Monday October 31,2005
It's Halloween at Horizon. They are, thanks to Jacob, having their first ever Halloween Party. The cliffhangers are all sitting in the Gazebo outside. Peter and Sophie told them to stay there while they checked on the other students. The Cliffhangers had been singled out by Peter to stay outside because they were "different".
"What is this all about?" Rylan asked, adjusting her Bunny ears. She had dressed as the Easter Rabbit because she was the last one to pick.
"Because we're special." Andy said sarcastically, He was a firefighter for Halloween.
"Well Personally I don't want to feel Special" Jamie said with a sneer as she pulled a Twix bar out of the pocket of her School Uniform Jumper, she was a prep school reject (think Brittany Spears).
Just then a loud screeching noise was heard. Alley Jumped.
"Wha... What was that?" Alley said scared.
"I don't know." Aiken said, holding Alley's hand and trying to comfort her.
"I don't know either. But are any of you guys getting cold?" Jacob asked shivering.
"Yeah." Rylan said. "Maybe someone should light the fire."
Aiken pulled out a book of matches from his Jacket Pocket. He was supposed to be an undertaker. He lit the fire and the flames casted shadows on the ground.
"Hey guys." Peter said coming over. He was a clown.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Sophie said pulling some white candles out of her witch costume.
"Guys, what are we doing out here?" Aiken asked, he knew but was playing along.
"We're coming to that Aiken." Sophie said smiling.
Sophie handed a white candle to each of the 6. Then she gave one to Peter and Kat.
She lit hers and then had the others light theirs.
"These candles," Peter said to them, barely in a whisper "Represent the spirits of the people who roam these mountains."
"What?" Alley asked scared.
"It is said by a lot of the people around here that the Cliffhangers are a special group of the people of Horizon." Sophie began. "The legend started some 10 to 15 years ago."
There was an eerie silence from the Cliffhangers.
"When I assigned you to the Cliffhangers group I knew you all needed to be here. I know I'm not supposed to pick favorites, but Cliffhangers have always been the group that I liked the most." Peter said.
"Along time ago, Native American's roamed this area, from here to the end of the ridge. They had many traditions. One was of the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit exists over all of us. It watches our every move. They also believe in spirit guides. Animals or People that appear to us through visions to help us reach our destinations in life." Peter continued,
"Everyone has a spirit guide. But the at least one of our cliffhangers every year has had very strong visions in their experiences here. It's in your background." Sophie said.
"Juliet Waborne was one of them." Peter said. "And probably the most evident of all." He paused for a moment to add to the effect. "The year before she Graduated Juliet got lost. She fell into a hole, an underground cave actually."
The group looked at Peter and Sophie. "We couldn't find her and had to call search and rescue. In the cave Juliet found the bones of an Indian girl. The girl had fallen into the cave long ago and died."
There were hushed whispers by the group.
"Her bones are buried on these grounds, right over there." Peter said pointing to the statue of the Mother and Baby bear.
"When we found Juliet she had a story to tell. The indian girls spirit had talked to her and had kept her alive. This spirit changed Juliet's life." Sophie said.
Just then the fire when out. When Aiken lit the fire again Peter and Sophie were gone. In their spaces were 2 roses. Roses didn't grow this time of the year and the Cliffhangers wondered where they were.
"Peter. Sophie. This isn't funny!" Rylan yelled. She had a huge fear of being alone.
"Calm down guys." Aiken said playing them wonderfully. "They have to be here somewhere."
"I don't want to calm down." Jamie said getting up.
"Lets go look for them." Aiken suggested.
"Where? Huh? The spirit took them." Alley said scared.
"Alley, that's just a story." Aiken said. "Don't fall for it too. Now come on guys."
The group followed Aiken in the dark. The area was pitch black. Soon something grabbed Jacob and he screamed. That's when Peter and Sophie popped out of the shadows. They were laughing along with Aiken hysterically.
"You guys are evil!" Alley said.
"Aren't we," Sophie said, the contacts she had put in her eyes glowing red.
"Dude that was awesome!" Andy said, he never knew Peter and Sophie had it in them.
"That was NOT funny." Alley said seriously.
"Come on guys, lets go back to the gazebo." Peter said and the group followed.
When they got there everyone relaxed again. The whole thing once they thought of it had been funny. They had let themselves be tricked by Peter and Sophie.
"Anyone want a starburst?" Peter asked throwing Sophie a pack from his bag.
The group had some candy and Peter and Sophie started talking to them again.
"You guys, a lot of things have happened to Cliffhangers in these mountains. The whole story about Juliet was true." Peter said. "And the Cliffhangers boys dorm is believed to be haunted.
"What?" The guys all asked. Trying to keep up a brave front. To find out your room was haunted would terrify anyone.
"A boy named Isaac once committed suicide in your bathroom. Some of the cliffhangers at the time, Scott, Ezra, Auggie, and David, say that the place is haunted."
"No way." Aiken said, being sucked into this one.
"You mean when I pee, he's watching?" Jacob said grossed out.
"Sure our ghost has to be a pervert!" Andy said laughing.
A LITTLE BIT LATER
The group was heading back to the dorms. Maybe it was all the stories that had been told tonight or something. But Alley felt a sudden chill.
"Does anyone else feel that?" She asked.
"Feel what Alley?" Jacob said fixing his M&M costume (hey it's his favorite candy)
"It just got cold." Alley said to them.
"No it didn't Alley." The group said looking at her like she was crazy.
Alley bent down to adjust her "glass slipper" she was supposed to be Cinderella tonight. That's when she heard her name called.
"Alley." A voice whispered
"Who called me?" Alley asked the group who was a little away from her.
"No one called you Alley." Andy said to her.
"Alley." The voice called again.
"Guys stop it. That's not funny." Alley said angrely.
"Sstop what? We aren't doing anything Al." Rylan said.
That's when it hit her. It was Adam. She looked around for him and saw him near the bear statue.
"Guys, I'll be there in a few." Alley said.
"Okay." Rylan said as they headed back.
Unknown to Alley, Aiken stayed behind to look out for her.
Alley walked over to the statue. Adam was there putting a flower on the grave of the Indian girl.
"Why are you here Adam?" Alley asked.
"It's Halloween Al." He said "Um DUH!"
"So you thought you'd take time out of your busy schedule to freak me out?" Alley asked bitterly.
"Truthfully yes.' Adam said with his usual sick sense of humor. "Take my hand Alley." He said to her putting out his hand.
Alley touched his hand and then pulled away. "Your cold Adam." She said scared.
He looked at her sadly. "What do you expect Alley. I am dead you know."
Reality hit Alley like a ton of bricks. She forgot that everytime she saw him. "Why are you doing this Adam?" she asked suddenly serious.
"Doing what Al?" Adam asked innocently. "Other than liking to see you act crazy? He laughed at that part.
"Keep coming here." She asked. 'Why? What is so special that you have to come and torture me like this?"
"Torture you Alley? Is that what you think this is." Adam asked sadly, leaning against the bear statue. "I came because I thought you wanted to see me. I'll leave then." He said and started to walk away.
"Adam wait." Alley shouted after him.
Adam turned around and saw Aiken coming up to Alley. He knew he had to leave.
"Alley someone's coming." Adam said.
"Adam I'm sorry." Alley said blowing a kiss to her brother.
"It's not your fault you're not ready. I thought you were, after that clown guy's speech." Adam said (clown guy-Peter). "But I guess I was wrong." Adam said and disappeared.
"Alley are you okay?" Aiken rushed up to her and hugged her.
"What?!?!" she asked.
"You were talking to yourself Alley." Aiken said. I got worried.
"I was talking to Adam for your information. And he left because of you." Alley said bitterly.
"I'm sorry." Aiken siad hugging Alley tighter.
She hugged him back.
"Ready to go back to your castle Cinderella?" Aiken asked after a while.
"I guess Prince Charming." Alley said.
"I don't exactly fit that part." Aiken said looking at his outfit.
"True, but you come to my rescue every time." Alley whispered to him and kissed him.
The two started walking back when Alley saw the flower on the girl's grave. She picked it up.
"Happy Halloween Adam.' She said as she picked it up. She knew it was for her.
"Happy Halloween Everyone!" Aiken shouted loudly. Practically the whole school heard him. His voice echoed in the mountains. They walked into their dorms and went to sleep.
THE END
P.S. Sorry this was so kinda bad. I wanted to write about Halloween but my idea didn't come out that great. Hope you got the gist of it :). The next installment will be much much better. Sorry If I disappointed you.
