Chapter 1

The wind blew softly around Brooke as she sat with her back against the weeping willow, whipping her hair across her face. Eyes red, cheeks stained with tears, she had been sitting in the old, rustic cemetary for close to 10 hours. Ever since Ben was killed, Brooke's daily routine was never changing. Each day, she woke up, showered, dressed, walked to school, walked to the cemetary, walked home, and attempted to sleep. Though her life had completely stopped, the world around her went on as normal, leaving her in the midst of it all, still in shock.

Sleep always eluded her, for every time she closed her eyes, his face would appear in her mind, melting like wax, dripping to reveal just a skull. Sometimes it was worse. Sometimes she was lucky to get a few minutes of sleep before waking for school. Coffee was what kept her moving every day, without it, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning.

She stood shakily, her legs protesting, achy from being in the same position for too long. Midnight had come and gone, and the first signs of twilight creeping in were evident. All around her fog from the marine layer made everything blurry, a light mist falling over the world around her. The single asphodel flower she brought with her lay at the foot of his tombstone, epitaph reading:

"SACRED

to the memory of

Mr Benjamin Nightshade

who departed this Life

on the 13th day of July, AD 2010

aged 23 years"

She brushed her fingers over the top of Ben's tombstone, the chill of it sending shivers throughout her body. Pulling her cardigan tighter around her, she would have sworn she heard Ben's voice in her ear.

"You're next..."

read this: mmkay, so, asphodel is a flower that is supposed to mean "my regrets follow you to the grave"

and nightshade (deadly nightshade, belladonna) is a symbol of "deception, danger, and death."

both are fitting, haha. sorry nightshade is so cliche, but i liked the symbolism lol

yeah, not exactly a chapter, but you get the point. if VonCreep666 (aka Dee) agrees to help me, maybe he can help make it longer?

for those of you who have never read any of his writing, check him out. he writes gore/horror, and hes a really good writer. check him out. i recommend cannibal hunger, orrrr i forgot what he renamed it, but its the one about a dollmaker xD sorry. its on his page. you should also check out his poetry :]
