The Girl Who Stood On a Grave
Retold by Vel
Duo, Heero, Wufei, Relena and Hilde were at a party one night. There
was a graveyard down the street, and they were talking about how scary
it was.
"Don't ever stand on a grave after dark." Duo said. "The person
inside will grab you."
"That's not true." Hilde said. "It's just a superstition."
"I'll give you a dollar if you stand on a grave." Heero said.
"A grave doesn't scare me." Hilde replied. "I'll do it right now."
Wufei whispered something to Duo, then the braided boy turned and
handed her his knife.
"Stick this knife in one of the graves," He said. "Then we'll know
you were there."

The graveyard was filled with shadows and was quiet as death.
"There is nothing to be scared of," Hilde told her self as she made
her way through the gate. She was scared any way.
She picked out a grave and stood on it. Quickly she knelt down and
plunged the knife into the soil, then started to leave. But she could
not get away.
Something was holding her back. She tried a second time to leave but
she could not move. She filled with terror.
"Somethings got me!" She screamed and fell to the ground. When she
didn't come back, the others went to look for her. They found her body
sprawled across the grave.
Without realizing it, she had plunged the knife through her skirt and
pinned it to the ground.
It was only the knife that held her. She had died of fright.
