Lily slowed down her breathing and read the note over again.
"Body under floorboards, that can mean anything right?"
She whispered at herself, becoming calm. It could mean a body of water, or that thing she learned about at school. It seemed so long ago, that school was going on. She wondered if maybe they were teaching surviving little ones reading and writing, she hoped so. The moon became darkened with a nearby cloud sending a small shudder down Lily's spine. The wind rustled through the trees making a light mourning sound, like a hurt dog. She looked around wondering what to do next; she could go home and sleep or walk around some more.
"I will explore."
She said out loud. The walked along the graveyard passing by more stones and running her finger along the edges. Humming a silent tune she observed crows and an occasional owl in the trees. It was a comforting thought to know something’s were still alive. She laughed remembering her mother's words to not walk around alone at night. How ironic was that she was doing it right know.

Nothing seemed to be moving, even the wind stopped blowing, and it was creepy. She slowly crept along the ground and leaned against a tombstone the mud getting on her jacket.
Another twig snapped, closer this time.
Her heart pounded in her chest, she pulled out her water bottle for defense and got her fist ready.
