Blood on the Moon
A/n: It's a little late but it's a Halloween Fic. This is based off of the Halloween radio play we did in drama.

Blood on the Moon
The night air was thick with fog and the smell of silly string, eggs and bologna. On their way home from trick-or-treating, after changing out of their Halloween costumes, Umi, Fuu and Hikaru began to walk to the nearest house, Fuu's.
"Let's take a short cut through the cemetery, it'll be quicker." said Umi as she began to walk toward the gate of the graveyard. There was the sound of soft, padding feet and ghostly humming heading toward the three who had already opened the gate.
"I wouldn't go in there girls, not on this night. That old dog might get you." said the voice of an old woman. Umi sent her a glare before,
"Look! We're just going to go through here to get to my friend's house. So back off and leave us alone!" Umi snapped. The woman smirked.
"Go ahead girls, write your own death certificates..." the woman said. The knights turned away from her before they heard the woman speak in a low, unearthly voice.
"When the moon is high and the trees are bare, enter the graveyard if you dare. Where tombstones rot and corpses fester, beware of the wolf, as sly as a jester. Winds will howl, gates will creek, may this be your final leap. Take this warning with great care, or you may lose more than any dare. The wolf is strong and has never been weak. Doth this warning as a thing to heed. If you do enter, leave with great speed." Umi sent another glare at the woman before marching into the graveyard dragging Hikaru and Fuu with her.
"Miss Umi, I think we should take that woman's warning. It does seem dangerous." said Fuu. Umi scoffed.
"We're the magic knights! We'll be fine; we fought monsters scarier then what that lady was trying to pull! Let's go!" Hikaru nodded simply while Fuu heaved a sigh. The baying of wolves in the distance met the ears of Hikaru.
"Did you guys hear that?" asked Hikaru. Umi and Fuu shook their heads.
"You guys, look at this tombstone, it's so creepy." Umi said bending in front of a grave.
Look beyond what you see, look beyond that bleeding tree. The one that got me will kill you, exit quickly or welcome to your deaths... Kyoko Sasukae 1956-1999.
Atop of the grave was a picture of the person it belonged to. Her hair was a dark red color, slightly graying, her eyes were a bright green and she wore a black dress.
"She looks like that woman we saw not to long ago." Fuu said. The baying wolf sounded closer.
"Okay, now I heard it. Let's get out of here." said Umi moving along quickly. The girls froze as they saw it, a bleeding tree. If that didn't unnerve them, then Umi's mischievous smirk would...
Umi leaned down to where her mouth was closer to Hikaru's ear as she began sing in a low, ghostly voice.
"One, two Freddy's coming for you. Three, four better lock your door. Five, six -" Hikaru gave a loud scream before Umi could finish, scaring both Fuu and Umi. A baying wolf sounded close. Extremely close. So close, they could feel the breath of the wolf on their necks. They could smell the rancid smell of rotted flesh and bones and they could hear a jingling of bells, like those on a jester hat. Hikaru took a look behind her before turning back sharply.
"Y-you guys, w-we should go now..." Hikaru said voice shaking with fear as she was. The other two knights looked behind Hikaru and all three gave an ear-piercing scream. They ran. The wolf gave chase with loud barking following the girls.
Twin girls, ghosts, sat by a grave watching the girls with interested faces.
"Maybe we should help," said one. The other shook her head, before disappearing and popping up in front of the running knights. The twin appeared next to her sister and the two said in a sweet, ghostly voice.
"Come play with us." The magic knights ran through the twin ghosts in sheer terror as they made way for the nearest exit. The wolf gave a howl that would make even the toughest of lions cower in fear.
There was a creaking of a gate, followed by its slamming. The old woman smirked watching the three girls run frightened toward Fuu's house.
"I warned you girls, you should've listened..." she said and disappeared with a last look at three open graves...
---The End...Or is it?
a/n: Eh, not as good as I expected. But, review...
