Disclaimer: I do not own Halloween nor do I own Michael Myers.
Leighton Miller was a normal 23 year old girl with a past. Taking college classes and majoring in criminal psychology. She has a secret. 17 years ago Leighton lived next door to the Myers house. Michael and her were best friends, until the day he was taken away. After he murdered his sister, her boyfriend and his step-dad, Leighton never saw her friend again. She's heard all the stories and knows what he has done. She's tried hard to forget about him, but she can't. Leighton remembers when the two went swimming in Haddonfield's creek and trick or treating together the year before he was gone. He was her best friend.
17 years have passed by since I last saw him. 17. 'Why can't I forget him.' I thought to myself combing my long light brown hair. I had to head out soon for my college classes. It was 3 days before Halloween and I still haven't gotten my costume, great. I bet the discount store is going to have the price up on everything. I sighed, walking out into the crisp fall air I felt different. I don't know what, but I felt something weird. I didn't know what it was so I ignored it and walked to my car. My precious silver Mercedes Benz, I spent my lifetime saving up for it.
I reached the community college of Haddonfield, Illinois. I went through my day normal, but with a weird cold feeling around me. After my classes finished I headed to my part-job, I didn't have enough time for a full-time job. Working at the gas station wasn't my idea of fun, I still had to go get a costume. After my shift finished at 8:00 p.m I headed down to the discount store to find a costume. I'm normally not picky about costumes, but I had a feeling my costume had to be perfect. I spent at least an hour looking through the most poorly made costumes I've ever laid my eyes on before I found the costume I wanted. At last I finally decided on a Alice in Wonderland costume. It came with a blond wig, a blue dress with a white apron, some leggings, and a black head band. It wasn't slutty or anything, but I felt good in it. My friends have recently been trying to get me out on dates, I haven't been to comfortable to be on one yet. I guess I'm just still waiting for the man to sweep me off my feet.
When I left the discount store, I felt that strange chill again. I was wearing a heavy sweater so it wasn't that I was cold. It was dark outside and I could barely see 30 feet away from me, and no, I don't need glasses. I turned around to take a good look of everything, and I saw something. A man was walking away from the store and down the streets, it looked like he had his Halloween mask on already. I let it be. What harm is there to a man eager for Halloween?
When I got home it was about 9:30, and I wasn't to tired. I didn't have any early classes tomorrow, so I decided to watch some movies. My house gets pretty dark and quiet, except for my dog, Oreo. Oreo's practically the only thing that keeps my house alive. I was watching a horror movie, not sure which one, but Oreo decided she needed to go outside. It was 11:30 and she's normally asleep, but whatever. She had to pee whats wrong with that? So I let her out and she did her business, but I saw something weird in my neighbors house. The Myers house. There was someone in it. I didn't want myself to be crazy, no one has entered that house in ages. I guess the sleep is catching up on me. I took a shower before I hopped into bed and read a book for a little bit before falling asleep.
