Graveyard Dance Novels & Stories

When he realized I hadn't relaxed any, he asked me to dance. I was about to decline his offer when I saw a dark, forest green next to me. Nathan stepped onto the dance floor with Claire in tow, pulling her close to his chest. Anger and jealously bubbled in my chest at the sight. I just wanted to go over to them and tear them apart, sticking a foot-long branch between them.

Can't believe I just had my first drink of alcohol ’ I thought. When in got inside the club, there I saw about five hundred human body's dancing around. Some people were grinding into each other that even my finger couldn't have fit between them. There were so many people that it was difficult to step in. Lydia held my hand as she pushed us among the crowd, we had to get bar but it wasn't until our grind with the others. Finally we got to the bar, I was already feeling dizzy. I felt like dancing to the song that was playing ‘no dulling’ by Keche featuring Kwami Eugene. So I got up and started dancing and this was also the first time I was dancing with so many people.

I can forgive you for that, forgive me and come back to me. Amanda sobbed and cried, wanting to hit Roberth, and struggled to keep her balance as she moved into the garden. However, the alcohol had clouded her judgment, and she ended up falling and twisting her ankle. Roberth watched everything, shaking his head in denial. Their lives were a comedy and a tragedy at the same time. A treacherous ex-girlfriend, a scoundrel of a father who only thinks about money, a narcissistic and absent mother, a supposed fiancée he didn't really know...

They both run away from the dance floor as fast as possible. We laugh as we begin to move and are soon joined by Klunk and his date, who I think is named Jules. I can’t possibly keep up with these guys changing females every night. She’s definitely still only human too, no animal vibes at all which means she’s also young. I think she’s only in ninth grade! After four songs I’m beat and ready for a cold drink. I’m more than happy to find Travis waiting with some fruit punch for me and I fall into his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

I shrugged. We chatted about Shadow Killer, ate our sandwiches, and talked about our routine for tonight. We aren't usually nervous dancing in front of people, but it was weird to be asked to dance at a mating anniversary. We have no idea what a mating anniversary is, but we guessed that it was like a wedding anniversary. We hoped that we were right, I had picked a song that represents love and that is always a good thing. We only dance to urban music, which I honestly can't see any urban music listeners from what I have seen so far. We may end up with people looking at us like we're crazy, but oh well. I choreographed the dance, she wanted something meaningful, so I choose dangerously in l

Not that I would need to show it; I look exactly the same as his boss just a little bulkier, more handsome. “Happy birthday,” Ghost says, patting me on the back before the double doors to the dance floor open, and the music engulfs us. I don’t reply to his wishes. He knows how I feel about my birthday, and he sure as fuck knows I am here for Grace, not for me or for my brother. As we walk past the sea of people already gathered in the middle of the dance floor, I start regretting coming here. Couples grinding their bodies against each other, single women trying to get the attention of men standing by the bar…

I took the male leads as I was still the only male in choir. “Off with your head…D-dance-dance-dance 'til you're dead…O-off-off-off with your head…D-dance-dance-dance 'til you're dead….O-off-off-off with your head…… It's close to midnight…And something evil's lurking in the dark…Under the moonlight…You see a sight that almost stops your heart…You try to scream…But terror takes the sound before you make it (Heads will roll, heads will roll)…You start to freeze…As horror looks you right between the eyes…You're paralyzed…… 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night…And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike…You know it's thriller, thriller night…You're fighting for your life inside

“Dude, are you going to save her?” Steele asked, looking at us. “Nope. She got herself into that mess, she can get herself out of it.” Maddox was enjoying the show. However, the song changed to Grind on Me by Pretty Ricky. Jo completely shoved Cade out of the way and pulled me against her. Vivian, Brett, Willow, and a handful of other people gathered around to dance. I could feel Maddox’s eyes on my ass as I made sure to move right on the beat. Slowly and pushing it out.

I shot a quick text to Gaia, who had been extremely busy planning the Halloween dance as well as beginning the winter formal plans. Hey Gi, did you still want to get dairy shack after the dance? After firing the text I turned my attention to Edward, who was carefully selecting music on his phone that was connected to the aux. The music that began to slide out of the speakers was a song I had stuck in my head the entire day, which happened to be Migraine by twenty one pilots. "Wait do you actually listen to them, or is it because of me?" I turned my whole body in the seat to look at him.

Half-buried in weeds. I turned, walked back to the car, and popped the trunk. A sledgehammer sat inside. Gift from a renovation company. Ribbon still tied on. Bright. Almost a joke. I grabbed it, walked back, and stopped in front of the headstone. Taking a breath, I tightened my grip around the cold metal. Then I swung. All in. Smashed it down. Crash. The sound ripped through the empty grounds. Bang. Again. And again. Until it was nothing but broken rubble.
