That Night of Halloween

Trigger warning: suicide

In the last Halloween, me and my friend, Amy had decided to spend a night in a graveyard. Because we are the best ghost hunters in this town. It was a different experience of our lives. Actually, we are new in this town. My family shifted here six months ago. But Amy's family are living in this town for ten years. We became best friends since we met with each other. We play together, learn together and spend the whole day together. We wanted to make that Halloween very especial. But the Halloween truly remain exceptional.

We started to pack our bags and we had taken all the important things that we needed for ghost hunting. We reached to the graveyard at 12:00 a.m. It is the biggest graveyard in our town and there is a dense forest near. There is a rumor that the forest is not safe because many of the town men saw ghosts inside there. But we are the bravest!!!

We were so excited at first. We were gossiping and were making fun of the ghosts. Amy was saying jocks on the ghosts. But it seemed like everything became more silent and spooky as the time passed by. We were waiting for the arrival of the ghosts and were taken attempted to catch the ghosts. Suddenly Amy saw someone was walking inside the graveyard. But I saw nothing.

"Are you scared Amy?"

I laughed and also tried to made fun with Amy. But then suddenly we saw a little girl with Halloween costume was walking near a gravestone. She would be a girl of five or six. We could not see her face clearly. She was going to the woods.

"Where the heck she is going? The woods is not safe.

I think she is braver than us. Let's follow her Amy."

So we started to follow her. The more we went forward, the more the woods was becoming dense and silent. We had already walked so deep inside the forest. Then we suddenly realized that we were lost.

"Now what to do?

Calm down Amy. We will be fine.

I'm so scared Melody. I want to go home.

We are lost, I think. Let's wait for the morning. OK.

I can't wait in this spooky forest.

Look! There's the girl. Let's follow her.

Are you crazy! We even don't know her.

We don't have any choice. I think she can help us."

Again we started to follow the little girl. Then we saw a big house inside the woods.

"There is a house.

Yeah! We're safe!

There is light inside the house.

Let's stay in here for tonight, Melody.

Ok. Let's go."

The door was opened. When we go in front of the house we saw someone moved so fast inside the house.

"Hello! Anybody there?

Hello."

Then we entered the house. But that was the most wrong decision we had taken. Suddenly the door was shut down and the lights were turned off. We turned on our torch and tried to open the door but it was locked and suddenly a sound came.

"Hello!"

We saw that the little girl was smile upon us and was holding a knife.

"Amy run!"

We ran to the next room and close the door.

"You can run but you can't hide."

Amy started to cry.

"What do we do now? We are trapped. We are going to die!

Nothing will be happened to us. There will be some way to get out of this house."

"But you can't go outside, dear!"

We saw a lady is brushing her hair and suddenly turn her head to the backside.

"Trick or treat!"

We ran outside the room and suddenly I fall down and I saw the lady was crawling on the floor and came toward me. I shouted loudly. Amy pulled me up and we ran to the upstairs. The doors are all locked in the upstairs.

"What do we do now? Where should we hide?

I don't know Amy."

Then suddenly someone jumped on me and I fall on the floor. It was the little girl. She was trying to kill me with knife. But Amy pushed her hard and she was out of balanced and fall to downstairs. We were scared and ran to downstairs but there was nothing. Suddenly a sound came from kitchen. So we slowly moved toward the kitchen and we saw a man was hanging in the celling of the kitchen. We became speechless. But the man unexpectedly opened his eyes and smiled. We slowly stepped back and the man jumped down and ran toward us so fast. We ran and hide ourselves behind the bathroom's door. Then we saw that the lady came inside the bathroom and lay inside the bathtub and drown herself under water. We slowly left the bathroom and ran fast. We saw the front door was opened. So we tried to go outside. But Alas! We fall into a big hole and lost our senses.

"Wake up! Wake up Melody!

What happened?

We are safe now.

What?

We are come back into the graveyard.

How?

I don't know.

Then I saw a letter under my hand.

Dear Sam,

I don't have any choice. My debt are become too much. And I have also lost my current job. I can't tell Sara all these things that are happening for these days. She is the best wife I never saw. But if I leave her, she can't lead a good life with my little Naila. So I want to take them with me. I love them so much.

You can find Sara inside the bathtub, Naila in her playroom and I'll be in the kitchen. No one is responsible for our death. Happy Halloween my friend.

Love

John

"Can you understand anything Amy?

Yes, I think so.

Look! The gravestone! John Bundren!

Sara Bundren!

And Naila Bundren!

Speechless, right.

Yeah. I think everything is over. Let's go home."

We walked outside of the graveyard. It was dawn already. But we saw that three of them were standing in front of the woods.

Happy Halloween!
