Chapter 9 - Emma?!

She observed the pathway among the graves carefully. It was decorated by all sorts of spooky statues, most of them coloured in red. She saw a girl, cute by all accounts, walking bravely along the dark pathway, waving her short silky sheet of hair back and forth. Her long eyes were glistening through the dark. The mild moonlight had made her skin shine. She was wearing a pair of shiny trouscers and a purple coloured coat with a pair of boots. It looked like a sight of a superstar arriving at a Halloween party. She came straight to Kett's grave without any wondering around. She looked up and smiled. "Were you afraid Alessia? Did you think I left you all by yourself? Don't worry. I will always stay by your side sister."

For some reason she kept calling Kett sister. But Kett didn't care. Afterall she really loved her as much as a sister. Emma took a shovel from behind a thickly grown Bush and started to move the soil on Kett's grave with it. "Sorry I was late. I had to clear up the coast you know. Don't worry. This will probably be done by midnight." She talked while working and hurried up. Watching her friend's progress in digging the grave, Kett felt her heart healing as a spectrum of hope started to flow in. After a good five minutes of hard work, digging the grave was done and the next big task was to get the coffin out. Emma made a loop at one corner of the long rope she had obtained from behind the same bush as before. It seemed like she was well organized for this. She put the rope around the coffin and started pulling it. But she wasn't strong enough. After a couple of failed attempts she gave up. Then she stood near the grave and looked at the coffin. Kett wished she could help. But she was stuck, unable to do anything.Emma kept few feets away from the grave. She looked up and sighed. Later she focused her eyes on the deeply dug pit. With a flip of a second, the whole environment started to glow.
