22 She is alive (1/2)

Aaron wasn't prepared for it. He stood like a statue in a stupor.

When he heard the trio screaming the first time, he was worried about Aarvi so he entered the graveyard to bring those fools back. He had almost reached them but they ran away and again ran back screaming on top of their lungs that even bats and owls flew away in fright.

”...” Dax and Shawn looking at Aarvi flashing light at them.

Then they saw Aaron's deadly calm face who was thinking whether to hold her or not keeping his hands in the air. The duo looked at each other who were scared of the ghost that she didn't even rely on them.

Scolding themselves in mind, they were ready to speak, an unknown hoarse voice made them jump and stand behind Aaron.

”What is going on here?”

Aarvi came to her senses hearing a man's voice and saw Dax and Shawn. She flushed, realizing she was hugging to Aaron. She really wanted to dig a grave for herself and sleep inside instead of facing them, especially Aaron with whom she fought to go inside the cemetery.

Flashing their light at the man in the front, they breathed a sigh of relief. The cemetery guard was dwarf and he was wrapping himself in a rug from top to toe which looked like he didn't have the head in the faint light.

Aarvi didn't dare to look at Aaron and got off from him feeling utterly embarrassed. Aaron silently helped her to stand back on the ground without being able to see her face in the dark.

Dax passed the bags which were in his hand, ”We brought some fruits and snacks for you.”

That man took it and waited for them to speak.

Shawn spoke, ”We just wanted to feel how it is to be in the graveyard at midnight. We will get going.”

The security hoarsely grunted.

While Aaron followed three, Aarvi was facepalming hearing Dax and Shawn.

”Little heart, I was the one who wrote bear hug my bro.”

”Dum Dum, I didn't know you were into that kind hug.”

”Hey, where is my hug?”

Aarvi punched Shawn when Shawn forcefully wrapped his hand on her shoulder.

”Good my wish list is almost complete.”

”Heh?” Aarvi tossed his hand away, ”Dirty, epic what?... Sex? We didn't get a girl for you so... With him?”

Dax: ”Are you into men? No doubt you wanted to hug your brother.”

Aarvi and Dax laughed but it echoed in the graveyard giving them goosebumps so both shut their lips and ran out chased by Shawn, ”Muppets! I'm bloody straight. How dare you say that?”

Aaron rolled his eyes. If they were joking and walked in, they wouldn't be scared as much as they concentrated on the sounds.

They were dispersing to the three cars, Aarvi called, ”Shawn!”

Shawn paused to look back then he smiled when Aarvi hugged him to fulfill his wish.

Rubbing her head, ”Little heart, I or Dax couldn't change whatever happened. We will be there to hold you this time. Be happy.”
