We never did go for a drive. I never did see his face either.
I only saw darkness as I felt my body flop to the side.
And when I woke up, I was in a tight space. All that was laying on my chest was my phone, and a note.
I picked up the note first and read it;
Briar Rose, You thought that you would be able to uncover me so quickly, but you thought wrong. You are now inside a coffin, buried underground at the cemetry round the corner from you. I even had you buried with your parents - how kind am I - and you have possibly a few hours or less now - all depending on when you wake up - to get out, or else, well, you know the outcome. Good luck, and I expect to see you again soon, Love. Shadow man, x.
"I'm in a bloody coffin" I muttered. Then my eyes widened. I moved about a little and I felt uncomfortable. I turned my head and saw two nearly unrecognisable bodies. My parents. I had my parents buried together in a larger coffin. I wanted them to always be together.
"Oh my god!" I screamed. I screamed and cried. This is cruel. It's practically torture, being buried with your parents. Dead decomposing parents.
I rang Luke quickly, sobbing loudly. He picked up on the second ring. "Fuck! Where are you, Briar?!"
"She's crying! Briar, sweetheart, where are you?!" I heard Dylan yell in the background.
"Luke! Y-You need to come ge-get me!" I squeezed my eyes closed tight as sobs racked my body. My cries got louder.
"Where are you, baby, c'mon baby, tell me" He begged me.
"I-I'm with my p-parents" I whispered.
"But theyre d- No. Fuck! I'll be right there, baby. You stay on the phone with me okay?" He spoke quickly, I heard rattling and things falling.
I was scared. Terrified. Who would do this to someone.
"Yeah. Please hurry" My voice cracked loudly.
"Guys grab shovels and get in the car, fuck, hurry up" Luke yelled to everyone.
"Where is she?!" Charlie asked loudly in the background.
"Buried with her parents" Luke hissed venomously. "We're heading now, baby, are you feeling okay?" He asked me.
I heard the car engine roar to life, and skidding down the road. "I feel okay" I sobbed. "I need out of here, Luke. Please" I begged, tears poured from me.
My body racked in fear of my parents right at my side.
"We're at the cemetry, where are you?"
"Dylan knows, he'll show you" I cried, wiping the tears away, yet they kept pouring out.
"Dylan! Which one?!" Luke asked rushingly.
"Follow me!" He yelled, and I heard everyones feet hitting the ground through the phone as they ran.
"We're right above you, babe, stay calm, we'll have you out soon" Luke spoke, trying to keep me calm.
"I could die here" I choked out. "The air is starting to get thin, Luke" I told him quietly.
Minutes passed into ten minutes and the air kept getting the slightest bit thinner as each few minutes passed.
I could dimly hear their shovels digging roughly into the ground above me, and I gasped. "I can hear you! You're almost there!" I yelled loudly.
"We hear you too, babe, hold on" Luke murmured.
Then a few minutes later, a shovel hit the coffin and I let out a gasp of relief.
