Prompt #2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bethany dragged her brother along, rambling on as he trudged along behind her, his homemade seal costume weighing heavily on his frame. As she trotted ahead, he groaned.
"You sure this is a good idea? I mean, both dads told us to stay safe tonight..." He eyed their surroundings warily, eyes darting back and forth as they wandered farther from the path.
"This was your idea in the first place!" At lightning speed she turned around, her fairy wings almost falling off her back as she faced her little brother. Little was a relative term with them; they were twins, her slightly older than him, but she was definitely more responsible. That made her much older in her eyes. "You're the one who got me all caught up in this idea, don't change your mind now! Besides, we're almost there."
Pacing backwards for a minute to watch for her brother's nod, she swung forward and led the way. The route to the graveyard was long, and the longer they walked on the road, the more they questioned if there was a reason for that. The woods around them seemed to grow darker as they went, encircling them and threatening to lead them astray if they wandered ever so slightly. Archie moved closer to his sister's side, gazing up at the trees,
"Maybe we should've just went trick or treating in the neighborhood, like Papa Max told us to."
"Nope, you insisted on going to the cemetery, so that's where we're going." she replied without looking away from their destination.
The rest of the trek was taken in silence, as Bethany struggled to contain her excitement. It was true that she wanted to listen to their parents, stay safe and get loads of candy, but after Archie brought up the idea of skipping that and looking for ghosts, she couldn't stop thinking about what was in store when they got there. Now, even if her little brother had changed his mind, it was much too late to turn around.

I hope this isn't too late!
