At the Gates of the Graveyard

Chapter 4

I hear screams from behind me as more ghosts flood the graveyard wielding swords, knifes, axes, and crowbars. I run like my life depends on it because it does. I notice a large root that is coming from the tree to my left but don't have enough time to slow down.

I trip on the root, stumbling to get back up as I hear foot steps approach me from behind. The ghost slid over to me and held it's weapon above it's head. I scooted back slowly, terrified. This can't be how my life ends. Behind it I see the party guests dropping like flies. There were only about fifty people still alive and they were all either caught in a corner like me or running for their life.

"Ha ha ha," I hear a raspy voice say, "Guess you should of listened to those warnings of your "friends" and not come here. I'm glad you didn't listen to them though. Now I can have some fun with my friends. Being stuck underground is not fun you know. Well now you can see what I mean."

I slowly look over at the ghost that was talking to me. I whimpered in fear and scooted back towards the tree. He swung his axe and it hit the ground a centimeter from my leg. The ghost came over to me and grabbed me.

To say I was shocked was an understatement. I mean the ghost just literally grabbed me.

I screamed out in pain as it twisted my arm behind my back. I heard a sickening snap and I could no longer feel it.

"NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO DIE." The ghost roars as he did the same to my other arm. Tears slid from my eyes as I started to sob.

The ghost picks up the axe from the ground and clips it onto a belt. He pulls out a dagger and jabs it into my stomach.

Blacks spots creep into my vision as I start to pass out from blood loss. "Have fun dying kid." The same voice growls as I go unconscious. I feel the life slip from me and suddenly everything is gone.

3rd Person

The next morning the groundskeeper unlocked the gate and noticed all the bodies littered around. No one had escaped from the ghosts' wrath as they killed everyone in sight.

The horror stricken groundskeeper quickly called the police but to no avail. They searched the grounds and found no evidence of a killer. The bodies were then identified and returned to their families.

Most of the bodies looked like they were killed instantly and did not suffer at all while others suffered a lot. The body with the most damage and suffering was Amy's. The police suggested that there should be a big funeral for the families of all the high school students that were killed in this "freak accident" as some people believe it is.

The ghosts chuckle as they watch the grief-stricken families sob over the loss over their loved ones. They were becoming stronger. The more they killed, the stronger they get. Once the ghosts were strong enough they could escape from their prison and destroy the people who locked them there and they were reaching their goal.
