Chapter 1 - The day when I lost it all

I don't own any of the rights or characters in this fanfiction OTHER THAN EVAN HOLLOW AND HAL HAUNTER. ROTG isn't mine in anyways, but Hal Haunter and Evan Hollow ARE original characters made by me. This will have shipping (JackRabbit, JackRabbitHaunted ((my oc and them)) and shipping between my oc with Hal, Pitch and North possibly)) but later in the story. Hope ya like it!

My name is Evan, Evan Hollow, and it was a normal day for me. I had just got done making the music video for my song "Lost in Time" with my band. I had just walked into my house, sitting my checkered bag down. I flopped down on the couch when I noticed something outside the window….a Nightmare. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the door, chasing it down the road. I knew what these were; Jack and Bunny had told me. We were friends, and talked a couple times a month. They even made me this necklace for me as a gift for believing in them. I followed it down to the woods where I went to clear my thoughts. It was out of my eyesight, so I sat down under my favorite tree. I looked up at the autumn sky and watched the light flicker as some leaves blew around. It was peaceful, comforting even.

"Hello Evan" I heard a voice say into my ear, making me jump in fear. I scrambled away and hid behind a nearby bush, looking at the cloaked figure that spoke.

"H-Hi…Do I know you?" I say, watching him chuckle and hold up my necklace.

"No, but I know you. How about this, I make you a deal. You can have this THING back, but you have to get it first." He said, twirling it with his fingers.

"Easy!" I said, standing up and walking towards him, just as he flew away to the top of my tree.

I gasped and looked up at him grin at me. He definitely wasn't normal. But I didn't care, that was mine and an irreplaceable gift. I started climbing the tree and reached him, grabbing it.

"Well, it's yours. But one other thing." He said giving it back and I put it on.

"What?" I said, looking at him and realized who he was. Hal Haunter, the guardian of Halloween and best friend with Pitch Black.

"Goodnight" he said pushing me off, making me fall from the top of the tree. I flew through the air, and then a sickly sweet smell flew over me as I hit the ground, my vision fading. The last thing I saw was the moon. Manny!

"Help me Manny…I don't wanna die…" I whispered and drifted off not within a minute, feeling tired and betrayed, and heard a deep chuckle.

"Sleep, Hallow…for you will be mine when you awaken"
