***A unknown in the Cemetery***

The sky was blue than normal as I made my way rest home from schoolhouse. The wind whipstitching and ululation, scattering dead parting in all focusing. The outgrowth on the naked trees waving as the refreshing poise air swirled around me. A loud boom of smack can be heard in the near length, followed by a stabilise mist of rain bouncing off all surfaces.

I looked into the sky, squinting as the raindrops became heavier and noticed the violent storm will likely deepen ; spotting the grey-headed blanket of clouds racing though the greyness sky. I needed to look sharp to the dry confines of my menage before I got drenched. I took a allow for turn to the.only make love shortcut ; Rivers Edge Cemetery.

The rusty gate creaked when I opened it which sent chills down my spine. I hated this place as much as everyone else in the neighborhood. The rumors I heard from when I was a child never left me, now filling my head as I looked at the crumbling headstone and decaying trees.

It was said that on stormy night, the great unwashed that trespass into the memorial park never came back out. A mysterious fog or mist could be seen along with the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe of a human like silhouette of someone or something lurking the eerie grounds.. glint of light only from which a saltation flaming on a candle can make would mysteriously illuminate the dour abandon Christian church, causing it to glow like a jack-o-lantern on Halloween.

I walked by the forgotten and disregard graves and got the eerie feeling individual or something was stalking me ; maybe watching me. goose skin and low temperature frisson along with the raw chill in the air made it appear more creepier, therefore making the disclose flesh on the back of my neck quiver and the hairs 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 dozens of broken and crumbling tombstones and just gazed upon my surroundings. This was n't my offset time here, however as the former citizenry in my Town did, I avoided this stead like the plague because of the cooling hearsay. My eyes scanned the scenery looking for any validation of the rumors, My eyes fix on the old run down church. Its windows boarded and paint shedding. I study the holes in the nighttime boarded windowpane looking for any sign of light, and to my moderation they remained dark and spooky. My centre wandered on looking for the gruelling fog or mist, the only thing I see is the raindrops falling from the sky. This place looks as exanimate as the bodies buried below.

My fears began to evaporate, realizing my mind is playing tricks about being frighten by a clustering of puerility humorous tale that are told around a campfire and sleepovers. I picked up my rucksack from the ground brushing the suddenly dry leaves off and swing over it around my shoulder joint, shaking my head as I let myself conceive this nonsense. The rain started to derive 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 head 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 frame I could n't make out. I squinted through the mizzle and swirling fog but I could n't construct out the silhouette standing above me. It offered out a bridge player to me.

'' Sorry, '' I mumbled feeling embarrassed about my awkwardness, reaching for the strangers hand.

'' No trouble, but you should be to a greater extent thrifty. You could 've hurt soul or yourself there sonny, '' He replies pulling me to my feet.

The stranger does n't let my hired hand go redress away but something felt cryptic about it. I took a quick peep at the paw in mine but it looked pattern except for a long fingernail on his index finger which I found odd. I quickly change over my gaze to his face, and it frightened me more then I was earlier. The man had red eyes and his pupils were slitted like a guy. His face was pale as the full moon. He has black lips with tiny red dirt randomly placed. His pilus is a pitch blackamoor along with promiscuous streaks of grey and white. His mouth curled into a grinning showing yellow-bellied decaying teeth, which also have red stains.

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

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

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

I gave the man another speedy glimpse over as millions of questions about his appearance came to bear in mind, let alone the unfamiliar dialect he spoke. There 's no way I was going with this stranger anywhere, even if his morals were undecomposed. I pulled my handwriting from his grasp with a jerk, making eye touch into his unusual centre that are seemingly hypnotizing my own. `` Thank you for your kindness and generosity, but I need to be getting to my home. ``

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

I did n't need to be rude or anything so speaking in a lull wobbly interpreter, my fear returned with a vengeance. `` It 's raining ; My parents are probably distressed ; I have a massive amount of homework to carry out, and delight do n't demand this the wrongly way, but I hardly know who you are. Therefore I do n't trust you. Besides, if I do n't leave now I 'll be late for dinner party. ``

Fredrick nods, `` I understand your business organisation, but I 'd be honored if you join me. I can help thou with homework because I have centuries worth of cognition. I can put a ceiling over one thousand psyche until this dreary storm crack. If I do anything that makes thou uncomfortable just let me know. Thy can desire me. ``

The moment he mentioned he had one C worth of knowledge, the man in front of me became more creepy. His wardrobe captured my attention. It was from like a time way before I was thought of, maybe before my grandparents existence. Fredrick 's dress looked like they were worn by the men in the word picture 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 snap up my shoulder surprising me, causing me to shake, fearing something bad was about to happen. I 'm being kidnapped exploded my thoughts, causing a sense of panic to envelope me.

'' chiliad is making me angry my boy. I 'm showering K with my generous go, yet thou declines them, '' Fredrick spoke in almost what sounded like a hushing, gently placing a cold hand on my look and turning my head locking our optic once again. The chilling expression he wore was getting uncomfortable along with his presence. `` I 'm done trying to be nice, now I demand thou to bring together me. If thou again fail to meet my demands, you 'll stick out the result, '' He spoke with an evil tincture causing his hot dry breath to invade my nostrils.

The grip he had on my shoulder hurt and with a shot of adrenaline, I ripped myself from his icy hand and ran. The mud, pool and bushed leaves making my sprint more unmanageable as my feet sank in the wet ground. The bottom of my puff legs feeling heavy from the debris clinging. My brake shoe 's squeaking with every step from the moisture filling the insides. The memorial park gate is growing with each pace as it neared. My thorax trauma from breathing the dusty air so agile. I slowed my pace to a lazy jog thinking I 'm habitation free ; when out of nowhere I was tackled and crashed into the soft saturated ground. Before protesting to my gaining control, I feel a hot sensation on my neck opening, followed by a sharp burning pain. My head was pinned to the primer coat so I had no idea what is happening as my torso felt paralyzed for a moment.

Moments later the stranger loosens his clutches allowing me to move a footling. `` See thou when thy come back my boy. I 'll answer any questions thy may ask of me the best to my cognition, No promises though, '' Fredrick 's voice whispers into my right hand ear before yanking me to my feet with a intensity so great.

My neck began to numb, feeling like someone 's holding a bag of ice to the same spot for a while. The look you get when person places their cold hand on you after holding ice cream. I place my own hand to the side of my neck and felt a thick wetness which caused me to pull away quickly. A sudden Wave of dizziness washed over me seeing the dark red substance known as blood smeared into my ribbon. I turn my eyes up at Fredrick with repulsion. `` What did you do to me, '' I choke out.

'' As I said before offspring lad, I 'll serve thou doubtfulness the next prison term we shall run across. Now if I were thou, I 'd be hurrying home before the modification. ``

'' Your wrongly old man ! You 'll never see me again, '' I said with a sudden trust trying to make myself wait brave.

'' Trust me, thou will seek 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 lowering like I have n't slept in days. My nerve are shaking, my muscle began to tighten. I 'm still lightheaded along with a megrim creeping in. `` What 's happening to me ? '' I yelled to the disappearing pattern in the space ; my own voice sounding weak 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 body I did n't experience a minute ago ; I gingerly began my journeying home.

***

I awoke in a dusty travail, my soundbox drenched like the dew on the morning grass, my face clenching to the pillow. What a nightmare I thought stealing a glance at the clock that read 4:38 am. My idea playing the dream over and over like a bad re-run. I sat up with a sudden intense thirstiness I 've never felt before that erased the dreaming in an instant from my forefront. I rubbed the eternal sleep away not before feeling the heat energy radiating off my face.

Dragging myself to the restroom to wash the remainder of the sleep away, I notice the house seems brighter than normal despite the hour. I reach to remove my impinging 's thought maybe I forgot to take them out, and to my surprise they were n't there and I did n't believe twice about it.

Out of riding habit, I flip the bath luminosity on and almost simultaneously, let out a loud vociferation ; almost a scream as the bright light blinded me. I quickly flip the light off and as if nothing happened my optic adjusted to the darkness immediately. I shook it off and turned the piddle on, gazing at my reflection in the mirror. My jaw dropped as I spot the wound on the ripe slope of my cervix, the dream rushing back like a mislay computer memory. This time at the end of the ambition, I saw the facial expression that sent shivers down my spikelet. Fredrick's.

'' No, '' I heard myself say out garish. `` It ca n't be ! '' I backed away from my reflection, my middle still locked on the wound. `` It was only a dream ! I 'm still dreaming ! '' I feel the wound and to my horror it 's still moist from the line. It 's not a aspiration I thought as I looked at my vesture still damp from the rain with the dried mud stigma on the front of my t-shirt. I looked further down my body and I still have on the same jeans I 've worn to schoolhouse, along with my sneakers, both are begrime with debris.

The light again illuminates the undefined swarthiness, causing me to squall as the burning returns to my center, basking my sight in a sheet of white. I shield the Christ Within with my arm like it was going in for the kill on a battle theater of operations. `` Turn it out ! wrench it out, '' I yell almost in a fit of tears.

'' Bro, you alright ? I heard you screaming and talking to yourself from my way, '' My sister asks in a lenient representative, cutting off the light.

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

'' What do you finger ? '' Her voice never losing the softness.

'' My organic structure feels like it 's on fire. The light somehow blinds me causing a searing pain in the neck. My ... My ... Just wait my hand are shaking for no reason, '' My voice shaky from the fear.

'' Oh my John, your head is scorching, '' Alice claims after resting a hand against my forehead. `` I think you got sick, especially coming dwelling house in those wet wearing apparel and sleeping in them. ``

'' Uh Alice, I do n't retrieve I remember coming habitation earlier, '' I said after a long silence, trying to replay the 24-hour interval events.

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

There was another long break of silence as I again tried to remember my day, but all I can recollect is the burying ground and nothing after that. Suddenly a thumping interference bursts out of no where as I cock my brain listening to the companion sound I could n't perceive at the moment.

'' trick ... '' Alice starts but I put a bridge player up.

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

'' Hear what ? ``

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

Alice gives me a rummy look, `` I think it 's clip for you to get some rest. I 've only been here for a few minutes, but you are seriously acting Wyrd. Not only that but you look terrible. your skin is blanch, you cried when the light was turned on. Your audience noises that are n't there. What else is wrong with you ? Should I get mom and dad first ?

I let out a suspiration, `` Maybe your right field, a little eternal rest will work admiration. '' As I passed Alice, I stopped cold. I caught an aroma I 've never experienced. `` Hey you smell good by the way. Is that a new shampoo or essence you are wearing. ``

She gives me a curious stare, `` No, but you seriously take some eternal rest. ``

I just shrugged it off as Alice dragged me to my room without another word. However sleep did n't come easily due to the monolithic distractions going on in my question. Thoughts of what is wrong with me preoccupied my ability to log Z's. Who was the stranger in the necropolis ? Why did he assail me ? Why am I feeling like shite ? Why ... ? Why ... ? Questions flooded me like H2O bursting through a broken dam. One question kept coming back. What is happening to me ?

***

break of the day came before I knew it. My alarm clock was beeping ; telling me that it is time to get motivated. I cracked my eyes candid slowly, but the second the light touched them, it burned like hell. `` Fuck, '' I mumbled reaching to my bedside table, retrieving a twain of sunglasses and putting them on. I again open my eyes slowly and the trash helped because I could see, and as they adjusted to the brightness level, I looked around curiously. It seemed to me my eyes adjusted better in the dark the former night, then they are doing now. The sun had a contemplation to it that seemed strange, but I could not explain it.

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

I left the lav without a second thought and blow 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 top dog, `` Your lying Hollywood. ``

'' Huh ? ``

'' Come on now, who in their right thinker wear 's sunglasses in the house ; your still pale as a touch. `` She reaches up and places a hand on my forehead, `` Jezz, you feel ice frigidness considering you were burning up last Night, but your telling me your amercement. Who are you trying to fool ? ``

When she touched my forehead, dissimilar emotions flooded my moral sense, and the hunger I 've felt the Nox before came back with a retribution. `` Allie, I 'm ok, trust me. But I am starving like you would n't trust. ``

'' John the Evangelist, 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 bit. I gazed into Alice 's eye and the emotions I felt hit me even stronger.

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

I plopped back down on my bed after brushing pass Alice. My idea about to break loose until my warning device 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 hungriness. The morning goodness of bacon and ballock did little to fill me up. The nutrient not tasting pleasant played a small role.

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

'' Yeah, I know. ``

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

'' The light sunburn my heart, `` I replied nonchalantly.

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

I hesitated for a moment, `` certainly I dead reckoning, but the min 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 light burns and I force my eyes shut. `` Open them. I cant see, '' Alice answer smacking my shoulder. I open my eyes briefly, but the infliction is so bad, I began to deplume as Alice lets out a loud gasp.

'Enough, '' I shout, my eyes feeling like thousands of acerate leaf impaling themselves into me.

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

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

Alice just keeps smiling, `` Wow ! Your middle are the most beautiful refinement 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 aristocratical the ocean is on a clean-cut sunny day ? Well train that for an example except your eyes are a lot ignitor. It 's breathtaking. God I 've never seen something so elegant. ``

'' Uh Alice, I hate to rain on your parade, but you do make love your describing my eye right. Your buddy. It 's a piddling creepy do n't you think ? ``

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

'' nada different sis, but it 's meter to get set for school. So lets get moving. ``

As I was making my way to the bathroom to complete the respite of my morning rite I hear Alice vociferation. `` You should flash those center at school. I guarantee the other girls will fawn over them. Maybe you could actually get a particular date. ``

That gossip lifted my spirits until I gazed into the mirror. I dropped my toothbrush into the sink not believing the scene in front of me, and let out a terrified shriek, knocking the toilet miscellaneous supplies to the floor with a clang. My horrified reaction caused such a meretricious ruckus I did n't acknowledge Alice 's presence until I heard her speak.

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

I did n't answer. My idea was too submerge with confusion, reverence, and mainly skepticism. I reached for the door and slammed it closed on her face, not wanting her to see the good deal that will forever stalk me for the rest of days. All my recent fear came to life. This was not a dream, but the kickoff of a terrifying nightmare. As I gazed into the mirror the Same motion haunted with me. What the hell is happening ?
