The GPS on my phone directed me to a graveyard across town. I walked around the corner, out of view from my house, and called a cab to pick me up. Five minutes later, a yellow-checkered smart car slid along side the curb.

The cabbie rolled down the passenger side window and leaned out. “Are you Sky?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

I heard the sound of the doors unlocking. “Get in.”

Opening the passenger door, my butt slid into the seat next to his. An air freshener dangled off the rearview mirror. It made the cab smell like a meadow, which was oddly comforting.

“Where to?” the cab driver barked.

“Plymouth Cemetery.”

From the corner of my eye, I saw his eyebrows shoot into his hairline. “You sure about that?”

His doubt about my destination made me take pause. Was I sure I wanted to go to a cemetery at 9:00 at night when I had no idea if Daemon was there? No, but I knew I had to. Daemon had started off as an annoying thorn in my side but he had grown into something more than a friend. His wellbeing was important.

I nodded with conviction. “Yes.”

The cab driver started the car. “Ok, as long as you’re sure.”

We drove into the desolate night and my stomach jumbled with nerves. I clutched the backpack tight against my chest as if it was a life raft. The cab driver and I shared a mutual silence, but based on the sideways looks he kept giving me, I knew he wanted to talk.

Finally, his mouth opened. “Is there a reason you’re going to Plymouth Cemetery this late at night?”

Hasn’t he heard it’s rude to pry into somebody else’s business?

The truth came out before I could over think it. “My friend works there.”

“No shit. What kids these days do for money, I tell ya.”

Since Castor was the size of my pinky, it didn’t take long before the cab arrived at Plymouth Cemetery. A metal archway spelled out the name with an iron gate underneath. It looked exactly how a graveyard is supposed to look. Creepy and unwelcoming. Taking a deep breath, my heart stalled in my chest. I wished I’d brought more than mace to protect myself.

I turned to the driver. “You wouldn’t have a bat or something that could crack a skull, would you?” He blinked at me, mouth open. “Never mind,” I mumbled as my feet hit the pavement.

When I went to close the door, the driver’s meaty hand stopped it. His eyes hinted at worry. “I don’t know what you’re up to girly, but be careful.”

The term girly grated on my nerves, however, his concern was touching. “Thank you. I will be.”

“Do you want me to wait for you?”

I stared out onto the rolling hills of graves as a dense fog swirled on the ground and I bit back a manic laugh. There was something seriously wrong with me. This whole situation spelled out a horror movie waiting to happen. Daemon better be around here somewhere.

“No, I’m ok,” I answered. “Thank you.
