Chapter nine
Concealing themselves in the dark shadows within the corridors, stealthed their way about and raspy voiced, frightening sounds—Mona tried so hard to conceal her laughter as it made her laugh while mimicking ghost voices. Her terrapin lover rose a brow, impressed as he never seen this side of Mona before and given him a idea to maybe use upon his prankster brother for next Halloween.
But for the meantime, playing pranks on little girls that should not be in a house alone—especially on Halloween as it is one day of the year, alot of crime occurs which is Police are either powerless to do such investigations, due there will be no way of finding the perpetrator or perpetrators of the crime as the entire town is out celebrating; day of the dead holiday or they simply choose not to, properly.
"Turn back—turn back or you will face a horrifying end." Mona mimicked the ghostly voice as if she were trying to make it sound more as a whisper. Then Raph said, afterwards, mimicking the ghostly voice as much he could with his strong Brooklyn accent. "Turn back, or we will tear off your clothes and eat your flesh. Bwahahaha."
Poor Kaley, spun around the corridors—scarcely frightened almost to death as her beautiful locks of sandy blonde hair, begun to turn to ghostly white—strand by strand through her fringe. Her eyes widen, scarcely fearing with scarcely shuttering breathing.
Opening her mouth, shuttering said. "Who—who's there?"
Both Raph and Mona concealed their laughter—continued on with the prank but not with words but with ghostly sounds. Remaining where they stood and begun to clunk their feet as they were making ghostly sounded footsteps.
Kaley walked backwards as she fasten her pace, nearly tripped over then turned around and ran—searching for a way out as she shouted. "BRIANA! RACHELLE! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Mona and Raph laughed, hard as their side allowed them then inhaled a deep breathe and faced eachother, smiling their devious grins. "Wanna to scare the other two?" Mona said, deviously glared. "Why not, the most fun I have ever since ya have come back." Raph commented, returning the devious grin.
...Meanwhile, downstairs...
Briana and Rachelle stopped, heard their names called out—glanced eachother, scarcely eyed widely. "Was that Kaley?" Rachelle said, whispery. "I think so." Briana whispery replied.
Just as they were about to walk forward, a pair of wet covered feet ran across the hall behind them. Neither looked back, encouraging the other to walk forward—as they did, they heard feet across the hall behind them, once again. "What is that?" Rachelle whispery asked, scarcely eyed widely glance her friend with shaking trembles. "I don't know, I dont want to find out." Briana whispery replied.
The feet padded towards them, close enough to touch the frightened girls. Tapping their shoulders, one by one—slowly turned around, gazing over their shoulders as they clutched upon eachother. Then saw, a small boy—covered in blood, wearing nothing more than ragged cloth, potato bag.
Both girls stood trembling, breathed shutteredly as they glared the boy in frightened, widen glance. Neither said a word as the boy rose his face, averted his glance then half smirked his devious grin.
Raising one hand to his mouth and licking his finger then rose his hand to the girls, saying. "Wanna taste? It is yummy like candy."
Both girls gazed eachother, shakily shutteredly breathed then screamed as they fan so fast but instead of out the door, they went upstairs and searched for their comrade—shouting her name. "KALEY!"
The ghost boy disappeared, giggling.
...Upstairs—in a closet...
Kaley hid within a dark, semi-rotten and smelly closet. Rocking back and forth, sitting in a semi-foetal position. Too afraid to leave the closet when she heard the screams and shouting of her name called out.
Frighteningly flinched when she heard the frightening mimicking ghost voices again as they were closer than before. The closet door begun to shake as if it was, been rattled to be open but luckily the lock still in use and was still lock just as easily. Tightening her legs against her chest, tears ran down her cheeks and begun praying.
"Kaley. Kaley." The voices called. Kaley continued praying, closed her eyes as she covered her ears—trying to block out the voices. Then suddenly, more voices called her name as footsteps padded towards her hiding place.
The door begun shaking again, as it received continuously pounding of knocks followed with continuous pleading cries. "Kaley, open the door—please."
"Go away—GO AWAY!" she repeated, shouting. "Kaley, it is us. Open the door, please." Rachelle pleaded. Kaley quickly stood up, unlocked the door and opened it—running into her sister and friend's opened arms. "You ok?" Briana asked, checking for anything that shouldn't be anywhere on her sister's tiny frame. "Yeah, I'm ok—I wanna go home." Kaley sobbed.
All glanced towards the darkness down the corridor, near where they stood by the closet as they heard the ghostly hooting. "Let's get out of here, now." Rachelle said, demanding. "Good idea." Briana replied, slowly backing up as she lead the way. Both Kaley and Rachelle followed her lead.
Then, ran for their lives—screaming in fright as something or someone had popped out of the pitch blackness and scared them out of their wits, running without a second thought as they all bolted for the door—out of the house and continued screaming as they ran down the street.
...back inside...
Both Raph and Mona, hugged eachother as they laughed out loud—as their sides begun to sore. "That was fun, let's do again next Halloween." Mona chuckled, wiping the tear away from her eye. "Yeh, next Halloween—should do it to Mikey and Casey." Raph replied, suggesting of the pair of victims for their Halloween holiday prank. "Yeh, sounds good." Mona agreeably mocked.
"C'mon, let's go home." Raph suggested, drawing his lover close within his heavily muscled embrace as he led the way out. Mona, happily returned the embrace as she walked with her lover, flowingly. As they finally reached the last step, they weren't expecting to be surrounded by a group of purple dragons that was led by Spike. One of Hun's henchmen.
"Well—well, what do we have here, boys?" spike mocked. "Look's pay day to us, spike." One answered. "Yeh, pay day." Another said, afterwards immediately.
Raph sheerly ushered his lover behind him, despite he knows she is able to defend herself but he felt better to protect her. Spike noticed the costume, Raph was wearing and laughed out loud, mockingly. "What is this? Playing dress ups? Oh, cute is that boys."
"Yeh, spike good one. Dress ups. Did your freak bitch, standing behind made you dress up?" another mocked, chuckling. Raph gritted his teeth angrily, closed both hands in tight fist as they begun tremble. "That's it!" Raph lunged and attacked the first punk that insulted his girl. Landing upon his chest, fastly leaned down and viciously grasped his throat then held him up—four feet from the floor then said as he choked the PD. "No one—mocks my girl. Ya hear me, piece of shit!"
Raspy demanded, trying to claw his way out of the angry terrapin's clutches. "Unhand me, freak."
"Whatever ya say." Raph answered, throwing him into the nearest room to the right. "Kill them." Spike ordered as he stood while his band of punks attacked the terrapin. One by one, they were defeated—broken necks, broken legs or arms.
Two were killed instantly while another was thrown far as high, to the up stair platform behind them. Mona stood behind, watching her lover took down each one of the PD gangsters while their leader stood waiting for his turn.
"Is that all ya got?" Raph stated, preparing to take out the last PD. "Well, now you have mentioned it—No, it isn't." he replied, snapping his fingers as more came inside and filled the room, ascending more than what was defeated. "Oh Shit!" Raph said.
"You got to be kidding." Mona said, lowly. Spike folded his arms, grinned with an evil smirk then said, orderly. "Kill them, bring me their heads."
"With pleasure, spike." Jonah answered. Raph turned, faced Mona as he glance over his shoulder—telling her one thing. "Mona—run."
Mona didn't obey the instruction as commanded and stayed, defending herself against those who attacked. While Raph, as it seemed to be over powered by six of the PD reinforcements but refuse to give in or give up. Blocking each and every attack as he shouted over his shoulder, ordering his lover to run once again. "Mona! I said get out of here, Run! NOW!"
"Never—I will stay and fight by your side." Mona shouted back.
As raph blocked another attack from the PD's attempt stabbing, only to receive his blade through his own jugular. Raph quickly glance Mona, giving her smile as she had slit another throat—bleeding him.
Giving eachother a nod before continued defending themselves against the PD's until finally there were only Spike left, standing and waiting. "Now—yer turn, prick!" Raph lowly huskily stated.
Spike tried to run for it out the door, like the coward he was. Raph had stopped him, grabbing his shoulder and dragging him back—ready to drive the bloody covered, sharp pointed swiss knife through his eye then was stopped by Mona. "Raph, stop—let him go."
The terrapin glared the PD punk, with an 'hell hath no fury' glance, gritted his teeth then stood up as he threw the knife to the floor and said as he picked Spike up then kicked out like a football. "Go on, get out of here—punk."
Thud—crack! "Oh crap, my nose. You'll pay for this, I swear to you freak!" spike hissed, vowinghis threat. "Let me repay the favor right now, if you like." Raph hissed back, walking towards the PD.
Mona rushly grasped his arm, tugging gently—pulling him back. "Don't, it's what he wants." Mona whispered.
Spike shuttered, breathlessly as he assumed to be finished. Then raph said again, this time more huskily than before. "Get out of here. Before, I change my mind."
Spike quickly crawled back, turned and fastly stood to his feet then ran fast as he legs could carry him. The brunette haired, beauty gently grasped her lovers hand—gently rose his arm over her shoulders and around then softly smiled. Raph returned the smile, nuzzled in her hair and said, softly. "I love you, let's go home."
"I love you too, raphie." Mona replied, kissing his lips.
Sharing an imitate, brief moment as they were disturbed by a child-like giggle. Glancing over their shoulders and saw a small child, only wearing a dirty over-drape what appears to be made of sand bag material. The small boy smiled, raising his hand up and said, whispery. "Play—please play with me?"
Both Raphael and Mona glanced eachother, smiled agreeably then turned to face the child once more when he had disappeared. Gob founded, almost confused as they looked both sides around them from where they stood and wondered, where the boy disappeared.
Then, the sounds of playful giggling echoed from the kitchen followed by wet running feet. Mona begun to quiver with fear and uncertainty as she quickly grasped his overly muscled forearm and whispery pleaded. "Raph, let's go. I don't like this."
"Like what? He's just a kid." The red clad terrapin, whispery replied with confidence. "Raph, please. sumthin' tells that we should not be here. C'mon, let's go please." Mona pleaded once more. Raph ignored her plea and decided to go on, when he heard his name been called by a lowly husky, growling like voice. "Hamato Raphael."
Been the overly confident terrapin with no fear and an highly hot temper persona. Silently gulped, calmly walked backward, showing no sign of quivering fear that had bestowed him. "Ok, you win."
"Raph? Yer ok?" Mona concerningly asked as she was sheerly led out the way, they entered. "Yeh, why wouldn't it be? Let's go home, hmm?" raph replied, trying to be his usual self. "Raph are yer sure that yer ok?" Mona asked again, not believing that he was telling the truth.
As the lovers, left the property—the boy stood in the doorway of the house then said, grinning and waved. "Bye-bye, turtle man. And lady. See you next year."
Silently stopped in their tracks, glanced over their shoulders towards the door, where the boy stood waving and grinning his strange smile. Returned the wave and half smiled as the boy stepped back in the darkness, disappeared once again followed by an echoed ghostly giggle.
The lovers glanced eachother with confused but yet unexplainable hysteria that slowly surfaced within and begun to, at first slowly leave the property then quicken their pace until they had went far enough away from the house, saying nothing until hailed for a cab.

...to be continued in epilogue...
Did you like that one?
The epilogue will be alittle more spine chilling as who has survived the battle but only to be slightly battered? What will he see, when he finally opens his eyes and sees what has happened to his comrades?
And what of Briana, Kaley and Rachelle?
Will they ever go out on Halloween again? Or just not go in no more haunted houses and tell others not to do the same?
Hmm, have to wait and see. Don't get me wrong, I like haunted places to visit but would never take a non-believer somewhere if they don't believe in ghosts, or anything involving the supernatural as I am a huge believer. I have seen what the supernatural can do, and has made me more a believer to respect them even more as if you dont, you're playing with fire.
Never mock a ghost or you will become one.
I tell you all now, there are alot of places in Australia that are haunted. For instance, one house and cemetery in Camden, NSW—Australia. There is a manor known as the Count of Costello and cemetery not far from there is haunted.
The manor still stands to this very day as the locals believe, if you tear the manor down you will be only angering the ghost that dwell within. I see most haunted places with ghosts are just misunderstood as they are trapped in limbo and need help to go to other side but no one will help but then there are those who wish to stay in limbo as they fear of what is to offer, once crossed over.
So I say, with experience of ghost—never mock them, never torment their pain and never stay around if you don't feel right about the place for too long as it may be your last. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Read and review...until next time—tootles
