Sorry this is so short. Oh well, the next chapter is longer. I hope you like it. It is my first Goosebumps fic. I have another in the Ella Enchanted section. It is called Jessica's Quest. Please r/r both of my stories. Flames, praise, anything welcome, as long as you review. Pant, pant. On with the story! Kat
"Stay away from the graveyard," the strange old man on the street rasped. "Stay away…"
I don't know what it was about that queer man's warning, but from then on, I decided to stay as far away from the graveyard as possible. I even rerouted my way to school! But, one day at school, all my caution went to waste.
"Well class," my teacher, Mr. Wallis, said brightly. "For our fourth grade Save the Earth project, we will clean out our local cemetery, Whispering Willows Cemetery." Whispering Willows is the one I had been trying to avoid all this time. I raised my hand to tell him I couldn't go, when the bully, Butch, poked me in the back with his pencil.
"Scared, ah, Lawson?" he jeered. Yes, I was, but I couldn't tell Butch that. I started to defend myself, but then I got called on.
"Yes, Shelly?" he asked cheerfully. I needed to think of an excuse fast!
"Uh, can I get a drink of water?" I asked quickly. He nodded, and I quickly made my escape to the hall. I leaned against the water fountain. What was I going to do? I took a small sip of the cool water to calm my shaking knees. I couldn't "get" sick; it was a weeklong project.
I walked back into the classroom and slipped silently in to my seat. On my desk, in the squiggly scrawl of a ghost, were the words:
I WILL GET YOU!
Sorry this is so short. I have a long next chapter waiting for you all, but that is assuming I get a lot of reviews (hint, hint). Plus, I thought this is a good cliffhanger. Please read my Jessica's Quest story also!!!!!!!!!!
Luv, Kat
