The Lady of the Cemetery
The Lady of the Cemetery
Juan reviewed the obituaries daily, always looking for a good grave to desecrate, dead belonging to a family with money was their targets, Lucas was the youngest, the muscle of the operation, both were used to the night, there was no fear or noise to scare them, but that cloudy night, without stars or moon, dark and gloomy, I can swear that when they crossed the threshold of that small cemetery something saw them enter.
It was the first time they had worked in that mausoleum, it was a small cemetery on the outskirts, almost in disuse, Juan did not understand why such a rich family had chosen that slum to bury their relative instead of one of the newer and larger cemeteries from the city where they used to work most often. The target that night was a young woman, just a 17-year-old girl, the cause of death was unknown, they did not include her in the obituary, nothing unusual, sometimes they did not mention it, the young woman came from a family of ancestry With many years in the city.
Lucas began with the jewels, two gold rings encrusted with diamonds, the earrings also made of gold and diamonds to match, on his head a beautiful white gold tiara with some precious stones, when he finished upstairs Juan urged him to finish taking off her dress, Carlos first took off her shoes and threw them towards Juan, then he took the delicate young woman's body out of the coffin to start stripping her of the beautiful white dress that she was wearing, more than a dead woman, anyone would think that they had arranged her for the day of his wedding, then the jackpot was shown!!!.
he men had seen something that terrified them before they died, the doctor supposed, the detectives question the elderly caretaker.
-So, Mr. Samuels, you didn't see or hear anything strange?
-Nothing Mr. Police, I slept like a baby all night.
-The bodies have no injuries, there are no signs of a fight, they did not have time to remove a shovel of earth, but from their faces they died seeing something terrifying.
-Who knows what happened, Mr. Policeman, but the dead have their ways of protecting themselves, of taking care of each other.
-What exactly do you mean friend?.
-For many years, someone powerfull else already took care of it!!!.
-Are you referring to a ghost?
-I don't know if it's a ghost, but after midnight the lady of the cemetery takes care of this cemettery.
End.
