One Spooky Halloween Night

One night Belle and Jasmine were walking home from a holiday party when Jasmine said "Let's take a shortcut through the graveyard! It will be easier through that way and we will make it home quicker."
Belle hesitated, cautious at first. Jasmine was the adventurous one, always jumping into things feet first, while Belle was the more reluctant one, tending to want to think things over and examine things from every perspective. But, knowing how much Jasmine wanted to get home, she agreed to the shortcut.

The two friends jumped the fence and started making their way through the spooky tombstones along a rocky, twisted path when Belle noticed that Jasmine was no longer there. It was a dark night, and to make it worse, it was Halloween. Growing up, the two women had always heard the spooky tales of witches and wizards, ghosts and goblins, even werewolves and vampires. Naturally, Belle was worried about Jasmine. She had no idea if the tales were true or not, but she sure didnt want to find out. There was talk of people disappearing in this very graveyard. She looked around at the tombstones and shivered, a chilly breeze coming from nowhere and making it even more spooky. Off to the right, there was a small mausoleum that nobody ever wanted to go into because the locals claimed it was haunted. She hoped Jasmine wasn't in there.

"Why did they decide to take this particular shortcut?" Belle wondered. Looking back, it didnt seem like the best idea anymore.

"Jasmine where are you?" Belle whispered. She recieved no answer, just the wind whispering in the trees.

Suddenly everything seemed scarier, every noise every shadow...She could hear an owl hoot, and a cat hiss, but couldnt see anything but the shadows, the shadows that seemed to grow bigger and loom ever closer. Belle's pulse was racing... then a shadowy specter came quickly out of the shadow screaming "Got ya!!"

Belle screamed and prepared to flee, when the creature called out "Wait!"

When the moon lit up the creature, Belle saw it was not a ghost but Jasmine laughing hard. Belle felt a fleeting moment of anger at her friend, but it quickly passed as relief overcame her that Jasmine was alright.

Belle joined in the laughter and the two friends ran off for home while eyes watched from the shadows.
