I was walking home looking around me… Then I passed that home. The Myers home. 15 years ago, I lived two houses down from them. (Now I live four blocks away) I was friends with one of the Myers. Michael to be exact. We did not talk much but we understood each other. Well sort of. No one got along with him. I understood him… His loneliness, the demons inside his head. However, I was a different case from him. I had salvation… He did not. When my parents found out I hung out with him they threatened me. They threatened me to move and I did not want to be away from him. I had no choice but to do so. He later got mad at me and whenever we would see each other, he looked at me with hate. Later October 31... That is when the tragedy happened. Michael Myers killed his sister. I look at the house and see someone. I look back at my notebook then back at the house and see nothing. It was just my mind playing games! I finally get home and find my sister Alex with her friend Lily.

"Hey dope"

"Shut up I'm finishing my homework"

"Hey Lily"

"Hello Vanessa. Is it okay if we go trick or treating?"

"Sure don't be out to long okay"

"I'm not a baby you know"

"You're only 12"

"But I'm old enough to start taking care of myself"

"Okay just don't be out to long"

"Okay we promise," They both said at the same time. Lily picked up her belongings and headed out the door with Alex

"Where's your costume?"

"Left it at Lily's. I brought it to school"

"Then why'd you come here?"

"To ask for permission duh!" Alex joked. I laughed

"Okay whatever, good bye you two" Alex and her friend leave. I decide to take a quick shower and watch television before I head out. Just then, the doorbell rings. It was my friends Kathy and Emily.

"Hey guys"

"We are inviting you to our Halloween costume party!"

"Since when were you two throwing a party?"

"Well actually Katherine is. Her father is out of town and he gave her permission to throw a Halloween party. So what do you say?"

"I don't know guys I don't even have a costume. I also have to watch that Alex comes back"

"Um hello earth to Vanessa! You know Emily's father owns a costume shop. She has loads of costumes at her home!"

"Okay fine I'll go" they both jumped with joy

"Good then lets go" We walk to Emily's house. She goes upstairs in the attic and comes down with a box full of costumes. Kathy picked out a nurse costume and Emily picked out a little red riding hood costume. I choose to be a vampire girl.

"I have to get going… Steven is probably waiting for me to decorate and set things up. See you guys later" She takes her costume and waves goodbye.

"So you like your costume Vanessa?"

"It's okay"

"You don't like it, well pick out another one"

"All of those are to open if you know what I mean"

"You mean they are skirts and short ones"

"Yup"

"You're silly. Well I am going to change. You're changing here or at your place?"

"My place… I want to call my parents and check up on my sister"

"You're such a goody two shoes"

"I can't help it," I laugh.

"Hurry up and come pick me up okay"

"Sure see you in a few minutes" I walk out her house and walk back to my house. Luckily, we only lived a few blocks away from each other. When I got home, I called my parents at the shoe store. (They own a shoe store)

"Hey mom? When are you guys coming home?"

"We should be home very soon sweetie. How's Alex?"

"She's okay. She went trick or treating"

"Make sure she's safe okay" I roll my eyes… Ugh parents

"Yes mom. She knows this block pretty well and besides she's with a friend"

"Just make sure she comes back and doesn't go to her friend's house"

"Hey Vanessa" Alex said coming back with her friend Lily and Thomas

"See she's back mom"

"Could you ask mom if my friends could stay? Their parents will come late and they don't have anyone to watch over them"

"Mom did you hear that?"

"Yes I did… They could stay if you watch them"

"But mom I have a party"

"Now you have a party with 3 little kids," my mom giggled

"Mom I barely go out" I whined

"Don't make me feel guilty… Oh, fine. We are half an hour away anyways"

"Thanks mom"

"Tell them to watch a movie while you're gone"

"Okay bye mom"

"Bye sweetie. Be safe"

"Sure will" I hang up the phone.

"Mom said they could stay here. They should be here in half an hour"

"Where are you going?"

"To a party"

"Will Joe be there?" she said trying to make me blush

"Maybe I don't know. You kids watch a movie if you want. I am out of here!" I was happy to go to the Halloween party. Kathy was a lot of fun and I was sure the party was going to be the same. I was really hoping that Joe would be there. I walked over to Emily's house. The front door was open.

"Emily?" I said as I walked in. No one answered

"Emily?" I walked upstairs to her room and did not find her. I looked everywhere in the house and had no luck. She must have left me! I decided to walk to Kathy's. If she was already, there I was going to strangle her.

"Hey finally you made it! The party already started. Where's Emily?"

"I thought she already came"

"No" suddenly, Steven puts his arms around her waist

"Hey Vanessa babe" he winks at me. Kathy play slaps him

"That nickname is only for me" she kisses him

"Come on Kathy obviously something happened. When I went back to her house, the front door was open. No one was there"

"That is weird. Tell you what… let's go look for her"

"You now she probably just forgot to lock the door. You know how ditzy she is"

"But why isn't she here?" I responded to Steven.

"Come on lazy ass. Let's go and look for her"

"Fine you win babe" we walk over to Emily's house. The front door was closed this time. I had left it open out of fright for Emily. We knock on the door and the door opens on its own

"Weird" Steven said. We separated and looked for her.

"Emily?" I saw Emily's room with the lights off. When I first looked for her, the lights were on. I slowly walked inside… With my heart beating rapidly. I turn the doorknob and turn on the lights. Empty… However, when I turn around I see Emily… Emily's body on the door. A knife was in her stomach. I stood there shocked. I began to shake and I screamed.

"AHHH!" Kathy walks in the room and looks at Emily's body

"What the fuck! Who the f*ck did this!" She screamed.

"Let's get the hell out of here and call the cops"

"I ditto that… Where is Steven? Steven!" Kathy yelled as we headed downstairs… However, no one answered "Steven you bastard where are you!"

"I don't think we're alone in the house Kathy," I said… If Steven did not answer, it only meant one thing

"Don't say that!" Kathy yelled crying in fright "Steven!" We looked everywhere for him everywhere but there was no trace.

"Let's get out of here Kathy"

"But Steven"

"Look he doesn't answer, we looked everywhere for him and he's not here" Just then we heard something drop from the top of the stairs. We turn around and see that what dropped was Steven's body. Kathy runs crying to Steven's body. I look up and see who threw the body

"Michael?" I said nervously. Kathy looks up and screams. Michael starts walking downstairs with a knife in his hand… Covered in blood.

"Kathy run!"
