Police sirens wail, while the person on the emergency line is screaming "she is dying, she is dying". It goes dead silent, a mysterious whisper says "your friend is dead and you are next". Terrified the woman on the line was silent and out of nowhere a shilling scream was heard, the operator said, " Ma'am, Ma'am are you okay?" The line cuts out and that woman Meredeth Ryder was never seen or heard of again.     A young lesbian couple are going somewhere haunted. "Andromeda stop I'm driving!" Sydney says while giggling. Andromeda said "make me" while kissing Sydney on the cheek. "Okay the directions say to turn left on 120th Street." Andromeda directs Sydney. A whisper says to Andromeda, "Don't go, you and your lover will die." Andromeda takes the whisper to mind. "Hey honey, let's not go to the graveyard." Sydney replies with "why are you scared, scared that the monster is real and will kill us?" Sydney says jokingly. Andromeda sighs "I guess we will go".  "We are here!" Sydney bursts with excitement. There is a huge sign with big bold letters in a Gothic print that says Graveyard of Betrayal. Andromeda then grabs Sydney by the hair and kisses her and they start to make out.  Andromeda let's go. "Well what are we waiting for?" Sydney says while they unpack. Andromeda hears a groan. She turns around in fear just to hear Sydney lifting something. She sighs in relief while Sydney unpacks Andromeda sets up the campfire. Sydney sits next to Andromeda to watch the sunset. “It's really pretty, just like you!” Sydney says and kisses Andromeda on the cheek. Night time comes and they are cuddling in the bed and hear a loud crash. Like a tree branch falling, they ignore it and go back to sleep. They hear a woman screaming and go outside to hide. The two girls hide and call 911, and say we heard a woman scream while sleeping. The operator says okay where are you and Sydney says 120th St Ave at a place called Graveyard of Betrayal. The operator gasps and says Get out of there right now. Leave your things, only get the prized possessions and leave now.  The girls follow instructions, grab their phones and purses and run to the car. Andromeda says “I knew it.” Sydney says what happened and goes back to the house not knowing that someone was following them. They go to sleep and wake up the next morning to find their cat, dead on the floor. Out of nowhere they pass out. Waking up in that same graveyard and seeing a masked woman saying I told you and now you shall suffer the consequences. Andromeda and Sydney get possessed by the woman Meredeth Ryder and become her murderer apprentices. The girls murdered more people. Andromeda gets flashbacks when she first hears the whisper. She starts to gain sanity back from the woman who possessed her. Meredith says “okay time to go to sleep.” While Meredith goes to sleep she kisses Sydney and she gains her sanity back and they decide to kill Meredith. They grab a weapon, Sydney grabs a knife while Andromeda grabs a tomahawk. The girls go to Meredeth’s room and Sydney slits Meredeth’s throat while Meredeth gets a tomahawk to the head. They go back home and go to sleep while cuddling knowing they will never go to a graveyard with urban legends hidden in them again. Sydney goes to the fridge and grabs a cigarette and hands one to Andromeda. Andromeda thinks “We have never smoked before. She runs to Sydney and says “hey we shouldn’t smoke, we are trained assassins and we need our lungs to not be capacitated by nicotine.” Sydney says “your right, we shouldn’t smoke, but one won’t hurt, Right?” Andromeda sternly told her “No, one can make a big difference. I have done it once and my lungs hurt and I couldn’t breathe.” Sydney began to tremble and cry. “Andromeda, I have to tell you something.” Those cigarettes aren’t mine, your friends came over while we were at the Graveyard and they smoked and drank.” “I used to drink a lot and I had a nicotine addiction. Before I met you and when I met you I stopped and thought I was such a disappointment and started to cut and when we started dating I cut myself still thinking I was a disapointment to you and to my family, I am sorry” Sydney admitted while bawling her eyes out. Andromeda was in shock, she didn’t know what to say. She just held Sydney in her arms telling her “it's going to be alright and that we can burn that graveyard.” She said okay and they headed back to the graveyard where the shed was and burnt it down. The two girls drove back home knowing that nobody was going to get hurt anymore. Sydney was still crying and trying to keep her emotions in control, but she couldn’t and lit a cigarette and burnt herself with it. Andromeda said “No, stop, please it hurts me to see you in pain.” “Sydney please listen to me, don't hurt yourself please.” Andromeda cried while trying to keep herself under control. She screams as Sydney passes out onto her lap. Andromeda drives to the house, sets Sydney in her bed and cries begging God to wake her up. She didn’t wake up for a week still thinking and thinking in her sleep. Andromeda goes to eat ice cream as she sees Sydney walking out of the bedroom barely able to walk. Telling herself that she is okay and she is just hallucinating  out of grief, She runs out to help her but instead she disappears into the shadows and she is in the blank space of her mind. Hearing voices saying I don’t think she is going to make it, I am sorry we tried as much as we could, and heard Sydney screaming. Then Andromeda wakes up from her coma.
