This is, so far, the only song that I've picked out for myself. It's the first song not by Cascada, and also the first non-romance fic.

Chapter 3

Halloween

Isabel

Don't you just love it when Halloween falls on a Friday night? And don't you love it even more when that Friday night happens to be the night of a full moon? Yeah, me too. Luckily, tonight is that night. Matt, Rochelle, Dillon, Arkarian, and I are all at Neriah's house for a Halloween party. Ethan would be there, but he said that he's busy with something else. Of course, what's a Halloween party without costumes? Neriah, Rochelle, and I all dressed as Disney Princesses. I get to be Aurora, Neriah is Snow White, and we had a great time trying to force Rochelle to be probably the girliest of all the princesses: Cinderella. Rochelle and Neriah have to wear wigs with their costumes: Rochelle because her hair is red while Cinderella's is blonde, and Neriah because we couldn't persuade her to cut her black hair short to match Snow White's. I get to simply have my hair curled at the bottom, since it's already blonde.

Anyway, Matt dressed as the prince from Snow White (how ironic that he's the prince and Neriah's the princess from the exact same movie?), I would have had a good time trying to force Arkarian into being the prince from Sleeping Beauty, but he decided to be a pirate instead (I don't know why…although it could be because of the fact that I made him watch all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies…), and Dillon is that dude from Scream.

When we all get to Neriah's house, she gets us to sit on the couch while she stands in front of us. "My mom is out with some of her friends, so that means that the six of us are completely alone. I have a great night planned for all of you; a night so terrifying that you'll think twice before pulling that prank on me again next April Fools Day."

I grin. It was a cool prank. "So sit back, relax, and prepare to be scared out of your skin." Neriah grins and starts a horror movie, sitting down beside Matt. The first bit of the night passes just like that; we watch horror movies. But then, Neriah introduces some scary games and stories. The first story is actually a poem, called "The Man Who Lived In Leeds" (A/N: It's actually a real poem, and it's pretty creepy when it's told properly.)

"There was a man who lived in Leeds," Neriah starts.
"He filled his garden full of seeds.
And when those seeds began to grow,
It was like a garden full of snow.
And when the snow began to melt,
It was like a ship without a belt.
And when the ship began to sail,
It was like a bird without a tail.
And when the bird began to fly,
It was like an eagle in the sky."

She lowers her voice.

"And when the sky began to roar,
It was like a lion at my door.
And when the door began to crack,
It was like a penknife in my back."

She turns off all the lights, bathing us all in darkness. She even closes the curtains so that I can't see.

"And when my back began to bleed,
I was dead, dead, dead, indeed."

She finishes the poem, and jumps at Matt, screaming. He jumps, and we all laugh as Neriah turns on the lights and opens the curtains. "What did you guys think?" she asks.

Still laughing, I say, "That was awesome!" Everyone else agrees. So after that, we take turns telling scary stories. Then, at midnight, the phone rings.

Neriah goes to answer it, and puts it on speaker phone so we can all hear. "Hello? (A/N: I'm going to switch to script format for the song. It makes it easier)

Voice: Remember me?

Neriah: Who's there?

Voice: I've got your number!

Neriah: Oh no, no!

Voice: I'm back, to haunt you!

Neriah: No, stay away!

Voice: -laughs maniacally-

Neriah: It's Friday night,

So creepy outside.
It's thundering and lightning.
–everyone looks outside to see that she's right-
There's nobody home,
Yes I'm all alone,
It's scary and it's frightening.
The sound of shoes,
A shadow that moves,
Something odd is tic tac ticking.
Someone's in here,
I'm so full of fear,
The telephone is ringing!

Voice: Now I can see you.

Neriah: Oh no, please no.

Voice: Now I can touch you.

Neriah: Oh god please no!

Voice: I'm right here now.

Neriah: Oh please tell me where!

Voice: -laughs again-

Neriah: I'm in a nightmare!

Voice: You'd better run.
I'm back to hunt you now!

Neriah: Halloween,
In the death of the night
Hear me scream…

Voice: I'm coming, I'm coming.

Neriah: Halloween,
It's the fear that I fight in my dreams…

Random voices: Keep running, oh keep on running, yeah.
Just keep running.
Keep running, oh keep on running, yeah.
Just keep running…

Neriah: Hell broke out
On this Friday night,
Zombies passing deadly.
My Candyman,
From Bountyland,
Is coming here to get me!

Voice: Now I can see you.

Neriah: Oh no, please no.

Voice: Now I can touch you.

Neriah: Oh god, please no!

Voice: I'm right here now.

Neriah: Oh please, tell me where.

Voice: -laughs again-

Neriah: I'm in a nightmare

Voice: You'd better run, I'm back to hunt you down.

Neriah: Halloween,
In the death of the night, hear me scream

Voice: I'm coming, I'm coming.

Neriah: Halloween,
It's the fear that I fight in my dreams

Voice: Keep running, keep running

Random voices: Keep running, oh keep on running yeah, just keep running.
Keep running, oh keep on running yeah, just keep running.

Voice –now somewhere in the house-: It's squeaking and creaking,
I move silent in the night.
Could be the boy from next door,
You'll never guess my disguise.
Gangs and children fight,
Pumpkin and candle light,
You might be the fearsome one at Junior High tonight!

Neriah: Halloween,
In the death of the night, hear me scream.

Voice: I'm coming, I'm coming.

Neriah: Halloween,
It's the fear that I fight in my dreams.

Voice: Keep running, keep running.

Neriah: Halloween…

Random voices: Keep running, oh keep on running yeah, just keep running.

Neriah: Halloween…

Random voices: Keep running, oh keep on running yeah, just keep running.

Neriah: Halloween…

(A/N: I'll switch back to normal now) A figure in a long black cloak comes in holding a knife, and stabs Neriah. She screams, and at first, I'm sure that the knife was only fake, but then I notice that it's real and that it actually stabbed her. Although, a few moments later, she sits up again and yanks the knife out of her chest.

"Ethan!" she exclaims. "You weren't supposed to use a real knife!"

The hooded figure slides off its hood to reveal Ethan's face. "Sorry, Neriah," he says, "but I knew that it wouldn't even kill you." By now, the shock of what happened has completely worn off, and I start laughing. Pretty soon, everyone else joins in, even Neriah.

"Okay, you got us." Matt admits, and Neriah grins. She comes over and gives him a kiss.

"Happy Halloween everyone," she says.

"Happy Halloween," we all say back to her.

End

That took me forever to finish! This was supposed to be the first fic, but then Melissa pretty much forced me to write the first two chapters before this one, and I can almost never say no to a friend…oh well! At least it's posted now. The next chapter will be up soon, as I already have a song for it, but after that I have nothing. Tell me in a review if you have any song ideas, and I'll see if I can put them into a fic. I might even be able to do a break-up song after a while…but only if I can think of a storyline. Review!
