Quinn shivered a bit in his dark suede jacket. The cool autumn air cut through the light jacket to his mostly bare chest below, tugging on his sandy blond hair, and ruffling the feather in his headband. He had skipped out on his parent’s party to meet his friends; it’s not his fault that he hadn’t had a chance to change out of his Halloween costume. At least the suede pants kept his legs warm as long as he didn’t stand still too long. He fished out his phone and tossed a quick text to his best friend. The buzz of a response echoed on the dark street.
Grounded… they found out about the egging… don’t chicken out now. See u tomorrow
Quinn let out a sigh of frustration before shoving the phone back in his jacket pocket. He was tempted to toss the whole plan out the window but he didn’t like turning down dares… especially one as simple as this one. They, Jim and Quinn, were dared to spend an hour in the ‘haunted’ cemetery at midnight, Halloween night, never one to turn down a dare Quinn accepted. So here he was in his Indian brave costume, ten minutes to midnight, standing on a deserted street on a backwater neighborhood where the ‘sidewalk rolls up at sunset’. The only light was provided from the few Halloween decorations, the lone streetlight at the end of the road, and the spotlight that lit the cemetery sign… ‘Green Fields Cemetery’. The young man rolled his eyes at crappy name and quickly hopped the wrought iron fence. It looked like he would be going at this alone not that he really cared since there was no such things as ghosts…… or demons.
((sorry this was delayed some rl things happened that needed to be delt with but here it is have fun and enjoy))
This is the basic ghost story… you can embellish it or tweak it any way since most people don’t here the same story twice even if it started off the same.
A few/while ago…. As long ago as you want… there was a grounds keeper who hated trespassers in his cemetery. Late one night during a check of the grounds these kids snuck in and played a joke on the old man, they scared him… how it’s up to you…. And caused him to die from heart failure… this has to stay the same even if the wording doesn’t…. and now they say he is back protecting the cemetery from kids just like you and me, especially if it means extracting revenge.
Cases that ‘prove’ the ghost of the grounds keeper is back: -A few kids were found passed out in the cemetery on different days, no visible injuries nor any substances in system. It took them three days to wake up. -A guy is in a coma after being found in the cemetery. Like the kids, no reason why he was out of it. It is said that first responders found ‘claw’ marks on his chest but by the time he reached the ER they were gone. -this one may or may not be true XD

Aludra had done her trick or treating. She’d gone out with her friends and skipped up to people’s houses, big smiles and hands outstretched. Then her mother had bundled her off to bed at 11:30, promising that she could eat all the candy she wanted in the morning. Aludra had been out the window and on her way by 11:45.
Now as she peered through the graveyard gates at midnight, she was maybe wondering if she should have just stayed in bed. Oh well, she was here now so she might as well investigate. The streets had been full of stories tonight, of people being attacked by some mysterious being, only to be found unconscious later. It was a senshi’s duty to check it out!
She jumped the fence and immediately spotted the figure. A swift dart behind a gravestone had her hidden and she watched the person move deeper into the cemetery, realised it was just a regular civilian.
Hugbell had been out, trick or treated with the other kids, and well. After she was finished it wasn't that late yet. The child seemed a little bored and decided to ditch her current 'babysitter' for the night. After all her parents had a halloween party to attend to and wouldn't be home until late.
Once she was gone far enough from her house she decided maybe she should check out a good old ghost story spot. Mainly because with what she knew, it was likely it wasn't just a ghost story.
So Hugbell took to her way and headed into the graveyard occasionally skirting around tombstones and places were people were burried.
AHhh hi sorry I'm late!

Rhea snuck out of her house, lolipop in her mouth from the night's haul. It was no easy feat, seeing at the majority of her family was still awake, much to her dismay, but everyone was in their own room, so she just had to be really quick and not step on the squeakly floor board.
Easy enough, well not really, she almost fell trying to avoid the board. She crunched on her lolipop as she walked past the gates of the graveyard. She frowned having heard the stories, she didn't really want to go in, but she though she felt other's like herself.
She struggled to climb over the graveyard wall, not really use to this whole being a senshi thing and not realizing she could really just up on the wall. She landed on the other side with a frown, but steeled herself. This was a new adventure and she wasn't afraid. She started making her way across the graveyard, trying to keep from walking on graves, it was rude. That's what her mother said.
Quinn shivered as atmosphere of the cemetery started to get to him. It wasn't as if the graveyard really was haunted, even if there were more then a few odd things that have happened recently in the cemetery. The young man pulled out his phone once more and checked the screen for the time... 10 minutes to midnight and he would have a half hour after in order to keep the bet.
To pass the time he started to read the tombstones. Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters... there were row after row of stone slabs marking the earthly remains of past. The hardest ones to walk past were the ones that marked children. Quinn wondered what had happened to these kids that had ended with them like this. Was it an accident or a illness?
It was during one of these pauses in front of a small tombstone that Quinn caught movement out of the corner of his eye. He felt chills run up his spine but he still put on a brave face when he 'laughed', "very funny guys... trying to scare me to win the bet wont work." He forced a few more chuckles before moving on as casualty as he could but he could feel the eyes on him. He hunched himself further into his jacket trying to shake off the chill. Its just the guys trying to freak me out. Its not like ghosts are real. There is no one else in this cemetery. With his internal pep-talk done Quinn slowed down and once more started to read the markers, heading deeper into the land of the dead.
Unbeknownst to Quinn it wasn't imaginary eyes on him but four real pairs of eyes. Three curious and one malicious... The youma was deep in the graveyard when it started towards the fool who entered into its hunting ground. It hesitated only once when it picked up even better targets but decided to go after the closer one, the stupid boy.
quinn will be attacked in my next post ^^'

They weren’t alone.
Aludra crouched in the dark, head slightly tilted and she studied the new approaching energies. Good signatures, not as strong as a regular senshi but unwavering. Two, she decided, just like her. One was especially close by and Aludra was in just the right spot to watch Rhea tumble over the wall.
She was just about to call out to the other girl, try and get her attention, when something else snagged at her mind. A dark feeling that she recognised instantly; a youma was on the prowl.
There was no point in staying hidden and she rose from the shadows, waving towards her fellow chibi as she moved further into the cemetery with quick steps. Where had that older boy gotten to? She couldn’t let him get hurt.
