Fantasy Fiction Friendship

Wandering through the graveyard ,it felt like something was watching us.The eyes through the tall trees; yellow eyes like the light from the lamp.

It was on October 31st, the day that people all over America celebrated Halloween. Juliet and I were all set up In our new Halloween attire.

Juliet appeared in my room;which made my heart fall down onto the ground. I couldn't stop screaming over and over;Juliet had this attire of a zombie - it looked so scary.

"C 'mon Sandra,it's me,"Juliet said as she removed the costume from her head.The roof shook like an earthquake from Juliets' laughter - ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

I kept on staring at Juliet at one point I felt to jump and scratch her like a wild cat;throwing pillows all over her -

"You scared me."

Each baskets on our hands; moving from one house to another.

I can't believe, in my baskets there are two sweets and am so tired, "said Juliet.

"Me too-

Passing nearby a cold, quiet cemetery; my hands all wrapped around Juliets' arms.

"Let's have a rest here,"Juliet said

Nó! No! B-but Juliet don't you see this place is so quiet and scary - leaning close to Juliets' ears,whispering -"there are graves.

Juliet stood with her hands wide open screaming on top of her voice;her echo could be heard from a far distance.

"Juliet! what're you doing?Juliet held my hands, "you see, there is nothing to be afraid of.

A light like a star twinkled;catching hold of our eyes. Juliet pointed towards the light -

"Look over there-

Juliet couldn't resist the light;moving closer and closer. I kept on pulling her back;but the force in her was too strong for me.

"Juliet! Juliet -

Juliet turned forcefully -"what! are you scared of zombies? Juliet made fun of me.The small dark house stood right in the middle of the cemetery. Peeping through the house; Juliet wasn't afraid at all.moving in and never came out.

Juliet!Juliet! This isn't funny at all-

I called out to Juliet, but,there was no respond as I slowly took my step close to the house.Electricution in my legs was so unbearable as sweat dripped all over my garment.

Hello - hello- are you there Juliet?

The bushes around the cemetery kept on moving;fear got hold of my heart so tightly that heavy breathe could be heard like a drum;dropping my basket down from my hand.

A crying of a werewolf could be heard;footsteps from the bushes -

Juliet! Stop all this-

A zombie appeared from the bush;tapping my back- "oh, there you're Juliet -you scared me.

The zombie continued staring at me without blinking it's eyes.I noticed something weird with the hairy arm;holding myself so tightly, shivering from the cold.

"Juliet,why are you not talking?

The zombie groaned in a loud voice over my face;the breathe from the zombie blowing off my hair.Oh! No- that wasn't Juliet my friend but - but -

It's a zombie -ruun

I took off in my heels;everywhere were surrounded by the zombies.

Help! help!

I fell onto the ground; my legs trapped between rocks. Oh! God -

I tried to release myself from the rocks; my knees all covered up with blood. The zombies were fast approaching; removing my shoes and leaving it there.

A man happened to pass near the cemetery; running towards him,falling on his feet -

"Z - zombies -

The man couldn't understand what I was saying; my voice kept on breaking up.

"What? ,"the man asked.

The man's head fell onto the ground rolling to a stop near my foot;the zombie had chopped off the man's head -

Aaaaaaaaaa!

I screamed my eyes filled up with tears as fear gripped my throat; running away from the zombies. I managed to reach In town;the city all quiet, the streets filled with horrible zombies. Blood splitted in every corner of the streets.

"I have to be very careful not be seen by the zombies -

Cracking sound was heard; a branch under my feet. The zombies turned their attention towards my direction; blood dripping from their mouths as they walked towards me.

"Oh! No -

There was no place to run;surrounded by zombies as I helplessly sat down on a bare ground, tears from my eyes like river Nzoia.I knew it was the end of the road for me;hairy hands with sharp claws reached to get hold of me as I screamed -

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Waking up seated at the bench near the cemetery; Juliet sat right beside me.I jumped off the bench in great fear -

"Are you okay Sandra? Juliet asked

"Get away from me,"I shouted at Juliet

Juliet got so scared thinking there was something behind her;but only a strong breeze that kept on blowing through her ears.

"You're a zombie -

Juliet got more confused; looking towards me-"what are you talking about?

I nodded my head,walking in circle;all worked up-

No! No! I rubbed my head

Juliet smiled at me and said,"c'mon Sandra it was nothing but only a dream. I couldn't buy the excuse; Juliet putting her arms around my shoulders as we walked away. The sharp claw on Juliets' hand;she turned back as her eyes had turned into yellow like a cat,smiling -

The zombies are back -

The kept on moving;my heart all filled up with fear -it was around 2 am that we barely noticed the all night that we spend at the cemetery. Where there is smoke there is fire; the story about the cemetery was true.The cemetery all covered up with white fog -

"what was that?

A shadow passed before us; as we could see shinny eyes staring at us from the woods. The cemetery keeper man approached us-

"what are you doing here this late hour? You girls shouldn't be here it's risky,"the cemetery keeper said.

booom! Booom!

We didn't know where that knock came from - the knock came from the graves;this horrible creatures came from the graves.Juliet was no where to be seen; running away as I held my cross and killing them.The sun had come out;the zombies were burning into ashes and covered by the soil.

My friend Juliet had become a zombie; till today,she appears at night to suck blood.
