Buried Secrets

"Come on! Don't be such a coward!" my best friend Ashlie screamed at Hannah.

"I'm too scared, Ashlie. I can't do it. I just can't." Hannah said her voice shaky.

"Fine. Then just come back down and I guess you're just not in the group." Ashlie yelled angrily.

Hannah took off her blindfold and carefully started to step down the long metal ladder of the water tower. She had stepped down about two steps when there was a loud ear-piercing scream. I looked around everywhere trying to figure out where it had come from.

"Allison.." Ashlie said worriedly.

She pointed to the top of the water tower where Hannah had just been standing. I gasped in disbelief. She was gone. I ran over towards the ladder and looked all around. There, lying next to a bush was Hannah, lifeless.

I screamed at the sight. I screamed louder than I had ever screamed before. Soon after my scream Ashlie appeared behind me. She dropped to her knees next Hannah, crying.

"Allison!" She started but not managing to get the rest of her words out because she was crying so hard.

"What have we done?!" She managed to finish but still broke down in tears.

I was still in so much shock that I wasn't crying. I just stared at Hannah's lifeless body lying on the ground.

'You have to think fast. You can't start crying, it will just be a bigger disaster than what it already is.' I thought to myself.

Ashlie got up off her knees and looked at me with tears streaming down her face.

"Ashlie, stop crying. What's crying going to do to fix this? Nothing! So stop! We have to call the police." I exclaimed.

"No. No way we're calling the police. Are you that stupid, Allison?" Ashlie said between sobs.

Once Ashlie had gotten herself together she just stood in one spot for a second in thought.

"Help me." she said.

"Help you with what?" I said confused.

"Come here." she said walking towards Hannah's head.

Ashlie grabbed a hold of each one of Hannah's hands.

"Don't just stand there! Get her feet!" Ashlie yelled.

I proceeded towards her feet, my whole body trembling in fear. I grabbed each of her feet. Ashlie led the way walking backwards towards a large rock. We carefully set her down next to it. Her limp arms and legs just fell onto the ground.

"Stay here and don't move. I'm going home to get us shovels." Ashlie said firmly.
