Space Song

✰

A chilly breeze wisped through the trees as you lagged behind the group of four. It was currently the night of Halloween and obviously, you guys were costumes. They four boys urged you to keep up with their pace, but you costume kept getting caught in bushes and you had to keep swatting mosquitoes away from your face.

"Guys, we should go back!" you called as you struggled to take the fabric from your costume away from a twig. Despite how cold it was, beads of sweat formed on your face which caused the blue make up on your face to smudge.

"Nah! We're good!" The boys steps quickened and their voices became quieter. You groaned in agitation and grabbed the twig from the ground and pulled it with your bare hands. The thorns on the wood stabbed your right hand and you threw it to the side with a hiss. You looked at your red hand and saw dots of blood start to form from where the thorns were.

You wiped the blood on the grey-ish brides dress and started to jog to the boys, "Guys!? Jamie!? Matt, Nick, Alex!? Our parents are going to beat our asses!"

You made it to a clearing and looked at every direction and tried to find any clues as to where they might have went. "Guys, this isn't funny!" The only source of light was the light from the full moon.

In the corner of your vision, you saw movement in the tall grass. You turned your head instantly and slowly back away. "Nick?"

A small bunny slowly came out of the bush and searched the ground for food. You opened your mouth in a shocked expression and slowly came towards the small creature. "Hey, come here." You went down on your knees, the dirt getting on the costume and urged the bunny to come closer to you.

The bunny came closer with its little hops and stared at your hands. Just as you were about to pet it, a howl came from a distance. The innocent creature became scared and quickly hid back into the bushes, not bothering to look back at you. "Hey!" You yelled at the bunny as it left you alone with a possible predator.

You shakily stood up and turned slowly in a circle to inspect your surroundings. In a hushed whisper, you called out for the boys, "Matt? Guys? You can stop now."

Behind you, the sound of grass moving came and went quickly. You turned around and saw the grass sway from the prior movements. Another howl came from the left side of you. At this point, you actually thought you were going to die. You tried your best to not let the tears fall from your eyes and breathed in and out to calm your nerves.

In the grass, there were three creatures in there. You saw in different places the plants sway in different directions and heard leaves crunch whenever it moved. The swaying stopped and so did everything, even the crickets stopped their noise. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of your breathing.

"RAHHH!"

You were frightened at the noise and feeling of hands placed tight of your shoulders. You let out a scared noise and fell on the floor as you turned around and tried to run away. Immediately, you heard the laughs of your friends and covered your face in fright and embarrassment.

"God, you should've seen your face!" You peeked through fingers and saw Alex hunched over from laughing. So he was the one that scared you.

Matt came next to him, laughing, if not even more and patted him on his back. Behind you, Jamie and Nick came from the grass and were laughing, but a little less than the two in front of you. Matt was spewing nonsense about the scene which only caused Alex and Jamie to laugh more. Nick kneeled down next to you and tried to pull you back up, but you declined. Occasionally, he would turn his head to the side to laugh so you wouldn't feel bad.
