Night in the cemetery

The courtyard 2:15...

Heavy practically screamed as Al walked out "you're here! Ghost time!" Heavy grinned broadly jumping up and down. Al laughed a bit "sure is." They smiled. Everyone gathered around them on a picnic table as they took stuff out of their messenger bag. "Now call me a hippie if you will but I did grab all of us a crystal and even if you don't believe in them they are really pretty." Al smiled "rose quartz for Lif, labradorite for Heavy, obsidian for Dee, and jasper for me." Al handed the crystals out each was in the shape of a moon or a star. "Now let's head down the rich person road eh?" Al chuckled Putting their bag across their shoulder and beginning to walk. Heavy wouldn't stop bouncing up and down giggling with excitement as they walked. Lif smiled picking up a leaf from the ground it was orange due to the autumn season she smiled nudging Dee's shoulder Dee blush a bit looking over she smiled and handed him in "oh..thank you." he smiled a little confused but grateful, he put it in his pocket. Suddenly Al stopped dead in their tracks "were getting close" they stated Heavy looked curious "how can you tell?" he asked pretty much following Al around like a small dog Al smiled a bit "the feeling of regret after death and peaceful silence is strong here. That's a cemetery." Al explained fidgeting with their necklace. As they kept walking the feelings got stronger for everyone. Everyone could feel it especially when they walked past the only surviving building of the fires from two summers ago when it had been exhaustingly hot. A mansion with a bunch of windows made entirely of brick all the windows were boarded up. It used to be beautiful. The light inside the windows used to illuminate someone up in their room every night standing by the window. It used to be beautiful...to look at at least, what was actually waiting inside, provided no comfort or warmth. Now the word on the street was it was haunted especially because of the tragedies that had happened in and outside of the building. The local houses being set ablaze due to the heat and the construction, all that death created something in a place that couldn't help but make one feel uneasy. And of course just right across the street from it...'The Adams Cemetery'. Al walked up to the gates the lock had already been unlocked, the chain broken like they were being invited in. Al pressed their hand to one of the walls ''we come in respect we only want to enter to maybe have a conversation." they said before pushing the gates open. Heavy, Lif, and Dee walked in looking around Heavy's mouth hung open in amazement "you'd think you've never seen a cemetery." Al chuckled and Heavy laughed a bit. The group walked across the path all of a sudden they heard a sharp girlish yelp. They all turned around,it was Dee who had screamed and Al looked at him confused "what happened?" they asked Dee who could hardly speak, "I swear to you I saw something." He promised Al tilted their head "what did you see?" they asked, taking out a small notebook and pen. "It was all shadowy," Dee said, playing with his hair nervously. "Oh, it was probably just a shadow figure." Al explained brushing it off "I love how you say that like it's a normal thing." Dee replied Lif looked at him "Dee are you ok?" she asked kindly Dee, looked at her soft pink and nodded too shy to speak. Al took out a flashlight looking around in the dark "So what now?" Heavy asked. Al smiled "now we find a grave that draws our attention and we try to have a conversation." Al grinned excited Heavy pulled out his own flashlight and began looking around until he saw something that drew his attention it was a large gravestone with an angel on to "that one" he said sure of himself Al looked at it and focused taking a deep breath closing their eyes for a few second "hm. He said something along the lines of...'it's about damn time'" Al said "I'll take that as a yes!" Heavy smiled walking over reading the name on the stone "what does that say?" Heavy asked, unable to make out the words "what the Latin or the name?" Al asked bending down to read "both." Heavy replied Al read it focusing carefully "Gustav Schvagenbagen. Pfft, that's fun to say. And the Latin reads...Oh jeez that is very ominous." Al commented, Lif and Dee gathered by them as well "well what does it say?" Lif asked "It says...'te in somnis memoria mea' which means my memory will follow you into your dreams." Al read carefully, a chill ran down Heavy and Dee's spines. Heavy shook it off "well what are you getting from here?" he asked, Al took a deep breath "A lot of regret. A lot of it. Jealousy. Confusion. Almost like it's hazy." they said suddenly they were able to see someone. A man, he was thin and blonde with blue eyes, his expression was one of disappointment. "Can you see anything?" Lif asked Al nodded "it's strange...he looks similar to Dee and Heavy's dad." Al said what happened next shocked them. The man's eyes began to fill with tears. Al's eyes widened in realization "your dad never talks about his father does he?" they asked Dee and Heavy both looked at each other in shock "no never he never does." Dee replied then the whole story hit Al like a wave "oh" they gasped in shock "they looked at the man. Can you...are you able to pass on?" They asked, cautious of their tone. Heavy gaped in shock "what's he saying? What's he saying?" Heavy insisted Al shook their head "he can't move on, his guilt is so heavy it chains him to our realm" Al explained. Dee looked shocked and drained Lif took notice and put an arm around him patting his back. Al thought and thought hard. No matter how bad he had been in real life all souls deserved to move on...well if what they were gonna say was true it would work. "Gustav. Your son...he forgives you" Al smiled a bit Gustav looked at them finally tears flowed from his eyes and within a few seconds just as quickly as he had appeared...he was gone. Heavy, Dee, and Lif looked at Al worriedly "Al are you okay?" Heavy asked Al turned to the group and smiled nodding before passing out.
