Alfred and his slightly older twin brother Matthew were racing down the street on their way to their friend Kikus for a Halloween party he was throwing at his estate. Alfred had given the idea to Kiku who agreed and said his parents would be out of town the night so they could have the estate to themselves and the fellow partygoers. Kiku as myself seemed a little nervous at the idea but Alfred was all out for it. Alfred knew this was his chance to wear his new costume he recently bought and would be able to show it off.
He was dressed as a Cowboy sheriff from back in the day with the boots, gold badge and everything. Matthew on he other hand wasn't so keen on dressing up but Alfred insisted and stated that he wouldn't want to be seen with a Halloween Scrooge. Matthew not really knowing what that meant he finally gave in and picked out some of his old worn out hockey gear to wear because he refused to be something scary, which disappointed Alfred a bit so he made a few little tweaks to complete his brothers look waiting for sun down.
"Alfred! Will you please slow down!?" Matthew huffed out while trying to keep up with his twin brother. Alfred was running full spend down the street knocking into people now and then with people shaking their heads at the energetic blonde mumbling stuff under their breath. Matthew tried to keep up and apologized to the people passing by whom his twin had bumped into.
"Come on dude hurry up! You don't want to be late do ya?" Alfred yelled over his shoulder not bothering to stop. Matthew signed pushing his legs harder trying to pick up his pace a little.
Although Matthew was fast he was nowhere close to Alfred's speed. Alfred had always beaten him in sports when it came to physical activities. Well not hockey of course, which was Matthews's favorite sport because he loved the game and the fact he was better than Alfred at it.
"Come on Al if anything I'm sure we will be early! So can you please so down!" Matthew yelled out to him then slowed down to a jog before he finally stopped and leaned against a near wall. Breathing heavily from being so hot under all his hockey pads and gear he had on. Although he thought it was silly to fully dress up Alfred insisted on it to complete the look for the party.
Alfred glanced over to shoulder to notice his twin was not behind him no longer and stopped. He jogged back around the corner to find Matthew huffing and puffing leaning down against a wall.
"Uh dude are you okay? You don't look so good." Alfred said pushing his eyebrows together looking at his brother's heavy breathing and red face covered in sweat. Matthew looked up almost frustrated as if he was missing something. Starring at Alfred breathing in before saying.
"Well maybe if I didn't have all these pads on I wouldn't be having a heat stroke right now and would be able to keep up to you!" Sticking it right to him. "We aren't late in the first place yet you bolted right out the door as soon as it got dark and left me!" He said pointing a finger at his brother then went back to leaning his head down and putting his hands on his knees.
Alfred groaned and put his thumbs into his side pockets leaning back looking up at the moon. The moon was full tonight and had an orange-red tint to it. Perfect for Halloween he thought.
"Sorry Mattie, guess I was just overly excited about this party we're going to tonight." Alfred sighed out looking back down at brother. Matthew looked up at him smiling to himself.
"Yeah you seem to get like that a lot. Probably more often than normal people." He said raising himself off the wall and putting an arm around Alfred for support. Alfred grinned not knowing to take that as a compliment or as an insult but decided to let it slide. Alfred put his arm around Matthew as well and continued down the street.
"I guess we can take it at your slow pace since we are already pretty close to Kikus house from here I think." He said looking down one street then other deciding which to take. Matthew noticed his pause and blank stare. Groaning he started pulling Alfred down the right street leading him in the right direction as usual. "No matter how many times you go to his house you never seem to remember where Kiku lives and always make the wrong turn." Matthew said shaking his head for his no sense in direction for brother.
"Hey that's not true! It's just dark outside and I can't see properly!" Alfred protested "plus I don't have my glasses on so its twice as hard to see!" he added squinting his eyes a bit looking around.
Glasses or not when it came to sense in direction Alfred had absolutely no one. Always picking the wrong street to go down no matter how many times he's been down the correct one. He just never admitted it to himself because heroes always knew the right way.
Shortly after walking down along the sidewalk down the street they turned onto a trail leading into the woods. Alfred winced looking into the woods hoping Matthew would have second thoughts like he was having but continued on. Walking into the woods made Alfred nervous but Matthew didn't seem to mind. Alfred looked around at all the aged grown trees bare with no life that bordered along the trail.
The trees swayed a bit from the cool autumn breeze causing them to creak and scratch at each other. The trees led off into a darkness Alfred couldn't see past and made him shutter thinking of the things that could be hiding in there watching them. They walked along in complete silence but for sound of the crunching leaves they stepped on in the path below them and Alfred's noisy teeth chattering.
Alfred felt a chill go up his spin as he heard something behind him and a cool breeze being blown onto the back of his neck making his hairs stand on end. Then could have sworn he heard a slight chuckle being carried by the wind above. He latched onto Matthew while slowly scanning the area ahead but to scared to look back behind him. Matthew felt his squeeze and shook his head knowing Alfred's state. Being used to it since they were little kids. Alfred has always had a thing for the dark and hasn't seemed to ever grow out of it. Even being the 17-year-old man he is today.
"Listen Al." he began. "If this freaks you out then we can turn around and take the long way through the park if you like eh?" he asked slowing to a stop and pointing to where the entrance should be. Alfred not completely noticing him from being distracted almost bumped into his brother's back. Alfred stood up straight and tried to calm his facial expression and his chattering looking confused at his brother.
"What? You think I'm scared? Psh what makes you think that?" he asked trying to make his voice steady from being slightly shaky. Matthew raised an eyebrow looking right through Alfred's lie signing then closed his eyes knowing how touchy and protective Alfred can get about his fears always wanting to sound brave. "You know what I mean Al. It's just I thought this way would be quicker to Kikus house yeah?"
Sparking interest in Alfred's face he remembered where they have been making their way to again. Kiku was having this big Halloween party, which Alfred had pressured into doing so. He was to excited when Kiku agreed and has been counting down the days till it was time. He was confused when he realized that going into the woods has made him forget all about it. Matthew stared waiting for his answer tapping his foot eyeing Alfred who seemed deep in thought. Alfred knew it was the fastest way to Kikus house through here and he has taken the path many times but only during the day light. Avoided it the best as he could when the sun had set.
He came to a decision and putt his thoughts aside that were yelling at him to turn around and run as fast as he can back out the way they entered. Plus he was dressed as a Sheriff and Sheriffs were brave right? "Yeah your totally right man! The faster we get to the party the better!" he exclaimed putting his hands on his hips masking his fear and put on a brave look.
He grabbed ahold of Matthew again and started pulling him along down the path in a fast pace keeping him close. Matthew laughed at his brother's sudden act of bravery and let himself be continued dragged along beside him down the trail.
Alfred glanced around every now and then getting this strange feeling as though something had been watching them since he felt the cool breath on the back of his neck. Not wanting to scare himself even more he pushed that aside and kept a straight line of sight down the path leading them to the exit thinking about how cool people were going to think his costume was and the sweets Kiku has promised would be there. Being distracted by the happy thoughts he failed to notice a pair of red gleaming eyes watching them from the trees above.
