*Halloween Story written in Etcetera's POV*
I woke up to the most incredibly frightening scream I'd ever heard in my life. I hesitantly got up and ran to see what it was. Then, as I turned the corner I see my sister, Victoria curled up in a ball. She is crying and shaking rapidly. She looked awful, much different than usual. Both of us were still for a moment before she picked her head up slowly to look at me. She eyes were red and wide, she looked as if she'd just seen a ghost. I ran up to her and hugged her and told her it was all just a nightmare… but she pushed me away and told me that it wasn't. "I wasn't dreaming Etcy. It, whatever it was… it was here, and it tried to hurt me…" she said, shaking even harder then she was before. I had no idea how I could comfort her. What is she talking about? I thought to myself. If this thing was real, why on Earth would it want to hurt Vicky? She sniffled one last time, and the rest of the night was dead silence.
The next morning Victoria was acting very strange. She refused to talk to anyone, and she wouldn't eat. She wouldn't even leave her room. When her boyfriend Plato came over, she just shook her head. She didn't want to see any visitors I suppose. I thought it might be best to tell Old D about what happened last night. I walked to his den casually, as if I was just taking a stroll instead of going to tell Old Deuteronomy about my sister going insane.
I knocked on the door and he welcomed me with a reassuring smile. We sat down facing each other. "Something is wrong." He said after a few seconds. "You haven't broken anything yet."
I gave a very fake sounding giggle. "Well, I think something happened to Vick last night. She woke up screaming and then when I came to see what was wrong, she said "IT was here, and IT was trying to kill me." And now she refuses to eat or talk to anybody, she just sits there…" I said. I was very concerned by the look that appeared on Old D's face once I said that.
He stood up and began to look out the window. "Etcetera, are you sure that Victoria wasn't just dreaming?" he said in a stern voice. I was starting to get worried. I shrugged. "Well, she said it wasn't a dream, but I don't know." I said nonchalantly. He turned around and gave me a mean look, a look that seemed so wrong on his face.
"I want you to listen to me Etcetera, and I want to remember this. DO NOT let Victoria sleep alone tonight." He exclaimed shuffling through his stuff. "Put these in her food." He continued, handing me these oddly colored pills. I gave him a "damn senile old man" look. He gave me an "I wanna kill you right now" look in return. I took the pills from him and nodded. I walked out without another word. Now I was more scared then I was before. I really wished he'd have explained it to me.
"And Etcetera!"
NO!
"Yes?"
He paused. "Hurry."
Should I continue? I'm sorry if you don't like it it's not really my style of writing. :P but I wanted to do something for Halloween… so for my subscribers, here it is!
