The Pond

By: Chareese E. Livingston

(Misty and Carla have been friends ( since they were little ) for years . They've never had a problem with anything . One night things don't go as they planned ; they blame each other for it . They End up near a pond on a Road . They had no idea that it was haunted . Misty doesn't believe in ghosts and demons . Carla does believe in ghosts and demons after running into three ghosts and one demon that night . It was a night they will never forget . )

Misty and Carla’s car ran out of gas, on their way to a Halloween party. Misty blames Carla. Carla doesn’t like it. She got out of the car and slammed her door. “You should’ve told me the party was cancelled. “She walked halfway up Riddler Rd. Three ghosts and something tall, dark, and evil appeared in front of her. “Stay away from the pond. “ the ghosts and dark figure say in unison. “What pond? I’m looking for a gas station. “Carla said as she takes three steps back. “Stay away from the pond! “Carla turned around and ran down Riddler Rd. “Amah!” she screams. Misty can hear her. “Why are you screaming Carla? “

“The pond is haunted! “Misty pushed Carla and laughed. “I don’t believe in ghosts. “Carla knew what she saw and heard; although no one was at the pond . They end up fighting ; despite of their friendship . A old woman pulled up and broke up their fight . " Why are you fighting Misty ? "

" Grandma . " she doesn't recognize her at first . " It's dark I could barely see you . " How did you find us ? " Carla said . Misty's grandma laughed and said " You put the Halloween party flyer on my bed . " When ? " " Three days ago . "

" I got a text three days ago . The party was cancelled . Kind of strange . "

" Are u lying ? "

"No ." They both look at Carla .

" It wasn't me . I've been scared enough . "

" What scared you ? " Carla turns around and looks at the road .

" There's a haunted pond 20 feet from here . "

" Haunted ? " says a young guy in the distance .

" Aah ! " They screamed as he walked toward them .

" I'm not going to hurt you . " he said

" Who are you ? " says Misty

" I'm Bryson , I grew up , two blocks from here . "

" You know the ghosts and the tall, dark , figure ? "

" Tall, dark , figure ? "

" Something tall and dark stood beside the ghosts . "

" I heard of children that played at the pond . "

" Really ? "

" It might be them , I never heard or saw something tall and dark on this road . "

" I know what I saw and heard ; they stared at me , it stared and said " Stay away from the pond . "

" IDK . I don't believe in that stuff . I'm a good guy . "

Carla's eyes tear up .

" Why are the three of you on this road ? "

Misty Grandma spoke " Carla didn't put gas in the car and the party was cancelled."

" I can take the three of you home . " his expression changes .

Misty grandma speaks . " I can take them home . "

" It is late " .

" We're going with Misty's grandma . "

" Ok . "

The guy walks away slowly .

" Don't come this way again . " he said .

The End
