October 29

As I walked the streets of Haddonfield, I could not help but feel as if I was being watched, followed. I look around me but find nothing but the Haddonfield houses, trees and the spring breeze surround me.

"Why can't I leave the past behind me?" I mumble as I walk.

Kathy had not talked to me for two days, and my meetings with Dr. Andrade were doing no good. As each day passed by, my fear of seeing Michael again grew.

As Mrs. Carter was in the kitchen preparing dinner, she hears someone knocking on the door.

"Mrs. Carter, thank goodness your home. May I know where Vanessa is?" Dr. Loomis asks.
"She's off to see Dr. Andrade Dr. Loomis, why do you ask?" Mrs. Carter replies.
"Did you see the news?" He asks.
"Please come in Dr. Loomis, would you like a drink?" She asks, changing the subject.
"Answer my question please Mrs. Carter"
"What that the costume shop was robbed?" She responds.
"Yes and all they took was a mask and knives" He adds.
"And… I don't see why that should worry me" She replies nervously.
"Are you aware of what mask was stolen?"
"Dr. Loomis I don't see why all the questions"
"Michael Myers has escaped, you know it as well as I do, he will be back for your daughter!" He says in anger.
"Dr. Loomis, Michael Myers is part of the past. He is dead isn't he?" Mrs. Carter asks, fearing the worst.
"You know as well as I that he is not. We must protect Vanessa from Michael," Dr. Loomis informs her.
"I don't want to alarm her," Mrs. Carter says in tears.
"Then will you risk your daughter's life just so she can have a few days of sanity!" Dr. Loomis yells.
"I don't want Vanessa to fear the outside world just because of that freak! I curse the day she befriended him!" She yells back in tears.
"Mrs. Carter I apologize for behaving so coldly about this, but you must be aware of the danger not only Vanessa but you are in! This time, Michael Myers won't stop at nothing to kill Vanessa, and he won't let anything stop him this time"
"What should we do then Dr. Loomis?" Mrs. Carter asks.
"I'll keep your family in a safe place on Halloween night but Vanessa, unfortunately, must stay here…"

As I walked to Dr. Andrade's office, I could not help but turn around every now and then. Was someone truly following me? Or was this all in my head. Just then, I look across the street and see him… Michael Myers… gazing at me. I drop my books and run…

Why did I have to cross paths with him? He haunts me… he will never leave me in peace!

I look back as I ran in fear… he was still there, walking slow towards me. It seemed as if I was not running at all. How could one man manage to bring so much fear into one person?

Just then, I bump into someone.

"Vanessa there you are…" Dr. Andrade says. I hug him in fear and look back, but this time, Michael was gone.
"He… he was there, he was after me again!" I said in tears.
"Who was there…?" He asks.
"Michael Myers was following me! Doctor please don't let him do anything to me!" I plead.
"Sweetie, you must have imagined him. Michael Myers is locked away. He couldn't possibly be here"
"But I saw him Dr. Andrade" I respond, pointing cross the street. He looks across the street and turns his gaze back at me.
"Vanessa please, I know your experience with Michael was bad, but please let me help you" He says, I push him away from me.
"Doctor Andrade… I cannot see you anymore. I'm afraid for not only my family but for my friends and for you as well," I said to him.
"Vanessa leave Michael behind you already," He pleads.
"How can I when he does not leave me! You all tell me to leave this behind me as if it was that easy! He killed my best friend! He was close to killing my little sister!" I yell at him. I drop to my knees and cry. 2 years… and I still could not leave this behind me. How could I when he was always there… haunting my dreams, my everyday life? I could not let anyone into my heart… ever, because if I would, it would be the death of them. That is why I must keep Dr. Andrade away.
