Mystic Moonlight: The Awakening

I could clearly see the night sky as thousands of stars shined through the sky giving the moonlight captivating glow. I sigh as the night air blew through my hair causing Goosebumps to cover my skin. It was a very hot day and to feel this breeze felt like heaven for me. I pick up my water bottle taking a sip before sealing it back up. I look down from the cliff I was standing on to see my father and his workers getting ready to start digging. We currently in the middle of nowhere, the closest town was 6 hours away and what made it worst I was surrounded by thousands of trees with no service. I look back up at the moon before hopping off the cliff. I landed gracefully on the grass picking up my water and hat before making my way down the short pathway that lead to a small tent.

"Hey honey I was looking for you," said my father as i enter the tent taking a seat next to him. I sigh sitting up from the chair I was sitting on grabbing a fruit bar from the table before looking at my father. He was a very handsome men with chocolate skin and a clean shave head. What stands out from him the most was his grey eyes that I and he share.

"I was around just exploring," I said biting into my fruit bar. Yum strawberry!!

"Well please be careful there's a lot of trap around here and don't touch anything. If you find something don't touch it come get me "he said giving me a stern look.

"Yes I know" I said rolling my eyes. I had heard this speech a thousand of times. You would think he would have stop patronizing me by now. Nope still get the" don't touch nothing" speech.

"Kasey I'm serious. You destroy the finding last time."

"I know! And I'm sorry. It wasn't my fault the floor collapsed and I ended up destroying the body of a perfectly mummified king. But think about how I felt. I broke a nail in the process and my skin came in contact with that old dirty disgusted cloth thing he had one. Don't let me start on how bad he smelled. Like OMG" I said throwing my arms up in despair. Like serious I was traumatize.

"Okay Kasey don't remind me. Just go and be careful," He said turning around to talk to one of the archeologists that enter the tent with us. I sigh standing up stretching my limbs before leaving out the tent. Sometimes I wish I didn't come on these stupid boring trips but as much I hated him bossing me around I love coming on the sites. You can discover so much things sometimes I think he bring me along just to see if I would following in his footsteps. He know I like discovering new things and I always finding something that's overlook.

"What to do" I said looking around my surrounding tapping my index finger on my chin. There wasn't nothing much but a lot of trees of course the camps site and an old creepy castle. Thinking really hard i decided the old creepy castle.

The walk to the castle took less than 30 minutes I carefully walk up the short stairs leading to the door. With my flashlight in my hand I open the old rusty door with my other hand. It's supposed to be off limit but I don't see anyone stopping me so why not. The place was completely dark the only light was from the moon and my flashlight.

"This place would be great for Ghost Hunters" I laughed thinking about my favorite TV show. I bet those guys would have a field day in here. I can imagine all the ghost thy probably find in here . I closed the door behind me coughing as the dust filled the air. I cover my mouth and nose as I walk deeply into the castle stepping over trash. This place is a dumped there's writing on the wall and trash everywhere but apparently they're supposed to be a mine below this castle that lead to a gold mine. I stop and turn around trying to picture the decaying walls and stairs cases when they were in their prime. Possibly 19 or 20 hundreds maybe 18 hundreds by the painting on the walls... but hey that can be determined by the real archaeologist.

"Let start from the basement" I said to myself. I know what y'all thinking. This Bitch is crazy! Maybe so but I like to start from the bottom up. I turn into a long hallway. It remind of the hallway in Willy Wonka except this didn't get small as you walk down it. Old painting hung on the wall some with a family others was just guys on horses. But one paint stood out the most. It was a young guy maybe in his late twenties his hair was black and his eyes was a dark green. There wasn't no life in his eyes he face stood cold with no emotion. I step closer to the painting trying to get a better look. He was very beautiful captivating even he wore an army uniform and one rifle in his hand while the older he had behind his back. He stood tall and proud I would say.

The picture read I look at the handsome face one time before stepping back. I turn and continue my way down the hallway. I finally made it to what look like a door, I turned the knob and slowly push it up causing dust to invade the air.

"Shit" I said trying to cover my face up from the dust. Ugh! Why it so dusty in this place. I made my way into the room shining my flashlight because it was complete dark. The beam of the light accentuated the dust floating through the darkness. Empty! The room was completely empty. No windows, painting, lights just empty. "Well that was a waste of time" I thought. I continue my search, it felt like I was walking forever but I finally found the basement. I took a step down the stone staircase, letting the beam of the light travel more into the room. I stop when I notice a shadow over in the corner of the room. My heart speed up when I thought of all the possibilities it could be. Ghost? Zombie? Or even a Ghoul? What I watch a lot of SyFy. I walk deeper into the room holding my flashlight tight in my hands just in case I have to use it as a weapon. I focusing the light of the object looking closely at it.

"What the hell" I said. It was a coffin. A freaking coffin that dead people sleep in. I drew in a deep breath as I made my way over to the casket. It was made out of solid stone, white stone. Carving were scraped into every inch of it. I check my jacket seeing if I had my phone so I can take a picture unfortunate I left it back a based. It would be cool to get a pic of whatever was in there. I set my flashlight on top of the casket then placed my hands on the cool edge of the lid, ready to push it back. Let me tell you it wasn't easy! For a quick second I thought about what my father I said therefore making me look back up the staircase thinking about his words and decided to continue what I was doing. At first it didn't even move. Like I'm using all my strength. I have sweat to prove it. I pull back cracking my knuckles and limbering up. I push harder suddenly with ear deafening screech it moved. I froze thinking my father would show up anytime with his big shining forehead ready to yell my ears off. But likely for me he didn't, so yay me! The casket wasn't completely open but it was open enough for me to peek in. I grab my flashlight shining into the tomb.

Let me tell you I wasn't prepared for what I saw. A Man. Yes you heard me correctly a man was asleep inside the tomb. Now my first thought a homeless guy found a nice spot to sleep but I look closer the man he was perfect. His hair was long and grown out, almost black as the night sky. He skin look like stone almost transparent but smooth. His shoulder broad and powerful. My eyes shock up to his face as I saw a glimpse of movement. I look closely shining the flashlight on his perfect face, suddenly his mouth open up wide like he was yawning and the first thing I see was sharp teeth. Very sharp teeth. I'm going to eat you for dinner sharp teeth. What the hell! OMG it's a vampire or ghouls. I back away slowly trying not to make a sound. Suddenly the lid flew off like a rocket hitting the wall across from it. I jumped and screams causing me to dropping my flashlight as I heard the lid break into a million of pieces. I heard the sickening sound of plastic breaking then total silence. That silence you get when something bad about to happen. The only nose I could hear is my rapid heart break and my breath as I panic. I back away slowly trying to remember my way to the staircase in the dark. My back hit the wall and I try to see anything through the darkness. "Oh god" I said repeatedly as tear started to flow from my eyes. I drew in a breath as I could hear movement in front of me. I felt like I was in a game of predator and prey. I'm for sure that I'm the prey I close my eyes as I try to hold in a sob that was forcing its way out.

"Who are you" I heard an angelic voice say in front of me. I open my eyes to two beautiful dark green eyes. Those eyes look so familiar even through the darkness his eyes stands out. I back more into the wall hoping it would somehow open a trapdoor to get me away from whatever this thing is.

"I said who you are" he said when I didn't answer the first time.

"K-..Kasey" I said with fear in my voice.

"What year is this? Where am I?" He said blocking me into the wall. I frown as my mind to start racing.

"What year you think it is?"

"You not the one to ask questions! Now answer me." His voice was harsh and I step further into the wall if that was even possible.

"2015" I said

"2000?"

"And 15." I said quietly hoping he catch on. I heard him sigh and take a step back.

"Why have you woken me?"

"Woken you?" I asked.
