Dare

Ruben sighed as he flashed his torch around.

His friends had dare him to go to the 'haunted' cemertery. He just had to wait until the 'devil's hour'.

He wasokay with it orginally, because he didn't believe in any of the supernatural crap... Now... Being in the dark, creepy burial grounds with only the gravestones and the occassionaly tomb for company... It was starting to creep him out... It had only been two hours after midnight and he was about to call off the dare and run out!

Every slight movement or rustle of the leave made him jump! Then... A voice started to whisper to him... At first he tried to ignore it, thinking it was just the wind... But... He wasn't so sure...

"Why are you here?" It echoed again.

"I-I'm he-here be-because of a-a dare..." He managed to say out, flashing his torch like a madman, just to find the person who was talking to him. 

"You are scared..." It observed, clearly confused. "Why do you stay?" The voice echoed once more, floating away some...

"B-Because I'm suppose to be here until the devil's hour..." Ruben was confused, still looking for the source of the voice. 

"Then..." It paused as if thinking... "Start your running, child! The demons are coming!" It suddenly screeched, it's voice bouncing like a ball off of the stones. 

Screams were heard for miles around, stopping just as suddenly as they had started...
