Chapter Four - Terron

Today was just a usual day for Terron. He never would've thought it would be his last. Terron rummaged through his drawers until he could find a clean shirt, and slipped it on over his brown hair.

He glanced over at the clock. "7:15." He said to himself, as he rushed out the door heading for the beach. Some of his friends and him were throwing a beach party. Even if some parts were stereotypical.

"Well, I'm here!" Terron yelled, as some of his friends patted him on the back.

Behind his friends, there was a woman. Standing in the shadows with charms rapped around her waist with gray hair.

"What are you looking at?" Said Riley, one of Terron's friends.

"Nothing. Hey do you know who that is?" Terron asked, as he pointed at the woman.

"Never seen her in my life. She is creepy though."

"You can say that again."

"Hey we should get back to the party. People are going to start missing you!" Riley and Terron turned their backs to the woman, but they were still looking at her in the corner of their eye.

Terron walked over to a massive table covered with cans of soda and chips. He grabbed a coke and popped it open. "Terron." Said Josh, another friend. Terron choked for a minute on his drink for Josh caught him by surprise.

"What?" Terron asked,

"Well, we decided that we wanted to bury someone in the sand, you know. For old time's sake." Said Josh.

"We already have the hole ready, we just need to put someone in it." Said Riley starting to approach Terron as well.

"Who did you pick?" Said Terron Ignoring the obvious.

Josh and Riley smiled. They tackled Terron and brought him over to the pit they had dug and pushed him in.

"Ha Ha very funny guys." Terron said sarcastically as his friends started filling in the pit. When Riley and Josh were almost finished filling up the large ditch when a bony hand reached out and grabbed Terron's leg.

"SOMETHING'S GOT IT'S HAND ON MY LEG." Terron stated seriously with a scared expression painted on his face.

"Yeah right." Josh said giving Terron a glimpse that he wasn't believing him.

Then out of the blue that hand pulled Terron underneath the ground.

Josh started calling 9-1-1 and Riley turned around and saw that woman with gray hair again but this time, she had a smile on her face.
