AN: I've always wanted to do a Spirit of Halloween x Guardians story and now I finally can! I'll only continue if you guys like it though. I don't want to waste my time. Anyway here we go...

It was a dark, windy night. The sky was filled with dark clouds that were settling in for the upcoming rain storm. The wind was blowing at a tremendous speed, causing houses to shake as well as the nerves of scared young children. Their nerves were not settled once the winds started to howl.

Younger children, such as the now 7 year old Sophie Bennett, have fled to the protection of their mother; rambling on about monsters under the beds, in the closets, and the werewolves howling outside.

Other children, specifically the older teenage ones, are not as scared. They didn't shiver in fear of the howling wind, but rather howled with it. Such as 14 year old Jamie Bennett and his friends Klaud, Klaus, Cupcake, and Pippa.

Monty, however, was an exception. Just like Sophie, he too was scared and wanted the comfort of his mother. However, he knows that can't happen. He's spending the night with Jamie. He knows he'll have to suck it up and try to be brave. Just like he was when he helped defeat the boogeyman: Pitch Black.

All six teens were huddled together inside the pillow and sheet fort they had made a few hours prior and were telling stories. More specifically, ghost stories. It's a Saturday night and also October 1st. It's also about to storm.

It's absolutely a perfect way to start off October.

"Can you guys please stop howling?" Monty pleaded in a shaky voice. "It's making my ears ring."

Cupcake gave him a punch to the shoulder. "You talking is making my ears ring."

Monty glared at her as he rubbed his shoulder. "Can we please just get back to Jamie's story?"

"Oh yeah!" Jamie exclaimed. "Where did I leave off?"

Klaud looked off into the distance with wide eyes, mocking Jamie, and said, "One by one each of the teenagers who dared to trespass into the Witch's Graveyard were found dead..."

Jamie's friends giggled while Jamie merely rolled his eyes.

"I do not sound like that." He argued.

Klaud shrugged. "Whatever you say man."

Jamie shook his head, and continued where he left off.

"Anyway, as I was saying:

...one by one each of the teenagers who dared to trespass into the Witch's Graveyard were found dead in the most gruesome way.

Teresa was found with a burning hot curling iron shoved down her throat. Tommy was found with a machete jabbed in his head and two smaller knives in his eyes.

Sarah was found burned to death in a tanning booth. And Samuel, the one who suggested they sneak in and destroy the Witch's land, was found dead in the lake.

His biggest fear was water and he drowned. He was driving out of town when he saw the witch on the bridge. He got scared and lost control of the car. Personally, I believe it was the Witch who used her magic to cause the car to plummet down to the cold water below.

Anyway, his soul, along with his friends' souls belong to the Witch, forever trapped in her clutches in eternal damnation. Some say that to this day, if you listen close enough, you can hear their screams for help and the Witch's laughter echoing in the wind."

Jamie stopped talking and closed his eyes. His friends looked at one another with uncertainty, but hesitantly did the same. They fort was filled with silence as the teenagers listened to the wind.

This is exactly what Jamie wanted. He opened one of his eyes to make sure his friends weren't looking. He took a deep breath and at the top of his lungs he let out a scream.

All at once his friends let out ear piercing screams that were sure to wake up his mother and neighborhood.

Twins Klaud and Klaus were holding each other, Cupcake was hiding under the blankets with Pippa, and Monty was rocking himself back and forth, his head buried in his arms.

Jamie was laughing hysterically, and was finding it hard to breathe. "Oh my god! Hahahaha! You...ahahaha...my sides and cheeks hurt...ahahaha!"

When his friends recovered they all glared at him. Klaud and Klaus threw their pillows at him and said together in unison, "You jerk!"

Cupcake came out from under the blankets and punched him hard in the arm...twice.

"That was so not cool," she growled.

Jamie winced at the pain, but kept laughing.

"We're gonna get you back for that," Said Pippa, who was secretly admiring how cute Jamie's laugh is.

"Yeah," Monty agreed, trying to be tough, "you better...uh...you better watch yourself...watch your back? Ugh! You know what I mean!"

Jamie finally calmed down and wiped his tears away. He let out a few deep breaths before he said, "I'm sorry, but you all should have seen that coming."

Before any of them could reply, footsteps were heard coming down the stairs, followed by the voice of Jamie's mother.

"Kids," she said in a panicked voice. "Are you okay? I heard screaming. Is everything alright? What's wrong? What happened?"

Jamie sighs as he crawls out of the fort. "Everything is fine," he said to his mother.

She was standing right outside the fort entrance and was looking down at her son with worried eyes. "Are you sure? What-"

"I just scared my friends," Jamie explained, "We're all fine. I promise."

Miss Bennett sighed in annoyance and exhaustion. "Make sure it doesn't happen again. I don't want the neighbors to come over and start complaining."

Jamie salutes and says, "Yes ma'am. It won't happen again."

She retreats back to her room and her son crawls back inside his fort. He was greeted with glares.

"Yeah," said Pippa, "it better not happen again."

Jamie chuckled. "I make no promises, Pip." He couldn't help but think how cute Pippa looked when she was angry. She was like a bunny. More specifically Bunnymund when he was shrunken down four years ago. Cute, but deadly.

Pippa was grateful it was dark enough so no one could see her blush. Jamie is the only person who has ever called her Pip. He's the only person allowed to. Cupcake knows exactly way, and she couldn't help but smirk at her only girl friend.

"Hey, I got a question," Klaus says, gaining everyone's attention. "You know how we have North, the Spirit of Christmas, and Bunny, the Spirit of Easter? Well, what about the Spirit of Halloween? Do you think there's a spirit for that?"

His brother Klaud was quick to answer. "Of course there is! I mean, I've never seen this spirit nor have I heard the Guardians say anything about this spirit, but come on. If there's a spirit for Christmas and Easter then there is obviously a spirit for Halloween."

Monty, who always thinks the worst, says, "What if it's an evil spirit like Pitch?"

There was a moment of silence as the memories of the battle played in their minds. For once Monty was actually right. Halloween is usually associated with evil, wicked things. What if the Spirit of Halloween is evil?

"That's very... stereotypical," Cupcake thoughtfully said. "Just because Halloween is usually associated with all things wicked doesn't mean the Spirit of Halloween is wicked too. He or she is probably really nice."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Pippa, who is the closest to Cupcake, knew that Cupcake was also referring to herself and felt a pang of sympathy for her friend.

"Plus," Cupcake continued, "if the Spirit of Halloween is evil, wouldn't he or she have done something by now?"

"Maybe something did happen and the Halloween Spirit was defeated," Pippa guessed. "Isn't that what happened to Pitch?"

"Yeah!" Monty agreed. "And just like Pitch, the spirit is resting to regain its strength to seek revenge."

"What if," Klaud began.

"Something evil is going on right now?!" Klaus finished.

Cupcake scoffed. "Please! The Guardians would have told us...right?"

"Probably not," Pippa answered. "They wouldn't want us to worry. Plus, they know dang well that we'd do everything in our power to help, and the last thing they want is for us to be a part of another battle."

"Honestly," Klaud said smartly, "The Guardians have everything under control. If something bad is going on they'll handle it."

"I guess you're right," Jamie speaks up. "But you know who can answer our question about the Halloween Spirit? I'll give you a hint: he's our best friend."

Knowing smiles appeared on his friends' faces.

"He's fun," says Klaud.

"He's a Guardian," Klaus added.

"He's the bringer of Winter," Cupcake joined in.

"He can fly," says Monty.

"He's also super hot," Pippa boldly says, causing her and Cupcake to giggle. The boys rolled their eyes.

"He," Jamie continued, "is the one and only mischievous Jack Frost! Next time he comes for a visit I'll ask him about the Spirit of Halloween. Jack visits often so we should get our answer soon. He'll probably be here tomorrow."

"And in the meantime," Cupcake says, taking over, "I'll be the one telling the ghost stories."

She turned her flashlight on and flipped it upwards, casting off a shadow on her face. "Are any of you familiar with Crybaby Bridge?"

Cupcake smiled wickedly when her friends shook their heads. "Perfect. I'd tell you to sit back and relax, but relaxing will be the last thing on your mind."

"Oh great," Monty sarcastically said as he pulled the blankets over his head. "Just what I needed."

Cupcake grinned and cleared her throat. "It all started many summers ago..."
