- Y/NS POV -
John B is driving us to a mystery place, once again. We are all sitting in the Twinkie. John B and I are in the front. Pope and JJ are in the back seat, and Kiara is on the floor.
"You mind if I just relax on this one?" JJ questions, holding his joint in his hands. "It's been a long day, and a lot of weird stuff's gone down. I'm just gonna lay low. Oh, did you want a hint of this?"
JJ reaches his arm out to Pope, holding the cigarette near his face.
"I keep the signal clear." Pope replies, holding his hand in front of the joint.
"Dude, okay. Do you understand that your problem is that you don't get creative?" JJ begins.
"I'll take that." I smirk, holding my hand out for the joint.
JJ chuckles lightly at my words before handing me the joint. I begin smoking out of it.
"Look, I know I was wrong about the lighthouse, all right? A-And pretty much wrong about everything else going on. But I..I was right about one thing. Okay? My dad is trying to tell me something." John B interrupts.
"So, where we going?" Kie asks.
"The Outer Banks graveyard." John B answers.
"What?" I exclaim. "Why are we going to a graveyard? At night?"
"Because we are. Trust me. There's gonna be something here." John B tells.
I look over to the others, all of them giving me the same unsure and nervous look.
After having a few more huffs of the joint, and playing and making shapes with the smoke, I finally hand it back to JJ when we arrive at the graveyard. The five of us get out of the car and climb over the gate, that leads inside the graveyard.
"Come on." John B whispers. "Hey, come on!"
"I'm coming!" Kie responds, a little stubborn.
"This place is scary." I comment. "John B, what are we doing?"
"Shh. Okay, so, you know how you're trying to remember a song and you can't remember who sings it?" John B questions.
"Yeah." Kie nods, wondering what this has to do with it.
"So, Redfield. This whole time, I thought it was a place, right? But it's not a place." John B continues. We follow him to a large cement tombstone that's covered in tree branches. John B holds up his light to the top of the grave to reveal the name 'Redfield' across it. "It's a person."
"Voi-effing-là!" JJ comments jokingly.
"See, my great-great grandmother, Olivia. Redfield. That was her maiden name." John B informs us. We stare at the tombstone for a moment, before looking down to all the branches in front of it. "Help me with the door. Come on."
"All right." Pope whispers.
Pope and John B step up to the door of the tombstone and begin pushing. They use all their strength to open it. They both argue with each other, about whether or not they're both pushing. Kiara and I watch from afar, laughing and rolling our eyes a little bit. JJ steps in between them and begins to help.
"Hold on. I got it." JJ speaks.
"This door is like 700 pounds, Man. It's not gonna budge." Pope states.
"We didn't come this far to get this far, all right? We got this." JJ adds.
Suddenly, loud hissing stops the boys from pushing and we all back away from the grave. A large snake comes out from a crack in the door.
"Whoa!" I shout.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Pope exclaims.
"That's a moccasin, all right. Ye olde Dr. Cottonmouth. Death in tall grass." JJ informs. Weirdly, JJ starts barking loudly at the snake that's moving past us.
"JJ, shut up!" I yell.
"You're gonna wake up the frickin' dead, Man!" Pope comments.
"Dude, they're afraid of dogs. Everyone knows that, Man." JJ states as he stays staring at the snake, making sure it's finally left.
John B walks back up to the tomb and is about to start pushing again, but JJ stops him.
"Wait, hold on." JJ stops John B.
"What?" John B asks.
"If there's one, there's probably dozens." JJ believes. "All around."
"Oh my god. Stop. JJ, you're scaring me." I tell.
JJ starts barking loudly, like a dog, at the snakes again.
"Stop barking at the snakes!" John B exclaims through his teeth, while pushing JJ back.
"Just making sure it's clear." JJ defends and holds his hands up.
"Shut up. John, look." Pop begins. "We're not gonna get in there, all right? It's not budging."
I walk away from them and make my way to the hole where the snake came out of. I hold my flashlight to it, to see how big it is.
"We should probably just go." Pope continues.
"I can get through." I butt in, not looking away from the large gap.
"What?" John B questions. "No, no, no. You think you're gonna fit through the hole? That hole?"
"Y/n, I agree with John B on this one. There's no way you're going in there! Please don't. It's not safe." JJ begs as he stares at me with worry in his eyes.
"Since when did you care about being safe? John B, look, this is about your dad. And honestly, I really don't believe in it, but you deserve to know the truth." I respond. "I'll do it. Come on."
I walk closer to the grave and start pulling the branches off. All the boys and Kiara walk up and start helping me with it. Pope, Kiara and John B hold the branches to the side.
"Giver her a boost." John B orders.
"All right, I'm gonna boost you." JJ states, bending down and leaning against the stone. "I've seen it in the movies several times. Ready?"
"Remind me what we're looking for." I say as I look back at John B.
"You'll know when you see it." John B answers with a serious nod.
"That's helpful." I mumble. "Okay. Hold my flashlight."
I hand my flashlight to Kiara before grabbing onto JJ's shoulders.
"All right. Yep, put your hands right there. Your foot, here. Good. Okay." JJ orders, helping me climb onto him. "Alright, on three. One, two, three."
I step up onto his hands and climb through the hole, struggling a little bit but it's not bad.
"Okay. I got it. All right." I speak loudly as I jump into the gap. Everything is pitch black, I can't see a thing. "Okay, flashlight?"
I turn around for a moment and grab my flashlight off the boys, now finally being able to see what's around me.
"You alive? You got, uh, a heartbeat and everything?" John B questions.
"Y/n, you okay?" JJ asks.
"So far." I answer.
I hold my flashlight tightly while looking all around me, making sure not to miss a thing.
"That's good." John B responds.
"Uh... I need some more light." I tell as I get towards the end of the hole.
"Yeah, yeah, here. Yeah, I gotcha." John B holds his lamp into the hole and everything gets way brighter.
I continue to walk through the tomb until I stop to something in front of me.
"Did you find something?" JJ asks. "Is there gold?"
"Oh, my god."
