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.
