Graveyard Ghosts

We closed the door behind us and walked towards the car as the blood red moon shone on us. A howl broke
the silence. Fear was creeping up on me. I looked beside me in the pitch-black night.


Footsteps. I could hear footsteps. Abbey was gone. I saw a faint shadow running towards the graveyard. I started running. Then I found myself sprinting like I’ve never sprinted before. I stopped. I had no choice but to go into the graveyard.

A scream. It pierced through the night. I followed it. I found Abbey standing in front of a plaque. “Oh, another one!” I heard a voice say excited.
I saw Abbey crying muttering the words ‘I want mum’. I turned and saw what looked like a boy floating in the air. He quickly landed.
“Don’t worry little girl, I’ll help you find your mum!” The boy exclaimed, “My name is Bill!”

The sun started to rise as Abbey fell asleep. She woke up and I looked at her.
“Are you feeling OK?” I asked, “You’re white!”
“No you’re white!”Abbey yelled.
We stood up slowly. Our feet sunk into the ground. I looked at my hand and saw right through it. We were...were GHOSTS!

A boy about my age walked past. I heard a shriek.
“What...what’s wrong?”I asked
“It’s just that...that you’re white!” The boy stuttered. “Walk up to that boy over there!” I walked up to the boy and mumbled the word ‘hello’. I put my foot down on his foot and it went straight through. I opened my mouth and reminded myself that no-body could hear me so I walked back to the boy.

“How come you can see me?” I asked
“I don’t know.” The boy replied
He took off his sunglasses and couldn’t see me. He put them back on and could see me again.
“Bingo!” he exclaimed, “It’s these sunglasses! By the way my name is James.”
“My name is Danielle.” I told him.


I hovered over to Abbey. James followed. We explained how we got here and how we were under Bill’s command but as soon as we said Bill, James stopped us from talking any longer.
“Did you say Bill?” James asked
“Yeah, why?” I asked
“Did he have freckles, was he about yay high?” James asked
“Yes and yes but why?” I asked in frustration
“I think he might be my cousin. He died ages ago.”He told me. We told James the rest of the story.
“I can help you!” James told us.

We saw someone walk by scurrying over to the graveyard. Suddenly he turned.
Go after him!” I yelled, “Go, go, go!”
I watched as James followed him. He turned the corner and followed after the boy in front of him. The boy turned around to face James.
“Can you stop following me?” the boy asked, “It’s really creepy!”

James was walking back to me when he saw another boy that looked like Bill. James ran after the boy. He stopped for a second and looked at the boy in front. James started backing away. I hovered over to James and started looking closely at the boy. I walked in front of the boy and realized that he wasn’t just a boy. He was half wolf half boy.

It was getting darker and darker by the second. The wolf boy was still walking around and James was still following him. They both stopped. It was 12:30pm and the moon shone bright. It was a full moon.

For five minutes all we could see was light and then...BILL!!!!!!!! Suddenly we saw that our arms and legs were turning human again. We weren’t ghosts anymore!!!!!

We ran straight out of the graveyard towards the car. I realized I should never have taken Abbey to work with me. I’m never stepping in the graveyard again. At least until I...DIE!!!!!
