An uncomfortable shiver went down Jane's spine as the laughter behind her practically bounced off of the tomb stones around them. W-Was that really necessary? The elf rubbed her arms, confused and agitated. It didn't feel that way. B-But he said that it was just his eyes. Maybe he saw something out of the corner of it. Maybe the fog was too much. She would rather believe that then...well...other ideas. Scary ideas. Ideas that she couldn't fight off.
That didn't stop the scowl on her face that she sent Altair's way though as she turned to look at the boy.
"They come out at a certain time?" She didn't want to believe it. Would rather they leave before that happened but---they were going to stay here the whole night. Another shudder came over her body. Why did it have to be the whole night? Why couldn't have been just a few hours? Time already seemed like an eternity. Maybe ghosts weren't real? But then...geists were real.
Why was everything so confusing?!
She was tempted to not trust someone who she could have sworn just tried to scare her. But---it wasn't like she knew of anything either. Instead she stared at Altair and made a mental note to be wary and cautious. To not be as gullible as her best friend.
"Don't wake them up!" she nearly squeaked, nearly putting her hand over Altair's mouth to shut them up. She wasn't a morning person and she was pretty sure that ghosts at the cemetery were
also not great when they wake up. And don't want to be woken up. If it weren't for her aversion to touch, she probably would have tackled Altair to the ground, make sure that he shut up.
She gave him a
look when he said he was there to protect her. The thought was nice, but they barely knew each other. Could she really trust that.
"Thanks, but I can protect myself." she shifted her jacket, wishing that she would have worn another layer underneath her current one.
"You could have woken them up." She seethed. He'd be one of the first to get attacked in a horror flick, for sure.
"We haven't fulfilled it yet." This time she did put a hand on the one arm that motioned towards the exit, just in case he was about to start walking back.
"We have to stay. For a bit." Jane gulped. It wasn't like she actually wanted to stay. But what were people going to say if they came back so soon. "Oh, you probably didn't do it?" No, she didn't want to repeat this. A few minutes couldn't hurt...right?
