*GRAVEYARD-PART 4*

"Don't let go of my hand little deer, this fog is known to eat people alive."

"What?." Lisa glanced anxiously into the fog that was getting thicker, her heart suddenly drumming at an uncontrollable speed.

Why did it suddenly feel like she had been here?

Her grip on his hand tightened and his hand caressed hers immediately. And that action alone was able to calm her down considerably.

The further they walked in, the denser the fog became and suddenly it disappeared, causing Lisa to look around in astonishment.

"How did that happen?." She looked at Lucas and surprisingly, he also had a shocked expression on his face.

"The fog of the graveyard can only be controlled by the devil or his immediate blood relation, so how did the fog move? Because, for as long as I've been coming here, I have never seen it do that." He frowned at his surroundings, his eyes looking for any irregular movement.

"Oh my God! Does that mean the devil is here?." She moved closer to lucas and hid behind him, fear eating into her slowly.

"Maybe." He shrugged.

"Why are you so relaxed? It's the devil we are talking about here not just some random demon." She emphasized the last words and Lucas scratched his neck nervously.

"So you won't forget about that." He moved forward and approached a particular grave and Lisa followed him instantly.

"Yes I won't."

Finally, they were standing in front of a good looking grave compared to the others with a name largely imprinted on it.

"Lilian." Lisa whispered and the wind blew as if acknowledging the name being said.

Lucas was quiet. He was too quiet.

It was then Lisa noticed the emotion he wore.

Grief.

He bent down and placed a single rose flower on it, which she hadn't seen him pick up from anywhere. He knelt down in front of the grave and only three words left his mouth.

"Forgive me Lilian."

Lisa felt her heart squeeze at the sight. Was this how it felt like to actually lose someone you loved?.

If she ever lost Lucas would she be able to survive?.

The sound of heavy stone moving pulled Lisa out of her thoughts and she turned to see Lucas staring at the grave with a grim expression. His frown deepening.

"What happened?." She walked towards him and looking into the grave, a shocking gasp escaped her lips.

"She's gone! W-wasn't she meant to be there?." She took a step back and Lucas sighed in frustration.

"She was meant to be here but apparently she isn't." Anger laced his tone and Lisa could only blink at this revelation. For how long had the body been moved? She couldn't even begin to reason why on earth someone in thier right mindset will move a dead body!.

"How didn't I notice?." He squatted and ran a single finger through the interior of the wooden coffin.

"To be exact, it had been more than 10 years since the body had been moved." He continued searching the inside and Lisa's eyes widened.

"T-ten years?." She stuttered.

"Come over." He motioned for her to come and she walked forward, squatting beside him as her eyes didn't look off the empty coffin.

"You see this?." He pointed at the clean material inside the coffin.

"If a body actually had been here, it would have definitely decayed or have a fowl odour by now but this coffin looks like it's newly built. This is a different coffin entirely from the one Lilian had been in." He concluded and Lisa couldn't help but stare at him in fascination.

So he got all that from just looking at an empty coffin?.

"If that is so then who would have possibly taken her?." She questioned and the both of them remained silent.

Lucas knew that Lilian had a lot of enemies but going as far as taking her body didn't match the character of any of her enemies.

Even animals knew the line not to be crossed.

Then like a switch an idea came to him and he turned to Lisa who seemed to be in deep thought.

"I think I know a way we can find culprit but I'll need your help."

"W-what do I have to do?."

"You have a particular power to see what happens by a single touch. I want you to use that power now." His eyes held hope and Lisa replied.

"I don't know how to control it." She lowered her gaze and gnawed her inner cheeks anxiously.

What if she made a mistake? What if that dream she had about Lucas actually comes true one day?.

"Hey, look at me." He tilted her face upwards and they locked gazes.

"I believe you can control it." His eyes softened considerably as he encouraged her.

Lisa bit her lips nervously"I don't want to disappoint you lucas." Her voice dimmed.

"You can't. Now stop hesitating and help me solve this case!." He pinched her cheeks lightly and she swatted his hand, embarrassed.

"Okay, i can do this!." She took a deep breath and placed her hand inside the coffin. Concentrating deeply for any signs of memories and Lucas studied her, occasionally watching the surroundings around them.

If anyone were to come here, it was going to be a hassle to explain anything. Killing them was an option but he didn't think Lisa would accept that method.

"I don't think this is going to work." Lisa heaved, her breath coming out forced.

It was little but Lisa had been noticing it. The signs that her body was wearing out and Lucas seemed to be avoiding that topic.

"I know this may sound crazy but I have another idea." Lucas gave Lisa an encouraging smile as he narrated to her what she needed to do and her face drained of all the colour it had left immediately after he finished.

"No way!." She stood up abruptly, her knuckles turning white just thinking about doing it.

"Why?." Lucas asked. He didn't want her to do this. He had just suggested the idea but seeing how shaken she was he knew that something had definitely triggered an old memory.

"Do you know what your asking or me? You want me to go into a frieking coffin!." Her face turned red, the wind whipping past her face subtly.

"Lisa, Calm down." He tuned down the tone of his voice and Lisa relaxed slightly, moving to Lucas and wrapping her hands around him.

"I'm scared Lucas, I'm really scared." She didn't let him go and her words tugged a string in Lucas's heart, his mouth reacting before his mind.

"I'll be right here beside you."
