Well it took some time but I had finally gotten my costume ready. I stood in front of the bathroom mirror for a while making scary faces, I think I actually scared myself a couple of times. The sun was setting so I figured I should head to the castle while the sun is still out. I stepped into the garage and there it was an old Hummer H2 complete with spinners, surround sound stereo, DVD player, XBOX 360 installed in the back and of course a state of the art GPS. And next to it I saw my ride an old mountain bike with the leather of the seat halfway ripped off and tires half inflated. After looking at my bike I said to myself I really need to get a job. A quick grab of the bicycle pump and I was on my way to the castle.
After bicycling through town I found myself at the entrance of the forest, here I knew that if I entered the forest there would be no going back. I stopped for a moment took a deep breath and started pedaling into the forest. I have never been in the forest this late nor at the castle, but I knew that as long as I stayed on the trail I would find my way to the castle. After a couple of minutes I started to feel that I was lost because I had seen a tree with a familiar carving in it several times before. Perhaps I should see if I can find my way back out of here. I soon heard a wolf howl which only caused me to panic and pedal faster hoping that I would reach the castle soon. After a while I came to a fork in the trail one path looked like it would lead deeper into the forest and I could hear the sound of crickets chirping, the wind blowing and who knows what else, the other path seemed as if the trail ends yet I swear I could hear music and the sound of many people laughing. That must be the way to the party. So I went down the second path and I later found myself out of the forest. The very moment I was out of the forest I looked up and saw a huge dark creepy castle that was filled with laughter and loud music. This must be the place, it's even creepier than I imagined. I decided to chain my bike to a nearby lamppost and continued to walk toward the castle. I took my first step toward the door looking at its giant door knocker and started to reach out for it. Before I could grab the door knocker I stopped and thought that this truly might be my last chance to leave if this is another one of Brandon's tricks and spare myself the embarrassment. I stood there for only a moment and grabbed hold of the giant door knocker and slammed the door three times.
The knock on the door echoed throughout the forest and eventually I heard footsteps on the other side of the door. A small part of the door slid open and I saw a guy in zombie costume dressed as a butler through the hole. The dude just gave me a blank stare and groaned until I gave a reply. "Um... hi, I'm here for the party." The zombie butler guy then shut the small compartment, and shortly I heard what sounded like a giant lock being unlocked on the other side of the door and the door slowly opened and I saw that there were at least a good hundred people in some pretty convincing monster costumes just sitting in the main hall just talking to each other. I thought Brandon said a few of his buddies would be here. I was starting to think that maybe that this was a bad idea and decided to leave, but before I could even turn around the door shut behind me and the zombie butler guy looked at me and pointed to another door on the left side of the main hall. I went ahead to the other door hoping it would lead to another way out, but after opening the door I saw a huge group of people dancing in what looked like a giant ballroom, but this was different electro music was playing and there were flashing lights coming from the ceiling. It looked like a giant monster rave with everyone in their costumes. But, then I remembered something. Wait a sec, a rave? Brandon hates raves! I knew that this was not the right castle not even Bran would go to great lengths to throw a rave party just prank me. But how did he know that there would be a costume party here. I stopped trying put together the pieces in the puzzle just then I had a sudden realization. Who cares if Bran isn't here then I am as safe as can be and plus I'm at a party.
Realizing this I decided to join the rave and start dancing even if I didn't know how to dance. Few minutes after dancing I accidentally bumped into some one.
"HEY!"
I turned around to look at the stranger and apologize, but when I turned around I realized I was looking at some dudes crotch. I looked up to a guy who was at least twice my size in an Frankenstein costume whose costume made mine look poorly made.
"SORRY!" I said trying to raise my voice over the music.
"NO BIGGIE THE NAMES FRANKENSTEIN, BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME FRANK WHAT'S YOURS?"
I thought of what I should say, I don't think this dude would like the idea of two Frankenstein's in the same room and plus his costume was better than mine so I thought of a new alias for myself while I'm at the party.
"JOHNNYSTEIN, BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME JOHNNY."
Or at least they would if I had any friends.
"I TAKE IT YOUR NEW HERE AREN'T YA?"
"YEAH I DON'T THINK I KNOW ANYONE HERE."
"C'MON FOLLOW ME KID I'LL INTRODUCE YA TO MY FRIENDS."
"...THANKS." Wow I just bumped into some guy and he wants to introduce me to his friends, I've known some kids back at school for nearly half my life and they don't want me anywhere near them or their friends, looks like coming here wasn't such a bad idea after all.
