Tormentors-Chapter One:The Cemetary

"Come on, Ben," Jake Davidson said,"You can't turn down a dare! Especially when I, of all people, dared you."
"But!"Ben Turner pushed the brown bangs away from his face.
"You scared?"
"No!" he turned red in embarassment.
"Then go!" The crescent moon shone dimly in the night sky. The graveyard gates were rusty and black, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
"O-okay." he gulped an enormous amount of air, then let it all out slowly. He grabbed on to one of the bars of the cemtary gates and started to climb.
"Remember, one hour!" his friend called after him. "I'll time you!"
Benjamin Black landed on the other side with a thud.
"Ow..." he started walking forward. There was a light fog coming over the ground."Oh, great," Each step he took was quiet and loud at the same time. In the distance he noticed the sillohette of a young girl. He shivered and almost lost the grip on his flashlight."H-hello...?" the shadowy figure disappeared.
Ben dodged a grave that he nearly ran into. He scrunched down and read the inscription.
"'Here lies Alice Rose, a loving and beautiful daughter. 1699-1717.'" he opened his eyes in astonishment."She died at sixteen?! Dang, that's young."
"Well, the the witch WAS pure evil," said a girl's voice coming from above him. Ben jolted up immediately. She had long silvery blonde hair with 1700's style clothing. She was extremely beautiful, with a slight glow around her body.
"Y-y-y-y-you--!!"
"Yes?"
"A-a-are you a...g-ghost?!"
"Of course I am. What else?" She shrugged.
He paused and took in several breaths."Wait. Are you--"
"Alice Rose," she glared at him,"You're standing on my grave."
"Oh! I'm so sorry!"he quickly jumped backwards.
"Heh heh! You're funny!"
"Th-thanks...? I think?"
Alice kept giggling."Oh, you shouldn't be here."
"Yeah, I really shouldn't be."
"You don't know what I mean. Vasya, she'll--"
"Did somebody call my name?" a female voice with a thick Russian accent came from behind Ben. He jumped and dropped his flashlight. He turned to come face to face with a tall woman with burning red eyes and long black hair. She wore a leather black coat with tall heeled boots.
"You must be..."he gulped,"V-Vasya."
"Smart child. Now, Alice," Vasya suddenly appeared behind her,"What are you doing, not Tormenting this human?"
"I was just about to, Mistress Vasya." Alice kept her voice steady and eyes cold.
"Good, good. I'd love to stay and watch, but I have something to attend to. Andre is acting up again." she dissolved into the air."Farewell, Benjamin Turner..."her disembodied chuckle was slowly silenced.
"How did she know my name?" he looked up into the air.
"Vasya knows everything there is to know,"Alice hung her head.
"Hey...Are you alright?"
"I don't want to..." she said softly.
"What?"
"To Torment you."
"What does that mean, anyway?"
She sighed."Ghosts who get enough favor with Vasya become Tormentors. And Tormentors who Torment enough people may resurrect and live again. And that's what I want to do. Become human again."
"Really?"he crookedly smiled,"Then Torment away, Miss Alice!"
"No! How little you understand!"
"Ouch."
"To Torment someone is to go inside their soul and to make it like a living hell. Slowly the person breaks down and dies the most horrible death ever."
"Oh my God."
"Exactly. I've done that to so many people without hesitating."
"Then why are you this time?"
"I...I don't know. But if I fail to Torment you, then Vasya will take away my status and I'll never be able to resurrect. So..." Alice suddenly started glowing. "I'm so sorry, Benjamin."1
