Burial Grounds

The Beginning.

It was a dark and windy night, Benny had just woken up from a nightmare in a panic, he remembered everything. He could remember the grip from the dead man on his ankle, he could feel how moist the soil was when he had fallen, To calm himself down he had looked at all of his friends, he had mostly looked at Beth, Beth was the closest person to him. Benny looked at him and slowly shook Beth awake, a small groan escaping his lips, he didn't want to wake up just yet which Benny understood so he let him rest.

"Mr. Ben! There's a letter for you." His nanny, Margaret spoke a bit quietly to make sure she didn't wake up the rest of the kids sleeping in the living room.

Benny was a bit annoyed with his nanny, she always came at the worst moment which made him curious about who she truly was, he didn't speak back to the old woman and took the letter from her hands almost instantly. From the corner of eye, he could see her walk out of the living room to the kitchen. A small smile formed on his face, he could finally get rid of her even if it was just for a few minutes.

When he opened the letter, three words that looked like it spelt in blood was all he could focus on, it was scaring him, who sent him this? Benny looked at the return address and tilted his head confused. "Why would the return address be in an abandoned amusement park?" He thought to himself.

He was going to call for his nanny but was interrupted by a loud scream, Benny got startled, jumping in his spot as he looked around only to realize Jackson was the one that had screamed. He had gotten even more started when he heard rustling next to him, his mind instantly going back to his dream but soon realized that it was just his friends waking up and running over to Jackson to see what was wrong. Beth had stayed with Benny while his friends Tobias and Beltik ran to Jackson.

All he could hear from them were whispers asking him if something was wrong but Jackson never answered the questions, he turned to face Ben instead, his voice rising with anger. "What the hell does that letter say Benjamin!?" Jackson shouted a bit too loud for his liking, rushing over to Ben, his hands clenched up in fists.

"Chill out Jay! It says, come find me." He held up the letter as he answered, making sure all of his friends could see the words sprawled out onto the paper.

Jackson glared at him but grabbed the car keys staying quiet as he stormed out of the house, the group following behind him They were all confused on what Jackson was doing but when he put the amusement park into his phone, they immediately knew they were going to go find the person who sent them the letter, the person that maybe made Jackson scream. The chilly air hit their skin, they didn't have the time to grab jackets but they didn't mind, even if it was chilly, it felt good compared to Ben's warm house.

By the time they started the route to the amusement park, it was 2:30 in the morning, on Jackson's phone it said it would take about 30 minutes to get there. It would be the devil's hour. That fact had scared Beth, his hands gripping on Ben's arm tightly, Beth hated being away from Ben but he also hated being away from his brother Beltik.
