(This is a very short story for one of my contest entries for halloween contest that we're doing. The second one will probably be artwork. I Do not own the artwork that is presented in this story. I hope you all enjoy and DO leave feedback.)
It's Halloween night and the bitter cold of Avaleur has warmed up for one last cool fall night. The children all over the city beginning to get dressed up in their costumes and go out on a hunt to gather as much candy as possible.
However for Seth, Halloween is much more than just a holiday, it's the chance to throw the most insane haunted house ever! One that they will be talking about all year and the weather was perfect for it. All around decorations being set up by Ryn and Nat. They used fire to simulate lights. Thankfully Lianne loaned them her summer beach getaway house number two, even though there's no beach in Avaleur.
Ryn put the last of the lighting on the rooftop and watched as Seth shifted into his costume.
"Uh...Seth are you sure about this?" Ryn asked curiously.
"Of course I'm sure." Seth says shifted as a scarecrow.
"The kids will come right to the front door, we're you'll say enter if you dare." Ryn and Nat were dressed like two demons. "That's when Ryn you ignite the orb which will make giant fiery explosion but don't worry it's just an illusion.
"Then the kids will have to go into the next room where-" The sound of arguing is heard.
"What the?" Seth opens the door where Steele in his werewolf form and Namari are arguing with each other.
"All I'm saying is that sometimes it's..a little hard to understand what you're saying Steele." Namari says. Her head in a table so it looks like it's on a platter.
"So' me' accent's a problem then?" Steele asks.
"No not at all, it's just...at the bakery today."
"Ah' said ah' wanted four cak's all made oot' of dew fir' yer' birthday." Steele argues.
"But it sounded like something else....." Namari says.
"Well fine, ifin' me' accent is soo' much trouble, ah' win't talk in it at all."
"No Steele that's not what I'm saying."
"Teeooooo late." Steele replies trying to cover up his Kraven accent.
Namari sighs.
"Seth." Dante taps Seth's shoulder. "I think Walter is having trouble with his costume." Dante was wearing an evil wizards outfit while Walter who was coming downstairs was in a reanimated corpse outfit. It constricted his movement. He took two steps down the stairs and then slowly fell straight forward. Nat caught him just before hitting the ground.
"Woah, thanks Nat."
"He'll be fine." Seth says. "Where's Gwilym?"
"Takeeeng thaee pups oowwtt trick eroo treatinga." Steele says.
Seth raised his eyebrow trying to figure out what Steele just said.
"He took Chase, Razor and Olaf out trick or treating." Namari says.
"Do you ever feel like something bad's going to happen to her while she's in that box?" Dante asks.
"Don't say that, Namari's my best friend." Walter argues.
"I'm your best friend now!" Dante zaps Walter with his wand like he's an evil wizard.
"Hey what'd you do with the Cruxlings?" Nat asks Ryn.
"Oh they're out trick or treating." Ryn answers.
"By themselves?"
"Yeah they'll be fine." Ryn reassures.
"They're not the one's I'm worried about."
MEANWHILE
Chase Razor and Olaf are out and about within the city going from door to door trying to get lots of candy with Gwilym behind them. Due to his large size he wasn't as fast as the three werewolves and they constantly had to wait for him to catch up. (Admit it, you left your dad or mom too on Halloween cause you were so excited for candy lol)
The three of them hear yells of terror from far away, all three of them look up.
"What was that?" Razor asks.
"Who cares? Look at our bags." Chase says holding his up. "We've been to five houses and have got only five pieces of candy. Razor has six and that's because the lady accidentally grabbed two."
"Don't you think you're overreacting, I mean we jus' started." Olaf says.
"Overreacting? You want to see overreacting!? Look at this bag Olaf! Look at it! At this rate our candy will be gone by tomorrow! We need another plan." Chase says.
"What do you mean?" Razor says. All three of them huddle in.
"Oi' what are you kids doin'? Don't tell me your done already." Gwilym enjoyed this holiday, they didn't have this in the kingdom of Goragon.
He finally caught up with the trio. The three nod in agreement.
"Hey Gwilym, um, we're going to go to the bathroom really fast. Can you wait right here." Chase says.
"Sure mate." Gwilym says.
"Kay thanks Gwilym." The three head off.
"Oi' din't you want to leave your candy here?" Gwilym calls but the trio was gone. He shrugs his shoulder and goes to a nearby bench to await their return.
"Yes! I can't believe that worked!" Olaf says.
The three head into a wooded area, on the other side is another street where houses are. Even more so there were kids with bags full of candy.
"I'm lycan this." Razor says.
"Shut up Razor!" Chase growls. Razor had been saying lame werewolf jokes all day.
"I'm just saying Gwilym should've been more a were." Razor jokes.
"Razor I swear on everything if you keep making these jokes."
Olaf however found them hilarious and laughed. A werewolf laugh sounded very demonic because of their deep beastliness voices. The kids in the neighborhood all stopped and looked around very confused.
Chase face palms. "Alright, we're going to go up to one house, scare the pants off of them. Then grab the candy and go. Now since I'm the best scarer here-"
"Wait what? I can be way scarier than you can be." Olaf says.
"I think you're both wrong, I'm the scariest one here." Razor argues.
"Fine let's make a bet. The winner doesn't have to do chores for a week." Chase wagers.
"Deal." Olaf says.
"This is going to be the best week ever." Razor says.
The trio make their way over to the door of the first house.
"I go first." Razor knocks on the door.
An old woman comes and opens it.
Razor immediately inhales and unleashes a powerful roar right in the lady's face.
The old lady's wig flies off and so does her glasses. The door shakes from the force.
When Razor is done, the old lady laughs.
"Wooho hoho. What lovely costumes. Here you go." She gives Razor one chocolate bar and then closes the door.
Chase and Olaf then burst into laughter.
MEANWHILE
"Alright places everyone!" Seth calls as trick or treaters come to the house. He lies on a chair pretending do be a fake scarecrow.
The lights dim so that it is dark within the house.
Four kids go up the stairs passing Seth, the scarecrow.
They knock out on the door and it slowly opens.
"Enter if you dare." Ryn says in a dark voice.
"You can say this house is a blast!" Nat says.
Ryn tries to ignite the orb but nothing happens. He tries over and over again.
"Uh..just one moment.." Ryn says frantically trying to hit the orb.
"Here give it to me." Nat takes the orb and tries to ignite it too.
Dante uses the wand to create a bright fire orb that lights up the area.
The kids proceed confused.
"You can say this house is to die for." Dante waves his wand and Walter walks forward, but his constricted movement makes him slowly walk. Dante gives him a push to make him go faster but he falls down again.
The kids then head into the next room even more confused.
Steele arises from the shadows of the room.
"Weeeelcooomee tooo yooar naghtmare ho ho ho!" He says still trying to cover up his Kraven accent.
He lifts the lid off of the platter revealing Namari's head and candy.
"Steele, really?" She looks at him.
The kids shake their heads and just grab their candy and leave.
On the way out Seth jumps out to try and scare them but none of them get startled.
"Meh." One says as they leave.
"Okay cut! Guys what was that?" Nat says.
"Ryn what happened to the explosion?"
"The orb wouldn't work." Ryn says looking it over.
"Did you remove the safety tag?" Seth asks from outside.
"Oh..." Ryn says.
"Walter, Dante, you were supposed to jump out at them."
"Talk to Walter." Dante says.
"Oh that is it." Walter takes the costume off and goes into his demon form. He picks Dante and the costume up and takes him upstairs.
"Wait, Walter no I was just kidding!" The door closes upstairs.
"And Steele! What are you saying?" Nat is wide-eyed.
"Well yeeewww would tahlk theeiis waay teeoo if yeeewww were made fun of fooouur beeeeennng diffeeerent." Steele growls.
"Steele no one making fun of you for beeeeennng diffeeerent." Nat says.
"Aske' theee heeaad." Steele points to Namari and then walks off to the front door.
"Steele." Namari gets out of the table/box and follows Steele.
When Steele walks out the door-
"Raagh!" Seth jumps and scares him.
"Ah!" Steele roars and instinctively punches him in the face, knocking Seth out.
"Woah!" Namari says.
"Nice." Ryn says.
Nat punches Ryn's shoulder, "Is he okay?"
Seth groans shifting back to normal.
"Okay, get him inside." Ryn says. "Dante!' He calls trying to get Seth medical attention.
MEANWHILE
Olaf Chase and Razor have three bags full of candy after scaring the pants off the children of Avaleur. They happily travel laughing and enjoying the night.
"Hey, look." Chase points to three Cruxlings that each have a bag full of candy as big as theirs across the wood.
"If we got their bags, we could have candy for the whole next month!"
"Let's do it." Razor and Olaf agree.
Across the woods the Cruxlings walk, Ace, Abe, and Ray.
"And I was all like, I'm just saiyan." Ray snickers.
"Who knew the Whitemoore's just gave out lots of candy like this." Abe says.
"What does saiyan mean?" Ace asks. All three of them think.
"You know, I don't really know." Ray says.
Suddenly, Olaf, Chase, and Razor jump out from the darkness of the woods in front of them growling.
The three Crux jump back startled.
"Wo-woah"
"What the?"
"Give us all yer' candy if ye' want ti' live." Razor growls.
"Or else." Olaf adds.
They circle the Crux.
But the Crux weren't afraid, in fact they were ready to fight now.
Razor looked at Chase confused as to why they weren't running away like everyone else.
"Uh-Er- We mean it!" Chase barked.
"Yeah? Well so do we." Abe says pounding her fist.
"Let's get them!" Ray shouts and each one of them charge at one of the werewolves.
"Wait what!?" Chase says and the Cruxling leaps on him.
The two trios scuffle. Ray puts Chase in an arm lock, Razor pins Ace to the ground and Abe rides Olaf like a mount because Olaf doesn't hit girls.
Suddenly they all stop when they see a gigantic wolf growling right at them. It snarls, it's eyes glowing in the moonlight, looking bloodthirsty.
The six slowly back up and flee.
"Run for your lives!" Razor shouts.
The Cruxlings go back and get their bags before teleporting away again.
"Razor move your ass!" Chase yells. The three run in terror.
"Oh god it's right behind us!"
Truthfully they were down the street from it.
The wolf grins and then shifts back to normal.
"Well..." Ranulf says walking up to Kyle. "Gwilym said that they were up to something. You think they learned their lesson?"
Kyle chuckles. "Oh I don't think they'll forget this any time soon."
The trio frantically run back to Gwilym who was awaiting their return.
"Oi' where hev' you lads been ah-?"
The three run up and hug him.
"Gwilym we're sorry, we ditched you to try and go get more candy by stealing it from other people. And then someone stole our candy from us. We won't ever do it again we promise." Olaf says.
"We're sorry." Razor adds as well.
"Well lads...I hope you all learned yer lesson." Gwilym says. He looks around.
"Yeah." Chase says sullenly. "Now we have no candy at all and Halloween's almost over."
"We should just head home." Razor says.
"Nonsense, there's enough time ti' do this whole street." Gwilym reassures. "And take it from' me', these houses always save thee' best fir' last."
"Really?" Olaf asks.
"Of course." Gwilym gives a goragon smile, which literally just looks like he's opening his mouth.
"Thanks Gwilym."Chase says.
The three went to every house on the block, and soon their bags were as full as they once had them. Turns out, most houses were just conserving for the end of the night. The three had a very happy halloween.
