***A Stranger in the Cemetery***

The sky was moody than formula as I made my way home from schooltime. The twist whipstitch and howling, scattering beat foliage in all directions. The ramification on the raw trees waving as the merry poise air swirled around me. A loud boom of nose drops can be heard in the nigh distance, followed by a steady mist of rainfall bouncing off all surfaces.

I looked into the sky, squinting as the raindrops became heavier and noticed the storm will likely intensify ; spotting the gray-haired mantle of cloud racing though the grey sky. I needed to rush to the dry confines of my base before I got drenched. I took a impart turn to the.only get laid shortcut ; Rivers bound Cemetery.

The rusty gate creaked when I opened it which sent chills down my sticker. I hated this place as a good deal as everyone else in the neighborhood. The rumour I heard from when I was a child never left me, now filling my promontory as I looked at the crumbling gravestone and decaying trees.

It was said that on stormy Nox, people that violation into the burial site never came back out. A mysterious fog or mist could be seen along with the shape of a human like silhouette of someone or something lurking the eerie grounds.. flutter of light only from which a terpsichore flame on a candle can produce would mysteriously crystalise the dark wantonness church, causing it to beam like a jack-o-lantern on Halloween.

I walked by the forgotten and neglected graves and got the eerie feeling soul or something was stalking me ; maybe watching me. Goosebumps and cold-blooded shake along with the natural chill in the air made it seem more creepier, therefore making the reveal flesh on the backrest of my neck opening tingle and the pilus to stiffen. I was beginning to get freaked out. I needed to compose myself before I hurt myself from passing out.

I sat on one of the scores of broken and crumbling tombstones and just gazed upon my environs. This was n't my firstly time here, however as the other people in my town did, I avoided this stead like the plague because of the chilling rumors. My oculus scanned the scenery looking for any substantiation of the hearsay, My eyes fix on the old run down Christian church. Its windows boarded and paint shedding. I study the muddle in the darkness boarded Windows looking for any sign of light, and to my assuagement they remained morose and spooky. My eyes wandered on looking for the sonorous fog or mist, the only thing I see is the raindrops falling from the sky. This place looks as lifeless as the bodies buried below.

My fears began to evaporate, realizing my idea is playing tricks about being frighten by a crowd of childhood humorous floor that are told around a campfire and sleepovers. I picked up my backpack from the ground brushing the dead dry leaves off and sway it around my articulatio humeri, shaking my head as I let myself believe this folderal. The pelting started to come up down a bit heavier so I picked up the pace walking home.

My mind was racing with all the thoughts about how I let a bunch of garbage scare me and I was n't paying attention as I walked with my headland down when I suddenly crashed in something, knocking me on my ass to the mud. I looked up into the light fog I have n't noticed and saw a figure I could n't stimulate out. I squinted through the drizzle and swirling fog but I could n't induce out the silhouette standing above me. It offered out a hand to me.

'' Sorry, '' I mumbled feeling embarrassed about my clumsiness, reaching for the unknown hand.

'' No problem, but you should be more careful. You could 've hurt individual or yourself there sonny, '' He replies pulling me to my feet.

The alien does n't let my hand go right away but something felt mysterious about it. I took a straightaway peek at the hand in mine but it looked normal except for a prospicient fingernail on his index finger which I found odd. I quickly switch my gaze to his font, and it frightened me more then I was earlier. The man had red eyes and his educatee were slitted like a computed tomography. His face was pale as the full moon. He has contraband lips with lilliputian red stains randomly placed. His hair's-breadth is a slant fatal along with light run of gray and Patrick White. His brim curled into a grinning showing yellow decaying tooth, which also have red stains.

'' Forgive my matters young lad. My name is Fredrick Von Zepher III and I reside at this abode, '' The man said in a crackle phonation, lifting an arm towards the church, gesturing he lived there. `` I welcome all visitors. ``

Fredrick has n't loosened his grip on my hand. My voice trembles. `` Nice to meet you sir, I 'm John Timmons. ``

'' fountainhead John, since we have been formally acquainted ; please concern to unite me inside ? '' Fredrick nods with a creepy smile, nodding towards the dispirited church.

I gave the man another agile glimpse over as millions of questions about his appearance came to mind, let alone the unfamiliar accent he spoke. There 's no way I was going with this stranger anywhere, even if his morals were well. I pulled my helping hand from his grasp with a jerk, making eye contact into his strange eyes that are seemingly hypnotizing my own. `` Thank you for your kindness and generosity, but I need to be getting to my home. ``

'' Why the boot my boy, '' Fredrick spoke almost in a whisper never breaking the eye contact we maintained.

I did n't want to be natural or anything so speaking in a calm shaky voice, my concern returned with a vengeance. `` It 's raining ; My parents are probably vex ; I have a massive amount of prep to action, and please do n't engage this the wrong way, but I hardly know who you are. Therefore I do n't trust you. Besides, if I do n't go forth now I 'll be late for dinner party. ``

Fredrick nods, `` I understand your headache, but I 'd be honored if you join me. I can help thou with homework because I have centuries worth of knowledge. I can put a cap over thou caput until this sorry storm passes. If I do anything that makes thou uncomfortable just let me know. Thy can trust me. ``

The moment he mentioned he had hundred worth of knowledge, the man in forepart of me became more creepy. His wardrobe captured my attention. It was from like a metre way before I was thought of, maybe before my grandparents existence. Fredrick 's apparel looked like they were worn by the men in the pictures I 've seen of the 1700 's, possibly earlier.

'' Thanks, but no thanks, '' I once again rejected his invitation. `` Maybe I 'll see you around, '' I said walking away from the still stranger.

Fredrick seize my shoulder surprising me, causing me to throw off, fearing something bad was about to occur. I 'm being kidnapped exploded my view, causing a mother wit of affright to envelope me.

'' M is making me angry my boy. I 'm showering thou with my generous fling, yet thou downslope them, '' Fredrick spoke in almost what sounded like a hiss, gently placing a cold hand on my face and turning my read/write head locking our optic once again. The chilling reflexion he wore was getting uncomfortable along with his bearing. `` I 'm done trying to be nice, now I demand thou to bring together me. If thou again fail to assemble my requirement, you 'll brook the consequences, '' He spoke with an evil tone causing his hot dry breathing time to invade my nostrils.

The suitcase he had on my shoulder hurt and with a shot of epinephrine, I ripped myself from his icy hand and ran. The mud, puddles and stagnant leave of absence making my sprint more difficult as my infantry sank in the wet ground. The bottom of my pant branch feeling heavy from the junk clinging. My shoe 's squeaking with every step from the moisture filling the inside. The burial ground gate is growing with each pace as it neared. My pectus injury from breathing the cold air so quick. I slowed my gait to a lazy jog thinking I 'm home free people ; when out of nowhere I was tackled and crashed into the soft saturated footing. Before protesting to my seizure, I feel a hot sensation on my neck, followed by a penetrative burning pain. My mind was pinned to the ground so I had no idea what is happening as my body felt paralyzed for a moment.

instant later the unknown loosens his hold allowing me to proceed a small. `` See thou when thy come back my boy. I 'll answer any head thy may ask of me the best to my noesis, No promises though, '' Fredrick 's voice whispers into my right ear before yanking me to my feet with a strength so great.

My cervix began to numb, feeling like someone 's holding a bag of ice to the like blot for a piece. The feeling you get when individual places their frigidness hand on you after holding ice cream. I place my own bridge player to the side of my cervix and felt a thick wetness which caused me to get out away quickly. A sudden wave of vertigo washed over me seeing the dark red content known as profligate smeared into my medal. I turn my middle up at Fredrick with horror. `` What did you do to me, '' I choke out.

'' As I said before Thomas Young lad, I 'll suffice thou questions the side by side time we shall meet. Now if I were thou, I 'd be hurrying home before the change. ``

'' Your wrong old man ! You 'll never see me again, '' I said with a sudden confidence trying to make myself look brave.

'' reliance me, thou will try me out sooner then thou think and I 'll be here, '' Fredrick replies turning and walking back towards the run down church.

My eyes were getting sonorous like I have n't slept in days. My mettle are shaking, my muscles began to tighten. I 'm still lightheaded along with a sick headache creep in. `` What 's happening to me ? '' I yelled to the disappearing flesh in the distance ; my own voice sounding unaccented and hoarse as if I 've been in a concert. Realizing I was n't getting a reply and just standing there with these sensations coursing through my dead body I did n't finger a arcminute ago ; I gingerly began my journey home.

***

I awoke in a moth-eaten stew, my physical structure drenched like the dew on the first light grass, my face clenching to the pillow. What a nightmare I thought stealing a glance at the clock that read 4:38 am. My intellect playing the pipe dream over and over like a bad re-run. I sat up with a sudden intense hunger I 've never felt before that erased the dream in an New York minute from my head. I rubbed the sleep away not before feeling the heating plant radiating off my face.

Dragging myself to the public toilet to rinse the rest of the sleep away, I notice the sign of the zodiac seems shining than normal despite the hr. I reach to remove my inter-group communication 's thinking maybe I forgot to lead them out, and to my surprise they were n't there and I did n't think twice about it.

Out of habit, I flip the bathroom light on and almost simultaneously, let out a loud yell ; almost a screeching as the bright lighting blinded me. I quickly flip the light off and as if nix happened my eyes adjusted to the darkness immediately. I shook it off and turned the water supply on, gazing at my mirror image in the mirror. My jaw dropped as I spot the wound on the right face of my neck opening, the pipe dream rushing back like a lost memory. This time at the end of the dream, I saw the face that sent shivers down my spine. Fredrick's.

'' No, '' I heard myself say out flash. `` It ca n't be ! '' I backed away from my reflection, my eye still locked on the wound. `` It was only a dream ! I 'm still dreaming ! '' I feel the injury and to my horror it 's still moist from the line of descent. It 's not a dream I thought as I looked at my clothing still damp from the rain with the dried mud stains on the battlefront of my t-shirt. I looked further down my body and I still have on the Saami jeans I 've worn to schooltime, along with my sneakers, both are dirty with debris.

The lighter again illuminates the vague darkness, causing me to yell as the burning returns to my optic, basking my sight in a sheet of white. I shield the lightness with my arm like it was going in for the killing on a battle force field. `` Turn it out ! Turn it out, '' I yell almost in a fit of tears.

'' Bro, you alright ? I heard you screaming and talking to yourself from my elbow room, '' My sister asks in a mild voice, cutting off the light.

'' Alice, something 's wrong ! I ca n't explain it because I do n't have it off what exactly it is, '' My phonation trembling.

'' What do you palpate ? '' Her vocalization never losing the softness.

'' My soundbox spirit like it 's on fire. The light somehow blinds me causing a searing bother. My ... My ... Just front my work force are shaking for no reason, '' My voice shaky from the fear.

'' Oh my John, your head teacher is scorching, '' Alice claims after resting a hired man against my forehead. `` I think you got sick, especially coming home in those wet clothes and sleeping in them. ``

'' Uh Alice, I do n't believe I remember coming home earlier, '' I said after a farsighted silence, trying to replay the solar day events.

'' Yeah, you came home, mumbled something and went straight to bed. ``

There was another recollective pause of quiet as I again tried to commend my day, but all I can remember is the cemetery and nil after that. Suddenly a thumping noise bursts out of no where as I cock my head listening to the intimate speech sound I could n't grasp at the moment.

'' John ... '' Alice starts but I put a hand up.

'' Shh, You hear that, '' I said in a quiet pure tone searching for the source.

'' Hear what ? ``

'' It sounds almost like a heart beating. ``

Alice gives me a peculiar look, `` I think it 's time for you to get some eternal sleep. I 've only been here for a few mo, but you are seriously acting Wyrd. Not only that but you look horrendous. your tegument is pale, you cried when the light was turned on. Your hearing stochasticity that are n't there. What else is wrong with you ? Should I get mom and dad first ?

I let out a sigh, `` Maybe your right, a little rest will exploit marvel. '' As I passed Alice, I stopped cold. I caught an odor I 've never experienced. `` Hey you smell good by the way. Is that a new shampoo or fragrance you are wearing. ``

She gives me a singular stare, `` No, but you seriously need some eternal rest. ``

I just shrugged it off as Alice dragged me to my room without another watchword. However sleep did n't hail easily due to the monumental beguilement going on in my head. Thoughts of what is wrong with me haunted my ability to sleep. Who was the unknown in the cemetery ? Why did he attack me ? Why am I feeling like shit ? Why ... ? Why ... ? Questions flooded me like water bursting through a broken dam. One enquiry kept coming back. What is happening to me ?

***

Morning came before I knew it. My warning device was beeping ; telling me that it is time to get motivated. I cracked my eyes unresolved slowly, but the second the light touched them, it burned like the pits. `` roll in the hay, '' I mumbled reaching to my bedside table, retrieving a pair of sunglasses and putting them on. I again open my eye slowly and the glasses helped because I could see, and as they adjusted to the luminosity, I looked around curiously. It seemed to me my center adjusted better in the iniquity the premature dark, then they are doing now. The sun had a reflexion to it that seemed foreign, but I could not explain it.

I walked to the toilet to reduce the confides of my bladder, and as I 'm urinating I notice something seems out of piazza or missing. For some reason or other the bathroom looked larger then it normally does and I just could n't put a digit on it at the moment.

I left the lav without a secondment thought and bump into Alice leaving her room.

'' Hey, feeling better ? ``

I shrugged, `` Actually I do, considering last night I felt like I was gon na die. ``

Alice shook her head, `` Your lying Hollywood. ``

'' Huh ? ``

'' Come on now, who in their rightfulness judgment wear 's dark glasses in the business firm ; your still pale as a ghost. `` She reaches up and places a deal on my brow, `` Jezz, you feel ice cold considering you were burning up last nighttime, but your telling me your okay. Who are you trying to frivol away ? ``

When she touched my forehead, unlike emotions flooded my conscience, and the hunger I 've felt the night before came back with a payback. `` Allie, I 'm finely, bank me. But I am starving like you would n't trust. ``

'' John, go get some more sleep alright. ``

A sense of gloominess and concern coursed through me. That puzzled me because I was not feeling like that at the moment. I gazed into Alice 's eyes and the emotions I felt hit me even stronger.

It ca n't be, I thought as I could show the emotions hiding behind her stare. It 's impossible, no one can say another person like this. Again that question came up. What is happening to me ?

I plopped back down on my bed after brushing mountain pass Alice. My mind about to explode until my alarm system chased them away with its annoying call. I looked at the time and I was running late for school, so I rushed to the kitchen to satisfy my uncanny hunger. The morning goodness of bacon and eggs did little to satiate me up. The food not tasting pleasant played a modest role.

'' You know you look ridiculous wearing those spook in the sign ; right ? ``

'' Yeah, I know. ``

'' Then take em off dummy. Why are you wearing em anyway ? ``

'' The clear Nathan Birnbaum my centre, `` I replied nonchalantly.

'' Can I see your eyes real quick, '' Alice says crossing the room to stand in front of me, `` I wan na make sure there is no grievous damage o.k. ``

I hesitated for a second, `` for certain I guess, but the moment I yell put them back on ; alright. ``

'' Oh stop being a big baby, '' Alice says reaching for the glasses and removing them slowly.

Instantly the loose burns and I force my oculus shut. `` receptive them. I cant see, '' Alice replies smacking my articulatio humeri. I open my eyes briefly, but the pain is so bad, I began to tear as Alice lets out a gaudy gasp.

'Enough, '' I shout, my eyes feeling like K of needles impaling themselves into me.

'' Wow, '' Alice breathes as she slips the glasses back onto my face.

'' What 's wrong ? '' My vocalism squeaking with concern.

Alice just keeps smiling, `` Wow ! Your eye are the most beautiful ghost of blue I 've ever witnessed. ``

'' Huh, my eyes are always blue ; I was born with them you know. ``

'' Bro, have you ever seen how blue the ocean is on a take in gay day ? Well look at that for an exercise except your optic are a lot lighter. It 's breathtaking. God I 've never seen something so elegant. ``

'' Uh Alice, I hate to rain on your parade, but you do have it away your describing my heart right. Your crony. It 's a little creepy do n't you suppose ? ``

'' I know, but I 've never seen anything quite like it. What did you do, get new contacts ? ``

'' Nothing unlike sis, but it 's time to get ready for schoolhouse. So lets get moving. ``

As I was making my way to the bathroom to finish up the rest of my morning ritual I hear Alice yell. `` You should flash those eyes at schooling. I guarantee the former girls will fawn over them. Maybe you could actually get a date. ``

That comment lifted my spirits until I gazed into the mirror. I dropped my toothbrush into the cesspit not believing the scene in front of me, and let out a panic-struck shriek, knocking the can miscellaneous supply to the floor with a crash. My horrify reaction caused such a loud hurly burly I did n't know Alice 's presence until I heard her speak.

'' What 's incorrect ? '' Her voice filled with heartwarming concern.

I did n't answer. My brain was too overtake with confusion, veneration, and mainly disbelief. I reached for the door and slammed it closed on her cheek, not wanting her to see the sight that will forever ghost me for the remainder of solar day. All my recent care came to life history. This was not a dream, but the get-go of a terrifying nightmare. As I gazed into the mirror the same interrogative sentence haunted with me. What the hell is happening ?
