Midnight Monster

Short Story pt 2

"...And they say the ghost of Annie Sinclair still wanders around to this day." 

"Wow...that's fucking insane Ryan. How the heck did she die?" my friend Josh whispers. 

"Some say she went insane and committed suicide off the edge of this hill over there," I point towards the hill. No one dared to walk by it, or go anywhere near the edge. There have been rumors that if you took even the smallest step near the hill you'd die instantly. 

"Others have said a man by the name of Austin Davis threw an axe directly at her head while she was standing near the hill, and she fell off. He later dismembered the parts of Annie's body, and kept her head. He somehow dug a whole far enough into the lake that he hid all her chopped up body parts inside the dirt," I shrugged "But those are just rumors. Don't listen to them unless you know the whole story right?" 

"Where the hell do you get this shit from? You're fucking crazy. A girl getting murdered in the hills? For what? Allison says to me."

"Dude, ever heard of the internet? You can find some crazy shit-" Josh starts, but Allison cuts him off. 

"I get it," Allison says rolling her eyes. "Whatever, I'm going to bed. Later losers." Allison gets up from the grass, and heads toward the tent we assembled earlier. 

"What an ass. Why did we bring her again?" My friend Lilly groans. 

"Come on now I had to. She's my girlfriend." I replied. 

"So what's going on for the rest of the night broski's?" Lilly asks

"We could always tell more stories, or we could go check out that lake." Josh says wiggling his eyebrows. 

"I'd rather not thank you. You two go ahead I'm getting tired. Talk to you tomorrow." Allison gets up and goes into the tent Allison is sleeping in. 

"You in?" Josh asks "We could dig up some serious shit down there dude.

"You're insane," I reply back "What if something happens? We can't just leave the girls here." 

"You're a pussy." I roll my eyes, and get up from my seat, heading towards the path to the lake.

"You coming or what?" I tell Josh

"Hell yeah bro! know we're talking!" Josh gets up immediately.

"I'm only going to check out the lake. Not because you called me a pussy."

"Whatever you say bro. I'll keep it between us." Josh starts walking faster and I roll my eyes.

"Shit bro, this lake is pitch black." Josh says 

"I know. It's giving me the creeps. Maybe we should-" 

"No come on don't say that! We just got here. Let's jump in." Josh has a devilish smile plastered on his face. He's always been the daredevil out of us. Hell, I'm sure if someone offered him to jump in fire or eat spikes the bastard would.

"I'll stay over here man. You get in." I reply. 

"You sure?" 

"Yeah, go for it man I'll watch."

"Your loss my gain bro. Woohoo!!" Josh takes off his shirt, and runs towards the dock

"Here I go!!" Josh gets in a ready position to do a cannonball. He gets in a stance and starts charging for the water
