after last years halloween, here another halloween-themed story! I noticed it's the only holiday I write stories for, but that's because it is just so much fun!
Well, please R&R. I want to know if people liked it :D

1. Prologue

The stranger looked at the man that was currently sitting on his couch. He should make a decision fast, Halloween was almost over and it didn't have much time.
"Three wishes. In or out?"
The man looked at it and smiled.
"In. definitely"

2. No more pain

House woke up in the morning, remembering the strange dream he had. A stranger had come to him and offered him 3 wishes. He had agreed to it, thinking it was just a dream. He got up and waited for the pain in his leg… but it never came. Now he really was awake, this had been his first wish. Smiling, he got up and went to take a shower. He had to see if his other two wishes had come true too.

3. More puzzles

When he came at the hospital, his second wish had been granted too. Brenda came to him with a patients file which was hard, as usual. What was unusual was that this was the first case in weeks, no one had been so sick they needed a good diagnostician before this case. Whistling, he started the differential

4. A woman's love

Around noon he got an conformation for his third wish. He had sent the ducklings away to run some tests and when Cuddy came in, he thought she was there to make him do clinic duty. He couldn't have been more wrong.
"House, do you want to go on a date with me?"
He smiled. Everything was right.

5. New year comes with the first

House was pondering. Something was wrong. True, his wishes hadn't been turned around, but a few days ago he had tripped and it hadn't hurt at all. He pricked his finger with a needle and was relieved when he could feel the pain. He walked away and left the needle, focussing on more important things like the puzzles he had or Cuddy. He didn't noticed the needle flicker in an orange light and disappear.

6. March brings the second

It was a beautiful day in May, but House wasn't smiling. He had just gotten his latest case and the disease this person had was just impossible. He showed all the signs of old age, but he was only 10 years old. A differential later and the case didn't seam so impossible anymore. He sent the ducklings away to do some tests and went to his office. He didn't notice the soft orange glow on the file.

7. In June it's the third

In June House had forgotten all about what happened before. He hadn't felt pain when he should have a few times and his cases had been a bit harder, but he hadn't really paid attention to it. Then, something else happened.
One day, he was looking at 13 when Cuddy just walked past and she freaked out. House thought she was going to kill the poor girl, but she backed off. He watched her leave, too confused to see the orange light that was surrounding her.

8. Halloween brings hell

It was a few minutes before Halloween and House sensed something wasn't right. he hadn't seen anyone the last hour, which was strange. This was a hospital, there was always someone around. He thought about it while the last minutes of October 30 were ticking away.
At midnight, hell broke loose.
Exactly at the stroke of 12, everything went orange. House sprung up, alarmed. Something definitely wasn't right. He walked to the entrance of the hospital and was nailed to the spot from what he was seeing.
Zombies. Everyone in the hospital was turned into a zombie. Well, everyone except Cuddy. Not that that was good though.
"House! Go away here! You are mine and NOT allowed within looking range of any woman!"
He ran away from the lobby, not knowing whereto. He just knew he had to get away from here, away from all the zombies, away from Cuddy who was currently busy killing every woman in the hospital, away from…
Away from what, exactly? This couldn't be real. Zombies didn't exist and he was pretty sure Cuddy wasn't a killer in her free time. He stopped at the balcony above the lobby and looked down. Somehow this was set up, but how?
"This IS real, you know."
He jumped and looked at the stranger, who had just appeared out of nowhere.
"What are you doing here?!"
The stranger smiled.
"You were so eager to get your wishes that you didn't look at the consequences. Here they are. You had one year and now they're going to collect."
With that, the stranger threw him of the balcony, right into a zombie.
Puzzles. He had wanted puzzles, every day more and now everyone was an idiot, so what they thought were puzzles were easy to him. he looked at the zombie he had fallen on and saw it was Stacy
Love. He had wanted Cuddy's love, but never thought about how she must have felt. Now he got it, but it had turned into extreme jealousy because she was afraid he would leave her and her love would be an empty void. She was looking at him, horror-struck, thinking he finally showed he didn't care for her, that he had just used her.
Pain. He had just wanted to stop feeling his leg, but now Cuddy had stabbed him and he saw his own blood covering his hands, he knew he couldn't feel his leg anymore, but no other pain either. The only thing he could do was look at Cuddy while she stabbed him over and over again and hope it would all be over soon.

9. Epilogue

House woke up with a start and immediately grabbed for his leg. Pain. He swallowed two vicodin and got out of bed. He had to know, it couldn't have been real. He walked over to the TV and put it on the news. He let out a breath when he realized what date it was. November 1, 2009. It HAD been all a dream. He put the TV out and went to his bedroom, making himself ready for a new day full of puzzles. Maybe he would even be able to go to Cuddy banter, which he loved to do. He whistled. All was well.

10. Epilogue 2

The stranger looked at its latest victim in the lava. This one had been fun, and much more violent too. With a snap of its fingers it closed the small screen and opened another. The woman the victim had chosen to love, she was bound to have a few wishes of her own too. it smiled and left his mark on her heart, a bright orange pumpkin with a cursed smile. With a snap of its fingers the portal was closed again and the stranger went to its one-year sleep. Next Halloween was going to be fun, he just knew it.
