Chapter Seventeen

Caitlin had taken off in the other direction to go home. That left me all alone. It felt like I was in some scary movie—all that was missing was the stormy night.

I didn’t take this way home often, but since I was in the area and it was the shorter way home, I decided to take the shortcut. With a black velvet sky sprinkled with twinkling stars, it was a nice evening and in spite of the area being spooky, I was enjoying the beautiful night. The moon cast an otherworldly white glow over the landscape.

It was nice to have the cover of darkness since the sun had been so hot lately. The area was spooky, yet hauntingly beautiful at the same time. When I reached the graveyard, I immediately thought of Max. This was where I’d met him for the first time. There was a black wrought-iron fence around the graveyard, blocking the living from the dead. Where did I fit in?

I’d made it down the sidewalk and almost to the entrance when something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I glanced to my left and noticed a woman in the graveyard. Her back was facing me and she was wearing a light-colored dress. The only problem was that I could see through her. Was she a ghost?

I hadn’t expected to see a spirit, but I shouldn’t have been too surprised since I was next to a cemetery. What better place to see a ghost, right? I was a little frightened and curious at the same time.

I pushed my fear aside and decided to walk into the graveyard to follow her. I was supposed be a badass vampire—dark and mysterious and all that stuff—but that wasn’t my style and I couldn’t change. I hadn’t embraced that whole violent vampire stuff.

After stepping forward, I inched through the gate of the cemetery. It was quiet and yet I didn’t feel alone at all. I was surrounded by the past. I walked down the path and was fully inside the graveyard now, although I could still turn around and run out at any moment if I needed to escape. What I might need to escape from wasn’t fully clear to me though.

The ghost had been the reason why I’d walked into the graveyard, but the ghost was nowhere in sight now. I paused and scanned the area, but gravestones were all that decorated the landscape. Tombs, statues of weeping angels, crosses, and tall stones etched with epitaphs encircled me. I studied the stones in front of me. An entire family was buried here. One grave was labelled Mrs. Jerry Hayes. Where was her first name? She hadn’t just been someone’s wife. I paused and looked at a few more stones, then continued along the stone path farther into the graveyard. I was still on the lookout for the ghost.

Just when I was ready to leave I spotted the ghostly figure again. She was farther down the path as if she’d just appeared out of nowhere.
