Katie walked towards the large wooden bridge in her backyard and stopped. She kicked a pebble and watched it skid into the river. She continued walking, over the bridge and into the woods. The woods around her were full of life and noises, but Katie was empty. She stopped in front of a headstone. Was it there before? She couldn't remember. Everything went silent. Like the woods finally decided to shut up. Katie sat down next to the grave and payed her respects, even though she didn't know who was buried there.
Katie started to get up to study as she felt a chill up her spine.
"What the-" She started. A WHOOSH interrupted her.
She stared blankly at she headstone as a shadowy figure arouse.
"Ahh, It's good to be back!" The figure said. Katie kept staring as the figure turned to meet her.
"Oh, hello! It's nice to meet you! I'm Nate!" He said as he shook Katie's hand.
There was an awkward silence.
"Aren't you scared of me?" Nate asked. Katie shook her head and walked away.
"Hey! Come back here! I'll see you next time! I guess-" Nate waved.
