Believe the Unbelievable

“This is such a BAD idea Luna” 

“Come on, it won’t be that bad. What possibly happen huh? 

“What could possibly happen, are u crazy I don’t play with stuff like this, the dead. Let alone spend a night here at a graveyard” 

“Don’t tell me you believe in those kind of stuff” 

“YES, I do. I don’t even know why I followed you ass here” 

“Enough talking and let’s roam around” 

Luna positions her flashlight towards the area she is walking towards. I follow behind her quietly yet quickly making sure to be right behind her so I don’t loose her. It’s completely pitch black here with no streetlights whatsoever. Only the guidance of Luna’s flashlight, which by the way isn’t the brightest. The graveyard is immensely huge as it is one of the few graveyards around the city where I live at. Making the atmosphere eerily odd. The graves are situated closely with multiple pathways one being the one me and Luna are walking on. Surrounding the graveyard are lots of tall, bulky trees adding to the creepiness of the graveyard. Making it easily for the trees to be mistaken for a person from afar or even anything. Even though it’s nature nonetheless anything in the late night of a graveyard is petrifying. Still following closely behind Luna I swear I heard some rustling. I jerk my head around so quick in the direction I heard the rustling, I though I fractured a bone in my neck from the pain I’m in currently. I repeatedly tap Luna shoulders getting her to turn around. “Luna, I heard some rustling”

“It’s probably nothing, stop being paranoid” 

“I can’t help it this is actually really creepy and I could have sworn I heard rustling”

“Like I said before it’s probably nothing. Probably the wind blowing against the leaves of the tree’s. 

“Uggghhhh I don’t like this at all! Remind me again why where doing this again”

“We have to prove to the others that were not cowards and complete this dare. Come on Ashanti  don’t be a wimp”

“I don’t care if I’m being a wimp we’re literally going to spend the night with the dead? Just deep it does that not scare the crap out of you. Like it’s so morbid. Who knows right now we’re probably surrounded by spirits and ghosts wanting us to move off their territory as we’re disturbs their peace ” 

“When you put it like that it just sounds real spooky and crazy. Don’t think much of it, it’s just a night. Think of it as if we’re homeless and just finding a night to spend somewhere, because clearly it’s the whole graveyard concept that’s getting to you”

I scoff still not liking this idea with an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. We finally get to wherever Luna has led us to. I inspect where where we are to make sure I’m at least comfortable in where we’re about to spend the night even though this whole thing is not ideal and insanely terrifying to me. We’re not far from a grave which isn’t settling well with me at all. “You couldn’t have chose somewhere else Luna” I give her a look as if to say you kidding me. “This was the only area that looked as tho nothing will creep out on us” I looked at her in shock “LUNA!!” she burst out laughing tears welling up in her eyes, clutching her stomach. “Chillax Ashanti, I’m messing with you” she says coming down from her fit of laughter with giggles. 

“Start setting up” Luna says snapping me to her attention and away from my inspection of the area we’ll be spending the night. I start to unfold my sleeping bag alongside Luna who is has already unfolded hers. Seeming eager to do this I ask her in disbelief “your really not fazed about this” she turns to look at me “I’ve been telling you girl I don’t believe in all that your going on about” I just shake my head at her and continue to set up my sleeping bag. Once I’m done and inside of it I look towards Luna. 

“What now?”

“Let’s talk to pass time. Unless you want to go to sleep now” 

“I don’t know what I want to do. This environment is making me uneasy. I know I keep talking about this but this whole thing is  really absurd” 

“Let’s just talk to get your mind off this” 

“I don’t know if that will make me feel better but whatever let’s try” 

“Ok then. What did you tell your parents about this” 

“I just told them that I was staying the night at yours. What about you?” 

“Told them the same thing” 

“Hopefully they don’t suspect anything” Luna says. I nod at her I’m response. Time goes by as we’re talking before we know it we’re both zoning off to sleep. I’m such a light sleeper that not long into sleeping I start to hear noises close by. I tense up holding my breathe in as if the mere air that I breathe in and out will expose us. I shuffle enough to reach Luna and start shaking her lightly yet with urgency in order to wake up. I whisper to her “Luna get up!” I keep shaking her and calling her name until she starts to stir in her sleep. She suddenly wake ups and she says in a sleepy tone “what” 

“ I heard noises” I say frantically 

“Not this again Ashanti” she says in an irritated voice

“No I swear this time I heard someone” just as I’ve sad that we hear the noises again “you see I told you!” 

“Oh gosh what was that!” 

“I don’t know but we need to leave NOW”

“No, what about the dare?”

“I DO NOT CARE ABOUT A DARE RIGHT NOW” 

All of a sudden we see a figure crawling towards our direction in a slow, steady pace. We start to panic. Not sure what it is we hastily come out of our sleeping bags. Trying to gather them up from the floor we manage to do so. We turn the opposite direction of the unknown figure and run soo quick for our lives. Literally.
