As Eleanor stormed out of the house, she didn't know where to go, so she kept on running towards an unknown path deep inside the woods.

Eleanor kept on running and running without looking back, she had her cheeks stained with tears and her eyes....blooshshot red. 

She finally came to a stop gasping for air as she bended down and rested her palms on her knees. When she looked up, she was standing infront of a huge gate with crooked boundaries. Eleanor knew that she was lost but she didn't care, afterall she just wanted some time alone. 

Eleanor walked towards the huge gate and without hesitating, she stepped inside, only to realise that the gate was actually of a HUGE OLD GRAVEYARD.

She gulped harshly and as she started to walk around the yard....she found a stool placed in the middle of the yard, "Maybe this belongs to the gate watcher" she mumbled to herself and sat on it without thinking even once. 

Then came all the worries and PAIN over her head. She covered her face with her palms and started crying her heart out, she was so broken inside. She hated the fact that her friends got supported by their parents no matter what they wanted to do, meanwhile it was just the opposite for her. She always got criticised for her dreams and aim. "We all live once, We have only one life to live and I just want to pursue my dreams and interests for my own life. Is that too much to ask for??" She cried out and she was thankful that no one could hear her. 

Once she calmed down, she rubbed her puffy red eyes and opened it. As she opened her eyes, she saw a figure standing near a grave in the corner of the graveyard. To confirm her vision, she again rubbed her eyes and after she opened her eyes once again, she again saw the person on the same spot. 

She didn't even know if she was hallucinating or not cause, as clearly as she remembers, she left her house 5 minutes before midnight, so as she's been out of her house for around 20-25 minutes, the time must be around 00:15 or 00:20.

It surprised her that someone would actually come at old graveyard at this hour. Then again she thought, maybe his situation was like hers or maybe he came to visit someone dearly to him.

Eleanor didn't want to overthink and freak out cause she didn't believe in the existence of non humans.
