Worst. Halloween. Ever.

~Halloween Part Three~

Mai's Dream:

Mai drifted through the doors of the SPR office leaving Ayako and John behind. She left the office and drifted past the killer, who seemed to be completely impassive towards Mai, for he just stood in the same spot he had when Mai had opened the door. The room shifted and she was standing outside. It was Halloween still but around twenty years ago. Mai craned her neck over the crowd of people to see the man that was wanted for murder. The only difference was that he was ten and his eyes weren't red, they were blue. She preferred them as blue.

"Excuse me, Ms." She spun around to see Naru- no, Gene grinning at her. "You need to pay attention."

She stuck her tongue out. "I am paying attention, Gene."

"Oh really?" He pointed towards the spot where the possessed boy used to be. "Then where did Thomas Hunt go?"

She looked around slowly then she spotted him. There was a house where the SPR office used to be and he was moving towards him.

"I found him Gene."

Gene snorted. "I don't like this. I mean, even Naru doesn't have a clue to what this means."

Mai sighed. "I guess it's up to me." She motioned for Gene to follow. "Come on."

They trailed Thomas until he stopped at the steps of the building.

"So what's happening?" Mai hissed. "It's twelve at night and he's just standing there."

Gene shrugged. "Maybe it isn't him we're looking for. Maybe someone else is supposed to do something tonight."

Mai had to agree. She was about to suggest looking around when a second figure appeared and shoved Thomas. Mai couldn't quite make out what they were saying but the next thing she knew was that the other person was on the ground, scarlet liquid leaking out of his head.

"He killed someone at ten?!" Mai screeched. "He really is a psycho!"

Gene sighed. "He was arrested for murder at twenty-two so I don't think this is the murder they were talking about."

Mai sighed and nodded. They still hadn't gotten anywhere.

"I think this must have had something else to do with Halloween. If that man died exactly on midnight on Halloween and he was part of some devil worshiping club-type-thing then I'm not sure if you can exorcise this ghost at all."

Mai stared at Gene. "What makes you think he worshiped the devil?"

Gene pointed towards where Thomas was standing now. Thomas dipped his fingers in the blood and drew the tell-tale pentagram on the wall.

"Okay......" She stared at him. "That is definitely not my idea of a fun Halloween but, whatever he thinks is fun."

Gene delivered a glare. "You have to tell Naru to get out of there. I think the ghost only appears on Halloween and with each passing year it gets stronger."

Mai started to argue but the entire scene shifted and her eyes fluttered open.

.xXx.

Mai's eyes fluttered open. Ayako was looking out the window still and John was still by the door. The only difference was that Naru was sitting right next to her. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment when he noticed she was awake.

"What did you find out Mai?"

Mai cleared her throat. "Our dear friend out there is a devil worshiper and killed someone at ten."

Naru stared at her. "That wasn't what I was expecting. So, what else did you find out?"

"Well, Gene seems to think that the spirit wants revenge on that guy. I think that the spirit that's possessing him was murdered by that guy himself, his name's Thomas by the way, and-"

The door handle jiggled then something banged on the door, rattling it with a force.

John stood in front of the door, trying to keep it closed. A knife rammed through the door, narrowly missing John's face. John turned a deathly white.

"Holy-" John whimpered. "Can I move? Please?"

Naru nodded in shock. "That would be the smart thing to do."

Ayako was also a deathly white. "Mai-"

"Not now Ayako-"

"Yes, now would be a great time to tell you that the window is red." Her voice was high-pitched with fear.

"That's impossible are you-" She stopped mid-sentence at the sight of Naru's window which was, indeed, red.

The lights flickered off and the jiggling on the door stopped. Naru motioned for John to step away from the door.

"I....want......" A scratchy voice filled the room. "I....want....revenge....."

The lights turned back on and everyone sank to the floor.

"Something tells me he doesn't want candy." Ayako muttered. "This is the worst Halloween I've ever had! What are we going to do?"

Naru stood up. "We're going to give him revenge."

"And how do you suppose we do that?" John asked curiously.

"You'll see." He said. "Mai, I need you to do me a favor."

"Yes Naru?"

"Since you're the only one the ghost doesn't attack go make me some tea."

She gaped at him. "What makes you think that I'm the only one it won't attack?!"

He rubbed the back of his head. "We all tried."

She stared at him. "You're kidding. What happened?"

"He threw a book at my head." John said. "He ran at Naru and Ayako refused to go out there."

"Yeah, because I'm not stupid." Ayako grumbled.

Naru glared at her. "Either that, or you're incredibly cowardly."

"Guys!" Mai yelled. "I am not going out there. You cannot make me!"

Three minutes later:

"I cannot believe he made me." She mumbled to herself as she edged along with Thomas watching her every move like a hawk. She sat the cup down on the counter when she had managed to reach it. She poured the tea in it, never once taking her eyes off of Thomas for the fear of him attacking.

"I won't hurt you." Thomas said.

She jumped and spilled the tea. "What do you want?!"

"I want revenge."

"Well that's great but you're really creeping us all out!"

Thomas hissed. "I don't think you'd like if I left Mai."

"How did you-"

"I heard your boyfriend."

Mai noticed his eyes were blue again. "Hey, you aren't possessed anymore. He isn't my boyfriend!"

"It won't last long." He twitched and for a moment his eyes were red. "Max is getting more powerful with each Halloween I-"

He doubled over in pain and his eyes turned red. Then they settled on blue. He stood there gasping for breath. "You need to get Max out of my body."

"Yeah, one problem, we don't exactly-"

"I know there's a priest in there. I shoved a knife in the door and heard him scream."

"Good point."

"Max only runs at your friends because he knows they can help me."

Mai didn't know wether that was a compliment or an insult.

"Mai?" She heard Naru call.

"Look, you're going to have to give us more information. I know you killed Max in front of the building. Why?"

Thomas grimaced. "Max was trying to sacrifice me. I only did it in self-defense and he-"

He doubled over again, this time his eyes were red. "You can't save him."

Mai didn't wait to hear the rest. She just took the teacup and the tea and ran into the office. "He'll die!" She heard him scream. "Right after you do!"
