Tricks of the night..... chapter 2

The silver moon hangs above the starless sky, strands of cloud covers it's beauty. Night has fallen once again and Jack stands in front the rusty gates of the cemetery, having second thoughts of what to do. Part of him wants to know what the dream he had last night really meant, or if that was really just a dream and nothing more. Jack firmly holds the chain that locks the rusty gates, Jack closes his eyes trying to decide what to do. A small breeze escapes the graveyard and blows pass Jack, at that very moment a cold chill run down his spine. Not because of the breeze but because of what he heard along with the breeze. The same voice, the same female voice that was calling Jack in his dream and after he woke up. Only this time he can hear it clearly, soft and enchanting. "Jack, Jack," it keeps on repeating. Each repetition louder than the last. Jack tries to cover his ears, trying to block off the sound. He feels like his slowly losing grip of sanity, the voice invades his mind. Holding a firm grip of his consciousness. Jack falls down to his knees, and without knowing it, he shouts. "Hey, you ok dude?" A passerby taps Jack's shoulders, looking at him with scared eyes. Jack lets go of his ears, the voice completely gone. "Ah, uhm, yeah, yeah, I... I'm all right. Hahahah...." "You sure dude? I mean you were kinda screaming you're lungs out." Jack slowly stands up, and forces a smile. "Yeah, uhm, I had a headache, yeah, that's it, terrible headache, but it's gone now... Thanks for the concern. Hahah." The stranger nods then walks away, Jack carefully watches as he is left alone. "Get a hold of yourself Jack, we'll just have a look and prove that there's no ghost or whatever that's been messing with you," Jack says to himself. "Ok, this chains are a bit rusty but I don't think it'll be that easy to break them, I guess I just have to climb up."
Jack pulls himself up as he goes over the gates, Jack steadies himself then jumps to the ground.
