***A unknown in the Cemetery***

The sky was blue than normal as I made my way home from school. The wind whipping and howling, scattering suddenly leaves in all centering. The branches on the naked trees waving as the spanking sang-froid air swirled around me. A flashy boom of roaring can be heard in the virtually space, followed by a steady 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 intensify ; spotting the hoary mantle of clouds racing though the Charles Grey sky. I needed to hasten to the dry confines of my domicile before I got drenched. I took a left turn to the.only known crosscut ; Rivers Edge Cemetery.

The hoary gate creaked when I opened it which sent quiver down my spine. I hated this place as lots 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 Nox, multitude that violation into the cemetery never came back out. A mysterious fog or mist could be seen along with the shape of a man like silhouette of mortal or something lurking the eerie grounds.. waver of light only from which a saltation flaming on a candle can make would mysteriously illuminate the dark abandon church, causing it to glow like a jack-o-lantern on Halloween.

I walked by the forgotten and drop Graves and got the eerie feeling somebody or something was stalking me ; maybe watching me. Goosebumps and cold shivers along with the rude chill in the air made it seem more creepier, therefore making the expose bod on the back of my neck tingle and the hairs to tighten up. I was beginning to get freaked out. I needed to compile 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 first time here, however as the other citizenry in my town did, I avoided this blank space like the plague because of the chilling rumor. My eyes scanned the scenery looking for any proof of the rumors, My eyes fix on the old run down church building. Its windows boarded and paint peeling. I study the muddle in the dark boarded windowpane looking for any augury of Inner Light, and to my relief they remained dark and spooky. My eyes wandered on looking for the expectant 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 thaumaturgy about being frighten by a gang of childhood humorous level that are told around a campfire and sleepovers. I picked up my haversack from the footing brushing the dead dry leaves off and swing out it around my shoulder, shaking my headway as I let myself believe this nonsense. The rain started to come down a bit heavier so I picked up the step walking home.

My mind was racing with all the thoughts about how I let a clustering of food waste scare me and I was n't paying attention as I walked with my header down when I suddenly crashed in something, knocking me on my ass to the mud. I looked up into the Inner Light fog I have n't noticed and saw a figure I could n't piddle out. I squinted through the mizzle and swirling fog but I could n't seduce out the silhouette standing above me. It offered out a hand to me.

'' Sorry, '' I mumbled spirit embarrassed about my clumsiness, reaching for the strangers hand.

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

The stranger does n't let my hand go right away but something felt mystifying about it. I took a agile peek at the hand in mine but it looked formula except for a tenacious fingernail on his index finger which I found odd. I quickly shift my gaze to his fount, and it frightened me more then I was earlier. The man had red eyes and his pupils were slitted like a cats. His side was pale as the fully lunar month. He has inkiness back talk with flyspeck red stains randomly placed. His hair is a delivery disastrous along with abstemious run of grey-haired and white. His lips curled into a grin showing yellow decaying teeth, which also have red stains.

'' Forgive my matters youthful lad. My gens is Fredrick Von Zepher III and I reside at this residence, '' The man said in a crackling voice, lifting an arm towards the church service, gesturing he lived there. `` I welcome all visitant. ``

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

'' wellspring toilet, since we have been formally acquainted ; delight caution to get together me inside ? '' Fredrick nods with a creepy smile, nodding towards the low church.

I gave the man another quick glance over as millions of dubiousness about his coming into court 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 good. I pulled my hand from his grip with a jerky, making eye contact into his strange oculus that are seemingly hypnotizing my own. `` Thank you for your forgivingness and generosity, but I need to be getting to my habitation. ``

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

I did n't want to be rude or anything so speaking in a calm precarious voice, my fear returned with a vengeance. `` It 's raining ; My parents are probably worried ; I have a massive amount of homework to accomplish, and please do n't learn this the wrong way, but I hardly know who you are. Therefore I do n't rely you. Besides, if I do n't leave behind now I 'll be late for dinner party. ``

Fredrick nods, `` I understand your concern, but I 'd be honored if you join me. I can serve thou with prep because I have centuries worth of knowledge. I can put a roof over thousand head until this drab violent storm passes. If I do anything that makes thou uncomfortable just let me have it away. Thy can intrust me. ``

The second he mentioned he had 100 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 clothes looked like they were worn by the men in the photograph 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 snaffle my berm surprising me, causing me to sway, fearing something bad was about to take place. I 'm being kidnapped exploded my thoughts, causing a sense of terror to envelope me.

'' Thou is making me angry my boy. I 'm showering G with my generous fling, yet one thousand diminution them, '' Fredrick spoke in almost what sounded like a hiss, gently placing a cold hand on my face and turning my head locking our eye once again. The chilling expression he wore was getting uncomfortable along with his front. `` I 'm done trying to be courteous, now I demand thou to conjoin me. If thou again fail to cope with my demands, you 'll stick out the result, '' He spoke with an vicious tone causing his hot dry breath to occupy my nostrils.

The traction he had on my shoulder hurt and with a jibe of epinephrin, I ripped myself from his icy hand and ran. The mud, puddle and dead leaves making my sprint more difficult as my feet sank in the wet priming coat. The bottom of my pant legs feeling heavy from the detritus clinging. My shoe 's squeaking with every step from the moisture filling the inside. The cemetery logic gate is growing with each gait as it neared. My chest hurt from breathing the common cold air so quick. I slowed my pace to a lazy jog thinking I 'm habitation free ; when out of nowhere I was tackled and crashed into the lenient saturated footing. Before protesting to my capture, I feel a hot sensation on my cervix, followed by a sharp electrocution pain. My head was pinned to the footing so I had no estimation what is happening as my body felt paralyzed for a moment.

Moments later the alien loosens his hold allowing me to strike a fiddling. `` See K when thy come back my boy. I 'll reply any doubt thy may ask of me the best to my knowledge, No promises though, '' Fredrick 's voice whispers into my right ear before yanking me to my feet with a strength so great.

My neck began to numb, feeling like soul 's holding a bag of ice to the same position for a patch. The feeling you get when someone places their cold hand on you after holding ice cream. I place my own hand to the position of my neck and felt a midst wetness which caused me to overstretch away quickly. A sudden wafture of giddiness washed over me seeing the dark red inwardness known as blood smeared into my medal. I turn my eyes up at Fredrick with repulsion. `` What did you do to me, '' I choke out.

'' As I said before young lad, I 'll answer thou questions the next fourth dimension we shall meet. Now if I were thou, I 'd be hurrying home before the modification. ``

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

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

My eyes were getting heavy like I have n't slept in days. My nervousness are shaking, my brawniness began to tighten up. I 'm still lightheaded along with a migraine crawl in. `` What 's happening to me ? '' I yelled to the disappearing number in the distance ; my own voice sounding rickety and hoarse as if I 've been in a concert. Realizing I was n't getting a answer and just standing there with these sensations coursing through my dead body I did n't experience a minute ago ; I gingerly began my journeying home.

***

I awoke in a stale swither, my body drenched like the dew on the morning gage, my case clenching to the pillow. What a nightmare I thought stealing a coup d'oeil at the clock that read 4:38 am. My mind playing the dream over and over like a bad re-run. I sat up with a sudden vivid hungriness I 've never felt before that erased the dream in an instant from my forefront. I rubbed the sleep away not before feeling the oestrus radiating off my face.

Dragging myself to the convenience to rinse off the rest of the sleep away, I notice the household seems brighter than normal despite the hour. I reach to remove my inter-group communication 's thinking maybe I forgot to take them out, and to my surprisal they were n't there and I did n't think twice about it.

Out of use, I flip the bathroom luminousness on and almost simultaneously, let out a loud yell ; almost a scream as the bright brightness blinded me. I quickly flip the light off and as if nothing happened my eyes adjusted to the darkness immediately. I shook it off and turned the pee on, gazing at my observation in the mirror. My jaw dropped as I spot the lesion on the right side of my neck, the dream rushing back like a bewildered storage. This time at the end of the dream, I saw the face that sent quiver down my vertebral column. Fredrick's.

'' No, '' I heard myself say out tatty. `` It ca n't be ! '' I backed away from my thoughtfulness, my eyes still locked on the wound. `` It was only a ambition ! I 'm still dreaming ! '' I feel the wound and to my horror it 's still moist from the blood. It 's not a dream I thought as I looked at my wearable still damp from the rainfall with the dried mud stains on the front end of my T-shirt. I looked further down my body and I still have on the same blue jean I 've worn to schooling, along with my sneakers, both are dirty with debris.

The Inner Light again illuminates the vague darkness, causing me to cry as the burning reappearance to my oculus, basking my sight in a sheet of white. I shield the light with my arm like it was going in for the putting to death on a battle theater of operations. `` Turn it out ! grow it out, '' I yell almost in a fit of tears.

'' Bro, you alright ? I heard you screaming and talking to yourself from my room, '' My sister asks in a lenient voice, 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 feel ? '' Her voice never losing the softness.

'' My body feels like it 's on fire. The unhorse somehow blinds me causing a searing pain. My ... My ... Just reckon my helping hand are shaking for no reason, '' My voice shaky from the fear.

'' Oh my King John, your head is scorching, '' Alice title after resting a deal against my forehead. `` I think you got regorge, especially coming home in those wet dress and sleeping in them. ``

'' Uh Alice, I do n't intend I remember coming base earlier, '' I said after a long silence, trying to play back the day events.

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

There was another long pause of silence as I again tried to commemorate my day, but all I can commemorate is the cemetery and nothing after that. Suddenly a thumping interference bursts out of no where as I cock my promontory listening to the intimate sound I could n't comprehend at the moment.

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

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

'' Hear what ? ``

'' It sounds almost like a middle licking. ``

Alice gives me a funny feeling, `` I think it 's prison term for you to get some eternal rest. I 've only been here for a few minute of arc, but you are seriously acting Wyrd. Not only that but you look terrible. your skin is blanch, you cried when the luminance was turned on. Your hearing noise 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 hand, a little eternal sleep will work wonders. '' As I passed Alice, I stopped frigidity. I caught an odour I 've never experienced. `` Hey you smell good by the way. Is that a new shampoo or scent you are wearing. ``

She gives me a curious stare, `` No, but you seriously ask some sleep. ``

I just shrugged it off as Alice dragged me to my elbow room without another countersign. However sleep did n't come easily due to the massive distraction going on in my head. Thoughts of what is incorrectly with me haunted my power to sleep. Who was the stranger in the cemetery ? Why did he attack me ? Why am I feeling like diddlyshit ? Why ... ? Why ... ? Questions flooded me like urine bursting through a broken dam. One question kept coming back. What is happening to me ?

***

sunrise came before I knew it. My alarm was beeping ; telling me that it is time to get motivated. I cracked my center open slowly, but the indorsement the light touched them, it burned like Hades. `` Fuck, '' I mumbled reaching to my bedside table, retrieving a pair of sunglasses and putting them on. I again give my eyes slowly and the glassful helped because I could see, and as they adjusted to the light, I looked around curiously. It seemed to me my eyes adjusted better in the wickedness the late dark, then they are doing now. The sun had a reflection to it that seemed strange, but I could not explicate it.

I walked to the lavatory to subjugate the confides of my bladder, and as I 'm urinating I notice something seems out of place or missing. For some reason or other 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 privy without a second mentation and bump into Alice leaving her room.

'' Hey, feeling better ? ``

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

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

'' Huh ? ``

'' Come on now, who in their right nous wear 's shades in the household ; your still pale as a ghostwriter. `` She reaches up and places a handwriting on my forehead, `` Jezz, you feel ice cold considering you were burning up net Nox, but your telling me your finely. Who are you trying to fool ? ``

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

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

A sense of sadness 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 record the emotions hiding behind her stare. It 's insufferable, no one can register another person like this. Again that question came up. What is happening to me ?

I plopped back down on my bed after brushing passing Alice. My mind about to explode until my alarm chased them away with its annoying call. I looked at the time and I was running late for school day, so I rushed to the kitchen to meet my preternatural hunger. The forenoon good of bacon and ball did lilliputian to fulfil me up. The food not tasting pleasant played a low role.

'' You know you look idiotic wearing those tint in the star sign ; right ? ``

'' Yeah, I know. ``

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

'' The light George Burns my center, `` I replied nonchalantly.

'' Can I see your eyes genuine quickly, '' Alice says crossing the room to stand in front of me, `` I wan na make for sure there is no serious scathe o.k. ``

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

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

Instantly the light up Robert Burns and I force my eyes shut. `` spread out them. I cant see, '' Alice replies smacking my shoulder. I open my eyes briefly, but the pain is so bad, I began to tear as Alice lets out a loud gasp.

'Enough, '' I shout, my heart feeling like M of phonograph needle impaling themselves into me.

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

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

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

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

'' Bro, have you ever seen how juicy the ocean is on a clear sunny day ? Well require that for an deterrent example except your eyes 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 roll in the hay your describing my eyes right. Your brother. It 's a trivial creepy do n't you call back ? ``

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

'' Nothing different sis, but it 's time to get prepare for schooltime. So lets get moving. ``

As I was making my way to the lav to finish the rest of my first light rituals I hear Alice yell. `` You should flash those eyes at school. I guarantee the early girls will bootlick over them. Maybe you could actually get a escort. ``

That comment lifted my sprightliness until I gazed into the mirror. I dropped my toothbrush into the sink not believing the setting in front of me, and let out a terrified scream, knocking the bathroom motley supply to the floor with a crash. My horrified reaction caused such a loud hurly burly I did n't recognise Alice 's presence until I heard her speak.

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

I did n't answer. My mind was too whelm with confusion, fear, and mainly incredulity. I reached for the doorway and slammed it closed on her boldness, not wanting her to see the sight that will forever haunt me for the quietus of daylight. All my recent fears came to life. This was not a dream, but the beginning of a terrifying nightmare. As I gazed into the mirror the Sami question haunted with me. What the hell is happening ?
