-For the moment you can't go to Jay's," he says. I half pouted. -But it's just that I... -Sam, understand, it's very dangerous. I wasn't really going to convince Brandon to go to Jay's so I won't keep insisting, when Jay leaves my house -if he does- then I will go with him. I don't want to be separated from Jay anymore ever, the only thing that keeps me going for now is him and the great love I feel. His love gives me strength to be brave and not crumble in the face of this. -Okay, I won't go," I lied, "but tell me, who is that person who can help us? -Look, do you remember that at school they used to say that it used to be a cemetery there? I nodded. -Yes, everyone knows that. It was terrif

Would she find her happily ever after somewhere in the bosom of Selene the moon goddess? My meditation was interrupted by the arrival of the black hearse. I watched pallbearers carry the casket from the hearse to the burial site, where the body of whoever this hole was bored for would rest. I walked deeper into the graveyard. Memories flooded my brain as I did so. I stopped at the innermost part of the graveyard, I noticed that most of the headstones were damaged and faded with the passage of time. I can tell that the graveyard was more than 150 years old by some of the legible inscriptions. There’s an inscription of a man who died in 1861. He probably lived in an era where there was no tele

So when I finally noticed the dark man in the cemetery, it was almost a relief to shift my attention to someone I knew nothing about, someone who made me nervous but captivated my thoughts even more than my grief. And I'm guilty all over again... ** I pull my mom's old Volvo in to an already packed school parking lot but manage to find a space all the way in the back. Aunt Kelly thought it was the safest of the no-longer-needed vehicles; it was also the one I was most used to driving. Every time I get in I feel closer to Mom and in a morbidly weird way, I kind of like that it still smells like her. I reach over to grab my backpack from the passenger seat, startling when I see Skylar standing

Amy bends to pick up the books and gazes up for a moment at the place where she is most out of her element—she didn’t have any element to begin with, she tells herself. A sign at the entrance of the school reads in gleaming paint and well-ordered lettering: VALLEY HIGH. A few months ago, some graduating students had gotten a ladder and had added the words, ‘of the Shadows of Death’ to the school sign, making it the Valley of the Shadows of Death High School. Amy thinks it ironic, and although the paint had already been cleaned off and the sign repainted—even though the students were never caught—you could still make out the washed-out painted scrawl should you ever decide to search for it on

We left the dead guard in the hallway and headed down toward the forbidden areas of the school. We sneaked down the steep, narrow steps until we reached the underground cemetery. The air down here was freezing, thick with the heavy stench of rot and death. We searched through the dark stone vaults until we found them. Six bodies were laid out in a hidden corner. My stomach churned as I looked at them. The first one was the headmaster's rotting body, his flesh turning gray. Next to him were two other instructor's bodies, I recognized them immediately as Randy and Baron.

He hugged the young woman, tightly. "I'm not ready to go. I don't want to die yet. I'm afraid." Emily cried. Death tightened his hug, providing more warmth to Emily. "I'll be with you. Don't be afraid." Emily hugged Death, still shoving her face on his chest. Her casket is now being submerged on the excavated soil. It slowly sank into the pit hole until it disappears form the sight of everyone. Kendra took one final peak before waving goodbye to her friend. Right after the burial ceremony, everyone went back to their homes. Emily's parents stayed for a while. Several men covered the hole where Emily's casket submerged.

The Moon Goddess watched over them, guiding their steps as they traversed treacherous terrain and braved unforgiving elements. Finally, they arrived at a forgotten graveyard nestled deep in the heart of a secluded valley. The tombstones stood weathered and worn, their inscriptions faded with time. Yet one grave, stood out amongst the rest, adorned with moonlit flowers that bloomed even in the darkest of nights. It was here, beneath the ancient oak tree, that Sable's father lay at eternal rest. As they approached the grave, a sense of both anticipation and apprehension filled the air. The weight of their quest was almost tangible, as if the very earth held its breath. Sable knelt by her fathe

James murmured to himself. After checking the time, he put a hand to his forehead in exasperation at his forgetfulness. He had been too anxious. Celeste was probably still at kindergarten. He grabbed the treats again and drove over to wait outside the kindergarten. Children began to come out one after another, but Celeste never appeared. James got out of the car and headed in. One of the teachers on duty, Mindy Gibson, recognized him immediately. "Hello there. Liam isn't here today," Mindy said.

Thin wires dangled overhead, some long dead, some faintly alive, carrying a low, electric hum. Maris whistled under her breath, though even she kept her voice to the smallest possible sound. “It’s… a graveyard,” she murmured. “But for secrets.” Crane stepped past her, his expression unreadable in the dim glow of the lights that flickered on as the motion sensors caught them. “Not just secrets. Histories. Every scandal they buried. Every deal they erased. Every death they hid.” His voice tightened. “This is where corporations go to make sure the world never remembers.”

"Just get in." The car sped the whole way. After one and a half hours, they arrived in front of Grace's tombstone. That was not the Ford family's family plot. That was a big piece of burial ground Sebastian had specially bought for the Summer family. Sebastian's maternal grandparents, a few uncles, as well as a few aunts were laid to rest there. Later on, his mother was also buried there. After that, Holden was also laid to rest next to their mother.
