Authors Note: Though this is ONLY the second Chapter, this chaptr was done, completely for fun. I couldn't help it. ;)
Thanks for the wonderful reviews on the first chapter. :)
Sarah and Cerise pulled into the parking lot and got out. They stood next to the car, making plans. "What's base?" Sarah asked, knowing it was the girl's turn. "Um...the big crypt, up there on the little hill." Cerise muttered pointing, as she heard Sands' mustang pull up. The girls turned and saw the boys getting out. "He'll play crooked." Sarah muttered. "We expected that." Cerise replied, hands thrust deep in her pockets. "But it'll be fun." Cerise winked at Sarah. "Yeah, if you like running around a graveyard." Sarah said. "Oh you big baby." Sands replied as he and Sammy stopped at their car. "Here, if you're afraid." Sands handed her a flashlight. Sammy handed Cerise the other and with out another word, the two men walked toward the gate of the cemetery. Cerise and Sarah looked at eachother then followed.
They stopped just inside the gate, Sands and Sammy turned to her. "You've got a count of 30 and unlike you, Sheldon, I'm not cheating. The crypt on that hill," She pointed, "Is base" Cerise said. She and Sarah turned their backs. "One... Two... Three..." Sammy and Sands took off. Sammy dodged towards the older section of the graveyard. Sands headed towards the larger stones and ducked behind on. "Thirty!" Cerise yelled after a moment. She and Sarah headed into the cemetery, breaking off. Sarah headed towards the back, shinning the light all around, she didnt' like cemeteries.
Cerise walked carefully, muttering to herself. She didn't realize, Sands was following her, crouching low behind the gravestones. So much for Hide and Seek. He was going to play his own game. She continued to walk along, light infront of her. She was figuring Sands would be hiding in the area with the larger stones. Sands dodged out behind on stone and ran with as little sound as he could make to the stones on her other side. Cerise spun, shinning the light. She wasn't big on playing in a graveyard. Sands ducked behind a stone, snickering. Cerise shivered outwardly and turned back to the path, muttering.
Sarah walked along, humming to distract herself. "Sarah...' A voice called. Sarah stopped completely. "Sammy, STOP IT!" She yelled. "You're not scaring me!" "Sarah..." She glared into the darkness. "Sarah..." "God, I hate this!" She hissed, and decided to keep walking.
Cerise walked behind a few stones and looked up and down the way, trying to spot Sands. "You can be such a ruddy bastard." She muttered. Sands picked up a rock, from where he was crouched. Then he threw it in Cerise's direction. Cerise snapped her head up and glared. "All right Sands. You can quiet playing games!" She called out, but got no answered. She began moving towards where the rock had come from, but Sands dodged into some more stones. Cersie looked around and shook her head.
"Sarah..." Sarah decided she was going to take another approach. She began walking towards base. But who ever it was, was following her. "I hope you two think this is fun! Cause Cerise and I are picking what we do next!" She yelled. "Sarah..." She began the short climb towards the crypt.
Cerise saw Sarah heading towards the crypt and decided maybe that was the best way to do it. She began heading towards the crypt, when her foot hit something and she slammed into the ground, the flashlight hitting the ground and breaking. "Shit!" She swore, rolling over on to her back, her knee felt like it was bleeding and there was a sharp pain. She lay there on her back glaring at the stars. She heard movement to her left and lifted her head. Sands came out from behind a tomb stone and approached, his hands in his pockets. "Happy now?!" She snapped on him. "Does this mean you can't run?" He asked with a grin. "Fuck you." He grinned more, but crouched down beside her. There wasn't any light, but he could see her knee.
Sarah approached the crypt, shinning the light on it. The door was broken in. There was graffiti all over it. "That's nice." She muttered. "What?" She jumped with a scream, turning to see Sammy standing there. "Damn it!" She socked him in the shoulder. "I was just asking!" "Don't sneak up on me!" She snapped. Sammy laughed, but rubbed his shoulder. "Was that you trying to scare me?!" She demanded. "When?" "All the callign of my name." Sammy raised an eye brow. "Well then it must have been Jeff." Sarah muttered, turning to look around the cemetery.
Sands leaned closer to look at Cerise's knee as she sit up. "You've scrapped it up pretty bad." He said. "Yeah, and it feels like I twisted it. Help me up." Sands stood and grabbed around her waist, hoisting her up. She leaned on him, as they moved towards the crypt. But she stopped suddenly. "What?" Sands looked "You didn't hear that?" She asked. "Hear what?" "The voice?!" Sands gave her a blank look. "It was probably Sammy." "Yeah, then why's Sammy up there with Sarah?" She pointed up the crypt. Sands looked then looked back at her. "Ceris,e I think you're getting paranoid." "Well, when you're in YOUR company, that's easy to happen." She muttered. Sands gave her a look.
"There's Sands and Cerise." Sammy said, an arm wrapped around Sarah's waist. "Good, I want to GO!" Sarah stated. Sammy chuckled. They started down the hill towards the other two. When Sarah stopped completely. "Now what?" Sammy asked. "Sammy, I just heard...There's someone ELSE here with us... THERE HAS TO BE!" Sarah looked at Sammy with large eyes. Sammy looked around, before taking the flashlight from Sarah and shinning it around. "Sarah, it's empty. It's only us four and the dead." Sarah shivered.
"You know, the dead can't hurt you." Sands said as he helped Cerise along the path. "You might regret saying that, one of these days." Cerise whispered, she was trying to listen for the voice she'd heard as they made their way towards Sarah and Sammy. But when she heard it this time, she knew Sands had heard it. Sands stopped walking and stood very still, his head cocked to the side. "What's up?" Sammy asked as he and Sarah joined them, but Sands held up a hand, striking Sammy to silence. He turned his head more. "Someone's singing..." He said after a moment. "Are you sure you didn't leave the radio on in the mustang." Sammy said, raising an eyebrow.
"I hear it too..." Cerise muttered. "It's an old song. I mean, VERY old." Sarah whispered, looking over her shoulder. "Guys, it could be anything." Sammy said. "I wanna know what it is!" Sands wrenched the flashlight from Sammy's hand and shinned it back towards the older part of the cemetery. "I'm not going back there." Cerise said firmly. "Me neither." Sarah muttered. "Then you two stay here." Sands said. "With out light?!" Sarah nearly cried. Sands rolled his eyes and took a mini mag light out of his pocket, handing it to Cerise.
Then he grabbed Sammy's arm, pulling him towards the back of the cemetery. "Sands, do you really think..." "I think someone's fucking around and I intend to find out." He stated. Sammy sighed, pulling his jacket tighter. "I hope you're right." "Getting scared, Iokie?" Sands asked. "I just..." Sammy trailed off. "Look, you learn things when you have a Japanese grandmother, you don't fuck around with the supernatural." Sands snorted, shaking his head. "I dont' believe you, Sammy, you're the rational one." Sammy frowned and grabbed Sands arm, stopping him and turning him towards him.
"Sands, I've seen things, you couldn't even BEGAN to comprehend. There are things in this world tha shouldn't be messed with. Do you understand me?" Sands gave Sammy a look. "We're just going to have a look around, then we'll leave, all right big baby?" Sammy shook his head and sighed. "Alright." They started walking. Now Sammy heard the voice. It sounded like a woman's voice singing a very old song. More like a sea song.
Sarah helped Cerise sat down on a stone bench. "I hate this." Sarah muttered. "Let them mess around. The sooner Sheldon gets it out of his curiosity, the sooner we can leave." Cerise said softly. "Hasn't he ever heard the saying, 'Curiosity Killed The Cat'?" "Yeah, but satisfaction brought it back." Cerise said with a grin. "Yeah well..." Sarah sit down on the bench next to Cerise, only to stand up at once with a yelp. She turned around wided eyed. "What?" Cerise asked. "Someone just grabbed me!" Sarah looked at Cerise, Cerise looked at her, then over her shoulder. There was nothing behind them.
Sands and Sammy walked up and down the isles of grave stones. Every time they thought they were going to get close to the voice, it seemed to becoming from the other end. "Satisfied?!" Sammy asked finally, irritation in his voice. Sands frowned but shrugged. "Let's go, it's getting cold." They turned and headed back towards where they'd left Sarah and Cerise. As they walked along, Sammy glanced over his shoulder. He suddenly stopped, grabbing the flashlight from Sands' hand. "What?!" Sands snapped, turning to see what was going on. As he did, he saw the mist rising from the ground behind them. "It's mist, natural occurrence for this time of year." He snapped at Sammy. "I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about THAT!" Sammy shinned the light. Near the back where they had been the mist had risen to at least five feet and Sands could just make out a figure in it. "We're leaving." Sands stated, not wanting to hang around. "What?" Sammy looked at him. "We are leaving NOW!" Sands broke out into a run, Sammy close behind him.
Sarah came to her feet again at the sound of pounding footsteps and Sands and Sammy came into view. "What's going on?" She asked, looking at them both. Sammy stopped to explain. Sands sprinted over to Cerise, he stopped, looking back over his shoulder. The mist was following them. "It seems this place may be haunted." Sammy said to Sarah. "Nah, ya think!?" Sarah snapped, shivering. "Can we just go?!" "Yes!" Sammy and Sands both answered. Sands grabbed Cerise around the waist and hoisted her to her feet.
They began walking at brisk walk towards the gate. But when they were with in three feet of it, the gate slammed shut on them. Sarah screamed. Cerise jumped. Sammy spun, shinning the light. The mist was coming closer, but he didn't see the figure. "Alright.." Sands said calmly, "We'll climb over the wall." Cerise looked at him, then at the four foot wall. "You expect me to get over that?!" She snapped at him. "I'll help you." He said collectedly. "Let's just go!" Sarah cried, on the verge of tears. Sammy took her hand.
Sammy was the first to try and scale the wall. But he couldn't seem to get on the large flat area. "I told you!" He snapped at Sands. "I told you not to be fucking around with the supernatural!" Sarah leaned on Cerise, and began crying. "Stop it, Sammy!" Cerise snapped. "Stop what?!" "Just stop scaring Sarah for one!" Sands shinned the flash light around. The mist was all over the cemetery then and he swore he heard someone walking. "Fuck this shit!" He snapped, turning to the gate and walking over. As he did, he pulled his gun from it's holster and let of a series of bullets.
Somewhere in the back of the cemetery, a woman's scream pierced the air. It sounded hurt and angry. Sarah screamed her self. Sammy grabbed her. A rush of wind began blowing from all angles, shaking the gate and blasting them with freezing wind. Sarah buried her face in Sammy's shirt. Cerise shivered, looking around. Even Sammy's eyes were wide. Sands seemed furious. "Look!" He screamed over the wind. "We are SORRY for coming in and interrupting your idea of a nap, ALRIGHT?! Now just LET US OUT!"
All at once, the wind stopped, the mist receded and the gates swung open slowly with a deafening creak. Sammy stared at Sands. Sands just holstered his gun and grabbed Cerise, so she could lean on him. "Let's go Sammy." Sands said simply, starting out of the cemetery. Sammy stared after him a moment, before grabbing Sarah around the legs and pickign her up, sprinting after the other two.
When they got out side the cemetery, the gates swung back with a violent snap. "I get it, I get it!" Sands replied to the sound. "We'll stay away." He rolled his eyes. "You're talking to the cemetery..." Sammy said slowly. "No, I'm talking to HER." Sands pointed. Sammy and Sarah turned. At the gate, was a tall woman in white, she was giving them the look of a mother who was irritated but amused at her children. "Who is she?!" Sammy asked, looking back at Sands. "Kathryn, she tends to get irritated if we mess around TO much." Sands answered, leaning against Sarah's car, and taking a cigarette out. His arm was still around Cerise's waist and she leaned on him. "How do you know?!" Sarah demanded. Sands sighed and glanced at the gates. Kathryn was retreating, but she stopped to look at Sands with an amused look and winked. "I just know, alright." Sands answered as he lit the cigarette.
A few minutes later, they were headed for a 24 hour cafe. Sammy was riding with Sarah, because Sarah was very annoyed with Sands. So Cerise was sitting next to Sands in his mustang. "How did you know Kathryn?" Cerise asked after a moment of silence. Sands snorted, tapping his ashes off out the window. "When I was sixteen a few friends and I got in there around this time of night. We were....defacing a few gravestones and she got very annoyed with us. She locked us in the cemetery, and scared the shit out of us. Then told us, when dawn was almost, not to come back until we'd learned respect for the dead." Cerise stared at him. "You're kidding me!" Sands just shrugged. "Ask my grandmother about it sometime." He said simply, turning a corner. Cerise shook her head They'd decide at the cafe, what else they'd do tonight, but she had the feeling they were far from done.
