Dark night

DARK NIGHT

It was a dark night and the winds were blowing hard and I could hear it clearly through my ears hitting the eardrum and chills throughout my body and suddenly a loud noise as if a glass is shattered but it’s the sound of a thunder. I can hear the sound of some one walking and it’s coming closer closer closer and I can feel the sweat dripping from my forehead down through my nose bridge and I could see a shadow and the person is trying to attack me from behind. I take a deep breath and close my eyes so I can shout aloud from my epiglottis and scream so hard aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.i heard a familiar voice “Sarah what happen ?”

I open my eyes and look behind its my friend Jane and tears roll from my eyes and I hugged her tightly saying" why did it take so long? I got so scared Jane" and I was shivering as I thought I will now pee on my pants and faint off.

Jane replied “ Sarah I lost my path and I had to take a long route to reach the gate where my bracelet was there and why did u you come here and didn’t I tell you don’t go anywhere? . I was still in fear and blabbering iiiiiii wasss scared as it was so long u gone so came in search of you and hugged Jane again.

We were exactly at the York cemetery in Stafford and it was 12am .I and my friend Jane we decided to spend a night in the cemetery and it was a contest during Halloween season that if we stay whole night in a cemetery we would win 200dollars.Doesnt it sound crazy but we were so for the money we took this as a fun tour but it ended up as horror. It was 30th October 2012 and at 11pm we had to leave our house with our video camera on and recording it live till next morning 6 am . We left exactly at 11 and I was holding the camera and the cemetery was just 2 km away from our house lane. I and Jane left with all preparation for that night we had taken our torch with extra batteries, jacket and woollen cap as it was so cold and we could feel that it was going to rain so we took our umbrella , some snacks to munch and our mobile full charged so we could hear some music and some cigars from my dads jacket which he doesn’t know and we wanted to try it so badly from the time of our high school. Jane and I are friends from the age of 6 and know we are sweet 16 .We always be together and never left apart .

Let me comeback to our night of cemetery we reached the place and that’s when we both looked at each other and we said in our mind should we go back home? as Jane and I said to our parents that we are at each others house for a night sleep. Jane sighed off heavily and I could see the cold breeze from her lips moving out and said , “come on Sarah it’s just a night we both going to enjoy it".

I just nodded my head and headed off as she opened the gate and we could hear the sound of the jammed gate and recalled the horror movie but still we hold each others hand and moved on. My paternal grandmother was buried there 5 years ago so I could recollect her funeral Days and it’s scared me to my spine and I felt as if Iam growing weak but then I said why am I thinking so much as my catechism teacher said there are no such ghost or spirits its just your fear and overthinking and we should pray everyday to God for our protection .I started Our father prayer in soft husky voice and Jane said in low tone “Hey what are u saying” ?, I said “Nothing just wetting my lips as it’s cold and it’s cracked and was saying in my mind the prayer and widened my eyes as we were passing through the graves.

It was just a km we walked Jane shouted loudly “ Ooohh shit were is my bracelet I had worn it and I saw while opening the gate also were did it fall oh my god , my dad gave it on my 16th birthday and it’s very precious” and we turned on the torch and searched near us but couldn’t get it so Jane said “ Sarah u be here I will check back till the gate it might be near the gate when I opened it “.I insisted I will also come with her but she said it’s just a km,she will go quickly and come back and I wait here till she return. And she left me and ran with her torch on towards the gate. I just clasped my fingers tightly and waited for her and it was dark night with no rim of light anywhere it was past 5 min, 10 min she didn’t comeback the fear started to build in me and I started to get bad thoughts that whether any ghost attacked her or something happened to her and my pulse started to increase rapidly and I started to gasp and I tried her mobile it was coming our of coverage area so I was totally dead from inside and I felt Iam going to die now but then I decided to go back in search of her and run as fast as I can it was pitch dark night and torch in my hand and camera on other hand searching for the path and suddenly something stuck on my right foot I tumbled down and feel on my face on the ground I could smell the wet mud and it had stuck on my lips I rubbed it and that’s when I hear the thunder and someone coming to attack me , but it was my Friend Jane.

I called myself and we went back inside and there was a lamp in the middle of the cemetery we sat down on a slab and I washed my face and drank water and I felt a relief as if I achieved something. Then we looked at each other and started to giggle so loudly we thought the spirits will come out from the grave and say "Shut up you morons let us take some rest", haaaaaa I will never forget that day we danced, played music, sang songs and ate our favourite Cheetos yummmmmm, our camera was recording and I played back to the scene I feel down I started to laugh looking at my face but it was really a nail biting time when I was alone for that 15-20 minutes. We didn’t knew it was past 6:30am we shouted loudly :””Heyyyyy we did itttttt”, we hopped and jumped and went back to our home and my mom opened the door and said :”Sarah what the hell did you do last night you t-shirt is so dirty and made a frown face , I said “ Mom we were playing in her backyard and I slipped myself that’s all " and i ran fast to my room and closed the door and took a big sigh of relief and smiled. Then freshened up myself and I and Jane went to the contest person and collected our money and when he saw our video he started to laugh looking at the time when I fell down but I just ignored it as if I don’t care and we took the money 200 dollars and enjoyed it.This was all about my dark night though it was fright but we won with might.
