Ooh! Let's do a horror fic!!!!! I'm not sure if it's good. So review nicely. -glares at flamers-
It was a new town, a new time to explore.
A new time to be running after Luffy on another one of his hair brained plans.
"Luffy! Slow down!" Zoro shouted, turning the corner.
The boy looked at Zoro. "Awe, I thought we were gonna race to the bar." he said, putting his hands on his hips.
Zoro shook his head.
"No, it takes away from the drinking experience. If your too thirsty, booze tastes like water. Then, you can't taste yourself getting drunk off your ass." he explained.
Luffy stared blankly at Zoro.
"You zoned me out didn't you?"
"Pretty much"
The two sat down in the bar, looking around at the damp atmosphere. "Well, once I'm in my happy place, this will look like La-la land." Zoro said, patting Luffy on the back.
Zoro was in the middle of his sixth drink when a man burst through the door. He was drenched in the rain , which had started about 15 minutes ago. By then all the Straw Hats were gathered at the bar.
But back to the man...
"I heard her! The heiress of Nocturnal Hill!" he shouted.
The locals froze. "What did it sound like?"
The man ruffled his brown hair, sending drops of rain water flying.
"I was paying respects to a fellow I knew, when I heard a cold eerie sound. It sounded like she was crying. Scared the daylights outta me, it did." he said, waving his arms frantically.
Luffy scratched his head. "What's the heiress of Nocturnal Hill?" he asked innocently.
The bar tender walked over to Luffy, a bit surprised.
"Boy, it's the scariest thing in these parts of the Grand Line ,it is." talking with one of those accents where everything ends with it is.
Zoro snorted. "Ha! What's so scary about this heiress?" he said, guzzling down his drink. The other Straw Hats leaned in, knowing they were about to hear a story.
The locals just huddled together, frightened as a two years olds hearing about an evil Elmo.
The bar keeper sighed, and set down a glass. "My boy, it happened 10 years ago."
"Our town was a peaceful one. Nothing ever happened. Until the marines came. They were particularly angry because they didn't catch the pirate they almost had. So they assumed he was in our town"
Luffy leaned in closer, while Zoro tried not to laugh at the sight of Usopp and Chopper holding each other in fear.
"They killed dozens. But there was one little girl who had it the worst. She and her mother were out in town when A marine shot her.
The girl, who then was only 7, said she would never leave her mother's side. And so, she carried her mother into the cemetery , up on Nocturnal Hill. She buried her mother herself and sat by the grave.
And she hasn't left the cemetery for 10 years." the bar keeper said, pointing out the window.
"No one saw her leave. And no one saw her there. But there are strange noises at night. Horrible, moaning sounds from that hill.
Some say she's dead, some say she's fighting for her life, others say her spirit is still guarding her mother. But whoever disturbs that grave... never comes back."
Usopp let out a yelp as Sanji tapped him on the shoulder.
"Oi Usopp! Come down from that light!"
Usopp eased down from the light, sitting on one of the bar stools.
Chopper shook with fright. "Well, it's ok. We never have to go there anyway." he said, reassuring himself.
"Right Luffy?"
But Luffy had that look in his eye, the one that only meant trouble.
"Let's go." he said, heading from the door.
He swung it open, letting the rain and howling wind whip through the bar.
"Where are we going?" Zoro asked, already having an idea of the answer.
The captain turned to his crew. His straw hat casting a cold shadow over his gleaming eyes.
"Nocturnal Hill"
