The cabin was beautiful! It had a nice fireplace, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a nice kitchen and living room area. For October, the weather was pretty mild. It had been a lot chillier the year before. The Carruthers family were happy to be spending the weekend here. Hopefully, this night would just blow over and everything would be fine. They hated leaving Jamie, but Dr. Loomis insisted it was for the best, that she would be well looked-after, and they could call her anytime they wished.

Jamie hadn't been the only one to suffer from nightmares. Darlene did as well. Sure, she forgave Jamie, and knew that something [Michael Myers] had possessed her to do it, but it was still scary! Despite everything, she loved that little girl and hoped and prayed for her recovery.

"Sure is beautiful out here," Richard said, as they walked in, carrying their bags.

"Yes. When was the last time we were up here, honey?"

"I think Rachel was eleven."

"Wow!"

The cabin was still in pretty good condition. The Carruthers had brought food as well as some clean bedding and dishes and silverware.

Rachel took her suitcase into the bedroom she would be staying in. While yes, she agreed, it was beautiful out here, she couldn't stop thinking about Jamie. The two of them had grown so close, and she still felt guilty for leaving her. There was a phone in her room, and she decided to call and check on Jamie.

Jamie was pleasantly surprised when she found out that Rachel was on the phone. So far, today had been a good day. No nightmares, no visions, her family was safe, and she was going to be in the costume pageant later on.

"Hey, kiddo. I was just calling to check up on you. We've only been here five minutes, and already I miss you like crazy."

Jamie blew a kiss into the phone.

"Yeah, I know. Me, too. Listen, don't let what happened last year ruin Halloween for you, okay? Michael Myers is long gone. I'll make you a deal. You get better before next Halloween, and I'll take you trick or treating again."

Jamie smiled on the other end of the phone and blew another kiss. She gave the phone to Richard and Darlene to talk to her. They basically told her the same things that Rachel did. They loved her and missed her and hoped she got better soon.

Once they hung up, Rachel was feeling a lot better and decided to go for a swim in the lake. Darlene told her not to be too long for she was getting ready to start dinner.

MEANWHILE AT THE CLINIC

Jamie was working with the other kids at the Children's Clinic on arts and crafts. Suddenly, she got a vision. A vision of Rachel at the lake, jumping into the water to swim. Watching in the trees was her uncle, Michael Myers. He was holding a large, butcher knife. Quickly, Jamie walked over to the wall and started to write on it with magic marker.

RACHEL... LAKE... BOOGEYMAN...

Billy Hill, Jamie's little boyfriend, walked up to her and gently put a hand on her shoulder.

"J-Jamie?"

Jamie, eagerly, pointed to the wall. Billy read the message and was going to run to tell somebody, but saw Dr. Loomis was standing right behind them, reading the message.

Not thinking twice, Dr. Loomis got the phone number to the cabin and called the Carruthers. Richard answered.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Carruthers?"

"Yes? Dr. Loomis?"

"Yes. Is Rachel there?"

"Yeah, she's swimming in the lake. Why?"

"Go check her! Hurry!"

Richard quickly sat the phone down and ran outside to check, ignoring his wife's yells. Once he got to the lake, he saw no sign of life, whatsoever.

"Rach? Rachel? Honey?"

He ran back to the cabin, and back to the phone.

"Richard, what's going on?"

"Dr. Loomis, there's no sign of Rachel anywhere."

Darlene gasped and put her hands to her mouth.

Before anything else could be said, Rachel walked in, wrapped in a towel.

"It's Rachel! She just walked in, Dr. Loomis."

Dr. Loomis sighed in relief on the other line.

"Thank heavens. Listen, I'm going to send a couple of men out there to search the area."

"Why?"

"Just trust me, Mr. Carruthers."

Before Richard could say anything else, Dr. Loomis hung up. Oh, well. That didn't matter now. What did matter was that Rachel was all right.

"Rach? Where were you? I didn't see you anywhere!"

"I had to use the bathroom, instead of coming in, I just went into one of the bathhouses. Is everything okay?"

"Dr. Loomis called and told me to check on you. He's sending a couple of people out here to search the area."

Darlene looked really worried.

"Richard, maybe we should leave."

"No. No, we'll be fine, hon. Dr. Loomis is sending some people out here. They'll search the area. We'll be okay."

"But who knows how long that will take, Richard? If someone's out there-"

"Look, we'll be fine, okay? We just have to stick together. You go in the bedroom with Rachel while she gets dressed, and I'll stand guard by the door."

Nodding, Darlene and Rachel headed for the bedroom. Richard found an old baseball bat, picked it up, and held it. It was better to be safe than sorry.
