressed to my throat, and I froze. I black figure appeared in front of me, wearing a cape of black cloth, which was torn at the bottom. I could not see the face. It started to whisper something, which sent a shiver down my back. “You must awake the dead for me…” to said, “or you shall join them.” Something snapped in my head, and I screamed. The creature before me hissed, and drew the knife up. I knew I was now going to dye, and I closed by eyes, and my hands came up to protect myself, but the blow never came. A loud screeching noise from the other side of the grave yard. I opened my eyes to see the creature before me hiss, creating a noise I had never thought was possible to make. The creature turned it’s head for a moment, and then fled into the middle of the graveyard, lay down one of the stones, and sunk down into the ground. I stood there, frozen, and then looked up to see someone approaching. “Oh no…” I whispered. “Not again.” Then as if a bolt of lightning had struck me, I started running. Running as fast as I could towards the exit – or was it the entrance? I didn’t know. Only one thing was in my head. Run. I ran all the way back to my house and slammed the door behind be, panting, and slid onto the floor. I was shaking all over, and then tears started spilling my face. I wiped the hair out of my eyes, and walked up the stars to my room. There I laid on my bed and tried to push the memory to the back of my head, but it just kept coming forward. I cried a little more, and got up and when out the kitchen to make myself some coffee. No one was home, because my whole family had gone to the Halloween party just down the street, and – I looked up, remembering. Why hadn’t the door been locked? My mom always locked the door after going out. Was someone in here? Maybe my little brother had forgotten his costume. Yes, that was it, after all, if he had come in he would have turned on the light, and the lights were on when I came in. I yelled, “Jerem –” And then a hand clasped over my mouth, and I heard a soft breathing sound from behind me. I made a noise, but the hand only tightened it’s grip. “Be still…” a voice said. No! It was of course the ghost from the grave yard. It had probably followed me back to my house! Everything went black, but not until after my head hit the floor with a thud.

I believe ...... Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I believe....... That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. I believe. Do you? | |
