Then the lights turned on  by emporesscave

Then the lights started to shine ever so brightly, and a voice mummbles something in the wind. I try to make out what the voice is saying, but it seems as if it's floating away. I gotta follow that voice. I keep getting that feeling that someone is watching me.  I ask myself should I continue on my search? or should I stop? Should I wait until whatever is following me stops? Oh I don't know. Now I'm starting to fear what awaits me in the back garden. The voice, getting louder.. "Who's that?""Why don't you come out and show yourselves?" I shouted. No one answers my question of fear. Continuing on my search for who is behind the voice, I stumble upon a torn piece of paper that is highlighted. It's almost as if it were meant for me to find. It's addressed to me by my nick name. "Ruby I want you to find the black rabbits foot". "It is of great importance". ??? As I'm looking at the writing to see if i recognize it, the grass starts to move. A horrible feeling starts to stir in my belly and I can't help but want to leave. Dashing through the backyard of old man Kat, suddenly I decide to turn around. See who it is that lurks in the shadows tormenting me with fear.
