Katie was putting her brother and sister Andrew and Laura to sleep.
"Shh. You's need to sleep before the parents get back. I'll see you tomorrow and we will start work on your costumes"
Katie said. The children nodded and Katie clicked the bedside lamp off. She walked out of the room and shut the door. She walked down the stairs and jumped onto the couch getting into a comfortable position. She grabbed the TV remote and the bright lights of the TV cast shadows across the room. On the TV was the news. The reporter was talking about how the police still had no lead on who killed the 2 girls a few towns over. A traveler had found them. When the traveler found the girls their heads where gone and in the place of their heads where jack-o-lanterns. The traveler called the police but he had been dismissed as not a person of interest. Everyone in school was calling the mystery killer "The Carver". Katie suddenly heard a loud bang! Katie jumped in her seat. She slowly walked over to the front door.
"Hello?!"
She asked opening the door a little no one was there. Bang! She heard another noise. She ran to the back door and opened it.
"Hello!"
She shouted into the garden. In the garden the shed door was banging against door frame. Katie thought it was just the wind but it wasn't until the next day the family realised what the banging was...
The window in the children's room was open and the children was gone along with the jack-o-lanterns from the front step.
