Author's Note: All the characters from my previous fanfictions are in this, including Jeiel Marqui from "A Jeiel Among Gorillaz". If you want to understand how she came to be in the Gorillaz then read, "A Jeiel Among Gorillaz", otherwise, have fun being confused. ;) ;) ;) ;) Also, these holidays are based on Christian and U.S. holidays. I apologize if I don't have a specific holiday on here that you may want to see. If you want me to add a holiday I haven't mentioned yet, then PM and I'll do some research and see what I can do.:)
Disclaimer: I don't own Gorillaz.
Murdoc awoke to the amazing feeling of the darkest day of the year, Halloween! Feeling giddy like a child at Christmas, he hopped out of bed to make sure all preparations were in order. Fake tombstones were placed around the yard. It reminded Murdoc back when the Gorillaz had actually lived in a cemetery, Good Times! He thought joyfully to himself. Plastic bones scattered the front porch ominously. Black, orange, green, and purple LED lights where strung along the house. A huge cobweb lay decoratively on a window, a huge electronic spider scuttled around the web.
He went downstairs and grabbed a piece of candy from the Treat-Or-Treater's candy bowl. 2D sat rubbing his eyes in the living room, trying to watch some TV. Jeiel sleepily walked over to sit down next to 2D. Russel, who had been up for awhile, was pondering why Murdoc could be so happy in the morning. Noodle came down the stairs yawning then grabbed some orange juice out of the fridge for herself.
"How is everybody doing on this marvelous occasion." Murdoc asked everyone.
"To what occasion do we owe the pleasure?" Noodle asked.
"Halloween!" Murdoc happily cried. This had been the happiest any of the band members had seen him lately.
"Oh ya, I forgot about that." Russel yawned. Everyone had gotten a special Halloween outfit for tonight. The Gorillaz had planned on going to a raging costume party in honor of the dark night.
As 6:30 rolled around and night loomed forward, the Gorillaz were almost ready to go to the Halloween party. Russel came down the steps in a mummy costume. His bandages tightly wrapped around his body. One bandage had been slightly rolled off and was in the hands of "Cleopatra", or in this case, Noodle. They had themed together resembling ancient Egypt.
Murdoc who was the first to be done, was dressed in a black leather, two vampire-like fangs hung out his mouth.
"Nice toliet paper." Murdoc shouted to Russel.
"Where's your costume Mudz, you look the same." Russel playfully returned. Next came 2D, he was a zombie. His clothes were torn and dirty with fake blood. His blue hair tossed in a messy, but cute way. Heavy zombie makeup was caked on 2D's face, it looked good.
"Like the makeup? Jeiel did it." 2D asked.
"Speaking of Jeiel, whats taking so long?" Murdoc asked pretending to look at a wrist-watch that didn't exist.
"I dunno, she didn't show me her costume. Said it was a surprise." 2D replied. Suddenly, Jeiel came down the steps. Mouths dropped open as Jeiel revealed her costume to be a Gothic stripper. Large, lacy spike heel boots covered her feet. She wore pink fishnets and a tight black mini-skirt. A low-cut, glittery corset was strapped to her upper torso. Her blonde hair in large curls. Eye makeup heavy and dark with brilliant red lipstick.
"You know, I had a feeling you worked the corner, but now I'm sure, mate." Murdoc mused.
"Haha, very funny." Jeiel said sarcastically.
When Jeiel reached the bottom of the steps, 2D staggered over to her in zombie-walk mode.
Then he pulled out a fake bloody heart from his shirt and handed it to Jeiel saying, "I give you my heart." Jeiel smiled and squealed with delight from that adorable offer.
The Gorillaz then set off to the party. At the party, Russel went right to the snacks. Murdoc began flirting with women, Noodle began dancing on a table. 2D staggered over to drinks and got some tequila, Jeiel made sure he didn't get drunk. She even had some tequila, dancing around like an idiot with her zombie boyfriend.
Suddenly, a random guy came over and began flirting with Jeiel.
"Nice outfit, how much for a lap-dance?" The stranger flirted.
"Hey, that's my girlfriend." 2D stepped in between Jeiel and the stranger.
The stranger laughed at him, "I think you could do much better, hun." The stranger said to Jeiel with a flirty smile. 2D without any warning, punched the guy in the face making him fall over from the blow. The stranger got back up and tackled 2D against the wall while all the people around them began chanting, "Fight, fight, fight..."
Jeiel stared wide-eyed at the fight. 2D was getting pounded, she thought she could see real blood mixed in with the fake zombie blood. The stranger had 2D pinned down and was punching him non-stop. Jeiel looked around for her band friends. Russel and Noodle were nowhere to be seen. Murdoc was in the corner flirting with some brunette. Knowing that Jeiel wouldn't be strong enough to pull the guy off 2D, she did what she thought was best.
"So you said you wanted a lap-dance?" Jeiel shouted over the chaos, the stranger looked up. Then Jeiel quickly pulled her corset down revealing her breasts. The stranger was so distracted that 2D was able to kick him off hard enough to knock him out. Murdoc had seen what had happened and was staring in disbelief as Jeiel pulled her corset back up.
"Time to go." 2D managed to cough up. Murdoc ran over to him. 2D stumbled to the Geep, leaning on support of Jeiel and Murdoc. Then Murdoc ran back inside to get Noodle and Russel. Once He found them, Murdoc drove everybody home.
Back at home, Jeiel was cleaning up 2D's face, determining what was fake zombie blood and what was his real blood. 2D had many cuts and bruises on his face. His right eye was swollen and bleeding. Noodle grabbed an ice pack from the kitchen and handed it to 2D, who placed it on his eye.
After that, Jeiel was sitting with 2D on the couch. Murdoc leaned against the doorway with a smile on his face. Noodle and Russel were in the living room as well, just chilling.
"Nice..." Murdoc began looking at Jeiel's cleavage.
2D made a disgusted face saying, "Stop, Mudz."
Suddenly the power went out.
"Ugh, Russ go fix it, mate!" Murdoc said in the dark.
"No, you do it, I always have to." Russel complained. Then, a loud high-pitched scream filled the room. The lights came back on revealing that Jeiel had disappeared.
"Where'd she go? I heard her scream!" 2D began panicking. The four band mates looked around at each other exchanging frightened faces.
Without warning the power began flickering, and then turned off again. This time silence, until the lights had come back on, seconds later. As the lights came back, Russel, Noodle, and Murdoc watched as 2D's body was being dragged into the basement then the door slamming shut.
"Oh my God, somebody is trying to kill us!" Russel said breathlessly. The three band members ran for the door to find it jammed. Murdoc slammed his fist against the door in anger.
"Damnit!" Murdoc bellowed.
"What do you think, it did to Jeiel and 2D?" Noodle asked.
"Do you want to find out?" Russel questioned.
"There's got to be another way out!" Murdoc screamed.
The lights then went out for the third time. The band members all screamed in fear at this occurrence. When the lights came back on for a third time, Russel had now disappeared. With panicked faces, the two remaining band members scrambled to the back door which was open. With a full running sprint, Murdoc ran to the door, Noodle stayed back suspecting trickery. When Murdoc had almost made it, the door slammed shut. Murdoc, unable to stop himself, ran full force into the door where he then collapsed on the floor blacking out for a minute.
When Murdoc opened his eyes, groaning from the pain in his head, Noodle was now gone. He then began searching everywhere for her. She wasn't anywhere, but Murdoc hadn't checked all the rooms. He has refused checking the basement where 2D had been dragged into. With fear in him, he then walked to the basement door. Expecting the worse, his heartbeat quickened as he slowly turned the knob and opened the door.
Everything was dark as he managed to go down the steps without falling. When he reached the base of the steps, the lights came on in a blinding flash, as if almost on queue. Murdoc blinked because of the blinding lights that had come on. As his eyesight adjusted, Murdoc fell to the ground in fetal position, crying as he saw the bodies. Sadness and fear entered him for the loss of his friends and the knowing that he was next.
Russel was laying in a puddle of blood, unmoving. 2D was strapped to the wall, a huge cut on his abdomen relieving intestines pouring out from him. Isolated arms and legs of Noodle scattered the floor, her head gruesomely laid on a silver platter. Jeiel was the only one not dead, she had been strapped to a chair, she looked at Murdoc with sadness.
"Get out, get out while you can!" She screamed. Following her order, Murdoc began to get up. One last time the lights went out.
"Who are you? Please don't kill me!" Murdoc pleaded, tears streaming his face.
When the lights came back on, all the band mates previously presumed dead began laughing hard. Murdoc wiped his face, relieved that they were alive but confused. An apparition came up through the floor. It was Del!
"Wow, you are too easy." Del said with humor. Murdoc questioned them as Del helped 2D down from the wall and Russel unlatched Jeiel from the chair. Noodle, popped her head out from under the table and crawled under it, revealing a hole in the table for her head to peak through and all of her limbs attached to her body.
"Happy Halloween!" The band members said to Murdoc.
It had all been a trick. Del who had been exorcised out of Russel, had been able to visit from the after-life due to it being Halloween. With anger, Murdoc fled upstairs. The band members all ran up to him laughing until they entered the kitchen, watching as Murdoc had a crazy expression on his face and a sharp knife in his hand.
"Yes, Happy fucking Halloween!" He yelled and began chasing the band mates around the house with the knife.
