Terra: Yo! What is up?

Lex: Smh, stop with the gangster act, seriously.

Max: We all know you can't pull that off.

Terra:...Hey!

Lex: She speaks the honest truth. Anyway, who wants to introduce the story?

Max: I'll do it. Hola. This is Halloween, the most recent mini-story of The Mansion.

Terra: And this is it's summary: What do you get when you cross 9 authors, horror movies, and a devious Terra? Chaos and a Halloween special.

Lex: Well, that's kinda... vague.

Max: You helped write it.

Lex: Your point? YOU did too.

Terra: Anyway, I'm just gonna point out that this is like the first story where Rex is official.

Max: We all knew something was going on, even though it wasn't official...

Lex: What does that have to do with the story?

Max: Dunno, don't care.

Terra: On to the story!


It was the morning of Halloween, and everyone was excited. They all expected Terra, the gothic girl who loved being an assassin, to be especially excited. But instead, she was sitting eating her toast, sending off a depressing aura towards her friends. The others looked at her, noticing her... depressing attitude. They glanced at each other. Terra wasn't usually like this. She usually was sarcastic and ready to fight.

Finally, Max broke the awkward silence at the kitchen table. "Yo, what is up Terra?" she asked.

Terra sighed. "My parents want me to come visit. And they say it has to be today!" she complained, dropping her face onto table.

Lex sighed. "Man, dude. I feel sorry for you." she said.

Rjay nodded. "Yeah, we'll miss you Terra." he said, smiling. Gigi and Gel nodded in agreement, while Sam and Tallie smiled.

Terra smirked, as if she knew something the others didn't. "Just make sure you save me some candy!" she said. laughing. Suddenly, Troy came running into the dinning room. She held out a DVD, squealing excitedly.

"Guess what I got!" she said, bouncing up and down happily.

"What?" Terra asked warily."Night of the Soul Reaper!" Troy said, grinning and showing the others the shrugged. "Eh...seen it...twice." Terra said, grinning. She waved goodbye and went to pack.

Lex stared at the movie and gulped. "Uh...what is it rated?" she asked. Rjay raised his eyebrow.

Troy smirked. "Oh only R for gore and blood! But I made sure it had no...um...adult content." she said awkwardly.

Lex's face went pale, and Gigi smirked. "Why Lex? Don't tell me your scared!" Gigi teased.

Lex narrowed her eyes at Gigi. "No, I am not scared, of some writer's imagination and some poor movie effects!" Lex said defensively.

Max smirked. "Don't worry Lex, I'm sure your boyfriend will protect you from the Grim Reaper!" she said. Tallie smiled, and Gel high-fived Max.

Lex smirked slightly, intertwining her hand with her boyfriend's. "Yeah," she agreed. "I'm sure he will."

"Ooh la la." Troy teased. "Just make sure to keep it PG, got it?"

Both authors blushed and opened their mouths, but Max beat them to the punch.

"EW! TROY! MY MIND! IT BURNS!" Max screamed. ". . . I will never get that image out of my head. Get it out, get it out, GET IT OUT!" she exclaimed, while scratching at her head.

Terra turned to Troy. "You just had to add that, didn't you?"

"Pretty much," Troy replied.

". . . excuse me, I have to go puke my guts out." Max said, while getting up.


After they all finished eating, Terra came down with her black backpack. She smiled at all them as a white Prius drove up. She waved and got into the car, then it drove off.

"It just got really quiet in here." Gel said suddenly. The others nodded, then proceeded to do their regular activities, like update their Percy Jackson fanfictions.


That night, everyone was in their costumes, walking back home after trick-or-treating. Troy was dressed as a female Mad Hatter, Rjay was as Batman, Max had on a Robin costume, Tallie was an angel, Gigi had an Eskimo costume, Gel was a vampire, Sam was dressed a Cleopatra, and finally, Lex was Athena.

"I AM BATMAN! COME ROBIN, TO THE BATCAVE!" Rjay yelled while running in a circle waving his cape like an idiot. Max sighed, shook her head, and rolled her eyes at the same time.

"Remind me again, why did I agree to wearing this?" she asked. The others just shrugged, and Max just sighed again.


"We are so not too old to go trick-or-treating." Max grumbled, unlocking the mansion's front door.

"Stupid parents." Rjay muttered, walking with the others to their home theater. Troy ran up and put in the DVD, then ran back to her seat. Somehow, they all had popcorn and soda. The eight authors sat in the second row. Gigi smirked at the others, noticing that Lex sat next to Rjay.

The movie began to play, and fortunately, they skipped over the ads. The movie began, and it was pure black. Words faded into view, it read. On a Hallows Eve, a nightmare rises from the depths of Hades, and here is its story... The voice faded out. Then, it quickly showed someone being cut pieces by a scythe-wielding madman.

The scream echoed in the theater, but it didn't come from the movie. Lex had screamed. She covered her eyes, and the others looked at her. Lex smiled shyly. The others looked at her oddly, but they went back to the movie after Rjay had promised to comfort Lex, resulting in a few laughs about that from the others. The movie continued till about two hours in.

Then, out of nowhere the power went out. Following right after that was a flash of lightning. Everyone screamed at the sudden darkness, and Rjay pulled out a flashlight from who knows where.. He flicked it on, and the room was illuminated slightly. They looked around."Well, that was scary...I guess this is the reason you don't watch scary movie on Halloween." Max said nervously. The room temperature had dropped about 20 degrees.

Lex looked around, then her face paled. She grabbed Rjay's flashlight and waved it around. She gasped, attracting everyone else's attention. The other authors waited for her to say something, and finally, Tallie broke the ice."Lex, what's wrong?" she asked, her voice shaking.

Lex shook her head. Then, she looked up. "You guys...where is Sam?" Lex asked waving the flashlight around once more. They all turned in a circle looking for there friend.

Gel raised her hand. "Okay, well, maybe she went to go get a flashlight." she suggested, looking around. Her eyes landed on the seat where Sam had sat, and her eyes widened. She took the flashlight, then shinned it on the seat. In place of Sam, there was a miniaturize scythe in the seat. Just like in the movie, they had just watched. They all gasped.

Troy spoke first. "You don't think..." Her voice trailed off. Before anyone could answer, there was a loud shriek coming from the hall. They all ran towards the scream.

They opened and closed the door to the theater. When they were in the hall, there was no one. But there was a strange fog drifting around. And in the distance they could hear...music?

Lex listened, motioning for the others to shut up. "Is that...Skillet?" she said, listening closer. It was a mix of what sounded like a few creepy Skillet songs and the Jason theme song behind it. Altogether, it was very creepy.

All the authors huddle close for protection. Rjay looked around. Shadows danced across the walls, lightning flashed, rain pounded on the windows. But even worse, whatever was doing this...was coming after them. Then, there was a loud moan. The seven remaining authors all turned to see a figure walking.

Gel smiled weakly. "See it's probably Sam!" she said, running to the figure, and the others tried to pull her back. Gel waved to the figure. "Yo Sam, you scared us. Where did you—" Her voice trailed off as a flash of lightning lit up the figure. It wasn't Sam. Instead, it was a person with a long black cloak that covered their face.

All that could be heard was loud struggled breathing. They had fog drifting around them, and the worst part, in the person's left hand, was a long sharp scythe. Gel screamed and tried running back, but the figure reached out and grabbed her arm. It pulled her back with much strength, Gel screamed.

When the others could no longer see there friend, the screaming suddenly stopped. The six of them looked at each other, then screamed and ran in the opposite direction. Rjay and Max were racing to see who could get further away from the Grim Reaper faster, while Lex, Tallie, Troy and Gigi were just wanting to get the Hades out of the house.

All six of them to the door, but sadly, a large scythe was holding the door closed. They all screamed, then turned, hearing a scratching sound. The Grim Reaper was back.

But this time, its scythe was dripping with blood. They all felt sick, and they stepped back, but the Grimm Reaper slashed out at them.

Terrified, the six remaining authors screamed, jumping back, then turned and ran like Hades.

Unfortunately, Lex tripped. She screamed as the Grimm Reaper grabbed her ankle and pulled her into the darkness. Troy, Gigi, Max, Tallie and Rjay waited, but nothing came.

"Shawty..." Rjay whispered sadly, his voice cracking at the end. They all walked on, not knowing where to go.

Tallie sat and leaned against the wall. "How about we go to Max's or Terra's room? I mean, I don't know about Max's room, but doesn't Terra's have like poison darts, and other guarding system?" Tallie asked.

"Hey, my room has WAY more traps than hers!" Max protested. They all ignored her ("PAY ATTENTION TO ME PEOPLES!").

Rjay shrugged. "Yeah, but how will we get past it?" he asked. They all sat down tired from running for their lives.

Then out of no where, hands reached out of the wall, on either side of Tallie. They pulled her through the wall. She screamed. Rjay and Gigi shot up grabbing her arms, but it was too late. She was pulled through the wall. Now there were four. They walked around even more, not knowing where the heck they were going.

Gigi sighed and leaned on a table. She looked at the others. "Guys, we can't just keep going like this. We need to find a way to stop the Grim Reaper. How did they do it in the movie?" Gigi asked. Then she had a light bulb moment.

Troy shot up from the floor. "Hey, I have seen the end of the movie! That is the only part! It is really easy to stop the Grim Reaper!" she yelled gleefully.

Gigi nodded. "Yeah, now I remember from the ending all you do is... AHHHHHH!" she screamed as she and Troy fell through the floor.

Rjay and Max jumped forward and hammered on the floor.

Max stood, shaking her head. "No, we were so close!" she screamed in frustration.

Rjay stood grimly, and he turned to Max. "We need to get out Max. We need to save ourselves" he said softly. Then all of a sudden, the music from earlier played again. The Skillet and Jason song.

The two remaining authors looked at each other, knowing what it meant. They heard the sound of doors creaking and slamming shut. Thunder rolled and lightning flashed. Then, the Grimm Reaper appeared out of nowhere. He(or she?) dragged the scythe down, making a loud scratching sound.

They flinched and began to run. Max turned a different way than Rjay did, so the Grim Reaper went after Rjay. Finally, Rjay was cornered. He gulped as the Grimm Reaper pulled back the scythe over its head, but when it brought it down on Rjay's head, it bounced off like...like.., plastic? There was laughter.

It sounded almost like...Terra's. The Grim Reaper took off its hood., revealing a girl with black hair and brown eyes. Terra. She laughed at the look on Rjay's face. "OMG! Rjay, you should see your face!" Terra laughed. Max, Tallie, Sam, Gigi, Gel, Troy, and Lex walked out and laughed.

Rjay shook his head. "Um someone wanna explain?" he asked.

Sam stepped forward, grinning. "Well, it was all Terra's idea. She said she heard a rumor that you were gonna pull a prank on us. So, she thought of this. We hired some nerds to do the effects, Troy got the movie, and all we needed was some fake blood, a plastic scythe, and the dead of Halloween night!" She laughed evilly, grinning. Rjay looked over to all the others as they laughed. Then, he too began to laugh.

"Ha . . . I still think that image of Lex and Rjay is scarier though." Max said with a shudder. That just caused another round of laughter. Well, except from Rjay and Lex of course.

After several moments of hysterical laughing, the lights that had been turned on flickered off. Rjay looked to Terra, who merely shrugged. Then, there was familiar a loud scratching sound.

Rjay smirked. "Okay, you guys got me, enough already." he said.

Terra looked back, worry evident in her widened eyes. "Uh, dude...that isn't us." she said. He counted. All of them were here. Rjay gulped. Then, they all screamed, and ran.

THE . . . . END?

AN: WAZZUP! THIS IS MAX HERE! Okay, you know how Rjay is "Dark Knight" right? Well Terra and Lex decided to use that (obviously) for his costume. Though I really wished they forced him to dress up as Donkey Kong . . . FYI, if anyone calls him Donkey Kong, that joke was TOTALLY my idea! It happened when typing Dark Knight took way too long, so I wrote DK, then I thought of Donkey Kong. MY IDEA! DANGIT! Terra, why didn't WE think of the Donkey Kong thing? Suck.

Ahem, this is Lex. The whole "IT BURNS" thing wasn't my idea. It, indeed, was Max's. You sick little girl. :P
