Halloween – the movie, Twilight style
This is a Halloween drabble, meaning short, 100-250 word chapters. Story will be updated frequently. Stephenie Meyer created and owns the Twilight world, I just like to play in it.
Thanks to my beta, EdwardsMate4Ever. She makes the words behave.
Chapter 12 – Forks – Mysterious Knocker (Bella)
October 31st 7:30 p.m.
There was a knock at the door.
Tommy ran to open it, tiny candy bars falling from the pumpkin basket along the way. Bella followed behind him. Kids. And he said he wasn't into Halloween.
The opened door revealed a girl, much too old to be trick-or treating. She was wearing a black, mermaid style evening gown with black straps and shoulder length black gloves. She kind of looked like the girl at Jessica's house earlier, Bella thought. Short dark hair, sticking out in clumps, and black tennis shoes completed the costume.
"Where's the little boy who said 'Doyle Residence?'" the stranger asked shrilly.
Bella looked at the lady more closely, worried because she had one hand hidden behind her back.
"That was me," Tommy said.
The strange lady nodded. "I loved the formal tone. So few people have manners these days. I feel adrift in these times…"
"I love the Dior design," Tommy blurted out.
"Oh this," the strange girl replied, running her hand down the skirt. "It's not an original but a knockoff. All I can afford in my straitened circumstance. You know couture?"
She stepped forward, one hand still behind her back.
