The Rebellious Reflection

What’s going on?!

I was about to go inside and follow Gran when I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder.

Suddenly, I jumped out of its reach to see whose hand was resting on my shoulder… and to my surprise it was mom.

Whooh! I’m alive, it’s just mom and no one else, hehe. But wait a second… what’s she doing here and… wait… wasn’t she sleeping ju-

“Luckas Ludwig! What are you doing here IN-THE-MIDDLE-OF-THE-NIGHT!?” Mom asked saying almost every single word step by step while interrupting my thoughts which I absolutely didn’t liked.

“Playing, ‘Whose gonna’ die first’ with the mosquitoes. And weren’t you sleeping just now?” I said sarcastically which didn’t helped even a little to cool down Mom’s super angry face which I thought was burning real hot.

“Stop joking around and answer my question ASAP! And OF COURSE I was sleeping. I was going to the kitchen to get some water when I saw you going out all of a sudden and so I was worried so I came here with you and you haven’t answered my question yet.”

Whoa! I think she’s really not in the mood of jokes this time-

“Luckas Ludwig! Explain yourself!” Mom looked so angry and worried that it seemed like she was gonna’ explode at the spot.

“Whoa! Ok, ok. Listen… I wasn’t able to sleep since it was so hot in my room so I went to grab some water when I saw Gran going out in the middle of the night and I was worried so I followed her here, but the question is that what was Gran doi-” I tried

to explain all the situation when Mom, again, interrupted me.

“Wait, wait, wait, WAIT! What?! Stop spouting nonsense! How can you put all the blame on your sweet Grandma!? Let’s talk about in the morning and head home first.” Mom grabbed my arm and tried pulling me, which of course didn’t worked as I’m really strong.

“Mom … mom …”

“Lukas, you really don’t make any sense…”

“Mom…”

“You have to give me an explanation…”

“MOM!!

“This is so… What?”

“Can we go in the graveyard first? I swear I saw her going in there.”

Mom stared at me for a long moment… stunned by my tone. She thought for a moment then spoke.

“Luke… this isn’t some kind of prank, right?” She spoke in hesitation.

Seriously Mom… How can you even think that…? Do you really think that I’m joking?

“I told you that I swear she’s inside!” I wanted to kick something. How could she even say that?

Before she could say anything I took a step backwards and then sprinted into the graveyard.

I sauntered through the graveyard for like half an hour, hoping to see Gran standin’ somewhere.

“But… She was here! How is that e-”

“I told you that she’s not here. Let’s not talk about this and go

home.”

“But, … but, … ”

“No buts! I said lets go home! ”

Without saying another word, Mom grabbed my wrist and dragged me home as fast as she could… which wasn’t quite fast since I’m pretty strong and hard to move.

I was surprised to see that Mom was right after all. Gran was actually in her room.

But how is that possible? I saw Gran going in the graveyard with my on f*****g eyes!

Something is really wrong with this place or else I have become a psycho. Plus, I have a really bad feeling that something bad is going to happen and really soon. I have to unravel whatever is happening here. I have to find the truth before it’s too late.
