Star, Abby and Sly had a hard time moving on and were even more upset by the fact that the police weren't doing anything. Apparently, there had been numerous murders around, all having been committed by people of the same description Abby and her friends gave. Now, it was October, Halloween, and Abby and her friends were determined to make it the best. Tony and Zac had the idea where they would dress up as Creepypasta characters, although Abby wasn't too familiar with the stories. She was too caught up in the strange events that had happened recently. First, she nearly got her kidney taken by a guy in a blue mask. Then, a few days later, she nearly got killed by a girl with a clock for an eye and ended up becoming friends with her. The one thing that both events had in common were the strange visions, just like the other times./span/p

To top off the look, Abby put on black lipstick, black eyeshadow around her eyes and wore white contacts. Star looked Abby over with a smile. /span/p

She remembered him from the carnival. It was surprising to her that she wasn't angry at him for killing Zac. Instead, she was somewhat fascinated that a guy she had dreamed of so many times was right in front of her. Jeff seemed somewhat surprised as well. Abby was dressed up in the same costume that Lupin wore one Halloween. She even looked exactly like her, down to the bandage patterned tank top. All she needed was a pair of wolf ears and a matching tail and she'd be Lupin down to the dot. It hurt Jeff's heart to see Abby, but he managed to keep himself under control. Instead, he played it cool, like always. /span/p

Electricity surged between them the second their skin touched. Multiple images flashed before their eyes. Memories of the first time Jeff took Lupin out for a killing spree, the first time they had sex and little memories of them just goofing off together. Pleasure, joy, happiness...Jeff felt all those emotions. When he regained focus, he saw Lupin smiling at him with all the love she had for him before fading away, leaving Abby. She couldn't believe what just happened. All the other times, she just saw the memories. This time, she felt the emotions and they were overwhelming. She looked at Jeff and saw he was staring at her. He was shaking as he let go of her wrist, tears slowly falling down his cheeks. Before anyone could say anything, Jeff turned and bolted into the woods. Both Abby and Clockwork watched him until he was gone. Clockwork looked at Abby, who was still staring with wide-eyes./span/p

Grinning like always and holding two black roses was Offenderman. Abby gasped when she saw the tall man. She felt like she had met him before and the meeting wasn't pleasant. Clockwork saw the fear in Abby's eyes, the same fear she saw when Offenderman tried to rape her in her previous life. Pushing Abby behind her, Clockwork grabbed her knife from her boot and held it out towards Offender, warning him to keep his distance. /span/p

She remembered him from the carnival. It was surprising to her that she wasn't angry at him for killing Zac. Instead, she was somewhat fascinated that a guy she had dreamed of so many times was right in front of her. Jeff seemed somewhat surprised as well. Abby was dressed up in the same costume that Lupin wore one Halloween. She even looked exactly like her, down to the bandage patterned tank top. All she needed was a pair of wolf ears and a matching tail and she'd be Lupin down to the dot. It hurt Jeff's heart to see Abby, but he managed to keep himself under control. Instead, he played it cool, like always. /span/p

Electricity surged between them the second their skin touched. Multiple images flashed before their eyes. Memories of the first time Jeff took Lupin out for a killing spree, the first time they had sex and little memories of them just goofing off together. Pleasure, joy, happiness...Jeff felt all those emotions. When he regained focus, he saw Lupin smiling at him with all the love she had for him before fading away, leaving Abby. She couldn't believe what just happened. All the other times, she just saw the memories. This time, she felt the emotions and they were overwhelming. She looked at Jeff and saw he was staring at her. He was shaking as he let go of her wrist, tears slowly falling down his cheeks. Before anyone could say anything, Jeff turned and bolted into the woods. Both Abby and Clockwork watched him until he was gone. Clockwork looked at Abby, who was still staring with wide-eyes./span/p
