Past the Cemetery, there is a large, weathered gate, with tall, broken doors. The doors are chained shut heavily, a sign adorning the fence with the words "Keep Out" ominously printed. Beyond the gate is a cobblestone path surrounded by lush grass. Where the cobblestone path leads is to a large, rounded and cemented area. In the large, bare area, there are several benches and a statue stands tall of a figure with no face. The statue has words on it, but they have been scratched and rubbed out. The lush grass gives way to thick forestry all around the area. The only thing apparent is that the grass isn't for walking on, as the only words still terribly apparent on the statue are the words "Sacred Grounds".
Despite the fact that the grass if off limits, there are several forks of the cobblestone center, trailing off various ways into the forest and disappearing with no ending destination.
The whole feel of the Sacred Grounds is sad, lonely, and a little bit scary, as if the faceless statue is there to ward off visitors to this grave burial site. The only puzzling thing is the fact that the grounds lack tombstones or any sort of indication of burial, but any sensitive soul could sense the distinct feeling of lifelessness in the earth.

Jude effortlessly broke the chains, pushing her way onto the cobblestone path. She wandered for what seemed like ages down the small road before finally reaching the center. She stared up at the statue, her eyes almost searching it for unspoken words. She pat the figure gently, sitting on one of the metal benches as she gazed towards the sky.

On the other side of the statue, Ramses yawned loudly, stretching his arms above his head as he sat up on the bench he had been previously sleeping on. "Hoe laat is het?" he asked himself, squinting as he looked around the darkening area. Sensing somebody was nearby, the man stood and slowly strolled towards the new person. "Jij," he began, pointing at her. "Hoe laat is het?"

Jude stared at the man for a long moment, a smile crossing her lips as she shrugged her shoulders. "I can't understand you."

He paused, blinking a few times as he thought. After a few quiet moments, Ramses let out a frustrated sound, throwing his head back before looking to her. "You," he began, a hint of uncertainty in his voice as he titled his head. "Know of the time is it?"

A grin appeared on Jude's lips, her eyes flickering as she nodded, crossing one of her fishnet covered legs over the other. "It's about five thirty," she spoke, gesturing to the sky. "It's getting really dark."

Ramses looked to the sky, nodding slightly as he stared up, his mouth open somewhat. "Time to wake up," he mumbled, looking back to the stranger. "Who are you?" he asked rather sternly, pointing at her, his eyes narrowed.

Jude let out a loud laugh, pushing his hand away with excitement and warning in her eyes. "Didn't you ever learn it's rude to point at people?" she asked, her tone slightly accusing, but her lips betrayed her words with a smile.

He stared at her rather blankly before blinking slowly, tilting his head. "Wat?" the boy asked loudly. "Ehh, het doet er niet toe," Ramses muttered lowly, shaking his head. "You," he began again. "Your name is...?"

The girl made a face, wishing she could understand his language. She let out a sigh, brushing stray hairs from the side of her face before pointing at him with a slender finger. "I am Jude. Your name?"

"Aha!" he exclaimed, snapping his fingers and clapping his hands together. "You know the song?" The boy moved to sit beside the girl, putting an arm on the back of the bench behind her. "I will sing it for you, yes," he cleared his throat. "Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better... I'm called Ramses," he rather sang, looking to her. "You know that song?"

The demoness giggled girlishly, putting a hand in front of her mouth as she watched him with wide, sparkling eyes. "Ramses~" she purred, leaning into his opened arm. "You're quite the entertainer," she breathed, batting her lashes flirtatiously as she looked to him.

"Natuurlijk!" he nodded, somewhat wrapping his arm around her frame. Ramses looked at her, studying her face in silence for a few moments before clearing his throat. "You want more song, ja?" the man asked, arching his eyebrows at her. "Het kan me niet schelen!"

Jude chuckled gleefully, shrugging her shoulders as she looked to him contently. "Yes, please. Sing more," she urged him on, nudging his side with her shoulder.

"Ja, ja," Ramses nodded, tilting his head to the sky with a soft breath. "What you like to hear? I know some many lyrics." His fingers rather danced gently about the girl's shoulder as he thought about what to continue on with, although he hoped she would choose something for him.
