Chapter 1

Outside the town of Folklore; the place where the sun doesn’t shine and has a gloomy atmosphere, is “Cheerio graveyard”. This graveyard is known to be cursed and is avoid by the people of the town. It has been deserted for years for there is a rumor this where the dead dances. It’s a false rumor because I had been coming here for two years. My lover and I have been secretly meeting since the day we met. Now I am waiting for him to come for me; we are running away. We’re going to get married and leave this place. Together we are going to see the open world.

Fredrick, my lover, is mighty late but I will wait five more minutes until he comes for me. I sit on top of an old grave tomb, waiting. He should be here in another five minutes. I will not leave this spot till he comes. The wind blew and I shiver. It’s very cold out tonight.

I heard a twig snap and I got up off the tomb. Fredrick has finally come; now we can leave together.

“Hey this place is ancient?” said an unfamiliar voice. I gasp; it was not Fredrick. I hid behind a nearby tomb. Father most had sent out a search party for me. How could he notice I was gone so quickly?

“It’s a least 200 years old. Well at least that what it said on Google.” said another unfamiliar voice.

“It’s said to be haunted.” Said I voice I know very well. I sigh with relief; it my darling. They must be friends of Fredrick to help us escape this place.

“Really haunted? I don’t see any ghost? I hope they wouldn’t mind if we take some things.” Said a high pitch voice; this had to be a woman.

“We better hope they have anything for us at all. I heard this is where the rich were buried but it has been 200 hundred years and the jewels and gold most have turned to dusk.” Said Fredrick.

I step out my hiding place. Two lights hit my eyes and burn them. They were flash lights.

“Fredrick, what kind of light is this. It hurts my eyes; turn it off.” I complain.
The moonlight came from behind the clouds and shine down on the graveyard. I saw two man looking of 19 or 20 and a female looking of 17 or 18. I saw my Fredrick walking at the very end next to the female. I smile but smile then turn into a frown when I look down at Fredrick’s hand.

His hand was place firmly into the female’s hand.
I step toward them and cross my arms.

“Fredrick, what is this? Why are you holding this witch’s hand?” I ask.
They all kept walking toward me; like they didn’t hear a word I said.
“FREDRICK! Don’t ignore me.” I said.

They kept walking.
I pouted and walk right up to Fredrick. He kept walking. I blink and he went right through me. I eyes grew wide and I touch my body; everything seem solid. I look back at Fredrick who has stopped.

“Deacon what’s wrong?” Ask the female. Deacon? His name is Fredrick; you witch.
Fredrick shivered. “I had a cold feeling just a moment ago.” Said Fredrick.

“Maybe it was a ghost? They say if you get a chill it’s a ghost.” Said one boy.

“No, way you idiot. It cold out here. There no such things as ghost.” Said the other boy.
Fredrick just shrugged his shoulders and they all kept walking. I hurried to catch up with them.

“FREDRICK! FREDRICK!?!” I shouted. But Fredrick just kept walking.
I then push him and my arms went right through his back and my whole body. I fell to the ground with a thump.

“Brrr….It really is cold out here? It just got really cold.” Said Fredrick. Fredrick then walks on top of me and I brace myself for him to step on me. When he did; his foot went right through my back onto the ground. I blink; I felt no pain. Fredrick was ahead of me again. What is going on?

I followed them but this time I stayed a little far apart. I didn’t touch Fredrick again. This didn’t make any sense. He went through me and he couldn’t hear me.

All at once they all stop and I also stop. I notice something; Fredrick, and the two boys held shovels. What were they doing with those?

The female crouch down in front of a grave.
“I think this girl grave we could dig up first.” Said the female. “She has some seal on her grave; seems rich. Only rich folks have this on their grave.”
“What’s her name?” Ask Fredrick.

“Livi Dawn Mince; 1960-1978.” Said the female.
“That means she was 18 when she die. Poor girl.” Said a boy.
What they mean die? I’m right here!

“Well, Livi, please let us have your valuables since you no use for them.” Said Fredrick.
“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I’M RIGHT HERE!” I shouted.

“Okay let start digging.” Said a boy. “Josh, pass me a shovel.”


The boy call Josh pass the other boy a shovel. Fredrick was the first to dig his shovel into the Earth. The female let go of Fredrick’s hand and step back. Josh and the other boy began digging. I stomped toward them and got in front of them.

“IS THIS A JOKE BECAUSE IT ISN’T FUNNY! I’m right here! And digging up graves is disrespectful!” I shouted. They ignore me and kept digging. “Fredrick stop right now!”
Fredrick ignore me and kept digging. I then stomped up to him and slap him. My hand went right through him. Fredrick shiver again.

I back away wide eye. How can this be? I back up until I felt my leg touch a cold hard surface. I turn around and swatted at the grave. I read it.

“Livi Dawn Mince, 1960-1978. A dear daughter of major and love by everyone. Dead young but will always be in our hearts. We will miss her bright smile and her cheerful ways. We will always love you Livi.” I read out loud.

This was my grave.

chapter 2

I sat on an near by gave and watch them dig. I am planing on looking inside the casket to see if that was really my body in there. The female help a giant flashlight over the hole they dug so they could see. If that is Fredrick then why is he digging up my grave?

"Hey I think I finally hit it." Said Josh.
I got from where I sat and walk over to the hole. The hole was about 5 feet under. The other boy drop his shovel and wipe away the left over dirt that was on the casket. Fredrick help the female down into the hole. I waited for Fredrick to help me down and then I realize he couldn't see or hear me. I hop down and landed on my butt. I dust myself off and walk around the casket to sat next to Fredrick.

Josh and the other boy together lifted the top and put it aside. My eyes grew wide as I saw the girl laying there before me. There was a skeleton that was pure white; not a speck of dirt on it.It It was wearing a red dress and black heels. Its hair was still all there; it had black curly hair framing it's head. It had a golden necklace that had a golden locket said Livi on it; it was present from Fredrick. I touch my neck where the locket would have been; it was gone. It was creepy but yet the skeleton was beautiful.

"What is this?" Ask Josh. "Why is the skeleton so clean and white? Did someone clean it. This is the cleanest I ever seen a skeleton."

"I know right." Said the other boy.

I look closely at the skeleton. That couldn't me. The only evidence is the locket.

"Man this skeleton has nothing good." Said Fredrick.
"I like the locket." Said the female. The female then reach down for my locket; I tried to stop her but my hand went right through her. She then got the locket off the skeleton and put it in her pocket.

"THAT's mine!" I scream.

"What a waste of time. Only thing this chick had was a locket. Maybe we can sale the locket at the pawn shop." Said Josh.
"No way, this is mine! I can put a pic in here." Said the female. She patted the pocket she put my locket in.

I glare at the female.How can she steal from me! The dead....we that person the there....She already stole my man but now my most wonderful gift...worst of all Fredrick didn't try to stop her. Could it be dug up my grave to give the locket to her?

Tears blurred my vision; how can I be dead. How can Fredrick stand before my grave and not shred a tear. I sat on the edge of the casket and cried. It started to rain.

"We better get out this hole before it rains harder." Said one boy.
"Yeah." Fredrick agree.
I just sat there and cried and watch them climb out the hole.

"Hey shouldn't you guys burry her back up?" Ask the female.
"Nah, we'll come back later. Aint like anyone been in this grave for years anyways." said Fredrick.

It started to rain harder and they all took off running. I sat in the hole now alone. I got up and went over to the skeleton head and touch it. I could feel the skeleton and it was hard and cold. It time for me to get out of this hole before I drown in it. I tried to climb the wall but I couldn't it all turn to mud and was hard to get a grip. I then tried again and was at the top. But lighting stuck near my hand at the top and I jump and let go of the walls. I fell back into the hole and landed into the open casket.

I tried to get up but couldn't. I blink and I found myself sinking into the skeleton. I tried to get free but I couldn't I sunk in deeper and deeper. The last thing I saw was the moon and then it was dark.
