1943, 31st October

"Trick or treat." the vistors asks

Mr. Robert was a very nice guy. He's the guy who you see in some shows where he'd give free candy. He would be a guy who loved kids.

He moved in to the house at 1943. Something in that house changed him. He was stuck in the basement, not cause he was trapped but his soul was.

No one ever answered the door but if it did. It wouldn't be him.

Every halloween a tall pumpkin would light itself by the window of Mr. Robert

"Audrey, it's Halloween. Do us a favor" my dad says

"What now?" i groan

"Your mom wants more Jack-O-Lanterns. You should buy some at the village's garden" he hands me the money

I nod lousily

I headed off to the garden. Mrs and Mr. Rocksmith are the main owners. But what they always say, the villagers are always the main ones. They're really polite.

"Buying pumpkins?" Mr Rocksmith asks

"Yeah." i smile

"The pumpkin patch is at the back" he points

"Thank you" i nod and proceeded

I was surprised there were still various of them. It's halloween today and I thought it would've been finished by now.

I held a round one which looked perfect. I need to buy three. I found that were close but maybe-

"What the hell?" i yell. I was just holding the pumpkin till someone hitted it like some football

"It was ugly" Luke shrugs

"It doesn't matter! This isn't your garden and you have no authority to break it!"

"I'll throw it geez" he starts kicking the smashed pumpkin to the side

"What are you doing here?" i glare

"Picking a pumpkin aswell."

"Well you already smashed the nice one!"

"Who said I needed a round one" he rolls his eyes

"Well what are you looking for?"

"A tall one"

"A tall one?" i say in disgust "Wow you are different"

He lets out a short slight laugh, "Are you going trick or treating today?"

"No."

"You should though. It would be fun."

"I'm 18" i remind him

"and I am too"

"You're going trick or treating?" i raise a brow

"Nope. I'm going to be trick or treating" he smirks

"huh?"

"You'll see" he says then leaves

-

"Mom, there were only 2 left" i tell

"Good enough." she grabs it and already starts carving

"Uh.. what are we doing for today?"

"Just give candies to little kids." she smiles and i groaned in my head

This is boring. I mean it's a holiday and that's all I'm going to do?

"Can I go trick or treating?" i ask

She drops her chisel and looks straight at me, "Audrey, you're 18. You don't even have a costume"

"I just wanna go around" i shrug

"Hmm alright be home by 7" she continues carving

"Mom!" i whine

"Well it's halloween. Expect the worse in the dark."

"You believe in those myths?"

She stops carving again, "it's not a myth honey. I'll tell you a story after you go home"

"Why not now?"

She remained silent. I don't know if she did it in purpose or she really doesn't want to reply. And she always ask me why I barely talk to her.

6:23pm

I started walking by the streets, seeing clowns, butterflies or fairies, princesses, zombies and vampires. Some are actually cute and others are just hideous, it's like it's real.

I kept walking, not sure of what to do until someone startled me

"Boo!" someone yells behind. I didn't get scared though

"I thought you were supposed to be trick or treating?" i ask Luke

"No, I was going to be trick or treating" he laughs slightly

"Wait. From the last time I met you, you were creepy and a douche" i remind

"Yeah but today's halloween. You can be whoever you wanna be"

"And who are you today?"

"A normal person." he grins

"I agree." i roll my eyes "Normal and annoying"

He laughs, "You don't understand"

"Oh trust me I do"

"I never liked you" he admits

"Wow ! Gee! Thanks!" i hold his shoulder "You're a douche" i push him

"What i ment is, is that I never liked you till now"

"Is it because you're normal?"

"No. Because I found out you're like me."
