Grim Reaper Hunted!
It was 8:00pm in the early night of a Friday. Owls hooted as I came back from my tuition. "so eerie!" I thought to myself. I got to the steep street that brings me to my 2-story flat. We had a good flat except for the fact that there was a noisy building construction site nearby. My father did not like the house much but still bought it for some reason I don't know. As I was walking along the street tugging at my wheeled bag, I turned to take a look at the construction site. It was big, fenced and there was a note on the gate. "Beware!! A place for the next boring world. Do not step on free moving skeletons". I just could not stop my giggles. As I walked, I threw my sight once again towards the building site. I was screaming and running in seconds after as what I saw was something white moving behind the fence. Could that be a ghost?!!
One week passed, I forgot my "ghost" encounter completely. I went out of my tuition as usual and walked towards home. The construction site too came and I saw actually they were building fence for the cemetery hich was already there. Outside the gate of the cemetery found something shining and when I bend to see what it was, I was taken back for a moment. It was a lucky charm in a smiling skeleton shape. I shuddered and wondered for a moment and then decided to take it to my home to keep it.
I thought of telling my mom about it but later was afraid she might scold me for taking things from the ground. How can I tell her that I got attracted to it unknowingly? I wanted to keepsake it and went to my room and took out a paper and wrote:
- 10th Jan - Ghost encounter
- 17th Jan - Lucky(?) charm found outside the cemetery is now in my drawer.
I put them in my drawer and went back to my routine.
Another week went off with my usual trips to school and back home. I never came across the cemetery as it was not on my way to school. Friday came again and I was coming back the same route. Now there is no more construction site. Something made me feel like going in the cemetery to see for myself.
Curiosity? May be! That was the biggest mistake! While was walking through slowly, I heard faint noises from far. Suddenly the tree in front of me moved. Some words where being engraved in the bark of the tree. It said:
From DEATH MASTER!
You are about to die now!. anyway if you run away alive, your charm would be gone. As you would have no evidence, now let me show you my power!!
After I read the last few words, the tree fell and wind blew strong and hard. Skeletons dug themselves out of the mud lunging at me with their sharp bones. I ran out, dodging them one by one. Suddenly an ear-piercing yell made its way to me when I was almost outside of the cemetery. "We will meet again!!!"
I screamed and ran much more faster and was panting too hard with a whiter face that that of a ghost.
I ran to the drawer the first thing after I entered home and rummaged through my items. I sighed thinking Death Master words were true!
When I went to School next, I was sitting thinking hard about my encounter during lunch time. I wondered with whom I can share about all this and get some help or advice. My friend Kit Kai came to my mind and I immediately started to look for him. After telling him all, he said he will help me as he knew what to do.
We booked appointment between ourselves for next Sunday. Kit Kai and myself,armed with 10 daggers 5 potions, and 25 hammers for the skeletons and 15 big cans of fish, set out bidding farewell to our parents.
As we trudged towards the cemetery , I remembered the Death master's words.. "We will meet again!"
As we neared, suddenly, Kit Kai stopped at the gate of the cemetery and said "I do not want to do this" in a shivering voice backing off. Before I could say anything, he took off. My face turned bright red. I was angry, very angry. I went in fuming, "Kit Kai left me crying on my own?? I took my hammer and went in brave on the outside, shivering on the inside. Four skeletons got hit from my hammer even though they all came in the same time. I heard a mocking noise after. It was the grim reaper. For the first time I saw him with terror in my eyes. He was bigger than me. Lot bigger than me actually. I took my dagger and ran towards him. Stabbed him in the heart and yelled at him "this is for mocking and making me mad!"
I ran as fast as I can towards my house and closed the door and lied down covering myself with my blanket. My shivering could not stop until the next day.
I took out my paper and wrote
- 26th Jan - Grim Reaper hunted! Brave Me!
