After the class had finished pelting Chloe with dodge balls, they fixed the bathrooms vent to which Marinette was grateful for, and met in the cafeteria for the next activity. Which they were going to debate about.
"What time is it anyways?" Alix asked.
Max looked at the watch on his wrist.
"It's 10:42 pm. Precisely 17 minutes and 34 seconds until 11 pm. 31, 30, 29, 2-" Max answered.
"OK! Thank You Max, now what are we going to do next?" Marinette interrupted.
"Can we tell scary stories NOW!" Alya screeched.
Everyone stayed silent as they snuck glances at each other. No one really wanted to tell scary stories and it obviously made them nervous. Especially since it looked like it was going to rain with all the thunder and lightning. Except Alya, Marinette, and Alix for a...secret reason.
"Aw come on! Don't tell me your all too chicken...Kim?" Alix teased.
"What! Of course not. Let's do it im in." Kim spoke.
Alya, Alix, and Kim looked at the class who had sheepish expressions on their faces.
"Fine, where can we play?" Nathanaël asked.
"Let's play in room." Marinette offered.
"Great idea." Rose congratulated.
"We should block up the windows and make it extra dark." Juleka spoke.
"No way am I going into a dark classroom to listen to stupid stories." Chloe spoke.
"Are you scared Chloe?" Adrien asked.
Chloe's eyes widened.
"N-No of course not. I just don't think we should be doing something so elementary that's all." Chloe countered.
Adrien chuckled, but nonetheless walked over to the door and held it open for his classmates. They walked out and up the stairs to the classroom. Ivan and Kim pushed the desk to the wall meanwhile Mylene moved the chair to the corner of the room. The rest, except Chloe, helped drape construction paper over the windows. The class sat in a circle in an order that went like this...Alya, Marinette, Nino, Adrien, Chloe, Sabrina, Max, Kim, Alix, Mylene, Ivan, Rose, Juleka, and Nathanaël. Marinettes back was facing the door which is where the circle began, her tail basically touched the door. Chloe had of course maneuvered her way to sit next to Adrien.
"Who wants to sta-" Adrien began.
"I'LL DO IT!" Alya yelled, startling everyone.
Marinette passed Alya her flashlight after she closed the door. Alya gladly took it before flicking it on.
"On a dark halloween night two boys and two girls went to a party at precisely 8 pm. Two hours later the sister of the two girls began to get worried because they had not returned. She met up with the brother of the two boys and they made their way towards the house. Once they arrived at the mansion they were horrified at what they saw. The table had been thrown across the room. Cups, plates, and food were littered on the floor. The most terrifying part...was the message written on the wall. LEAVE! The message read. A foul stench filled the room, and at a second glance they noticed. It was written in BLOOD!" Alya yelled before the sound of thunder and lightning was heard.
Chloe let out a loud yell as she basically pounced Adrien. Adrien almost fell backwards at the sudden contact. Mylene squeaked as she moved closer to Ivan. Nathanaël, Nino, and Kim flinched meanwhile Rose squeezed her best friend's arm. Sabrina squeaked and Max let out a squeal that vaguely resembled a pig. Marinette and Alix barely flinched. It's as if they already knew about the story.
"The girl trembled in fear, meanwhile the boy was in a state of shock. They proceeded to look around the downstairs when suddenly something grabbed the girl's leg. She screamed grabbing the boy's attention. It began to drag her away into the darkness. The boy leapt forward and grabbed her arm. They fought for her before the figure lost its grip and, with its long claws, left a nasty scar where he had grabbed her. After a long time of failed searching attempts they came across a door that led to the basement. Hesitantly, they opened the door and climbed down the stairs. It was silent once they entered, that was until the door shut behind them. The girl screamed meanwhile the boy rushed forward and tried to open the door. It was no good. An inhuman scream filled the air as the shadows rose up from the ground. The two girls and the two boys they were looking for emerged from the wall, unconscious and in chains. The girl screamed their names while the boy shouted for them. They fought the best they could to get to their siblings, but it was all in vain as they fell unconscious. The shadows cackled as the other two were chained and tied to the wall. To this day nobody knows what happened to their bodies. The house was destroyed after the incident, but the door to the basement remains untouched. The scariest part... It's all TRUE!" Alya yelled.
Thunder and lightning were heard once again. Alya began to cackle right after. Mylene squeezed Ivan's arm as she let out a small scream. Rose and Juleka hung onto each other for dear life. Chloe was now on top of Adrien as she let out a shrill scream. Nathanaël and Kim fell backwards at the screams meanwhile Sabrina and Max held onto each other and also screamed. Nino was trying to hold Adrien upright, making Marinette, Alix, and Alya burst into a fit of laughter.
"May I ask what's so funny?" Nino asked.
"Your faces...PRICELESS!" Alix breathed as she continued laughing.
"And why are you laughing Mari?" Adrien asked.
"Laughing? Me? No I wasn't laughing I was coughing. Yeah." Marinette answered as she proceeded to make coughing noises.
Sabrina calmly helped Chloe off of Adrien to which he was thankful for. Chloe glared at the still laughing Alya as she composed herself.
"You call that a scary story! I can do you one better." Chloe huffed.
"Ok then, Go ahead. Enlighten us." Alya spoke.
Chloe eyes widened.
"Um ok then. On a dark night or whatever. There was a beautiful blonde haired girl who wore only the best clothing in all of Paris. One night she was filing her nails when all of a sudden the door swung open and in walked her butler with her nightly tea. After the butler left the gorgeous girl looked down at her nails and screamed. She had chipped a nail! THE HORROR!" Chloe screamed.
The class laughed at the blonde girl's attempt at a story.
"Nice try." Alya spoke.
"Who's going next?" Kim asked.
"You should go Marinette." Alix spoke with a small wink that went unnoticed by her classmates...except Marinette
"I can go if no one else wants to go." Marinette spoke.
"You can tell scary stories?" Nino spoke.
"Yes, I can. Why?" Marinette asked.
"You just don't seem like the kind of person who could tell scary stories." Kim answered.
"Marinettes scary stories are the best!" Alix spoke.
"Ok then go for it Marinette." Nathanaël spoke.
"I'll be right back." Alya spoke as she stood up.
"And where are you going?" Nino asked.
"Bathroom. Need I say more." Alya asked.
"N-No..." Nino spoke, a blush on his face.
Alya smirked before opening the door and closing it behind her.
"Ok Marinette shoot." Ivan spoke as he rubbed Mylene's back.
Marinette smirked. She picked up the flashlight Alya left behind and flicked it on.
"On a dark silent night 14 teens wandered into an abandoned camp. 6 boys and 8 girls. No one knew why the camp was abandoned and frankly they didn't care. As long as they could do whatever they wanted. After playing many games and fooling around they gathered in a circle in an old cabin to tell scary stories. That was until they heard a door slam-" Marinette spoke.
At that exact moment they heard a door slam. They all screamed, meanwhile Marinette and Alix gasped in surprise. Chloe once again pounced Adrien and once again he almost fell backwards.
"Keep going!" Alix gushed.
The excitement and Adrenaline flowing through her. By now they had all calmed down.
"Uh, the teens screamed in fear. Silence filled the cabin as they all tried to register what happened. Was there someone outside? A boy recounted and found them all there. After a while they brushed it off as nothing more than the wind. When suddenly, the door slammed open and in walked a figure clad in black with a pumpkin mask. They all screamed in fear again as the figure leapt forward and dragged one of them away. The door shut closed and the remaining 13 teens stayed silent. Reluctantly they grabbed their flashlights and went after them and saw-" Marinette was interrupted when the door slammed open.
They all screamed as a figure clad in black with a pumpkin mask on walked into the room. Mylene screamed as Ivan pushed them both back. Nathanaël, Juleka, and Rose scrambled away from it best they could. Kim hit his head with the desk behind him. Max pulled Sabrina away from it. Nino and Adrien stayed frozen in place still in shock. Chloe was screaming her head off as she struggled to get Adrien away from there. Alix suppressed a smirk and put on her best surprised face. It grabbed Marinettes makeshift tail and began to yank her away. Marinette tried her best to fight back, but it was all in vain.
"MARINETTE!" Adrien yelled as he stuck out a hand for her to grab.
Marinette reached for his hand but was not able to grab it with Chloe pulling him in all directions as the blonde haired girl scrambled for something to hold onto. Marinette screamed one last time before the figure clamped a hand over her mouth and slammed the door shut.
1 day earlier: Thursday night.
"And he always comes up with the most stupidest dares, which I always win, but he keeps doing them anyways." Alix huffed as she dramatically fell back onto Marinettes bed.
Alya laughed at Alix's dramatic style.
"I need to get back at him somehow." Alix finished.
"So basically you want to prank him." Marinette spoke.
"No I want to- Wait, what did you say?" Alix asked as her head shot up.
"Prank him. That's like the ultimate revenge material." Marinette spoke.
"Who are and what have you done with Marinette..." Alix teased.
Marinette blushed out of embarrassment.
"Uh I mea-" Marinette began.
"NO! Don't say anything to ruin this Marinette. You're going to prank him and we will be happy to help." Alya interrupted.
"What are we going to do then?" Alix asked.
"Well, what's Kim afraid of?" Marinette asked.
"He's afraid of this monster thing he calls the pumpkin headed shadow. Its this guy with a pumpkin head and a body thats all black. I don't even think it's rea-" Alix spoke.
"FOUND IT!" Alya yelled as she held her phone up so they could see.
The girls moved towards Alya to get a better look. Marinettes eyes widened.
"Hey! My dad has that mask in his closet. He dressed up like that for halloween once." Marinette spoke.
"Do you think your dad can let us borrow it?" Alix asked eagerly.
"Of course!" Marinette answered.
"I have some black clothes we can use." Alya spoke.
"I have orange contact lenses." Alix spoke.
"What would we use those for?" Marinette asked.
"The pumpkin shadow dude is said to grab human beings to serve as his army. When they turned possessed, their eyes become orange like his." Alix explained.
Marinette and Alya blinked.
"Ok so maybe I did read up on him a little." Alix admitted.
They laughed.
"So how do we use all of this?" Alya asked.
"I have a few ideas." Alix spoke as she smirked.
They spent the rest of the night planning what they would do and let's just say its going to be an interesting night.
Present
After the screaming had stopped and everyone had a moment to themselves they were dead silent.
"What just happened?" Sabrina asked.
"Chloe please get off me." Adrien spoke.
He was still slightly angry with what she had done. Ok, slightly angry was not how to put it. He was furious, but a hothead won't help right now.
"What was that?" Rose asked?
"The Pumpkin shadow..."
