Jamie soon got over her ear piercing incadent and next day she was standing admiring her little gold balls in the mirror. She was told to keep them in for 6 to 8 weeks till they healed then she could wear normal earrings and Jamie was excited about that and having her ears pierced made her feel grown up too
Soon it was time to move on again as Michael had been parked on a quiet area over the holidays so they hit the road again and to make sure they wouldn't run out of gas Michael stole some he filled up the camper and drove out without paying his favriout trick now and Jamie was used to him doing that so said nothing and she knew they could never really stay on once place for too long and Michael was scared in case Loomis would catch them or get word of their whereabouts and that was not a chance he would take
Michael would have loved to have gone back to Haddinfield and lived normally their with Jamie but that be the last place he would go just now so they headed on getting further and further away
" Hey Jamie how do you fancy a trip to New York we can do all the things tourists and have great fun " Said Michael
" Wow really I always wanted to go their it be so cool " Said Jamie happily
" Sure also we can visit the Statue of Liberty if you want too " Michael said as Jamie whooped for joy making Michael laugh a bit
' So I take it that's a yes then " Said Michael laughing as they drove on
" Yeah you bet " Said Jamie smiling
As Michael drove on Jamie even put a couple of her tapes on so they would have so,e music and Michael was never really one for music found himself humming along with a catchy song called Heaven in a place on earth and Jamie belted it out next to him making him laugh a little
" I take it you like music then ..Asked Michael
' Yeah that's by a singer called Belinda Carlisle when I was at home I loved watching a show called Kids incoparated I kinda fancied myself being on it but I'm not good enough all those kids are from stage school I bet " Jamie said
' Have to admit never heard of the show I'm not really one for TV ' Michael said
" it's a show aimed at kids it's about kits singing songs like that one and they wear make up and cool clothes mom let me watch it and so did foster mom I used to watch a lot of TV mostly cable mom let me watch the Disney channel a lot I love Disney I love Mickey and Minnie but Donald is my most favriout do you like Disney Unchal ..? Asked Jamie
' Yeah it's okay when I was a kid I had a toy Michey mouse thing can't remember what it did it if it was a soft toy but I remember it being their but I never really botherd much I think your aunt Judeith liked Disney when she was a kid their was a Minnie Mouse in her room that sat by her bed but she had a lot of stuffed toys so I can't really remember what she had " Michael said and it was true Judith had a lot of stuff old teddies stuffed in closets and that and he never really payed much attention to them so couldn't really remember what she had and he didn't really care
'I'd love to go to Disney world one day it be so cool could we go their maybe that be cool like so cool ..? Asked Jamie almost making Michael crash with shock
' OMG she wants me to take her to Disney world is she kidding its way too public and too expensive to get in " Michael thought
" Er maybe one day you will go but not today or next week maybe not for a while but I'm sure you will go " Michael said glancing out the window and making a face still shocked at Jamie's request
No more was said about Disney world as Michael drove on but he stole glances at Jamie who sat in the front seat next to him singing along with the cassette happily
" Unchal Michael when we go to New York will you get me a sovineer ..? Asked Jamie with a laugh making Michael turn round
' Cheeky you shouldn't ask for things but we will see if your good maybe " Michael said with a laugh reaching over and petting Jamie's head making her giggle as they drove on
" Wish we had come here for Xmas they say Xmas is magical in New York they have huge parades and that u seen them on the TV mom told me about them she was going to take me here when I was older think she went once when she was a little older than I am she said it was a cool place and full of history too mom told me about history " Jamie said making Michael suprised
" Really wow cool " Michael said as he thought his sister would not be into that kind of thing
" Yeah she said she would have liked to have been a teacher she was my teacher I guess as she took me out of school and home schooled me for a bit we learned about all the presidents how the first people came to America the slave trade and the huge plantation houses and cotton fields Titanic the gangsters of the 20s and the big depression of the 30s mom was really clever " Jamie said surprising Michael a bit
' Well sounds as if she was ' Michael said
' Unchal Michael did you go to school when you were little ..? Asked Jamie not really seeing Michael get a bit upset truth was he hated school
" For a short time but I didn't really get on and I was put out soon not really " Michael said
" Wow really how did you learn you can read and write though who taught you ..? Asked Jamie
" Oh other people did I guess I could read and write a little before I started school though so just carried on from their I guess " Michael said not saying the staff at Smiths grove taught him his school lessons but he only learned the essentials not History or that
So what about you then you said you were home schooled what happened ..? Asked Michasl looking at Jamie who sighed
' Well I..I was badly bullied some people knew about my mom and the carry on with you but I had no idea who you were so had no idea what they were talking about and after mom died I was still bullied they said my Unchal was the Boogeyman and he was gonna get me and kill me and they'd leave Halloween stuff on moms step as they knew didn't celebrate it she hated Halloween and dreaded it coming ' Jamie said sadly shocking Michael
' So then do you think I am the Boogeyman now ..? asked Michael as Jamie shook her head
" No not any more at the start I did cos I was scared and didn't know you but no not now your my Unchal and to me your just a normal person really now " Said Jamie smiling and making Michael smile too
" That's good I don't wanna be scary and I'm glad you don't see me as the Boogeyman now and their is no such thing just a story to scare kids into behaving nothing more " Michael said as Jamie nodded feeling a little better and that made Michael happy
" But I still hate those bullies for being so mean to me and that other kid who sometimes turn up and refused to help me seen him 4 Halloween mornings and afternoons in a row in the past and he seen what was going on but refused to help yet what he was doing out of school I dunno " Jamie said
" Hmmm who was that ..? Asked Micahel a bit puzzled
" Oh I dunno he was just some kid or might have been a girl too but always smaller than me younger like a first grader maybe even a pre schooler dunno really weird kid just stood their always on Halloween in daylight rest of the year they vanished so don't think they lived in town if they did no one owned up to being that kid ' Said Jamie confusing Michael more
Michael thought really hard to when he was very young as he was sure he'd seen something similar to what Jamie said and the rememberd his baby sitter a Mrs Blankenship saying something and that got Michael wondering
' Jamie what was the kid like did you get a look at them ..? Michael asked as Jamie shrugged looking at her Unchal
" Yeah he or she was small smaller than me maybe up to my shoulder like a first grader or a preschooler between the age of 5 and 6 no more but they stayed that size every time I seen them didn't seem to get taller like I did or the other kids I knew also they wore a fleecy bright orange onesie with feet and a sack over their head with a face stitched on it like black buttons for eyes couldn't see a mouth and they carried a pumpkin lollipop and a sack dressed like a trick or treater they always appeared on Halloween and vanished Novemver 1st no one knew where why do you know them..? asked Jamie
" Er .no not really must be some kid I guess and who knows might be a locale kid not owning up cos they may know they'll get in trouble for being out of school " Said Michael not telling Jamie the real truth to who the kid was as it terrify the living daylights out of her as that kid was way more scary than he was
Truth was that was no little child that was Halloween itself take on the form of a little kid to make sure everyone celebrated it and Michael had a flashback to when he was about 4 or 5 sitting on Mrs Blankenships sofa drinking juice and asking about Halloween as it facinated him
Well that's that chappy done more to come soon and of course the little kid that comes out at Halloween is little Sam from trick or treat movie love him another great Halloween film to watch and did a little research in to 80s music too and TV shows as this is set in the 80s
