As all may know Halloween is a time for the neighborhood children to knock on doors and beg for candy. For most kids it's mainly the candy for others it's all about dressing and becoming someone else for a while.

For two kids it wasn't always about the candy and dressing up. It was about the adventure that they had shared together. Rubi and Mason were brother and sister. They were fraternal twins. Rubi was older by ten minutes and she never let her brother forget it. She was 5'5" with waist long brown streaked hair and blinding silver eyes. She had pale skin, which made almost everyone she met think that she was a sickly girl. This night she transformed herself into a vampire. She wore a black strapless corset, along the back of it the lace looked like spider webs. She wore a short black skirt with long black stockings and pumps. Her brown hair was down, and her fake fangs were placed in her mouth with a paste that lasted for only 2 hours. Enough time to scare some of the neighborhood kids. Mason on the other hand was 5'9" with black hair. His hairstyle was what most call "emo". He had eyes so dark they looked black as night, and opposite of his sister he had skin that looked tan so most people thought him an active boy though he was very thin. This night he was a dead groom. He wore a torn up tux (that was his fathers') and he had "blood" on his face and down his neck his eyes looked bloodshot and dead. His shoes were, of course, black and his hair was messy and looked like he climbed out of a grave because he had dirt in it and on his shoulders.

Well this Halloween night the brother and sister wanted to go on the best adventure that they could before being forced away from each other. If you are wondering why they were going to separate, their parents were well known government scientists that had an act of performing risky and dangerous experiments (from which most people believed the mysterious eye color of their children originated). One day, while conducting an experiment, they had mysteriously disappeared and were nowhere to be found. The government thought it would be the best thing to seperate the kids even though the kids had disapproved.

"Mase," began Rubi, her silver eyes looked up after t.p.ing the house of the old lady down the road.

"Yeah?"

"Lets have one last most awesome adventure."

"Dur, where to sis?"

"Those woods." As Rubi said this she pointed out straight ahead and Mason turned to look into the forbidden forest.

"Ladies first." He said bowing low and rising, smirking as he did this.

"Well go on then" replied Rubi laughing hard as her brother stuck his nose up into the air and walked off shaking his hips as he did so.

"Thank you." He said in a high- pitched voice.

Within the woods the trees ruffles were heard. Mason and Rubi were brave but not stupid and they knew that their way was lost but still sang and had fun and played while passing. While they were playing Mason had pushed Rubi so hard she fell and he continued walking and laughing. After a few seconds his laughter died away and he looked around hoping to see her brushing dirt off herself.

"OK Rub you're not funny anymore."

He started getting worried and walked toward where she fell. He walked not to far and saw Rubi looking at a tree as if lost in a trance. As if pretending to answer a question he talked to her like an infant.

"Yes Wubi," he said in a mock baby voice, "dat is a twee. Now wet's go befoe the evil twee monster gets you."

"Shut up. Look what's on the twee" she responded rolling her eyes.

Mason looked up and saw the face of a pumpkin on the tree.

"Mason it looks like a door." She extended her hand to the knob. "Let's go and get out of this hell hole."

Mason stopped her arm and said in a whisper, "I don't trust this. I have a bad feeling. Com'on let's go."

He turned around pulling her behind him. Rubi got herself out of his grip and ran back to the door. Mason turned and tried to pull her back but she was too fast for him. She pulled the knob and saw…. Nothing.

"See Mason," she said smiling, "there is nothing to worry about."

"Hahaha yeah I guess you're right." He said turning away from her. "Now really let's-."

Before he could finish he heard her scream and turned in time to see her fall into the tree and before the door closed he jumped in after her.

They were both falling in darkness. Mason pulled his sister close to him to try and protect her. After falling in the darkness for a bit, they hit solid ground. Rubi got up first and helped her brother up and looked around. She saw a scarecrow. Well it looked like one except for the pumpkin head. Mason stood behind her and put his hand on her shoulder and said,

"I don't think that it's safe here. We have got to go back."

He turned but the tree that they had come out had disappeared in fact there was no longer a tree.

"What the hell?" He turned to see that his sister was looking over the shoulders of the scarecrow.
