The Deenashee Volume One: The Dearg Due

Chapter 3: Graveyard Shift

Arthur's blood ran cold when he heard the sickly sweet voice, he was so shocked that he dropped the book he was reading. It was the same from his nightmare. This made him drop everything he was doing and rush to the window looking out towards the town.

There it was, the graveyard just down the road. He even saw the fog rolling in and the bats fluttering around. He then heard a door burst open outside his room and rushed over to the door and peaked his head out. Just as he opened the door he saw a young man with curly ginger hair that covered his eyes, running down the hallway and stumbling every now and then.

"H-Hey wait!" Arthur yelled and chased after the man. He knew that if that man made it to the graveyard, that he would probably never come back.

"N-Not now! That's a Dearg Due!" He yelled back while glancing over his shoulder.

"A what?!"

Casey looked up from giving Gadget a few little goldfish. She could hear the sound of two people yelling and running down the hallway. "Wait here Gadget," she spoke while closing up the lizard's tank. She then walked out of her room to see what was going on only to walk right into the ginger-haired who was running.

"Sorry sorry! I didn't see you!" He stuttered out while stumbling to his feet. Before he can get up though, another man who had black and brown hair as well as brown and blue eyes.

"You aren't going to the graveyard!" He yelled while holding the ginger man back.

"No! She only rises for one week a year! I gotta see if it's real or not!" He yelled back.

"Stop yelling!" Casey yelled, easily silencing the two males. "Now one, who are you two, and two what are you going on about?" She demanded crossing her arms.

"I-I'm Gabriel, but I'm called Gabe," the ginger-haired man said.

"I'm Arthur, I don't really got a nickname though," The brown and black haired man said.

"I'm Casey, it's nice to meet you besides the fact your running around a hotel in the middle of the night. Why are you doing that anyway?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

"This guy heard some creepy singing outside and wants to see who or what it is," Arthur explained.

"I know what's singing! It's a Dearg Due!" Gabe retorted while he tried in vain to escape Arthur's hold.

"The Dearg Due? That's nothing but a fairytale," Casey dismissed before adding "But I do wanna know who sings in the middle of the night," and that got a smile from Gabe.

"I'm I the only one here with common sense or are you two from a cheesy horror movie?" Arthur frowned.

"Coming from someone who looks like their the main character of an anime," Casey smirked "Worst case scenario, it's just some crazy person. Plus it couldn't hurt to sneak a peek,"

Arthur sighed in defeat, if these two were determined to get themselves killed tonight, might as well go along to make sure they don't do anything stupid. "Fine fine, you guys are gonna get yourselves killed," he sighed while letting go of Gabe who nearly fell over.
