NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.6 Lighted Path
We walk out the back door.
“Why did we just…â? My voice trails off as I look around me.
The path ahead is aligned with trees. Those trees are lit up in lights.
“That is why,â? he finishes.
He takes my hand and leads me down the path. The end of the path had a court with a large evergreen in the middle. His face starts to look nervous.
“Are you ok?â?
He sighs, “Yes, I am great.â?
He swings our hands and we come up to the tree.
“Turn around,â? He says.
“Why? What are you going to do?â?
“Just turn around!â?
I turn around.
“Don’t look back until I say so.â?
I suddenly see something light up behind me and I almost turn.
“Not yet!â? I hear him yell from a distance.
I hear him run towards me and search for something in his pocket.
“Ok, turn around,â? He says with excitement in his voice.
