Chapter One: This is Halloween
Wow, finally one of the best nights of the year is here! Halloween! I was super excited mainly cause I was going to my first Halloween party with some friends. This year I was an archer. The main reason was I actually had a bow and arrow, and I know how to use them too. Thank you Girl Scouts.
The point was it was a great holiday and I was going to make the most of it...right after I finish my homework. Thankfully it's a Saturday, but I had to finish my history project. Write a paragraph on the history of Halloween. It's actually not that bad. Especially since I had Halloween music playing in the background.
My favorite was the ones from my favorite movie 'The Nightmare Before Christmas. I especially liked 'Sally's Song' and I had a weak point for 'The Boogie Man' cause somethings it's good to let your bad side out, at least in my opinion.
My name is Charlotte Douglas and I'm a Junior in High-School. It's been a rough first few months and I struggled a bit. Not just with school, but with my home life. My parents want me to go to this prep college, but (as big of a cliché it is) I want to go to a computer school. I love technology. I work on computers and help out editing videos for my school. I know my parents want me to go to the college they went to, but...I don't know that place isn't for me. It's so sophisticated, that's the word you use when you're describing the opposite of me.
I heard footsteps coming down the stairs I looked up and saw, Trevor, my younger brother. He came down into the basement and walked up to me.
"Hey Charlotte, Stephen came over and asked if I could come to his house so we can go over our plans for trick-or-treating. Can I?" He asked bouncing with excitement. I thought for a moment. My parents were out, Dad was at the store and Mom was at her book club. The wouldn't be back soon, but we knew Stephen and his family well enough.
"Yeah go ahead, he's only two houses down, but don't go anywhere else. You either are there or here, got it?" I asked sternly. He nodded and hugged me.
"Thanks sis!" He said and bolted up the stairs. I chuckled and turned back to the computer. "Well that seems to be enough...time to print!" I declared to know one in particular. Once I finished with that I started to French braid my hair.
I had pretty long rusty red hair and it could be a pain to brush, but it was nice to style. Almost half and hour later I was satisfied with my hair and put on my archer couture. Black jean leggings (or are they called jeggings? I don't know...), a black t-shirt, brown leather jacket and finally brown boots to top it off.
"Not bad. If I do say so myself." I said pleased with my archer outfit. I grabbed my bow and arrows and started walked to the garage. No weapons so the arrows had to go. People would get the idea. I made it to the family room when suddenly I felt dizzy and started to sway back and forth.
"Ug...what the?..." I muttered and fell onto the carpet. I then reached for my phone to try and call someone. I felt like I was being lifted off the ground.
"Okay this ain't being caused by pixie dust. What the heck is going...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!" I exclaimed as I was pushed up by an invisible force super fast like I was on a surprise roller coaster. Then I felt whatever was pushing me up stop and I was falling.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!" I cried as the world started to fade and then slowly became dark.
I opened my eyes and shot up quickly. "What huh?" I gasped and turned around. It was a familiar setting. It was my high school cafeteria.
"Oh come on! It's a flipping Saturday!" I exclaimed and punched a wall in frustration. After that was out of my system I checked to see what I had.
"Okay, I have my bow and arrows, phone that's fully charged and...I'm at my school on a Saturday." I muttered and rubbed my head.
"Excuse me, but can you help me?" A sweet like voice asked. I took a breath and turned around. "Sure, what do you..." My breath shortened when I saw who was asking.
There, standing right in front of me, was none other than Sally the ragdoll from Nightmare Before Christmas.
