Chapter 5

The next couple of weeks went by smoothly. They had had the funeral, and everything seemed somewhat normal, if not surreal. Sara got through those weeks, although she wasn’t sure how. She felt like she was on autopilot, going through the motions without being aware that she was doing so. She felt so alone, no one was really talking to her. It was as though they were afraid of her, or afraid to get close to her. The only person she could talk to was gone!

About a week after the funeral Sara decided that she needed to talk to someone, so she took a detour after school to the cemetery. On her way there, she heard the footsteps again. Once again she turned, seeing no one there. She started walking again, at first hearing nothing. After a few minutes she heard the footsteps. She kept walking, deciding that she wouldn’t turn right away, hoping to catch a sight of who it was. She walked on a little while longer, listening to the steps as they followed her. Finally she whipped around quickly, and was able to briefly see a dark figure duck behind a bush.

“Who’s there?” she asked in a shaky voice.

There was no answer. By now she was really scared because the last time she heard these steps she lost her brother. She turned and began running as fast as she could until she got to the gates of the cemetery. She was happy to hear silence the rest of the way, and hoped that meant that she was not followed anymore.

When she got to Luis’ grave she sank down to the ground and placed her hand on the fresh soil. She didn’t know what else to do so she began talking, letting everything pour out.

“I know that’s it’s only been about a week since we laid you down here, but Luis I miss you so much! Hmm, the soil is still fresh, I guess I thought it would have packed down a bit more. Anyway, I’m so sorry about everything I’ve put you through throughout the years. You were the best big brother anyone could ever ask for, and I’m sure I was quite the pain. I just wish I could have told you that when I had the chance! I just don’t understand, why you? I just wish I could hear your voice again.

“I was followed again today, this time on my way here. I tried to catch a glimpse of who it was, but when I turned around they ducked behind a bush and I didn’t see much. So I ran the rest of the way here. I didn’t hear the footsteps anymore, so I think they stopped following me. Or at least I hope so. I’m so scared, I have no idea who could be doing this or why. I mean I know I’m not the sweet innocent girl that mom and daddy think I am, but I’ve never done anything to deserve this. I’ve only snuck out and went to a few parties.
