The beginnings
It was a cold windy day in Halloween Town; the streets were littered with trash from the Halloween Festival last night. Sally was caught in an argument with her first child, Cassandra. Cassandra was almost twenty-three years old now, she was farily tall like her father, but would look almost exactly like Sally if not for her black hair and green eyes.
"Cassandra, haven't i told you not to wonder on your own!? You know your father and I get worried!," Sally explained,"We don't want you getting hurt."
Cassandra rolled her eyes in disgust, "Not like there's anything out there. It's so boring here somtimes I can't stand it! If you weren't busy trying to nag at me maybe I wouldn't go off alone ni the first place!"
Sally would have slapped Cassandra right then if Jack hadn't came in the door."Work was rough, you won't belive....did I miss somthing?" Jack looked at thier angry faces, puzzled.
"They're at it again," Jack, Sally, and Cassandra look up to see Aidan coming down the steps. Aidan was eighteen years old. He looked like a younger Jack, and he was wearing an all black suit with a silver spider pin above his heart,"They've been yelling at each other ever since Cas got home. I swear, now i'm getting aggitated by thier bickering. I'm going to find Spleech, see you guys later."
When Aidan was gone Jack started to ask questions, "What's this all about?"
Sally said Cassandra was out late again and Cassandra yelled at her, "Why don't you leave me the Fuck alone, all I want to do is get away from this shitty place, DAMN!"
Jack's mouth fell wide open and Sally answered in rage,"You're old enough, if you hate it here so badly why don't you just leave then?!"
Cassandra headed towards the door, turned around and flipped Sally off. The house shook after she slammed the door. Sally started crying and Jack took her hand,"I don't know what to do about her anymore Jack."He wiped the tear from her eye and said, " She's older now, Halloween Town is just too small for her."

"Hey, isn't that your sister?" Spleech asked Aidan.
Aidan looked up at the short mangled looking boy with a freekishly huge head and a dangling right eye, "Yeah, her and my mom got into a huge argument today, if you ask me I think she should just get her own place already,"
Spleech looked at him then back at Cassandra."Do you think she should be out by herself?
Aidan looked at Spleech and replied, "She knows what's out there, I know she does."

The more she walked into the woods, the darker it got, she didn't quite know where she was going, but she could feel his presence was somewhere near. He was the only reason she sneeked out at night, he was the only one who could comfort her, he was the one that caused all of her arguments with her mother, he was the one who killed for her. Cassandra was filled with relif when she saw him, her one true friend. He was leaning on the front gate to his cabin. That gate was some how mesmorising to her. It was covered in vines and copied the intricate design of a spider's web. She looked at him and he smiled back, showing his sharp fangs. His name was Draven, as far as Cassandra knew he had no last name. Draven was a mysteriuos demon with a thist for blood, not quite a vampire, but somthing else. He had pitch black hair that was cut short and spiky, stone cold grey eyes, and an upside-down crusifix around his neck. For some reason he was wearing all white.
"Is is her again?"Draven asked while playing with the black spider in his hand,"If it is I can help you."He paused to look up at her, "I can make eveything go away, just give me the command."
Cassandra's expression remained emotionless but inside she was ripping apart.If only everything would go away and only the two of them would remain."I just don't want it to happen again, I couldn't sleep for days, I just..." her voice broke off.
Draven stood up and gently touched the spider in his hand. He looked into her eyes for what seemed an eternity. Cassandra's heart raced until she could bear it no longer and looked away. He turned to play with the spider once again, paused to take a breath, and crushed it. Cassandra,surprised, gasped and stepped back. Draven came closer to her and wispered in her ear,"I can make eveything go away."
